so the dark knight did arrive yesterday. Haven't had time to test it yet, since a friend came to visit me.
However, I can tell you about my first impressions, already.
Compared to the Titan-1 I was actually surprised by the products quality. Nice metal housing, doesn't feel too cheap, but the edges are a bit sharp.
The only thing that has really worried me right away was the silicone/rubber mouthpiece, which is directly above the herb chamber and has that typical china rubber smell. So I put it out first and soaked it in water over night.
In the evening I had time to charge it. Took 1,5h.
Now, I was ready for the first tests (without any herbs inside, since the mouthpiece was still soaking and I always do a smell test first. Smelled a little soapy at first!).
Maybe, I was too baked or something, but at first i didn't manage to get the automatic heating started (manual heating is pretty much like an ecig, push and hold the button and it heats uncontrollable)... I already started to think it's broken at this point. However, after pushing the button a couple of times, it suddenly started heating. (Don't know what I've did wrong before, but I think it's definitely not as easy to use than other comparable units.)
While heating a blue light flashs every second, after around 30 seconds (heating is quite fast) the led will glow constantly.
This means you can start to inhale. However, the blue light will shut off after 2 minutes already! If you push the button again, it will heat again. Repeated this process a couple of times, until the dark knight got so hot, that it was uncomfortable to hold it any longer and I was worried that it might overheat... maybe that's because there are just two very small air slits?!
That's all I did yesterday. Went to bed afterwards.
At this point I'm far from beeing impressed, but for a final rating, I have to run many more tests (since I don't even have understood how to use it properly, yet)
