It looks like the glass tube is sealed and fresh air comes from the front opening, right?
Yep...I discovered that I get a good result if there is a bit of airflow around the heating element...
And an update on my unit...after 2 months faithful use the temperature setting dial became disconnected from reality and failed.
Luckily for me the owner of Off Ya Tree stands by his products and replaced it without a hassle, and then, unbelievably.....or maybe not according to some in this thread...the heating element died on the second unit within a few days.
After asking me basic questions (Was I leaving it running at high temps for prolonged periods?...No) he replaced the box for number 3 which so far seems to be the best of the lot.
At $385 retail the price was a rip, but the after sales service and willingness to do the right thing by their customers has impressed me...I sure as hell couldnt afford another one atm.
And he also offered me either a refund or a store credit, but the week of smoking between boxes was enough to convince me I never want to go back to combustion.
With vaping I like the way I can get full benefits off my product AND do it again during hard times minus only the sweeet taste.
I can understand the frustration with failed units experienced by some on this thread...I was lucky that my retailer was an honorable guy and made things right.
My new box is the best of the 3...Im hoping I got a good one this time...a month in and so far so good.
Thanx for the inside view, Electric. I was wondering what drove these babies...its certainly a growing market...the manager at Off Ya Tree said he went from selling 5 - 6 a month a year ago to 30+ a month now, and increasing.
From reading this site I now know I prefer non-bag systems, as long as the electronics are stable and the parts non flammable or toxic and my humble VP600 is finally delivering the goods consistently and reliably (touch wood). Digital temperature control is a must IMO, and my next purchase will hopefully be even better.
btw...
this is where I first saw this temp setting and it works a treat with box no3.
