Thanks for the cleaning tutorial @FlyingDane ! I'm very glad that you're enjoying your Storm.
- what I noticed is that the mouthpiece screen clogs very fast. As I'm both disabled and lazy, I did not want to clean it every day. The other screens stay clean way longer, and can be cleaned once every 1 or 2 weeks (even once a month for the bottom one). I think it's because the mouthpiece screen is both higher in the airpath, and stuck to the bit of steel that must act like a heat sink, so more condensation.
- the bubbler is ridiculously cute. I finally get what all the fuss is about with vaping through water. It's so smooth it's hard to control how much you're taking in. But I'll keep it for big loads only, as I like the dry taste, and it's not really needed then.
Can you put the bubbler sideways between sessions? Not for a long time of course.
I have a bit of trouble filling it too.
Might sound stupid, but does everyone end up with water in their mouth using the bubbler mouthpiece or is mine maybe a bit mis-formed? (I don't think I'm pulling too hard?)
EDIT: Had questions regarding batteries, but as it may seem the Samsung 25R seem to work good. Anyone had bad long term experience? Is the difference of mAh between 2500 and 2900 (original) really made even by the output power?
Thanks guys!
I'd heard it was all about the titanium one, the steel one being neither use nor ornament, i thought there was a different design rather than just being a different material, could be my imagination
hi
I started vaping last year and managed to kill smoking joints all together. I did a ton of research and in the end decided just to jump straight in and go top of range and get a Crafty. All the reviews where pretty good. To be fair It was great but very soon the only lasting for 2 sessions before recharge became a pain in the butt. Esp when out in the evening etc. It then broke and whilst it was sent off to be replaced I needed a cheap alternative.
I met someone who had a storm and liked it so invested. Omg what can I say, I fricking love it!!! Much more than my Crafty for many reasons. 1) battery is awesome. I norm get 8 sessions compared to 2 on crafty. 2) the heat up time is much quicker 3) I prefer the taste and get much better clouds. 4) ability to carry a spare battery. 5) the bubbler mouth piece Sooooo awesome! 6) cleaning is much easier. I'm sure the is more but that's what comes to mind!!
I'll be selling my crafty when it get back as I love the storm sooooooo much. Didn't end up being that cheap after all tho cos I get carried away easy. I added bubbler, glass mp, spare battery, water attachement, smell proof case and sleeve lmao
The only thing that can be easily improved is to include a filling tool. Such a simple idea, I rolled a cone outta paper, place into the oven and I just pour in! Easy idea could knock something up very simple and cheap.
Thanks @VapeFiend.com you have made a beautiful product!!
Off subject has anyone else started bad snoring since vaping?! Was fine before on the joints lol but started soon as I started vaping and seems to be getting worse! Eeeeek
So I received my titanium cap and it's a big improvement over the steel one when it comes to airflow having said that it's still not quite where I would like it, for sipping its great or mouth pulls but for a deep lung inhale it's still a little restrictive (for my taste, others may vary) so I made quite a few adjustments to my steel cap to find my sweet spot, four holes starting at 5/64 size then five bits later finished at 5/32 I think this is where I'm happy but am now out of concentrates next batch should be finished tomorrow so I can give it a final test, but it feels like it now has a similar restriction to the improved MP so that should be me done.
Cap on the right is my modified steel cap.
And I'm going to have a play with some batteries, after reading the x-max recommends something quite different it's been on my mind after a little searching through draws I found quite a few of the usual suspects including the Samsung 25r (x-max recommended I think?) personally I don't thing high amps are needed and I think I will find its a bit of a waste of time but it's in my head now so it's out of my control im just a passenger along for the ride the batteries range from 2200mAh to 3200mAh and are a mix of A ratings, to keep things as comparable as I can I plan on doing almost like a burn off (remove MP set to green and start a session (till auto cutoff) and count the session on each battery.
This makes perfect sense both from a spillage point of view and also the way e-liquids hit with this kind of delivery system, I do keep a bottle of e-liquid in my case now (just for added stealth) but had never thought to try it in the storm itself, probably never will though as I'm happy with my current coil/wick setup on my subox mini (50W) and I don't think the storm could perform anywhere close to this for e-liquid for my usage (and I wouldn't expect it to either as its a completely different beast)
Still really liking the storm, it's been put through the its paces while working on my cousins house (seems like a never ending project ) mixed with a Vapman (to cover charge time) it has kept all five of us very happy while working it's simple enough that anyone can pick it up and get good results, and sturdy enough that I don't mind others using it.
I'm sure if the storm can put up with this environment (and this is the good side of the room ) and four other heavy handed tradesmen using it it can be classed as rugged enough for use anywhere, as long as you can remember where you put it down but find the storm was a good game
This was the post back on page 2 that put that in my head about the titanium one being better, it seems, from looking on Vapefiend site, that both the titanium and stainless are now designed similair so this is probably not applicable to you?
I've always mixed the odd bit of concentrate with my greenery, never just by itself, sorry i cannot be of any help, you are right on it being spot on for herb tho, i've used it on the daily for well over a year now, i'm well over tobacco
Herb only dude.
No mate misunderstood. I was answering the above saying I only smoke herb in mine.Ok i haven't seen that one post before i bought it...I'm a bit disapointed as a longterm VF customer...i bought the storm BECAUSE of the concentrates vaporizing capability, so it's kind of a problem while it's not working at all for this...
i'm sorry but it's being sold with this mention (first description sentence on VF website) :
Storm Vaporizer Pen is a high-quality, simple to use and well built portable vaporizer for herbs, resins and oils. We sell the latest version, with improved airflow.
So ?
i'm sorry this vaporizer might be great, BUT you just can't say it's a vaporizer for herbs, resins and oils...
VF doesn't want to hear my question, i'm a little bit confused now...
anyway cheers guys for your help
