Bad news guys, my tube on the le just broke. Does anybody know the warranty procedures? Will post pictures soon, I was doing the first thorough clean and the plastic at the bottom part near the collector just broke off. To top it off i jumped on the computer to type this, and when i returned to the partially broked sub, its decided to crack all the way to the top... Its definitely not working now... It just keeps shattering each time i look at it.:uhh:


That sucks, but it will be an opportunity to check out support on these.
Please let us know how getting a replacement goes for you!

Just took a huge rip and held it deep. My vision started get blurry and the music was wawawaing in the background. I knew what was about to happen. I was going down. As I was falling backwards, I slammed into an open window shutter which enabled me to somehow grab the window still and keep from toppling over. What an amazing hit!!!!

I do love how a Sublimator hit makes your vision a little spotty and drowns out external noise whilst you're holding the vapour in.

Even though the Sublimator high is a creeper, based on just how much sound gets drowned out, I know how intense a high I'm in for.

Regarding the screen related comment - I honestly don't understand why anyone would use anything but the stock screen - I know it's a little wobbly, but with a poker of any kind you can get it to sit on the top rim without any problems - and that stock screen is just so much nicer a concept than any other screen I've seen on the market.

From a purely chemistry perspective - I think based on its design that it is a better conductor of heat and results in more thorough, even extraction than anything with a mesh would.

i know some of you guys like the stock screen, but even Enrico says he doesn't use it. and the whole, "anyone else trying anything else is just nuts/stupid attitude isn't very FC in my opinion. we get it. you like it as is.
I think I'm going to try out a different screen than my PV ultra fine. I was going to go with the iolite screen, but I wasn't sure to get the double woven or regular mesh. I like to dump my screen after every hit and the regular mesh looks like it will easily go in place, but the mesh does not look fine enough. While the double woven almost looks to fine to the point that it might restrict airflow. I was thinking of getting the regular mesh removing the screen and placing a PV ultra fine in place of it...

Any suggestions from someone who has tried on or the other or possibly both would be great.

i will repeat here. UF down below. DW Iolite up top. stays cleanest longest. have actually tried 5 or six combos.

and as Enrico says, "it's your sub, do what you want!"

my two cents

  • Able to resist extreme temperature variation: -100°F to 500°F
  • Translucent natural color for visual contact with the flow
  • Resilient, stretchable, and resistant to compression set
  • Odorless, tasteless, and inert
  • Good electrical and weatherability properties — resists U.V., ozone, gases, and moisture
  • Certified by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF-51) for food equipment materials
  • Peroxide-cured SILCON tubing contains no sulphur or other acid-producing chemicals, thereby eliminating the possibility of staining, corroding, or deteriorating other materials it contacts. It is extremely resistant to ozone and U.V. over long time periods.
The Sublimator cap requires a 3/16" I/D, our 3/16" ID x 5/16" OD fits perfect and you can buy it by the foot and cut it to a custom length that works best for you https://www.planetvape.ca/vaporizer-accessories/vaporizer-tubing.html

PV

For anyone who has the le kit I would definitely recommend changing the tubing to the high temp silicone tubing that PV recommended. I cant stress it enough, the stock tube starts to kink after a couple weeks of heavy usage. The silicone is definitely outperforming the pvc.

That sucks, but it will be an opportunity to check out support on these.

Will do, I contacted the shop I purchased it from and they said that they would call me back with warranty procedures. If I dont hear from them by tomorrow ill give them another call. Keep you guys posted. Peace

If someone has or wants to make and post a video of the UFO/keychain/mercury/whatever the analog sub is called I would be very appreciative. I'm trying to decide if I want it and would love to get a more concrete feel of what it is like to use.

edit: or if there is one out there and someone want's to point mt to it that would be great too. I've looked somewhat thoroughly with no luck

It is definitely worth reclaiming from your glass after using the sublimator for a bit. I got some great oil out of my piece, as some of the "sublimate" sprays out onto the glass. This is if you are using it dry, of course.

There was a guy on YouTube doing a few demo's of the keychain model. The videos seem to have disappeared though...Enrico shows it in one of his vids as well, but I didn't think it was a great representation of it. Hopefully a member will have a video of it in an actual campfire.

Yee haw... Whaazup subnation... Got the sublimator and for all of you still sitting on the fence : yes, it is all it's hyped up to be and more.
Enrico - you deserve a pat on the back and if i had my way it's only a matter of time before there is a statue built in your honor.... It is that good.

Is the double woven good for the screen dump method or just for wedging in place?

Considering the sublimate's texture is a lot like Afghani hash, I'm wondering what would happen if I take say a gram of sublimate and mix it with a gram of kief and then utilize it as though it were all hash - rather than dabbing it...

Thoughts?

Every time I turn on my Sublimator, I inspect the bottom of the atomizer, and collect any oil that is about to drip out. Using this method I have only had one bead of oil fall into my glass and always have a few dabs ready. Can't wait for moon tool.

Running the ultrafine down low is key to clean oil. Need to wedge my stock screen back on top. Been using it loose and I don't care for it. It is harder to stir and flips into the ultra fine screen easily. I'd like to try those iolite screens.

while waiting for the oil coils for the SR-71, ataxian was mixing kief and oil and pressing them together to make what he calls, "Pollen Pellets". he really enjoyed them. i am sure the same can be done here

"There was a thread about the Sublimator on FC which was closed due to some posters not following forum rules. We are not here to debate the scientific aspects of whether the Sublimator is a vaporizer or actually performs sublimation. What we can say after using it is that it is an experience like no other.
_______________

Can someone explain how this works to me? When a vendor invents some nonsensical marketing, making such wild claims, simply to conseal the fact that 1. He didn't invent it, 2. He is lying about having a patent on it, and 3. It's just a heated downstem, we're really supposed to tolerate this kind of blatant, predatory behavior?

