Discontinued Pinnacle Pro

[Dudefromma]

Interesting development with my Pro. I had the red flashing light, wont charge issue. VaporBlunt was very good about dealing with the issue and set me up to return the device. On a whim I decided to try recharging one more time and it worked just fine. I contacted VB who advised me to hold on to the return ticket as it was good for 30 days. Its been a few weeks now, Ive used it everyday since and its worked perfectly. Im hoping it was a fluke kind of issue as my PNP has become my go to portable. I was out flying my radio controlled quad copter today at a local park and no one there even noticed my PNP. Love the stealth aspect of the Pro!

Man I'm actually having the same problem right now.. My PnP worked as normal yesterday during the day, tried to fire it up last night and the LED blinks for maybe 30 seconds before I get the red lights and it turns itself off, even if it's plugged in. Does anyone have any suggestions before I get in touch with theyoyokid1? Thanks! I'm going to be lost without my PnP and my medicine

Mine did the same thing, I had one light show, it worked and then it's stopped getting hot and gives out with red lights before heating, I still need to send mine to yoyo, might get a refund, and a solo

Yes, that's right @lookhigh . It was $13 + $10 shipping to the UK. I will replace it myself, a 5min job apparently.

1. Remove the plastic lens surrounding the leds and button, just flips out.
2. Depress the tabs by the upper air holes, and the internals will slide out.
3. Remove the small screws holding the "top" piece in place.
4. Replace top piece, and screw in place.
5. Slide the internals back in to the case, make sure the tabs locate in the holes.
6. Replace plastic lens.

That's it! (Please correct me if any of this is wrong guys!)

@theyoyokid1 is a trusted seller, very quick response and turnaround. Within 15mins of paying (Paypal) I received a tracking number! I have read this whole thread and I have not seen a single complaint about him. TRVB could learn a lot from him about customer service!

I suspect VB are "employing" the yoyokid to sort out these issues with the "top" piece and PonG's as they can't be arsed with it. They seemed to have stopped posting in this thread.

Can't wait to get my new "top" piece and PGonG!

Combusting is dead, vaping is the future, the future is now!

@GeekVape,

Any chance you could load some pics up on here to go along with each step of the disassembly?

Yeah I know what you mean.. I actually finally saw a solo at a local shop a few weeks ago and it is smaller than I expected from seeing pictures online but it's still a lot bigger than the PnP.

I emailed Theyoyokid1 this morning and he got back to me within the hour, told me to send him my unit and he would check it out/replace it if needed. Yet another reason to buy through him on eBay.

Anyone have any advice or recommendations as to the easiest and least messiest way of loading the flowers bullets? I'm usually pretty resourceful but have been stumped in coming up with an efficient and quick way to load up the bullets. I have my herb ground up to keef-like consistency, but still annoying to get it into the little bullets.

Thanks.

What I do is keep my pre grinded herbs for the day in a pill bottle and put some into the cap of the bottle and scoop it. Then just dump the extras back into the bottle

I use one of those "doob tubes" with ground up herb in it. Pretty easy to pour into almost any size container, even the small bullets

[rshetts]

I have a small coffee grinder to grind my herb,once its nicely ground, its easy to load the bullets using the wooden scoop tool provided in the pro kit. I have the six pack bullet holder which is very convenient to have. I load all the bullets and Im good to go.

 

[MuushuPork]

Easiest way is to just grind and scoop, but you can also use a 6" piece of tubing (like the whip on the buddha) stick the bullet in one end and suck the meds into the bullet like a vacuum.

Yeah, no probs @Sativape , but it will probably be around 10 days before I receive my "top" piece as I live in the UK.

I use a piece of plastic folded at 90 degrees (from a disposable microwaveable food container). I crumble my meds (hash mainly, but flowers work too) onto it, and pour it into the bullet, tapping the bullet as I go to evenly distribute it. I take care not to pack it down too tight.

@GeekVape,

[ABIDDAR]

I pre-grind with the MFLB finishing grinder and then pour some onto a Post-It note that is folded in half. Fold the note a bit to wrap it around the material. Up-end the note carefully!with the bottom of the fold (the V) positioned just inside the bullet. If it is ground nicely, it slides in fast and clean.

 

[CarolKing]

I grind my herb and leave it in the grinder and I scoop it up with the bullet. Usually I grind to a cornmeal consistency. I tap it a couple times, then I scoop again. I don't pack it. My preference is to use a bit of cotton on the end of my bullet to keep the herb in. It works for a bit of insulation too.

Then I put the bullet in the chamber of the Pnp, turn the unit on to level 1, take a few draws after it's heated up, then I go to level 2. Towards the end of the my second session I go to heat level 3.
I usually get two 8 min sessions to a bullet, sometimes, depending on the product, I can get three. This unit is real easy on the herb.

If I'm using the WT I go to heat level 3.
My ABV gets pretty dark. Not much left after for edibles after that.
That's what I do, sometimes it comes down to personal preference.

Two 8 minutes sessions off a single bullet? Wow. My ABV is pretty brown and crispy after 12-15 draws (setting 2 all the way through).

 

[lookhigh]

To grind or not to grind..... I use crumbled up by hand and add a chunk on top so nothing can spill out of the bullet. I stopped grinding as there don't seem to be any less extraction that way. If the herb is not fully crumbly dry i roll it up in a tube shape and push into the bullet. My space case grinder is clean and unused lately.

Wow. I get 1 session at Level 3 and a further 1 1/2 sessions on level 4 dry with one bullet...about 20 minutes total in many cases. I do use exceptional herb and milk every last drop...

Interesting. Mine also gets very hot around the chamber. Hot enough that I couldn't/wouldn't hold it there. Is that normal?

Yes, it can get quite toasty at the top. Normal, IMO. It's a little beast!

 

[CarolKing]

I have a friend and he has huge lung capacity, whereas I don't. This guy takes really deep draws. He cannot get 2 full sessions out of a bullet. He can get about just 1 - 8 min session using my unit. He was using the same herb that I had. It really depends on how hard you draw too.

Looks like the mass produced pgong is not ready yet....

The picture they sent was just a glass piece to sit on the pinnacle with no support.

 

[hangthedj]

Just wanna say thanks to this thread, I was waiting to be able to buy a glass-lined piece and just did. Hope a glass-lined mouthpiece is coming soon too.

Thats weird, I bought one on ebay. Official packaging and all. From their authorized seller. Works great to! Those guys are silly!!

 

[CarolKing]

I was curious if VB was selling the glass lined pongs and mouthpieces and shot them an email yesterday morning. I haven't gotten any response yet. I guess Ratm22 answered my question. I wasn't going to buy from them, I just wanted to know. I thought maybe they hadn't updated their website.
