OK, wtf is this vape?

[Qbit]

I found a link to this image posted over at Grasscity. Anyone got any ideas about it? (I'm also awaiting a response by that poster.)

That's pretty cool lookin'! An electircal coil as a heat source in interesting, but I kinda like the trippy design.

:mmm:

sexy

and no cords? batteries maybe...

I wonder where the weed goes, it looks awesome though. Reminds me of my old flight simulator joystick.

Could it be battery operated?

A Hobbit Vape.

Hehe. I can just see it ...


Gandalf: Bilbo, you need to give up the ring.

Bilbo: No!

Gandalf: I'll give you this vape.

Bilbo: Oh fuck, why didn't you just say so?

My guess is a concentrate device..

Apparently the herb goes above the pinched bit of the tube.

nice find.

was a little surprised it doesnt use lithium batteries, and not nickel cadmium either

apparently it uses NiMH or nickel-metal hydride batteries
never heard of it but found a brief description on wiki

"A NiMH battery can have two to three times the capacity of an equivalent size nickelcadmium battery. The energy density of a NiMH cell is similar to that of a lithium-ion cell, but the rate of self-discharge is higher. This means that a stored NiMH battery will lose charge more quickly. In 2005 a low self-discharge NiMH battery, which stays charged for much longer, was developed."

he says at least 8 sessions with 3-4 bowls a sesh.
not too shabby

doesnt look seem like hes actually selling it tho

This is what the LB uses. They're much better than Nicads and much more economical vs. lithium.

Woodwork like this would make for an expensive vape. If he wanted to mass produce it he'd need to simplify the design.

It looks like a very nicely customized cordless drill to me. The finger grooves and battery looking thing at the bottom kinda give it away. He probably gutted the drill for what he needed and customized the rest.

much more economical vs. lithium

depends on the lithium chemistry -- LiFePO4 can get >> 1000 recharge cycles vs. 300 to 500 for NiMH, plus much less drop in capacity over time.

the red thing looks like an "emergency stop" button you see on serious machinery...i guess that may come in handy if you get waaay too vaked