I don't understand. They say it's a "nice guy", but it's all a lie in order to facilitate selling what is just a heated downstem, for over a thousand dollars. Doesn't that upset you guys?

Planet vape is well aware of this, but they are on the take now as well. You can't even leave real feedback on their website. It's all pre moderated, as it would have to be when you go down the road of marketing utter nonsense, that leaves every other use a permanent, third degree branding.

Fuckcombustion, honestly, you owe your users a lot more.

Everybody, I am the guy that gave enrico the idea for a heated downstem. I never ever gave him the idea to call it "sublimator" and rip everyone off. I am so ashamed that I had any part in this at all.

Do not attack companies or disrupt the harmony of the board
Oh and guys, at least call it what it is, a really bad vaporizer that's akin to dry bong tokes and makes you choke violently on clouds of hot, dry dust.

If you corrected that issue with water filtration, you'd likely be electrocuted because enrico is more of a con artist than an engineer.

But don't call it "sublimating", because it paints everyone in a very negative light, like you need protecting from everyone trying to sell you waterfront property in Florida, and like no pothead could pass grade six science class.

It's a fucking embarrassment, and this place should be the source of real information, not just kissing up to con artists marketing dangerous products because you can get free samples. This forum should be more responsible than that. But you're not.

Yeap, that's reclaim. Looks pretty opaque. Must be all that dust. It's funny that they always try proving this thing is a vaporizer by using extracts in it.

Does that really fool you guys at fuckcombustion?

Is it responsible for a vendor to say "drink the sublimate water", with his "water toy", while providing a cowardly disclaimer of "do not get the appolo wet (because it will kill you)?

I am not sure that I'm okay with that. Does fuckcombustion really want to be associated with a body count?

Since it is a water toy, why can't you get the appolo wet? Why isn't it engineered safely?

Enrico? Is it because you're just a con artist, that can't resist the profit margin of a thousand dollar downstem?

Look, Dave I get everything your saying here and in your other comments. But this is not the correct way to go about trying to educate people. Your going to make people get defensive, it's going to turn into an argument, and the conversation will go nowhere.

Just let it go. The misleading marketing disappoints me too, but there is no huge conspiracy here. The Sublimator is a vaporizer, and that's why it is here. Most people in this thread, most owners know that this is not the chemical process of sublimation. Many people have passed it by on the price point. And FuckCombustion is not taking part in the marketing at all. That original thread was removed because it transitioned from a discussion about the vape into a personal attack on Enrico, which is not allowed here.

And on that note, I'd be careful how you word what you are saying. Calling someone a con artist, regardless of any circumstances is not tolerated around here, and I'm sure you can find a better way to get your point across without the vitriol.

Guys, enrico has no patent. The concent is patented but enrico doesn't own it. Enrico will get sued for all he's worth in a few years.

But it's perfectly cool for hobbyists and enthusiasts to make your own heated downstems. I bet you can do it for a lot cheaper than enrico is charging for his heated downstem. I bet you can make it a lot safer too.

Why doesn't fuck combustion have a competition to that effect? Or is it only interested in furthering the agenda of con artists?

That is the standard result of trying to educate people. Notice that you provided no actual alternative solution. Do you know one?

If truth is water, this place is hydrophobic. That's no reason to let this play out unopposed. I don't want the deaths on my conscience. I don't want to have any hand in having ripped these people off and having helped enrico do it.

Do you know of a way I can change all that or do you just have negative advice, which is sure easy, isn't it.

And where do vendors get off opening a thread stating "we aren't here to challenge the wild marketing claims".....

Yes, you lying scumbag, we are.

Are you completely missing the fact that we are of the same opinion here? I'm not thrilled with the way the Sublimator is being handled either. The only difference is that I am going about it differently than you - and that IS my solution. Your doing a disservice to those of us who are trying to clear up misinformation surrounding this product by posting the way you are. And the other thing is, it actually does a great job of vaporizing - so lots of people do like it on it's own merits rather than the claims.

If you want to make a difference here, you need to provide a well written, thoughtful post that deals with what you are trying to say. 8 short, rapid fire, vitriol filled rants that completely contravene the rules is the exact opposite of what people here are going to react well too. And you shouldn't need to insult Enrico to get your points across if they are strong enough to stand on their own.

I'm sorry you are taking what I'm saying as negative advice, but comparing it to the posts I'm replying too I'm not really sure that's what I'd call it. You obviously have in depth knowledge about the Sub. All I want is for you to repackage your points in a manner that would be appropriate for the levelheaded discussion style we like to keep over here.

I for one, am genuinely enjoying the sublimator that was bought and paid for with my own cash and with no affiliation to anybody. So does the fact that I really enjoy this vaporizer somehow make me a fool? I think not. There is a thread for debating the science of "sublimation". I am just looking for a device that I can medicate effectively and enjoyably with, and so far so good.

As to price and overall value, that will always be fairly personal. As a businessman, you have to hand it to Enrico that he stuck to his guns, got it out on the market and is making a success of it regardless of the negativity.

Anyways, not the place for debate...and Centizen is correct, you are welcome to voice your opinions, just keep it respectful. Not a hard rule to follow and one that keeps this place a fun one to visit and share ideas.
