It was BNIB. I thought the seller could have pulled a fast one and cleaned it to like-new condition, but there was even stainless steel milling debris around the holes, and it looked and smelled brand new.
Definitely true! I experimented with smaller loads, with better results, but super intermittent! One time I was like woah, I did not expect such a nice blueish cloud, and watching my girlfriend hit it looked impressive, but she's an ultra low temp vapist. I stuck to 4 or 5 on temp, doesn't seem to produce much on less than that, and it's almost painful trying to extract to get the clouds.....feels like i'm inhaling on alot of HEAT but not much VAPOUR.
It MUST be defective. I see no other alternative. If it isn't, I would be extremely disappointed in the temperature range, and I still don't see mine hitting anywhere close to 210c. If my replacement GH, or parts give me the same performance as I have now, it's simply not for me. 99.9% sure that this isn't the case, and at least i'm really hoping it isn't!
For now i've tucked it away, because using it is too frustrating. I love EVERYTHING about this vape! It IS a GAME CHANGER. Even the battery life i'm okay with now because it mainly depends on your usage pattern. If it worked the way it's supposed to, i'd be a very VERY happy vaporist!
Caroline got back to my warranty request promptly, although without action...just that "we'll get back to you shortly and tell you what to do", guess that a tech/engineer needs to look at my defect report. For now i'll have to comb the bowels of the thread for backers with similar issues. Really sounds like it could be the dial? It doesn't seem very responsive.
Is it true that GH will send you a part first before you have to send anything back? That would be awesome!
