Discontinued Pinnacle Pro

[Quetzalcoatl]

hey guys, im new to this site, did some reading but cant seem to find answers... any help is appreciated.
So i i just got the pnp with watertool and it works great with herb but im a bit confused with using bho with it... i used to use bho with a bong with the sliding heat plate adapter and it worked really well, HUGE CLOUD... but i feel like im barely getting anything with the pnp... so i heat it up at full with the fml inside until it stops blinking all purple lights... than i quickly put a dab, about the size of a grain of rice and immediatly put on the glasstool and inhale... i get some cloud but not a huge one... also, it doesnt seem to evaporate as at the end when i take out the fml, it looks like just melted wattery budder. am i doing something wrong? or just not good for bho?

The FMJ just sucks for oil. Wrap your dab in a bit of 100% organic cotton in a bullet, works better since you can direct the hot air through the cotton and the cotton acts as a wick to keep the oil in place.

oops sorry, its budder not bho... but would it be the same thing? should i place the cotton inside and just put a little grain off budder at the top, put the water tool on and start hitting?

My now preferred method.

If it is very grainy unpressed bubble hash that crumbles to a kief consistency, then I'll wrap it in a very thin layer of degummed hemp fiber and roll it up and drop it in a bullet.

If it is has been pressed, then i'll place a flattened piece into one of these screen balls and squeeze it into a bullet.

The screen ball is and the hemp fiber method both will give the best taste and last very long.
It will also keep the bullet relatively clean but more importantly, the bottom of the PNP chamber clean.

It's pressed. Thanks for the advice, I don't have the screen balls but I was able to bend a normal pipe screen into a Y shape that seems to do the trick pretty well.

I have to say, I smile every time I see your avatar. Between the whacked out hair and the potentially whacked out theories, I love Giorgio. But the real money shot? Listening to him trying to pronounce "extraterrestrial."

I'm not sure what to make of all the comments and photos. I had a friend who used my PnP for 3-4 weeks. Having finally pried it from her claws, I have been using it for a week or two. I don't know what she did but I'm assuming she used cotton. I've been using non-organic cotton (sorry, it was handy...) and my PnP is damn near immaculate. The heat chamber and bullets look nearly brand new. The pong (or whatever the hell it is called) is a bit resined up but a quick ISO scrub with a Qtip cleared that up.

The PnP has replaced my MFLB as the goto device, unless I'm trying to pull a fast one with my kid nearby playing Xbox...I'm tired of screwing with the MFLB batteries and I just can't get the abv anywhere near as brown with the MFLB as I can with the PnP. It also doesn't hit as hard and fast.

Having said all that, the PnP is really harsh. I'm now up to a 6 inch tube (circumstances prevent me from using that lovely looking water tool) and it is still making me cough up a lung (10 draws at 1, 10 at 2, 8 or so at 3). I start choking mid-way through 2. Increasing my draw speed helps but does not clear the issue.

I was sooooo close to biting on the Massdrop Indica but I'm running out of places to hide the devices. My walnut Vapman has arrived but is in post office purgatory. Looking forward to comparing it to the MFLB and PnP. Problem is those torches are so goddamn loud with their clicking. I'm confident the VM is more efficient than the PnP (by a long margin) but the VM torch just makes so much noise.

Just got another reply from VB.

I asked why I'm expected to pay to replace a faulty part, is the part not covered under warranty.

This was their reply:

"The mouthpiece is not covered under the 1 year limited manufacturer warranty. Although we do have a glass replacement that we are offering out Pinnacle customers. This piece replaces both the mouthpiece and PonG and the only cost to you is shipping. I will attach a photo with this email. Please let me know if you would like to proceed."

The photo was of the early/temporary glass solution they shipped out initially. I'm just confused they claim the mouthpiece is not under warranty, but still offer a replacement, but not the official gpong revision?

More and more, this company is turning out to be a joke. I'm so glad I didn't go with a Baker as my home unit and went with Arizer. Safe to say I will never purchase a Vapor Blunt product again.

that 's all it took for me, times 2-3... for a nice crack to appear ... these plastics seem to really dislike alcohol!

