Discontinued The Sublimator

mine did this, felt tightened down, but still had some play in the handle, I had to separate the atomizer/stem and clean the threads better to get that to stop happening. Even just a little bit of build up can get in the way of the parts tightening all the way and being solid. I don't have the issue anymore.

anyone have some good fixes for a wobble in the atomizer handle? Mines still stable, just moves a bit and makes me nervous with all the heat.

I hated that little wobble so I tighten mine up good, actually put a tiny bit of sublimate on the thread ( like thread lock) to hold it tigh cause it wobbled minutely at first without proper tightning


I think the Sublimator's greatness is in the hit and the flavor.. I can't believe how great this cheap 5$ a gram OG Kush smalls taste and hits....... It taste so good you'd think it was top shelf... but it aint!

I do a lot of Dabs but today I'm getting back to what the Sublimator does best........ Weed..

so many dab from the slab video but Enrico first video about using a small amount of material and fully extracting from it are the Sub's real advantages IMO and with all of America about to legalize wee, well if I were him that is the direction I would go...

I've temporaliy gave gone back to stock screen only, wedged 2mm below first ridge, and packing .15 or less. The ultra fine screens really restrict the airflow. I might jam another stock screen all the way to the bottom of the atomizer for fun. Huge rips.

Has anyone tried replacing their timer themselves? The timer started buzzing, and I found a replacement from defiant that will work. Just wondering if anyone ran into any problems.

I just got the final parts in for a massive homemade one,
it will allow for component-level repairs.
I will complete the soldering soon and compare it to the original as well as one of these:

I've also found that hitting the box with a small ball-pin hammer will stop the buzzing,
you may have to hit it more than once.
The housing does seem to take a beating quite well, ymmv!
My box has been buzzing for months.
I use the override every time and it buzzes almost every time I turn it on.
Other than the buzzing all systems are still fully operational.
I will cut the cord very soon.

Quick update: I just got an email from PV from whom I bought my sub last June; it's been awesome since day one with no problems despite heavy use...

"Hi Home_piece,

Your Sublimator Moon Tool is on its way to you via Canada Post lettermail and should be arriving in 4 - 6 Business Days."

Not gonna lie - I didn't think this day would come! :D

hello, cloud+ died, so while searching for a new vape, the sublimator gained my attention.
question. I only use weed nothing else. would buying this device this be overkill for just this use?
I reckon sturdiness is a key criteria too, after the myriad of vapes I've owned, all are in the vape grave yard, bar my little solo. is this device robust?
thanks.

thanks for the link jam, definite front runner as clouds replacement.
I have multiple medical conditions that require different gear @ different times of day. the reported efficacy of sub 2 and evolving delivery methods is interesting and appealing. :-)
out of interest jam... what is your go to vape?

I keep the Sub going as my main driver, then next to that would be the Lotus, for portable ease and quick hits, the HeatIsland is my Favorite log vape that I usually keep hot and waiting to use as well. I like to change things up in the day, save heavy sub use for evenings/nights and those wee hours when I tend to wake up. Once heated, it's just such a heavy hitter, and gets right to the point. I don't have any experience with the new 2.0 line, maybe one day I'll get lucky enough to test it out. I'm pretty satisfied with my 1.0 at this time, been going since June of 2013.

So I cut the cord.

I think I may have finally hit my buzzing controller box with the hammer too many times.
Today I broke the timer override button with a stray whack so it had to go.

Soldered and sealed--a bomber splice where the box used to be, less a foot or two.

I should have done this a long time ago, works great :tup:!

They got the polarity backwards so the box has to be upside down, but otherwise I'm very happy with this little setup. No timer to worry about unless I want to put one inline, which I could easily do.

But I can't see why I would, I hated the auto-off! I can turn it off myself.
The indicator light is all I need, and it's easier to see because the box is upside down.

My homemade gfci-protected dimmer box has also been assembled and wired,
but either I have a bad switch or I wired it wrong so still working on it.
It's a monster compared to this little guy!

Here's the version with the timer ;)
it's just the handiest on/off so I can leave the dimmer where I like it,
I could be using a straight switch or a power strip.

I can live with a timer that lasts for six hours, and is 100% optional.

Okay the final chapter, my monster box is fully functional.
The box above ^ will be strictly for travel, and the timer will work with either.

Complete with mother-of-pearl inlay knob :D
The attenuation on this one is the best of all three of the controller boxes.

T0ONreo.jpg

GFCI-protected with rubberized feet for waterpipe safety :science:
The whole thing's a bit overkill, but I could run two (hacked) apollo heads at the same time if I want.

In use at the substation.
The indicator light is quite bright when the master switch is on,
and I can turn it off without affecting the dial adjustment.
The orange stuff is real rubber(ized) cement for strain relief.

Best of all, if any of the components gives me any trouble,
(outlet, dial, switch) I can change it out easily.


edit: you can see a crack across the bottom of the launchtube, it broke off where it was scored for the gasket the last time I yanked it out and the crack has been growing like on a windshield. So once I trim it down with a chop-saw, my sublimator overhaul will be complete (with a slightly shorter tube).
:tup:

Too late, I drilled out a cap just right so it was already pretty tight but the drill recessed it about 1/4", just right for my ghetto cement that I was using to fix some snow boots anyways. Perfect strain relief, and I like orange! But I'll keep those things in mind for next time, that's a good idea and I hadn't seen those.

grokit nice job!! I will definitely do this if my box ever goes out. Good to know we have this option.

Anyone else with ver 1 notice the apollo's metal surrounding the heating element can be unscrewed? I was hoping that we'd be able to replace it with a Ti one eventually, buy no such luck I guess. Even though I'm sure it could be fabricated.

SO my box went out months ago and I tried similar fixes after cutting the cord (all of which failed) but I was afraid of the direct connection because I know nothing about electronics. I may be giving this a try soon. All I need is a similar on/off switch. Should I be concerned about any dangers with this method? Since I know almost nothing about electronics

Don't unscrew the head,
you'll probably break it and there's no coming back from that one (reportedly)!

Yeah me neither so don't try this at home ;)!

Jk, the little dimmer box in my first solution is perfect, and a lot cheaper ($32) than the more complicated box that I made ($75+ just in parts) and needed help with the connections to make everything work correctly! The only functional difference* is that you need to add the timer or a power strip as a 2nd switch to the smaller pre-made dimmer box if you don't want to lose your setting when you power off/on again.

*Besides the fact that you could run two heads simultaneously with the bigger homemade box.

Let me know if you need me to to re-post links to the timer or the dimmer box,
which I've done a couple of times already in this thread.
