ANGUS has landed!
Big thanks to
Soothing Vapors for my order with a WPA.
@Grover was very quick to answer questions after hours and ship my order out the next morning.
Initial impressions:
The Angus is a good looking device. The top and bottom look and feel surprisingly nice for plastic, and with the shiny metal line and wood body, it all comes together nicely. Under OCD level examination the edges are not perfectly flush but that's minor. I love the knot on my device, wood always has personality.
To clean, I did a quick ISO rinse and then water flush of all parts (no grease observed by my naked eye). Watch those magnets though, I picked a couple teeny metal fibers off mine.
I did 2 burnoffs at max temp for good measure and then had 2 back to back sessions with the WPA. A lot of my 18mm male stems won't fit for some reason but I really enjoyed the Elev8r stem (thanks for the reminder
@BingsBuddery ) and later my Lamart bent neck.
I thought I read a comment about having to time the three button presses more slowly to turn the vape on, but I have no issues. I have to literally play Tekken on the side of the Angus to outsmart the internal circuitry. It's a very simple and straightforward device to operate imo.
I like the case and the included accessories, they'll keep me going for quite a while. The WPA is a must imo but I feel that way about WPA's in general.
I need more time to judge the flavor but so far with the 2 setups above it was good. A halogen heater has a different signature I'm sure, and I wonder how hot the bowl gets i.e. conduction heating. With so many variables, I'll need to do more testing
. I'll try out the cooling unit at some point and report back but I'd rather get rid of it all like that sweet setup
@Unklmark68 has. The Angus looks so damn good under the hood anyways; I want to expose those shiny battery knobs and top in all their glory.
