Discontinued Pinnacle Pro

[lookhigh]

I literally just received my PnP w/ WT about 10 mins ago only to notice it doesn't have the glass mouthpiece.
I haven't used it yet as it's charging but after reading the first hundred pages of this forum, I realized I'd only be inhaling burnt plastic fumes if I don't replace it with the glass mouthpiece.
Can anyone please tell me how to get one?

Welcome to the fun.......
Please note not everyone mouthpiece has a problem (i still used mine no probs until i got the replacement ). Also use the PONG for a better experience.
For a replacement get into contact with VaporBlunt.

My new little friend and I got off to a rocky first date. In a nod to other dates in my life, I could not get her to start up. Pressing and holding the button for any period of time proved fruitless. I plugged her in and got all solid lights. Pushed and held the button and the first light began to flash. Unplugged her and the light immediately went out. Plugged her in again and left her for several minutes. Unplugged and tried to start her up again. This time, it worked.

Two or three hits on #1 were tasty. I then popped it up to #2 and took 7-8 more hits (not so tasty). My intent was to do 3-4 hits on #2 and then bump it to #3 but #2 was surprisingly harsh and I didn't think I was ready for #3. So, I modified my draw to 5 seconds, as compared to 15-20 with MFLB or Vapman. The effect was a bit different (body effects were much more pronounced). The abv was nicely browned.

Not sure what I think after this experience. If the initial startup issue goes away, I'll feel better.

Comparing the size of the abv load between the VM, MFLB, and PnP, VM is the clear winner. Its load was probably 1/2 the PnP load (PnP had been loaded up about 3/4 of the bullet). MFLB was probably 20% larger than the PnP. There was no attempt to equalize the load to compare effects...just used my normal eyeball load for the VM and MFLB. Next, I'll start ramping down the PnP load to see what that does.

In terms of the smell, I was very glad that I had opted to test outside. It produces a much more pronounced odor than the VM or MFLB.

With respect to technique, I'm sure I can improve how I use the PnP but it's certainly easier to get immediate results. VM and MFLB have a bit more of a learning curve.

I like it but don't love it yet.

Quick question guys/gal's when I send In my wt attachment for the glass one do I send both the mouth pice and the pong attachment or just the pong attachment I'm a little confused I don't want to be without a vaporizer for a few weeks but if I have to I will lol

I inquired about this via email to the company a few weeks ago and they replied that you can send in multiple MPs and PonGs, did not say it was limited or anything, but with the all the negative user reports here, it's hard to know what to trust from their customer service unfortunately.

Mine died after three days. Cascading red lights of doom.

I'm a limey and stupidly bought it from an e-bayer in the States. Arsehat!
They have RMA'd me and I returned it in the post today, but I'm in fear of customs and the Feds. I've sent it back because I'm an eternal optimist and hope my next post won't be from a cell.

For those three days it was the best stealth vape I've used to date, shame about the build quality. It's like a Remington nose hair cutter, but less sturdy.

When are vapo(u)rblunt going to design a non-melting e-beer?

Wish me luck,

Twister

Just send either one, but my advice would be to wait until the engineer GPONG is ready.

Although I feel bad for those with disintegrating MPs/PonGs, I have not had this problem at all. I vape up to Level 4/5 dry often and my MP/PonGs look brand new.

I am a bit OCD about cleaning so it's never clogged with anything. I also never use my unit upside down as I feel the hot bullet touching plastic could result in problems.

Not saying there aren't issues, but my well used PNP looks the same as the day I got it.

 

[Smokey Da Bear]

Thank you everyone for your reply I guess I'm just gonna send both in the mouth pice and pong adapter.i don't have a problem with the pices and all but it would be nice to have the glass ones you know lol I guess the faster I send it the sooner I'll get it back it just sucks to send both in at once because then I won't have no mouth pice to use the vaporizer with

You should only send one in, and then send the other one in later for the engineering gong. That's what I plan to do, especially since the gong they've been shipping doesn't give a secure connection with the WT.

 

[djlasagna]

Weird issue has come up lately. I turn my Pro on and plug it into the charger where it will turn itself off after a minute compared to the full 8 min cycle. Except every once in a while it'll let me plug it in and keep working.

