POTV Lobo

[fogbank]

Thanks to the folks who provided feedback on the smell during heating. I believe I will pull the trigger on the Lobo! It will be the first vape I've purchased in years

Does your Lobo ever make a sort of "ticking" sound? I assume it has something to do with the PID, and keeping the oven at temp. I only notice it when my environment is very quiet. Just want to make sure it's not a sign that something is wrong with the unit.

Definitely ticks. I figured it was the heater. Several of my vapes do the same thing and it's okay.

How do you get the metal screen out of the plastic part under the glass tube? I'd like to give it an iso soak and clean it.

When I've tried pushing on the screen from either side, it feels like if I put any more pressure on it, I may break the screen, but it's not popping out.

yup, had the same problem. try to push it from the inside with a long toothpick or a pen. being gentle is quite tricky but even if you bend the screen a little, it's easy enough to straighten it out again.

hopefully in the next device there will be a better way to do it.

there's a good YouTube short for it, search for "cleaning the lobo"

I found a video of Jerry doing it. He suggested a q-tip, and it look like it popped out easily. I'm about to try it. Is it going to be hard to get the screen back in? Any suggestions?

Edit: Since posting this, I used the qtip. Super easy. For putting it back in, I used the flat end of the back of a pen and it went in pretty easilly.

Glad to read you managed it easily for me it's a design flaw compared to the Rogue series, especially since I lost a screen after bending it too much. no biggie because I leared from the mistake and got a spare

the Lobo is a good device so every little imperfection is noticeable.

If you use capsules only, saw in a video where that little screen can be removed and saved, did that day one. Lobo's only cleaning weak point IMO is accumulation where the capsule top touches. The capsule can stick to the top. Found cleaning right after use while hot gets out the buildup best. If cold, use a toothpick. Dental pick can scratch.

Can anyone compare their experience with the Lobo compared to the POTV one

There is a rule against comparing vapes in a dedicated to one vape, thread. If you search, there may be a specific thread comparing them. If not, you can post in the "Ask FC" section, and people will answer there.

Did not know, thank you

To remove I just shove it out with a wood handled Q-tip thing or a dab tool. To put it back it, I haven’t found anything that works better that the plain scoop style cheapy dab tools.

No WPA? I found that the Lobo's globe stem, reversed, makes a fit in an existing silicone bong. Works.

My new POTV Lobo is shown here for the first time

I had this Ash Catcher sitting around since i rarely use it to smoke. So i decided to pair it with a new J hook to make a new smoking apparatus.

& after a sesh we visited the Tomatoes

so imagine if your entire bong was just one big Perc. Yes this is it bong!

 

[Flotsam]

In the interest of NOT smoking i took this old pre-roll & put it in the Lobo to use it up.

NOTE to self: Do not try and use a pre-roll in a vape. It doesn't even want to stay in a dosing capsule. It is too fine a grind

Everybody gets the green Lobo, it's interesting. They are durable units for sure.

I occasionally get a penny pre roll with other purchases, and I never had an issue like this when vaping one. I think the “trick” is to pack it down a little, then it seems to stay together. That said, you may have had a particularly finely ground pre roll.

Found a way to repurpose a Vong tube. With the mouthpiece it won't fit, luckily there's Levated and Futo.

Also, the spiral glass stem from the Vaphit QOQ fits the Lobo quite nicely.

I've taken to carrying the Lobo without a stem installed. The spiral glass from the QOQ rides nicely in this little doob tube container I have. And I stick the rubber plug from the plastic dosing caps package in the mouthpiece hole of the Lobo to conceal smell. All very low profile in a pocket.

Clever idea!

I hadn't heard of any spiral glass for it. Do you have a link?
The only downside I feel about the Lobo is that it can be more harsh on my throat and lungs than some other vapes I have. Do you notice a big reduction in that with the spiral glass?

I'm not sure whether you can buy that Vaphit QOQ kit spiral glass stem alacart, but there's a whole universe of 12mm diameter 75mm long glass stems with cooling nipples, etc. I'd bet those would cool vapor about as well as the spiral, which works very well.

Where the spiral excels is in catching bits of flower that find their way out of the dosing capsule. No scoobies.

I haven't tried the dosing cap yet. Do you not use the screen above the bowl when you use the dosing cap? I haven't noticed anything getting through the screen.
