Portable Vaporist
Hey guys! I just got one of these and got caught up on the past 7 pages of this thread. I went the cheapest route possible since it sounds like they're all pretty much exactly the same, and got mine from the DHgate seller "alexstore" (http://www.dhgate.com/product/produ...emcode=268558200#myaccount_orderdetail-1-null).
Shipping was crazy fast (less than a week) and I frickin love this thing! It replicates a real, proper dab better than any other portable/pen based solution I've tried. The one I got is the most recent version of the glass piece with the slit percs, and I've had zero clogging problems and minimal claim buildup.
All that said, I'm a bit concerned about how much plastic is in the heating chamber. It looks like the whole white section that surrounds the heating element and secures the glass section is made of pretty flimsy plastic. It can be dented and marked easily when cold, and gets notably softer when the nail is heated which, I would assume, means that it's releasing something toxic that I don't want in my dabs....
It looks like this hasn't really come up yet on this thread. What do you all think? Reason for concern?
Its supposedly PTFE. I am not seeing any discoloration, change in shape or texture, or apparent out gassing after several weeks of hard use. I cleaned it with some iso qtip the other day and looks like new.
I'm not really concerned at the moment.
