Cells are 700mah and the 30 mins run time is with a heater temp of 220C.

Jumping up to 1200mah 18350's would take the run-time per charge over an hour. I am looking into sourcing other cells at the moment to see if we can sort out the capacity.

@Herb-nerd do you have a link to those batteries? Please.

Frayed Knot at the moment.

There is a video with more than one hit? I can only find a video of a single hit.

Not sure how you got that I saw a video with more than one hit out of my post. The video I saw had one draw. Super thick at the beginning with no vapor towards the end of the same hit.

 

[ApparentlyStoned]

Let me find out.

I still don't have a final unit in my hands yet

Liking this post just seems cruel.


Nice to get these little tidbits of information about the unit. Even fallout 4 details came out faster though.

end of the same hit.

Gotcha. Just a misunderstanding. My apologies.

exactly how I feel about the Arizer Air ^^^^

Fifty on the air makes it worthwhile. Fourty five on the crafty makes it worthwhile. The quality of the vapor is more important. 30 isn't great but if it hits better than a pax then it's a win in my book. It's a fine line and know one knows where the sk stands on that line.
You can't compare a vape to a perfect vape, only to what is available.

For me the 30 minute run time is a deal breaker. Handling batteries too frequently gets to be a real pain-in-the-ass and my patients would be frayed say using it over something like a three month period. The battery run-time needs to be better than a mere 30 minutes for me to buy this vape. Sorry 7th Floor.

Yes but... maybe it's like the crafty that way where it extracts like a mofo, then needs a charge. Except with this one you at least have the option of swapping in a fresh battery if you don't have access to a charger.

This thing is nothing like a Crafty if we base our judgement on what we know (confirmed conduction by the engineer who helped design it) and what we have seen so far. The crafty is mostly convection with conduction going on, this is fully conduction unless you modify it with a screen to get mediocre jerry rigged convection. It's very clear to me from the videos posted so far that this is a conduction vaporizer first and foremost.

Here's the newest usage video

There is a good amount of cooking going on? I don't think it is mostly convection. Maybe the smaller crafty is different?

 

[grokit]

I'm hoping that this sidekick is a bit of both conduction and convection, like the s&b portables. Of course nobody really knows what it will be like yet, at least until it's released, but this is still my hope

 

[Herb-nerd]

More conductive heating than the crafty out of the box i can confirm.

The crafty does quite a bit to pre-heat the air before it reaches the bowl.

Have you used a Crafty ? I am kind of wondering the same. I'd say right now imo the Crafty & Mighty is the largest cloud producer in the portable department of the portables i have tried. Some like clouds and some dont. Personally i like them and my Mighty just really medicates me quickly and can make me cough and feel right very quickly. My other portables have there places but if i really want to get knocked out i will reach for my mighty.

Ya outta give the MV a try when you get the chance and it's just about pure convection (teflon core).

What's the mv?


The sk sounds like a pax with less battery but cooler and maybe better tasting vapor. I'm still interested. I'd like to see some reputable reviewers opinions before I get mine. Pretty stoked though. The only thing keeping from being anxious is the fact I might get my Zion first.

It's also almost $1000. I'm reading into a bit , thanks.

What thread is this again?

 

[ApparentlyStoned]

What is the little white thing at the bottom in the middle?
The picture with all the parts. It won't let me paste for some reason.

 

[Herb-nerd]

Top part is Aluminium also, now confirmed.

That 1 hit in the video did not look like a crafty style vapor exhale to me . But i am hoping...

I really like the water bubbler for the SK. It's on sale and looks interesting. Still $225 is more than I want to pay.

 

[tepictoton]

Just a little tip/remark: please make sure the unit does not rattle when shaken. In the video one can hear how the (I guess) turning wheel if the stirrer actually rattles a lot when the unit is moved /shaken.

I know it is just a small thing,but have noticed how in my ecigs it is one of those little annoying things that actually gets me to look for other units that do not do this. One way or the other, in my mind, the rattling sound just shouts out ' cheap' to me. Even with more expansive units, knowing they cost a lot, the rattle turns it into a cheap piece of gear in my mind.

Just my two cents...

Can you post a link for the bubbler that is $25 extra with the sidekick ? , i cannot see it anyplace on there site.
