The BHOLT vaporizer

Did you also pickup the 5-pack of atomizers? These raise the cost. bholt reckons they "... last about a month and a half if maintained..." Is this a pretty typical lifespan for this tech? It seems I have to get my head around the idea of operating costs of these pens.


Pretty sure it's only a 4 pack, but no I didn't yet. I wanted to try it all out first and if I like it, then for sure I'll buy the 4 pack of atomizers :) Just waiting to get a shipping/tracking email to know when this BHOLT should arrive atm.

im tempted to pour a small bit of Ethanol into a small jar and submerge the atty, upside down, until just over the coil... would that be ok?

Whats the Bholt answer to this? I like the idea of iso cleaning as well.

Where is my Bohlt??, I'm disapointed because I thought that it could be at home today, tomorow it's not possible because it's a vacation day. I'm afraid that my Bohlt was lost by post...
I done some bho and qwisostyle experiments (with fresh buds, kief and abv) and now I'm waiting for my Bohlt...

Mine was shipped on the 9th (international to Canada at $30 fee), yet only still shows tracking at Medford, OR.

Bummer slow movement updates of shipping considering the cost for it.

Mine was shipped on the 10th Via Priority Mail International to Canada for $25. My tracking info is also still showing Medford, OR. I'm in Ontario, just curious as to why you had to pay $30? I also looked on USPS's website and it's $19.95 for their small flat rate box, and $40 for their medium flat rate box to Canada so i'm assuming their using the small box. Why are we being charged more than $20? This shipping is also estimated at 6-10 days to Canada.

So let me get back to another mini review of this device. After spending some time with it I a few things that I want to state about the device.

They attys are handmade or require some sort of assembly therefore they are not perfect. This causes slight problems and the biggest problem I think with this is that oil gets all over the sides. Out of the 3 attys I used (2 of them no longer work) the third is by far the worst of the three but it still works, so its now the best I guess, haha.

First one, gong joint was glued on a huge angle touching the wall, atty was defective, and light flickered. I got this one to work for a few seconds at a time but it really wouldnt work right. I took this one apart (pulled the gong off) to see if I could fix it at all. I didnt really fix it, but I cold get it to work here and there. Very finicky but I could take a hit if I really tried. Not worth all the effort. I think since it doesnt work Im willing to do an ISO soak to see if I can clean it and get it to semi work again. I have a feeling it would break it more, but well see. I can also take a picture of insides if anyone is interested?

Second one I used and didnt even get a full g through it before it just stopped heating up all the way and started giving wispy hits. I tried getting an answer about this from BHOLT but I'm still waiting to hear back from this. This atty however was the best looking of the three, it was centered perfectly and had a short wick. I know I didnt put much oil through it, but it had almost no oil on the walls of the gong.

Now the third one, this one is still working, I have put around g through it so far, maybe a little more, but half the oil just runs down the side of the GONG since it is so poorly aligned. Again I understand these are being glued together by hand, but this is a pretty big problem to me. If the ceramic cup/wick is touching the gong it will cause the oil to cling to the wall and run down. I mean its not the end of the world or anything, but I do notice a lot of oil running down now.

Another thing about the device is that the GONG joints are so rough/jagged/cracked. All this really takes is some sanding down to make this pretty looking and smooth to the touch, or you can get really fancy and blast it with a torch. I think this wold just take that extra step. May take a little bit longer but I would be much happier with the final product.

The plus side is that its really easy to load and the flavor is quite good since you are always loading a fresh dab. Be careful not to overload as splattering or dripping on the wall of the gong will happen. As much as I see the flaws in the device I have been using it quite a bit lately. Still enjoying it a lot :D

Is the oil in the GonG due to it "sputtering" from being heated, or from being used upside down, or from capillary action (oil "pulling" more oil away), @gvape?

Well I personally think its due to the ceramic cup/wick being pressed against the gong. Therefore the wick just pulls it outward. I actually think that hitting it upside down helps it go back to the top and the wick sucks some of it back up. I can still hit it even when the center is out of oil I just get half hits since the whole wick isnt covered. I only notice it sputter a little out if you pack the top ceramic cup full and no airflow is allowed. Then once it heats the oil up a little hole pops open and it splatters a bit. Does all that make sense?

I am in the same boat as you.
I assume the extra 5 is for handling/packing peanuts/bubble wrap/packaging whatever, thats not a big deal.
I called USPS and they said since it has 10 days max, we must wait, after that we can have the sender investigate what happened.
But if you look for some reason today they showed up one state south, maybe thats where direct flights for USPS go... who knows. Hopefully it will be in Canada tonight/tomorrow and we'll have it by next week :D

Anyways, I hope it gets to us soon, I cant wait to try this thing out!
I would also like to know if ISO can be used to clean the atomizers....

oh and any word on that cleaning video? im tempted to pour a small bit of Ethanol into a small jar and submerge the atty, upside down, until just over the coil... would that be ok?


I dunno if I would advise that since your wick is going to be soaked in iso as well, so after you reclaim your wick will have leftover iso in it. you could try and do some dry warmups with it to evaporate the iso, but even after that I wouldn't doubt it if you had a nasty iso taste after you did it, even with a dry burn.

I haven't received mine yet, but I bet you could put a couple drops of iso on a q-tip and clean up the outer area though? or clean off with organic cotton and iso and vape it up later :)

So anybody got any replies to mails the past two days? Am asking here because I did not get a reply yet to my mails send two days ago. Wondering if they are out of town?

Ordered and paid for an extra set of atty's, hopefully I hear back from BHOLT soonish about this.

Fourth day, still going strong...Everybody that tried this little one was amazed...So if some of you are still doubting, don't. I have definately put my nail to rest for now.

I get my Bohlt(mini, review) today and I'm just doing a first try, is coming without user guide, after a try or 2 i find that I need to push power button 5 times quickly to unlock it and I have problems to screw the atomizer at the first try it wasn't screw enough and atomizer don't work, but when I find how to screw it it start to work perfect.
I put into some of pure gold and get mega clouds quickly(really, really quick), I try it with the Bolht glass tube(a little bit harsher), the Cloud dry mouthpiece and a weed star bubbler(upside down) .
The airflow is really difficult when I use it upside down with my bubbler, I don't understand what???

I'm really stone and I took only 6 draws.... I'll tell you more after more tries.

I think they might be heading up to Hempfest in Seattle... that's this weekend. A lot of vendors are probably heading there.

In my opinion this thing is ugly, battery , atomizer and glass tube are misaligned , but the most interesting part is the vaporization and I can tell you that it make the job!, I don't know for the taste because I use pure gold made from reclaim, qwiso (ethanol extraction) and bho from hash and abv, and all of them don't taste really good (I never try shatter, budder or co2 extraction but I plan to do better bho with all my littles leaves on my bud).
I never try a nail so I can't compare, but for my needs the Bohlt is enough, I like concentrate but I prefer buds...

As of 8:13pm last night my Bholt was processed through the sort facility in LA. This shipping is very slow moving ... I definitely recommend that Bholt gives the expedite shipping option (3-5 VS 6-10) to people that want faster shipping. I sure would have paid the extra $20, the anticipation to try this is just to much!

Ya, not too impressed with the shipping cost for priority parcel taking 5 days to only just now to process in LA from Oregon, when a larger box I received from JARZ for much less shipped on the same day was in my hands yesterday ! :hmm:
