wanted to join in as well. after seeing so many great reviews, and i like the shape as it reminds me of old sherlock bowls i used, i took the plunge and ordered last week. Shipped very fast, think ordered late thursday night, arrived monday. Work from home so when delivered they just handed to me after asking my name, no signature or proof needed.
Ordered short stem basic package, came with plastic potter plus and the drinkware. Drinkware still sitting in the box. Grinder, i am just using it to hold the potters, plus the plastic bottom comes off and can use as a lid on the part with the teeth, not a tight fit but keeps dust out. I like my bcg grinder, so i just use my scoop to put in .1 to .2.
Gave the usual quick clean and did a dry burn or two just cause, doubt needed no taste or weird smell that i noticed.
I really like the pots, simple and easy. Plus with getting a total of 5 i can use for several bowls and if looking a little clogged pull out a clean one then just clean several at one time. One suggestion, the come out with a tight fitting cap for the base holding the pots. Would be nice to load a group of them if you are going out.
Device is very slick and nice looking, good weight to the puck itself in my opinion. Very easy to operate with just two buttons, power on/off and power level, then press both together for battery check level.
As others mentioned, i have noticed it kick off between 3 to 6 seconds using the holding button method, at times. Wasn't sure why, but my best guess for me and my experience is my draw slows and this requires a consitent stronger pull, maybe heater gets to hot since it is pretty powerful, time will tell not worried on my end.
Not sure the number of bowls per charge, charged before first use but then i was topping it off each evening which prolly wasn't the best idea. Tonight plan to kill the battery then recharge.
Taste and effects are great. To me this hits like the grasshopper stainless steel i got during their sale recently, but doesn't get as warm, and will hopefully will have a better track record for longevity and service.
I ususally start at one leve, and finish at next, even if going level one then two, but mostly two then three. Stirring is not needed, but i still do cause i like the ritual. Very even abv, and can get it very dark if you like pretty easy.
Overall i really like the vape. At home vaper myself mostly, so not worried about pocketability and such, and if so other devices i can use for that. Really hope to see this device get supported and the company make any tweaks needed as they come up and/or are needed.
A++ in my book, have tried quite a few vaporizes, believe i have a total of 8 for flower, use 5, 3 will be gifted in time. Not as many as others, but enough to have tried several conduction and convection vapes.