 

[SiDankies]

Need a car charger for this thing man. Battery dies too quick to not have one. VB is also scared of us now so no longer looks at ours needs and suggestions.

 

[sacredtruths]

Never use ISO on plastic.... It dries it out and weakens it tremendously !

I only used the ISO on the screen. The plastic looks surprisingly good.

 

[WildChild]

I use ISO on a q-tip in between ultrasonic cleanings and mine still look brand new. And I dry hit at 4 for the second 1/2 of my session as well.

It's so odd that a few of us are not having any issues at all. I do maintain and clean my devices after each use. Not sure if that makes a big difference for chipping/breakage/etc. Perhaps the water tool puts too much pressure on the PonG and unit collar?

I love this vaporizer, but I am a high temp guy who loves a throat hit...not for everyone, I know.

EDIT:

I use ISO on the screen as well, not the whole MP. Alcohol damaging plastic makes sense.

I never clean mine lol.. but i also never let it get gross, i always blow out excess bud and what not. I never cleaned my bullets yet. I did clean my pong. My heating element seems to be getting a bit dirty though so i will have to ckean that soon.

Ya, the gifts of Bipolar and OCD keep me busy cleaning shit lol.

Happy to hear you enjoy yours.

Hope folks having problems get satisfaction soon.

You should hit up @BarnBoy, or just invest in a DC to AC inverter that you can scoop up from anywhere for around $10 these days.

I recently got when for $12 (%75 off at tigerdirect) and it had 2 x 120VAC plugs, and a USB port.

The cobra is a beast, and it has a built in cooling fan.

Total of 400W, which is more than enough to run my laptop and PNP while on the road:

I believe the most trusted vendor for the PnP is THEYOYOKID1 on E-bay. You may find the PnP cheaper but YOYOKID1 is an approved vendor that will step up if any complications should arise, you have read the last 40 or 50 pages of this thread haven't you? Also when it comes to customer service YOYOKID1 is the man!
Here is a link for Pinnacle Pro on E-bay → http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pinnacle-Pr...228?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c36510b2c

Go through YOYOKID1 on ebay. For best results get the GPONG.

 

[metrons]

Hello, I jest found a nice sale price for this item on one of UK based website: around 138 quid for the latest model. Is it still Worth to get it from Yoyo guy for 100 quid+ mouthpiece and import charges? Would be grateful if someone can get around it. Cheers.

Welcome to FC @erkanasygnale!

It depends if you value customer service and warranty. The pinnacle is a newer vape and some have problems and some don't. If you are going to rely on this vape constantly get the support you need even if it costs extra.
If you like to tinker and can service your own vapes then you might want to save the extra cash.

I'm not 100% sure but I believe Vapefiend is the one to go to in the UK. He is an approved vendor and does have the glass lined Pong.

Hi best forum on the net,

Has anyone come up with a functioning custom mouth piece for the Pinnacle Pro as of yet? This is a great vape but I'm tired of the mouth piece falling off while in my pocket and spilling herb all over. If you have something that functions well, please post a pic.

If the Pinnacle Pro had a longer battery life, faster heat up time & secure mouthpiece - it would be the best portable on the market as this thing makes the clouds.

Thanks!

 

[BarnBoy]

@TheKeeper IMHO @Sativape had the best idea to keep the standard Pong and now PGonG adapters in place by using the thumb of a rubber glove. It was the base inspiration for the BB nipple GonGs I posted. I suspect if we ask him nice enough he would show us pictures or take the time to reference his old posts. I'm too frick'n lazy...

Unfortunately folks, I will not have the time to try to make the PNP better by hacking a replaceable battery. @MileHighLife showed us how and what he did to replace them. I suspect his mod is still flying...

All - The reason for my sudden disappearance from FC is my wife was recently diagnosed with CBD. So my appearances will be a bit far and few between... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corticobasal_degeneration)
