It is a good thing 7th floor is letting everyone return them in a certain time frame if they are not happy ...
I forgot about that...good point!

Will not post in this thread any longer unless the Sidekick all of a sudden becomes a respectable flower vape. That would give me something to talk about. Otherwise, good luck and goodbye Sidekickers!
If it works better without the two main selling points (the cooling rod and the stir gizmo) aside from removable batteries (with the trade off of short runtime) what does this offer that one of the many other Chinese produced vapes on the market like the Flowermate Pro series already do for half the price?
How was the vapor production? Was there more of it with the cooling rod removed and tighter pack? Did it affect the temperature of the vapor at all or make it harsher?
Sounds like this vape manages to defy physics.Vapor production was fine. Inline with my other portables. The temperature was noticeably warmer without the cooling rod. (expected) It felt harsher, and I choked a bit on my second hit.
My main problem is still that it consumed .24 grams of material for 2.5 normal sized hits. That amount should have been plenty for 6-8 decent hits from all of my other vapes, except the PAX2.
I know you usually to get to know a vape before a review but I'd really like to hear your first impression tonight.Gonna fire mine up when the lady gets home. If most units work like @Verax is reporting, then there must be a defect somewhere.

First session on 8 the whole time. vapor was very tasty on the first two hits and got progressively spent from there. I got about 8 to 10 hits, of which about half were satisfying and impressive. Very comfortable vapor throughout. The cooling system does its job. i stirred it and gave it several seconds to create vapor
after each hit. I kept hitting it until the 7 minute timer shut it off, which was two hits too long in my book. i dumped the load and it was dark coffee brown. i will use the bubbler next, but I don't see the need for it as the stock design cools wonderfully.
What temp are you using? Draw speed? Time between hits?
That seems like it could be your issue there Verax. I think too much airflow in there would cause excessive burning. Did you get better results last night? My Sidekick just arrived today so I won't get to try it out until tonight (my awesome wife has already got the batteries on the charger for me), so I will find out for myself really soon. I love my DaBuddha, and really hope the Sidekick lives up to the high expectations I have from the crew at 7th floor.Well, I think I found at least part of my problem. The air path seal had come loose at some point. (I made it more obvious for the picture, but in the unit, it was hard to notice.) The thin metal insert had come out of it's groove, and left a very tiny air path.
I can't imagine that would help a sub 2 minute session charring a full .24 gram bowl; but I'm sure it will help get much better extraction!
I can't wait to get it on this evening.
My screen is completely gunked up now and it look like I will have to clean it soon.
