Haha yeah I've heard people say Y-L-L vape, but
In my mind it's illvape

How about "Y'all Vape?"Illmatic vape

now this report seems to be fleshed-out and is a good honest review. thanksFirst Impressions: I am very impressed. It’s like a more tame and refined desktop ball vape experience. The vapor is smooth, fluffy, and as many others have said, flavorful. For a first vape device, I think YLL did a fantastic job and got 80% of what vape enthusiasts want, right.
My steps to get started: I took everything apart and soaked in ISO. While everything was apart, I replaced the punched screen in the CU and WPA with a mesh screen. I did 4 burn off sessions at max temp. There is definitely a robo fart smell (almost identical to the healthyrips devices) as I was doing burnoffs and through my first few bowls, but it eventually goes away.
Pros:
Cons (nitpicky):
- Value. I love how the unit came with a case, dosing capsules and an extra glass MP (things I would have purchased separately anyway). Given that it does not come with batteries, I think the WPA should have been included.
- Great vapor through the CU. It’s not the most dense vapor, but the hits are very satisfying. The only way I would describe it is that it’s the same mouthfeel as if you were hitting a B0 dry through a J hook, but less overwhelming. I think it has the right amount of air restriction
- The unit feels sturdy overall, but I have minor gripes about the smaller parts that I will mention in the cons list
- The magnets are very strong and snaps on nicely. It’s a great loading and unloading experience
- With the WPA through water and with enough preheat (2-3 mins) of the balls, the thing RIPS
Cheers
- The battery door threads aren’t the smoothest and can be finicky since the battery is spring loaded. I worry about the longevity. It’s also tough to swap batteries out in between bowls (easier if you use the dosing caps)
- The CU is tough to navigate and take apart and the plastic that the screen attaches to isn’t the sturdiest
- The body, especially the metal ring gets pretty darn hot, but I guess it comes with the territory of a powerful session vape
- With batteries, the device is heavy, and the wood is smooth and slippery. I am nervous that if I drop it, the plastic in the body will crack
Nice! I was getting cool hits using the WPA and 18mm j hook. After a couple days with it, the tastiness seems to be fading. Either 1) it needs a good cleaning or 2) I can't tell the difference between "robot fart" and some terpenes. I'll test hypothesis 1 before jumping to hypothesis 2 though.While the inside of my unit is still breaking in I suppose, I have tried the WPA more without the second screen and coarse grind, some different coolers, try starting off at level two instead of one and bumping up sooner, through water a little too, puffing on it back to back the hits are so big though and the vapor so dense that it was very harsh for me with a lot of violent coughing, session style with a heater like this just may not be for me at all feeling like I have to keep hitting it to avoid wasting anything lol and tough on the upper levels if the low were this bad, but I did take a little bit of puffing on the WPA without anything else and I can see it is usable that way I just don't think I could do long hits... I feel like a culprit for me is also the extra silicone of the chamber o-ring being in the vapor pathway heating up as part of the chamber almost with the load, unless I pushed half inch screen on top past the o-ring, but it was still in the pathway, and furthermore I think as I said before that the steel plate even on its own is a problem for me, the way the vapor condenses on there and is hitting it, I think that was also making it much harsher for me? I could get nice flavor on the first couple hits only then it would be gone and taste unpleasant though very thick strong vapor too harsh for me with so much of it!
And so I resolved to find a way for all glass pathway stem style, even if I had to use the steel chamber, because the stock mouthpiece and stock WPA I've realized are just going to be a non-starter for me with those metal pieces more than anything else at this point... Anyway 14 mm male can fit inside the o-ring as a mouthpiece if not a stem load:
So this was my best session yet, rimmed basket screen in the 14 mm male tip although a rimless screen inside might be better (you can see in the photos at the end some of the avb remained in the basket of course it got sucked up inhaling, so I'm obviously going to try a super microdose with it now too!) although it definitely still needs some breaking in as I can taste the insides after the herbal terps fade, but the flavor was nice at first and vapor smooth throughout level two and three (then boost at the end as I could tell it was nearly done, turned it off to keep hitting it until fully done)
There you go... Always making me go get creative, lol. The Solo 2 stem fits with an o ring. All glass.Yeah I just think all the metal, the metal plate was adding harshness for me, while also stealing flavor and vapor from me?? More radiant conduction building in a session too
Hey SS try removing the camber screen and just drop a light mesh mighty type screen in there. Think about it, the halogen heats the balls, the balls are right under the thick screen plus there is metal holding the balls in too. It definitely takes a lot of the harshness away cause the bottom screen is a super hot plate when in thereYeah I just think all the metal, the metal plate was adding harshness for me, while also stealing flavor and vapor from me??

Edit: it's a bitch to get out I had to dig mine and bend it but like I said under that is super strong metal holed plate holding the balls in so you can rip that fucker out without worry
My mighty screen fell out a bit but stays in now?Oh good idea, didn't realize that "punched" screen is probably unnecessary as well, I'll try at a later time to dig that thing out haha what size mesh screen is that? I have a lot of half inch but that is just too small to stay in, I'm not sure I have the right screen exactly to fit in there securely already, I don't have any mighty screens though I do have a lot of random shit right lol still thinking of stems!
yet we have Angus with a plastic top and bottom on main body-will crack and break one day, sooner than you think.Yeah I just think all the metal, the metal plate was adding harshness for me, while also stealing flavor and vapor from me?? More radiant conduction building in a session too
I was literally just trying this with the tweezers but was afraid to fuck it up.

Oh you're talking removing the holed plate underneath the meshish screen as well?didn't realize that "punched" screen is probably unnecessary as well,
what size mesh screen is that?
Yes, aluminum top and bottom. Both TM and TM2.Does a tinymight -2 has metal top and bottom?
Oh shit.. good call, I hadnt noticed that second one. Also curious how you got it out?Hey SS try removing the camber screen and just drop a light mesh mighty type screen in there.

why not metal aluminum? Does a tinymight -2 have metal top and bottom?

The screens GVB sent me with my TM stem would fit perfectly. So probably 12mm
I took a trww tool with the flat dabber part jammed in one side and scraped over and it bent and came out. The piece under that is thick ss. No worries about fucking it upa
Oh shit.. good call, I hadnt noticed that second one. Also curious how you got it out?
You can see a piece break off top or plastic on this drop test. Watch at lease most to see the guy pick up piece(s) after the drop about 4 th dropHuh? As far as I know the plastic is extremely durable here, that's not really any concern I had expressed at all... I have misgivings about plastics in general for the mouthpiece stuff, but that's not even the source of my issues primarily... The bottom of the Angus feels very durable to me and helps it remain cool as well like the wood, the top metal parts get hotter with the session... Aluminum is sort of soft by the way but the TM talk is off topic?
No no, you see in the post above, we were talking about the screen at the bottom of the chamber (but also yes that holed plate in the mouthpiece sucks a lot imo as I was saying earlier I'm not sure if that's what you mean here?)
Oh, those are half inch screens, a little larger than 12 mm, that fit his clear stems perfectly... Yeah that's what I put in the bottom of my Angus chamber, but it falls right out... Need something slightly larger to stay put by friction fit? Although it might not get past that o-ring in the chamber...

Aaah okay I thought you and shay meant that plate lol. So that's the thing that holds the balls in place then, right?No no, you see in the post above, we were talking about the screen at the bottom of the chamber
