your vendetta against this particular vaporizer
Isn't it you, having a vendetta against me, for expressing criticism you don't like/agree with? You don't seem to miss a chance to quote, and oppose me for nothing more, but voicing my opinion about the recent changes they've done. Not a propaganda where me encouraging people not to use, nor to buy it. Just getting facts right, straighten up bent ways. Pay as much as you happy with to pay, but do not justify value to your -and retailers'- favor please, as that is desinformation. Think otherwise, say it, but do not complain if someone also thinks something different. I think this vape made cheap, fit for the occasional purpose and - as it mentioned before: ok as a disposable. But now sold expensive, though providing the same value as before. And in fact, yes, many vape-makers are into profit more, than into promoting anti-combustion methods. Health comes last? You think a Grasshopper really worth its price? The Firefly 2? Or that fucking balloon blower? Crafty (with that fail ratio!!)? The Mighty? Or most - apart from those very few with care in mind and hand-crafted finish? I think not, they overpriced, exploiting a restrained market, and restricting a fair amount of people from the health benefits of vaporization, universally withholding its evolution. Competition this industry needs the most. Fenix, in its original price range was THE encouraging competition.
Without valid criticism from the public how you expect these companies to evolve? How you think they discovered about changing polyimide film heaters to ceramic? How you think they learned of "convection" method? Of the requirement of "isolated electronics/sealed airpath"? How they learned general market demand? ... Through public voice. Conversations they read on relevant forums. Wouldn't you like a clean airpath? Glass vaporpath? True convection? More affordability? Well, say it than. But not, what you see on YT by most of these "reviewers": Well, turn it on like this, use it like this, and click the link below to buy.
I am determined to promote safety and affordability of these devices - and you won't change that. Having lost one, and having battling another friend to a chronic illness, this technology is destined far more, than profitmaking exlusively. Furthermore tobacco use, smoking cessation as aromatherapy use are well within perspective, if there is a need. No need for luxury though. 3-4 and up hundreds of dollars are an obvious exploitation, period. "Expensive" was an obvious trend to start with, but now it is time to change, and get this method out to big waters.
Back on topic:
This vape cannot be cleaned thoroughly with ISO, as it is simply not been designed with that in mind. While it is safe to assume, that a damp ISO cloth can be used to clear out most stuff - it is not advised, as one loose drop can do all the damage to the insides, not to mention safety concerns having ISO trapped around a heat source. This vape does not have any material specified suitable for ISO bath, therefore to reclaim and re-use deposited resin from the vaporpath is a gamble. Though the polymer might be insoluable, the applied paint, or its solvents might not be. Of course, its fairly safe to use, and it performs quite well, but paying the price of two for one is beyond worthy.
