Howzit everyone. I caved and bought a pivot and extra chambers from vgoodiez. I ordered late night on 10/28, shipped out the next day (10/29), and USPS delivered from East coast to Hawaii in 2 days (10/31). Outstanding service from both parties.
I have a quartz banger setup, but because I only vape outdoors, it’s a bit of a hassle to carry everything outside, dab, clean, and then wait for everything to cool so I can put it away. And I definitely don’t want my neighbors to see me constantly torching a rig. So I’ve been using rayon to dab in my tempest. Works great, but not ideal.
Pivot works great imo. The silicone mp does a great job at cooling the vapor. I’ve been using white as I like to get as much as I can in 1/2 hits. But even on white, it feels like I have to extend the session to get it all. I tried boost mode on white, and coughed my lungs out. I then put a 3mm zirc ball (from my tempest) in the chamber and LOVE it. You can easily finish the load well before it times out. A quick cotton swab and done.
I’ll probably have to look into getting an aftermarket wpa, but it’s a no go if it doesn’t spin the ball in the chamber.
Battery kinda sucks, but not a dealbreaker. On white, with no boost mode, I got 6 bowls before pivot warned me of the low battery. Then squeezed one more bowl in before charging. 7 dabs is plenty enough for me when out and about.
Truly happy with my purchase.
