Discontinued Pinnacle Pro

Hi Mates. What's you experience with usps delivery? I've ordered from yoyo dude and since 7th I got no updates about my parcel: it was still in california at that time. He's not answering so I thought I'll ask you. Now I think vapefiend was a better choice.

@erkanasygnale
considering you seem to be in europe... i 'd say delivery took more than a week and less than two weeks, for me... each and every time of the 3-4 times i ve orderd from yoyokid so far.

once, i ordered a 14 to 18 adapter from yoyokid and a lotus from vapefiend the same day, and the adapter came one day earlier than the lotus

no tracking though... same as u...

I ordered mine off ebay from yellowdogcompany last wednesday and picked it up today, was shipped with USPS and I live in Sweden.
Only used it once but I'm in love and would definitely marry this if it was legally possible

How do you get it out of the stems? And what do you do to it once it hits the pyrex

By using 99% ISO.

If you're not in any rush, you can give your stems an overnight ISO 'bath'. I use a drinking glass for bathing purposes. Obviously, you need to use enough ISO to cover the stems. You can go with half full if you don't mind flipping the stems at some point.

A faster method involves placing your stems into a zip-lock bag, pouring some ISO in, then shaking the bag vigorously (whilst holding onto the stems through the bag) until the glass is clean. Don't forget to zip the bag closed first though!

Remove the stems from the bag or bath ang give them a good rinse with warm water. The ISO/reclaim solution can be poured into a container (I prefer glass) to start the evaporation process. When the ISO has completely evaporated, you're left with your reclaim.

My friend's method is also pretty fast. He sprays 99% ISO directly onto/into his stems using a small spray bottle (like the one in the photos I posted recently on this thread). He uses his finger to block one hole, sprays some ISO into the other hole, then blocks that hole with his finger, shakes the stem around for a short time and then dumps the ISO into a large glass dish. He does this a couple of times for each stem. The dish also acts as a drip-catcher whilst spraying/shaking. This only takes a few minutes and works really well. It doesn't get the stems 100% clean, but near enough for me. The spray bottle is also useful for consolidating the reclaim into one corner of the dish. You can tilt the dish to keep the reclaim in one area. Directing a small electric fan towards it will speed up the evaporation process. The reclaim from 2 PGonG chambers and 2 Solo stems was ready to vape in less than 12 hours using this method.

It's 'free', tasty, potent and adds a new dimension to sessions. The reclaim/kief/bud combo in the PnP on 4 gets me very medicated. I also find the reclaim process to be extremely satisfying. Therapeutic even.


@BarnBoy Thanks for the heads-up on the battery! Keep us posted when you can!

 

[Level 3 is 420!]

Hey, first time poster. Wanted to share a tip and talk about my experience so far with the PP.

Got the DLX pkg with the hydrotube - only way to go imo, especially for home use. I researched portable vapes extensively and am 100% thrilled with the unit. The only issue I had was that the hydrotube fell over on my glass table and the bottom part of the inside tube at the bottom broke, but it still works as long as it's kept pretty straight up when using. I'll replace it when I can.

I start at level 2 (level 1 doesn't offer much in the cloud dept) and finish at level 3, which by my name shows that the temp is 420, poetically epic. I don't ever recommend going higher than 3 if only using herbs or flowers. You're actually getting a little burn over 400 degrees so only use to finish.

I was excited about the new Gpong (new mouthpiece with the glass cylinder inside). Ordered one immediately on ebay from yoyokid for $19.99 and it's incredible. Glad to not worry about the bottom of the orig plastic mouthpiece being right up against the hot edge of the bullet. Part of the reason I was looking forward to the new Gpong was that the screen in my pong was pretty clogged and cleaning it wasn't easy so the flow was restricted. Eventually, the screen that came with the new Gpong was clogging up. I went to a local head shop to see if they have screens that fit, but no luck. But they did give me a bunch of screens to try. After having a tough time trying to make them fit, I realized that the standard size screen fits perfectly inside the vape over the bullet. Putting a screenless new gpong on the unit holds the screen right in place with fantastic results. (This should also work with the orig pong...)

When alone, I pack half a bullet. Minor issue is having to take off the mouthpiece and mix up the stuff, scraping some of it off the screen and pushing it back down. Then I thought about trying to place the smaller screen they gave me inside the bullet about halfway down. It needed to be pushed in a bit with the wood tool but this is now a killer way of vaping. This eliminates a few problems about the herbs getting sucked up on the screen. You would have to interrupt your session to open it up to push the herbs back down. When they're up against the screen, they're not heating up and getting vaped and they're also blocking the flow. Now I get huge clouds because the small screen inside the bullet is keeping it all dense together. I don't have to waste time dealing with mixing and scraping. And the larger screen that's sitting over the bullet will never get dirty or clogged because the smaller screen isn't letting anything come up against it. It's awesome! I'll have to get a few more of the smaller screens because they will start to get gunky eventually.

Just wanted to share this tip. The vape will always be free flowing and easy to pull this way.

