I have now used the Pinnacle for over 10 "bullets" now and I wanted to give a review.
My experience with vaporizers is with the MFLB, Palm 2.0, and Thermovape Revolution. I had real reservations about this unit as I just couldn't get a decent Vape from the Thermo without burning my hand. Boy was I wrong. I am really enjoying the Pinnacle.
The bullet system is ingenious. You're not spilling all over the machine, trying to fill it up. I pour a little in my hand (ground up slightly larger than sugar) and scoop up with the bullet. I use the end of the brush to press it down slightly if it's fluffy, and fill to the bottom of the fluted end of the bullet. I use the high setting, and give it one minute after the light goes solid. Long slow inhales. No stirring! I just give it a tap or two in the middle of a session, maybe it's just muscle memory from my MFLB, it might not even need it. I get about 6 big draws, and a few others before it gets harsh and I know we're about done.
I'm not producing big clouds like I can with the MFLB, but I think that's because the box is getting so hot it's slightly combusting. I am seeing visible vapour from the Pinnacle and the bullet empties out a nice even medium brown with no dark spots. The taste is very strong and diminishes and changes slightly towards the end. I use the unit 3 times and then recharge, even though that I believe that there is enough battery life for a 4th go-round.
It is incredibly easy to clean. Since the vaporization is so even, there is no resin left over in the chamber. The bullets empty out easily and the small particles that are left can be removed by blowing on the screen end, or with the included pipe cleaner. I have not seen any particles in the heating chamber but if there were, the brush or pipe cleaner would work. Some material gets caught on the mouthpiece screen, but a couple of brush strokes works there too. I can see a little resin building up where the screen is inserted and in the folds of the mouthpiece, but a pipe cleaner would easily work there too. It really is effortless.
I was thinking about waiting for the ascent before I got this unit, but I really can't imagine I would want anything more out of a vaporizer. The Pinnacle is a great unit, doesn't smell like my MFLB, it's stealthy, I got mine for $180 and most importantly, it works. I'm happy I purchased it.
