Greetings OK and Five Hundred

Taking in your most helpful info I called the TV team, my dinner time, their breakfast time, as this was my intention anyway before your input....

they remembered me and advice given and are most kindly sending me an 'Evolution' conversion kit as a gift (also means no import tax, hurrah). Must say as a result very impressed with customer service after care and looking forward to it arrived, shipped today or tomorrow when they assemble new batch

as for shipping i had similar issue, their system says shipped as soon as you purchase (they are updating this) but a week later I called and they shipped that day. left US on Friday and arrived at mine ten days later on the Monday. It took one day to get out of US and rest of time in this country in customs lol

need a portable unit that is hardcore as I'm a musician (Ruben Vine) and I need something when out and about. My album latest is available for free at the moment

Many thanks again. I'll get those pads.....

 

[Mr Five-Hundred]

it isn't very difficult to solvent extract from kief.
for pressed hash, i warm the iso first, to get it to dissolve. then cool it before filtering. waxy kief shells get left behind in the filter

after evaporating, it will look like you have half as much but really its all there just twice as strong.

I have been throwing all my vaped smokables into the same pile - hash and weed into the same pile -
is it possible to do a good ISO extraction of both these plant matter together at the same time??

I've never done it, but understand it is effective (although the taste is not the best.....). Remember, the yield on ABV is going to be pretty low (you've pulled most of the THC out already). Still, waste not, want not as we Colonials say.

Of course we also use the 'chicken soup logic' at such times....."Can't hurt, might help".

Good luck.

I guess if i am vaping then literally it "cant hurt"!

Sent TV a very unimpressed email threatening to cancel my order in favor of an ebay stockist and they said they had been waiting on a back order for the batteries and that it should be dispatched today.... we shall see....

 

[Mr Five-Hundred]

Best of luck. Looks like if this doesn't do the trick I'd better never re visit the UK....... Lucky I'm not using my real name I guess?

Well OF, your theory is sound. I'm putting my faith in that - and I'm thankful for it either way. Any problems I have with it I'll blame on TV

MFLB? Not for hash but IMO a great little unit.

i am having trouble with their website. i want to order a Dart LV, but can't find it.
i see the dart loader and the TV Rev cart, separately. but not sure if they fit each other.

also, would they sell an adapter to use it on Omicron head or do i need to get that from d9?

I know what you mean, sometimes I can't find stuff I know is 'right there'.....

I believe things not immediately available get taken off the site until stock is available, that could be it? I also recall the body for the DART was out of stock and hung up in production somehow. They had the same part with AVA markings from their e-cig line that would work if folks wanted one. Otherwise ordering the LV Revolution and asking for the DART version instead has worked in the past (same price).

I'd give 'em a call or email and see what they suggest.

Yes, both TV and D9 sell the adapter to run DART on Persei. That is to run TV stuff on D9 supplies. Neither of them sell the adapter to put Omicron stuff on TV supplies, something I find kinda funny really.

Good luck.

After the customer service issue I decided to keep the revolution low voltage cartridge. I loaded it with .04-.07 as recommended. It produced little to no vapor Im using it with a vapor cone elite battery which i thought was 3.7v. It fits perfectly and it does heat up and bubble a bit but thats it. No matter how long I heat it up. Thermovape stated they only would accept returns that were for items unused. If anyone has any suggestions let me know.
thanks

Modnote: Merged.

So I recently broke my windowed revolution's ceramic disk, and I'm thinking of either replacing the heat core, or if its possible get the DART heat core and use it as a windowless revolution. What I mean is I have no use for the loading capabilities of the DART, but I found when using the windowed revolution I ended up top loading it most of the time anyways because the window just seemed more of a hassle. Will this setup work? With the mouthpiece of the Rev and the heat core of the DART?

A little birdie told me a rumor that TV (thermoessence) is now on eBay and has the ThermoVape Universal Adapter (M601-F510) adapters listed. And you will save a few bucks as well. Cha-ching!

Sorry you're having troubles. Pollen will be a huge challenge (which is why I guess it's not normally recommended), there's just no resin there to melt (Bubble and other hashes have at least some), you're trying to fry in a dry pan. It's conduction, the material has to be in mechanical contact with the hot surface, and you're trying to make that happen with microscopic dust that's not even round most likely.

I know it's not what you want to hear, but for pollen I'd have suggested Evolution, not Revolution I think. Evolution is a convection vape, it does the good work with hot air, not physical contact. Same as Iolite and Solo (which are working for you). You'd need some 'gauze' or I think better a bit of the pad Volcano sells for such concentrates in their convection vape under it to keep it out of the heater (those of us with access to bud and with jars of ABV around use that instead usually).

How to make it happen with what you have I'm not at all sure. Thinking out loud, I wonder if mixing a bit of some high temperature safe oil (like Peanut oil?) might improve the contact and 'deep fry' the pollen rather than let it rattle around on a dry surface? If you had bubble, wax, oil or other resin based concentrates available that would be ideal but if you did you'd probably be using that, right?

Again, I'm sorry you're having troubles, but it's a tough material to vape this way.....as you've discovered.

greetings again

Evolution has been shipped and in the meantime I have got hold of some Volcano Liquid pads as suggested to protect the heater from pollen dust but they are pretty big much bigger than diameter of thermovape base/battery section, do i presume you have to chop them down and modify to fit?

regards x

 

[glenda]

I also am a consumer of vast amounts of pollen -very similar looking hash to what you have posted.....
I ordered the TV evolution and volcano liquid pads with the advice of OF for the same reasons you and he mention.

