@SirDarkened what temp did you use it dude?

This thing kicks like a dinosaur, you guys must have some real iron lungs temp 2 tickles my throat and makes me cough a little even with the WT :smug: I wonder if the next revision of this vape will be a metallic shell like the Pax but with glass mp/Gongs. Although I guess the whole unit would, then be too hot then to hold. :shrug:

The smell of the Pinnacle IMO is more than a Solo but less than an MFLB. I am very glad I bought the Ryot case at the same time, the natives in these parts regrettably don't get lifted and or High:doh:

I have emailed away for glass replacements looking forward to them :rockon:

Iron lungs man! Level 3 kills me and I only went to levels 4 and 5 once whilst attempting to vape kief in the FMJ.

Hope you get some replacements sorted dude, I wonder if its even possible to make a glass MP? I doubt it..

If you are having problems with your Pinnacle Pro based on a hairline break in the unit around mouthpiece or battery/heating issues (these are related side effects of the crack). Please email or call Vaporblunt to report your issue. I sent mine back and after many many many many many many emails was informed the unit was cracked and could be caused by a fall or a sticking Pong. Therefore it was Not covered by the warranty.
Total Mind Meltdown Occurs........................
I have finally gotten someone who is saying they are going to check into it and see if there is anything they can do to help me. It would help all who have this problem to unite and voice the common issue calmly and professionally. I love the Pinnacle Pro and want to support the company all I can. I expect the same from them.

Several pages back, somebody posted links to chinese PnP knockoffs. The eBay seller you linked to is located in Hong Kong and the price is well below US retail. I'll let you do the math.

Most people here only buy glass from china. :evil::evil::evil:

When I hear about some members having trouble getting email responses from VaporBlunt or that they are not clear in communication, I am befuddled. :hmm:

EVERY time I send their CS an email, they reply within a day and is typically brief, but usually clear.

Today, via email, they told me that @Engineering 's glass lined PonG design will not be ready for 4-6 weeks and that it is permissable to exchange multiple PonG if you live in the US (sorry int'l folks). I did not ask if MPs count for the exchange.

Every communication I had by email with TVB was unsatisfactory. I have posted earlier in this thread about my experiences. After my experiences with two other vape manufacturers, this was no small part of why I sold my PNP (alongside the lack of big hits). I will happily dig up the emails again. For example though; I sent several emails talking about the melting PNP mouthpiece tips and they completely ignored this part.

I wonder if something was wrong with your unit? You said it lacked giving you big hits. My Pnps are big hitters, big clouds of vapor. Thats never been an issue for me. I have to make sure it's not so big that I don't start coughing.

With the melting mouthpiece it's understandable that you would want to sell it.

Thanks for the response. I figured it was a knockoff or an imitation but figured I'd ask as I don't follow this thread too much. Definitely appreciate you pointing me in the direction of the good deal on massdrop. Might just have to try this one out.

BARNBOY 24 HOUR TRVB GonG UPDATE!
Ok folks, I survived the first 24 hours without any mods to the TRVB GonG. You will understand this once you see the photos below after 24 hours of use (approx 5-6 bullets). The thing looks worse than the @emmdeemo GonG with all the particles and reclaim. I also noticed I started to cough on the ride home; I had to do something quick! My first attempt was to try cotton inside the GonG. Miserable failures at every try! I would either over-pack and not breathe, or under-pack and have a wad of un-natural cotton in the back of my mouth. The one time I was able to pull it into sheets, have it stay in place and not restrict too much still was not very enjoyable; little to no vapor and a different flavor (can’t describe, assumed cotton). So I gave up on this approach hitting my SS screen collection with a shear. After a bit of doing, I was able to shape/form one that would stick/stay inside the TRVB GonG. And in time, I know the resin will glue it. I do notice the air flow is noticeably more restricted on the TRVB GonG than the Epic Adjust-A-Bowl. It now gets a bit worse as the bits from the bullet get stuck in the GonG hole and screen…

OK, I do love the o-ring and smaller size (approx 1cm smaller than the Epic) of the TRVB GonG, but I’m still undetermined what GonG will be used for my PonG mod project. Yesterday I was running on the excitement of getting the new tool. But after 24 hours of Camel Bare-Butt bits in my mouth, I’m not so excited. The bits are like that cup of coffee from Starbucks where the barista tilts the pot to fill the last bits of your cup with sediment grinds. Will give the screen mod a go tomorrow and report back. The first session was very nice and butt-bit free… (@GeekVape – I did add a scale just for you; still think 2mm insertion in the front.)