Ok that would be smarter besides shipping cost jajaja I guess I'm just gonna send in the mouth pice and still use my WT wile I'm waiting..post some pics when u get ur and let us know ur opinion it always helps for newbies like me. ; )

There's your problem

When I had my PNP for only a few days I "pushed and held" the button to turn it on and nothing happened. I panicked! The I realized that it required a quick push with no "holding" to turn it on (just a "click" push is needed).

It does sound like there are other problems with your PNP, and you did state that the first light began to flash for you after you pushed and held the button, so that would indicate that it turned on.

But normally it is just a quick "click" push to turn the unit on.

You nailed it, my friend! What a silly bunt... I thought I read about having to hold it but that must have been for shutting it off.

Thanks!

Ok. I've had a week to play with the PnP, and have tried a couple simple mods. Regarding the PonG sticking in the WT, I wrapped the "neck" of the PonG with a layer of Teflon tape. The tape was rated for 500f+ temp, so it seems to allow a better seal with minimal sticking.

I also spotwelded a fine mesh screen to a light spring. The spring and the mesh are slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the bullet. I fill the bullet, place the springscreen in the bullet (screen towards herb, with coil protruding out the end) and place the mp/PonG on the unit. The coil lightly compresses against the mp/PonG screen when snapped together. This prevents any particles in the upper screen, and keeps the bullet from coming into contact with the plastic parts (regardless of angle). It does the same thing as the cotton fix, but it improves the draw and does way less filtering. So far, so good!

For some reason I don't quite understand is when starting a session with the prototype mouthpiece I dribble at first do I need some kind of bib

 

[stickstones]

@orygone - did you use lead free solder?

 

[Sativape]

@stickstones,

Spot welding involves fusing multiple metal pieces between two weld tips clamping down on with high pressure.

It's not like soldering or mig/tig welding.

But, I know some people who call soldering "spot-welding" also, and lead and flux in an air path does not sound tasty or safe.

@orygone,

Are you able to post some pics of your new creations?

On another note:
I have an RC hobbiest friend who is going to purchase a TAIG CNC mill and lathe from Deepgroove1.
He plans to build custom RC components.
I plan to build custom vaporizer components.

He's a vaporist as well.
I'll be focusing on threaded and non-threaded adapters, MP's and fittings for the PNP first, since we both own these and it is our #1 favorite portable vape.

Please keep in mind that before you start posting about your planned venture, you have to register as a commercial account (accessory maker) with @vtac.

@pakalolo,

Thank you for the information.

But, everything I have and use is all for persy.

My sole purpose of sharing information about the CNC mill and lathe was so people can purchase the equipment on their own.

This way, they can then create their own personal custom components with the equipment.

Quite the opposite of what you were assuming.

I'd like to mention also, if you're lucky enough, you can find these desktop mini CNC mills and lathes used for dirt cheap.

An even cheaper product is going non CNC and just go plain manual.

Some Babylon tings a gwaan pon dis area these days so Imma rest for a likul while still.

Bless to everyone on here who spreads the knowledge and helps others!

Happy long weekend to all!

Here is the spring/screen. And yes, this was not soldered. The spring and screen were fused by compression and electricity. No foreign matter added.

Nice work!

Cool mod! Ill stick to cotton. I dont have the set up to fabricate that. Lol.

The saga continues...

With the o-ring seal that the TRVB all glass gong offers, made me go back to the drawing board.

I really do need an extended air path for allowing the vapor to cool down a bit.

Taking dry hits straight from the TRVB glass gong still gets a bit hot for the throat.

Here's what I did to my DA hack job:

Pulled out the O-ring slightly so you can see it in this pic.

I had to take down the glass spacer to ensure that the O-ring sits in the PNP.

This thing doesn't leak any air at all.

My AVB is coming out very dark at 2 now (equivalent to 4 before).

Need to use the sipping method with this set up.

All glass all day with my PNP from now on!

BTW, for the DIY people, when you're doing cutting/grinding with your PES Pong or MP, tape off the inside so you don't accidentally take off any material unintentionally.

Edit: I forgot to mention that the O-ring that I am using is Viton. Kalrez is another hi-temp, chemical resistant o-ring material.

This is exactly what I need a set up like this would be perfect wished I had more time in my hands. That looks neat