I am still waiting for my order to be dispatched! Two weeks today! NOT HAPPY!
But as soon as it is through my front door you can be sure I will try it out with some hash of this sort and post the results. I live in UK, so when they do FINALLY get my products in the mail, I will still have to wait around 2 weeks for it to get here. So if it helps I can test before you buy if you have the patience.

best

Mr Five-Hundred

greetings again

you got yours yet?

Evolution has been shipped and in the meantime I have got hold of some Volcano Liquid pads as suggested to protect the heater from pollen dust but they are pretty big much bigger than diameter of thermovape base/battery section so too big to protect heater when unit arrives, do i presume you have to chop them down and modify to fit?

Howdy.

Glad to hear you're on track. Yes, there are two sizes of pads from Volcano, both way too big. If you poke around with them some you'll find they're actually a woven wire tube, a single strand. The tube is fairly long. I tease it out (at least on one end) then using sharp scissors carefully cut some off one end (trying to cut 'square' so as to not create a pile of short pieces. As a guess, a inch and a half piece? You want enough to make a pad perhaps 1/4 inch thick when moderately well packed in the bottom. Not enough to effect airflow but plenty of depth to trap loose debris. There's plenty of volume in the bowl, don't be afraid to experiment.

Just last night I was enjoying just such a setup in my DaVinci. A little pad at the bottom and about 1/8 gram of nice bubble hash over it. "Worked a treat" as the saying goes.

Best wishes.

I became familiar with portable concentrate devices through exposure to rebranded Chinese e-cigarette technology. After ditching that garbage and becoming a more educated individual, mainly due to the help of this wonderful forum, I have acquired a Thermovape T1 + Revolution + Dart system.

I would like to thank FC for saving me from subjecting myself to further negative health risks, and I would like to thank TE for being a wonderful company that not only designs and manufactures a fantastic product directly in the USA, but a company that also takes the time to engage their customers directly as exhibited by their behavior here. It is important to note that TV is the exception and not the rule, and for that they need to be commended.

My experience with TE/TV products has been 100% positive and an appropriately scaled counterweight to the absolute nightmare I experienced with inferior foreign technology.

I am pleased to know that I am now able to pursue portable concentrate vaporization, fresh with the knowledge that I am supporting my health and a great company at the same time. I will be sure to represent and promote your products to anyone who even has the slightest inclination towards portable devices, at the very least you earned it, at most I owe it to you

I would say that the only drawback or even remotely negative aspect of the customer experience is the website. I think it is truly phenomenal that you guys design and offer high quality machined interchangeable parts, but it is confusing for the end user when offered independently - particularly considered in the context of the "horizontal scrolling" navigation that your web designer feels should be the new paradigm. Suffice it to say I think if you listed some "kit" items, as your wholesalers do, it would be a little more clear what combination various interested parties should be looking for.

Man, oh man, for a new guy you sure have it nailed down tight if you asked me.

I fully agree with this last observation, their web page is perhaps their least useful effort? It makes sense to me in that the skills needed really are very different from those needed to design and build such cool gear. I have trouble finding stuff I know is right there, stuff I found the day before..... I'm not usually so clueless, but I've ended up bookmarking several spots (which only helps me some).

Given the choice of slick web pages pushing junk and awkward (to useless....) ones for the TV stuff I know which way I lean. Good show Tim and the guys are so quick to help sort it out for us one at a time, but I think their efforts could be better spent making yet more lovely products for us?

Exciting to hear such a great product line is getting better still, isn't it?

ok, i ordered LV cart and adapter but couldn't find how to put a note on the order.
so i emailed to say i wanted the dart version and a few minutes later got a response that it will be taken care of for me.

i'm excited, new oil tool in my future.

Stand proud, Lady. Soon your legend will grow yet again!

Now it's time to set aside some tasty concentrates for the christening and start repeating over and over to yourself, "Load small and often".

Best wishes.

Hello all,

I'll have to say I haven't been using my Revolution as much as I'd like. It seems that I can't get the ceramic clean enough (even soaking in ISO several days) and it still doesn't absorb oil very well anymore. Not getting very good hits, even after loading in a lot. Any suggestions? Is there a way to replace the ceramic?

Thanks!

The cores are not serviceable, But for $15 you can send it in and we will rebuild it to new functionality!

e-mail us at sales@thermovape.com and we can get you setup.

Cheers,
Tim

I might have to do the same thing. Ive had my dart for a lil over a week and its losing vapor production quite quickly. Friend just got his on tuesday and wow total difference in vapor production. His=Clouds Myn=Very Slight vapor and frustration

It may be flooded or just dirty. Did you try cleaning it?

I'm thinking that the ceramic will get somewhat plugged eventually and need to be replaced. But not after a week. Maybe months??
I have a new one sitting I the box I've been thinking about breaking out to see if it works any better than my 3 month old one.

 

[Trever]

Ive had it soaking for almost 24 hours in a closed mason jar outside so it can get warm. Hopefully a good cleaning is all it needs

Good luck. I'm with Darb here. I've intentionally gummed my original Revolution up good and proper. Ended up looking like asphalt somewhat. Took a lot of really nasty concentrates to do it, but I stalled it out. It took a couple of boils and ISO soaks since it was so gummed up. Finally I gave it a couple of rides in the ultrasonic cleaner in a vial of ISO. Since then we've been warned off ultrasonics due to rattling the heater loose it seems, but it's something I'd seriously consider before sending it in. If you break the heater, no big deal they would replace it anyway?

Best wishes. As you know, it's well worth getting it working right.