Happy Vaping...

Great tips. I've been doing the same thing with the extra screens in the bullet and it helps keep my PnP very clean. I have to ask though. Why do you want to replace the screens? I just take them out, clean them by soaking them in ISO. alcohol until they look like new and put them back in. Enjoy your new toy!

This is just easier now and will also help to keep the gpong like new with it never actually touching the bullet. Only the smaller screen that i place inside the bullet will have to be cleaned but it will prob take a while.

I ordered from theyoyokid1 on eBay and got my item the NEXT DAY via USPS. I'm in CA, and so is the seller, so it went fast... But no problems with USPS on my order.

Great tips. I, too, have been using a small screen in the bullet from the beginning. It does prevent pieces from flying up into the MP/PonG/GPonG screen but resin will still build up on it. I clean gunk off mine each use.

Another little tip is to put a bit of organic cotton at the very bottom of your bullet...just enough to fill the screened portion...then put your herbs in. No resin leakage through the screen. My oven bottom is still snow white.

I actually finish herbs off on Level 4 dry. Not for everyone, but my ABV comes out dark chocolate brown, never black. Have the water tool but never use it...should start again...

Anyhow, enjoy your new unit! I love mine too.

Still waiting for an email from VB regarding battery replacement. Shot a very nice email to them on Wednedsasay. You get further with honey than vinegar. No response yet.

I have never mentioned I am an FC member in all my emails.

Doesnt using all these screens make the draw resistance suck

Perhaps a bit, but not enough to prevent getting LOTS of vapor with ease. For me, anyway. Not much restriction at all...and I use the MP, not the PonG.

 

[Lahey]

Got my GPonG from yoyokid this week, and I'm really pleased with it. It seems to snap in to place much better than my PonG ever did. Since I bought my PNP DLX package from him on eBay, he was able to exchange it for my PES PonG. All I had to pay was shipping to send him my PonG, and he also asked that I included a copy of the PayPal invoice from my PNP DLX purchase.

 

[SiDankies]

Glad to see people are enjoying this baby as much as i have.

If you stay under the 5 setting and clean everything regularly you should be fine, just make sure to get the Gpong.

Doesnt using all these screens make the draw resistance suck

When I first started expiermenting with cotton I ran into resistance problems. I was just using way to much cotton. Now with the Gpong I slide the screen up about half way and put thin web of cotton in there to catch the oil. After about a week I'll take the oil soaked cotton, put it between two layers of herb in a bullet and enjoy the everlasting vapor. As far the screens I honestly couldn't say I notice any difference in draw resistance but that's because I've never used my PnP without a screen in the bullet. However I can say that with the screen in the bullet and the Gpong screen with a little web of cotton I still get great results and my PnP stays very clean with minimal maintenance. I've found that as long as I take care of my PnP it will take care of me.
EDIT: Has anyone else noticed that @TherealVaporblunt "last seen on the forum date" has changed from March 31st to June 4th. Maybe he wanted to say something and got cold feet.

Hey guys, I've done searches and I can't seem to find a answer to this even though it seems like something that must have been answered or talked about before.

Is there a local place I can buy replacement O-Rings for my Gpong? While I am very pleased with the Gpong, not even a week into using it the O-Ring has busted. I hadn't pulled out the glass sleeve even once.

I read on here somewhere that mine was suposed to come with a replacement oring, but it did not. So would this be carried at a home depot or something similar? I know I need the high heat rings.

I went to vaporblunts site but it's been closed at least since last night for some kind of updates it says.

I went and looked at Tokyokid to see if this is something he sells, but I didn't see anything was just rings. Just more mouthpieces.

Been trying to find this out since last night so I'd really appreciate a heads up. Thnx in advance.

I found my replacement O-rings at Ace hardware. They have a very good selection. Take the glass insert with you for size reference.

Thnx Vapehunter, unfortunately I live in a rural area and our ace hardware is about the size of a Mcdonalds bldg. lol. They had almost nothing at this one. I think I'm just going to go online.

Does anyone know the exact size or model number I need to look for? It can be hard to judge size from a online pic. I know I need ones that are labeled High Temp O-Rings.

 

[SiDankies]

Hope my ORing doesnt snap that would be a major issue because i would have no clue where to get a replacement

 

[Weez65]

Yeah I really can't belive mine did so quickly. lol. Not even a week and I hadn't fiddled with it at all.

So yeah, now that's where I'm at. ^. Trying to figure out where to get them. I keep checking their sight but its been down for about 24 hours straight that I know of. Says they are updating.

I like this thing a lot. I have the dlx and all that. But since I have bought it, I've had the first unit show up to my door dead on arrival. When I got it back my mouth piece started melting inside of 2 weeks even though I used it on 2 almost exclusively with an occasional foray into lvl 3. Now I get the Gpong and was VERY pleased with it...for two days. lol.

Not trying to be a downer, but even though I really do like this thing, I'm glad I have my solo and pax as backups. Just seems a bit flaky.

Now back to this freaking o-ring search.
