The WISPR vaporizer

It's a shame they went battery powered for the new WISPR... the butane power was the selling point for me.

Maybe a WISPR 3 with a lower/high temp setting switch and a (even) larger butane tank? Would be a no brainer for me.

Just bought the whispr 2. Too hot for tobacco. Though the hits are tolerable.

Any ideas on tuning it for lower temps?

@karotene The original Iolite heats up to a lower temp. 180-190ºC if I remember right. I think the WISPR is 200-210ºC.

Not a huge fan of black ABV. Otherwise, butane is great. A very sensible energy source.

I could run my WISPR and WISPR II for hours and would never end up with anything near black AVB. . . in both of mine it ends up about the same shade of brown as fresh cigarette tobacco.

Nothing really against the Whispr 2. I'm not selling mine. It just runs a bit too hot with the tobacco for my taste.

Here's an attempt at a color comparison. In reality it looks quite a bit darker but my good camera broke. Someday i'll do a better comparison with all results in one picture. Cheers!

Try it sometime in the wispr e if the opportunity arises.
It carefully raises the temperature in increments until you shut it down.
A number of tobacco aficionados have claimed great success with the Wisper-E after being disappointed with the WispR

I have a problem with my Wispr2 after long time of no use.
I loaded it full with butane, then I switched it on but it just hisses to death consuming all the butane with no heating to the chamber. It just evaporates butane without heating. :(

I have had something similar happen to two of my torch lighters. You could consider contacting Iolite. A quick pass through the FAQ's https://www.iolite.com/wispr_faqs I see mention in Question 12: "Which parts of the WISPR vaporiser are subject to wear and tear?" about some parts needing occasional replacement, including the mesh in the heat pin chamber-
I can't help directly, My Whispr E is still on its way, and the non-butane version.

Seems to me it’s quite safe to say they are out of business. I mailed them after my unit started to malfunction years ago and they never messaged me back. I’m pretty sure the shop was running then.

I saw that they employed 76 people, maybe social distancing is making things difficult.
And they may have shifted focus to keeping alive the Portasol sector of their business which produces butane soldering irons and (quite nice looking) torches, they even make butane calf dehorners!

I do remember having difficulty contacting them or maybe getting on their newsletter mailing list some time back. Who knows.

Shall we dig up this thread? Yes!:nod:
I sold my green wispr2 about 5 years ago and regretted it so much soon after. Luckily I managed to buy a new one, blue, in 2022. But I only used it 2/3 times until a month ago!
I don't know how to explain it, or rather I know...:hmm: I'm lucky to have the best vapes (in my opinion) all the Tinymighty's, Venty, FW7, Vapman, Volcano, Plenty... plus half a dozen, but sometimes you want different experiences. .. it is not?
As I was saying... I've been using my wispr2 blue daily... I love it
But it was crucial to remove the silicone/tube thing and adapt a spiked stem!
First I used a Tinymight one but now I use a Solo/Air spike stem... it doesn't cool as much but it's smaller and much better than the original with the silicone/tube thing.
The way these vapes work is incredible... they don't produce fantastic vapor but they are certainly a pleasure to use.
An essential thing about these vapes...the quality of the gas! I wasn't using "colibri premium"... this gas is wonderful! What a difference it makes... it always turns on on the first try
While writing these posts I sent a wp message to the guy who bought me my first green wispr2...I'm going to repurchase it! I want two of these and they can't be found anywhere anymore...:rockon:

@dzoinp I do!! I have gone in there a few times but they are firm on the price. I guarantee you I am the ONLY person around who wants it or even knows what it is. If someone is interested I'm happy to post the shop info
SmokeRigs has them in stock for $108 with free shipping. I’ve never bought anything from them though…