Again the Epic Adjust-A-Bowl has not been cleaned once in over a week!

This next photo maybe explains my strange comment about the PNP AC supply giving me power errors. I really can’t see any pitting, I can feel something like sand grind as I spin the 3.5mm barrel connector. At that same time it grinds, the PNP will go into a power failure light show and shut off. A bit of a bummer if you want to plug in at home, happen to move about and power off the session. My fix for this at home is shown below (yes more BB Ghetto-Toolz!). I don’t have to worry using the Proto1 Car Charger while doing the commute…

Hi Very high
Just had an email from TRVB confirming the @Engineering Gong is 4-6 weeks away still. My silicon sleeve mcguvyer is always riding up the glass :hmm: a little annoying and not at all aesthetically pleasing. Looking forward to this shorter glass piece and hoping the 0-ring makes it more stable. I have used this current piece with the WT with no issues so far, seems stable enough. Just done 2 back 2 back sessions with one bullet load on level 1 before bumping it up 2 for last couple of minutes. Think this is the best temp for myself :nod:

So the parcel came. I coudn't help the temptation and opened it. Charged for a bit and loaded the first bullet. First impressions on a dry vape, even on level 1, it hits harder than a Solo. Not as much visible vapor to start with but the heat hits you and its a lot hotter than the Solo. I like the very little resistance to the hits and I found that it hit me quicker than a Solo did and harder.

Put it on charge and hit it with the water tool next and what can I say. Wow! is probably the only word I can use. This is the first time I've used a water pipe. The taste was much better than with the mouth piece and heat is pretty non existent. Much bigger hits. I realised I coughed a lot more with the Water Tool though. Any reason why? Bigger hits? I've never been this high off my Solo which is weird as that is considered one of the best vapes. Maybe convection requires a good technique which I didn't master. Although I used to get big clouds, just never found myself to get this high as I did with the PnP(even though it had less clouds)

Stealth wise, its tiny and very portable but one big concern is the smell. The Solo had no where near as much the smell. I doubt there's anything that can be done to overcome this as it ruins the stealthiness a bit.

So overall conclusion. Not happy with the build quality compared to the Solo and the smell factor. Minor gripe with the heater taking longer than the Solo to heat up but thats expected from such a small unit. Having said that, it hits like a PRO! It got me medicated like crazy so thats a big plus point.

Just emailed @TherealVaporblunt again regarding replacement mouth pieces as I seriously don't expect these plastic attachments to last very long. Once I get a daily driver mouth piece sorted that works fine with or without the Water tool, I'll be sorted. Even if the water tool isn't completely stable as I hold it anyway rather than rest it on a table with the stand.

Also any suggestions for cheap cases that can store the PnP, water tool and bullets? Also need to get bullet caps and extended battery.

@Gee_Grover This is the case I use and it holds everything including the 6 bullet holder and all mp's/pongs/cleaning tools etc Smell proof as well :rockon:

http://www.vapefiend.co.uk/epages/e.../Shops/es115421_es122485197719/Products/42078

Can anyone confirm to me if the below battery pack is the correct one I need for the Pnp? I noticed its cheaper than vapefiends :nod: but can anyone tell me the correct lead needed to go to the pinnacle?

Thanks for that, looks promising. Does the case have any small pockets inside? or just one big one? Now need to find a cheaper bullet holder, I don't need 6 bullets so £40 is a bit steep for a holder. The battery looks like the right one. I think any battery would work but would just charge slower than this one as it has 3A output rather than my Anker Slim 3's 2A output.

Just realised the Anker Slim 3 I have only outputs 1A so it'll be very slow

Hi Very high
@Gee_Grover Got to admit I got my bullet holder off yoyokid on ebay...much cheaper.

Here is a picture of inside the case with my stuff, you have to remove all the padding however.

Thanks for that but it makes me think if there's any point paying so much for a bag where you end up having to remove the padding? Feel a bit worried leaving the water tool in there without any padding? How does it hold up? And does this yoyokid post to the UK? How long does it take?

Hi Very high
@Gee_Grover takes just under a week from the yoyokid. Great service really. If you look back on vape fiends site he has a YouTube video for the case showing what and how it holds stuff. I have a vapecase for my solo which I modded to fit the WT so I only need to keep my pinnacle and it's bits and bobs in the Ryot case. My main use for it though is to eliminate any smells.

Not bad. I guess one week's wait is nothing compared to the saving we make compared to UK's extortionate prices. Oh so you don't use the Pinnacle case for the WT? I might get one of them TomTom cases. They have padding and still big enough to protect. Not too sure about how smell proof they'll be though
