All of our beta testers are medical users, we might be able to get them to pitch in and give a usage demo...

Good point, that takes power and time. More power for less time. It also means that when you shut down, there's a lot of heat stored in there that will be 'coming out' but further heating the body, batteries, your hand and whatever it can. You 'pay' for that with battery capacity and it largely doesn't help the effort.
Another way to look at it is some (fairly small) amount of energy is needed to do the necessary work of vaporizing. Any unit needs to do that much. Past that, all the energy put into the system is 'lost' and actually becomes somewhat of a problem potentially.
Then again, it does seem to handily separate the THC from the rest.....and that's what we wanted it for, right?

Building a portable convection vaporizer is a more substantial undertaking from an engineering and design standpoint then a conduction vaporizer. I am sure this is why so few pocket friendly convection vaporizers (any? other then the ThermoVape) are on the market. The ThermoVape kicks out 30 Watts, and certainly pushes the LiFePO4 batteries... But convection is superior IMO, no one is out buying conduction desk top units. You have to bathe the the flower in the hot air to really open it up and maximize the release of the active metabolites, that was our goal. We certainly could of achieved much longer run time with a conduction unit. However we just feel that technology is not for us... convection only.

Im with you for sure on the covection>conduction tip, im really digging this vape more and more as i get my technique down, i tried it for the first time with my bubbler tonight and was able to milk it damn near close to the rips i get from my SSV with a bit slower draw, still adjusting to being able to get such big dense hits while on the go, iv'e been caught off guard and over medicated a bit while out and about a couple times already lol

I cannot express to you how happy that post makes all of us here at ThermoVape (yes.. the music is still going and the crew is still working, hand assembly is no joke!).
Much appreciation from all of us, to know that the ThermoVape is performing for you, and delivering... well that is what it is all about for us!

Excellent points, no arguments. More so, there's great insight in them for those who follow. Yes, there's a HUGE difference between 30 Watts in the TV and the ten or so in the LB. This basically forces the LB to heat only part of the load (conduction). For sure 30 watts from two 123Rs is way way past design spec for them. With the TV we're looking for five Amps from a battery that is designed for a small fraction of that and can produce at most (dead short) 12 Amps. At this level, for instance, a full third of the power delivered goes to heating the battery, not the heater, let alone the weed. No, I agree, you've pushed about as far as is reasonable in the noble effort....efficiency is not a factor really.
The goal of vaporizing a reasonable amount of bud with a single battery set in a small easy to deal with package seems to not only have been a good goal but also met. Going for longer battery life would have meant sacrificing in more important areas.

Nvm just got the email literally right after I posted this great service!

You are 100% correct, we tried countless prototypes with different configurations of batteries, heater core variants, etc. Where we ended with the ThermoVape was the absolute best we could do given the size constraint. We wanted a convection vaporizer that would easily and comfortably fit in your pocket, and would pack enough convection punch to fully satisfy the owner.
Reading your post above, I can tell you if feels good to hear from those on the front line, that this undertaking is appreciated.

Ok one question if I'm with a group of 3 people and we finish using one set of batteries will it be too hot to put In a new pair immediately?

I received my white Thermovape this afternoon. I've only done a couple bowls so don't really want to say much, besides: it works, and I like it.
A couple questions:
1. The unit is overall quite solid, but the batteries rattle slightly in their containing sleeve. Is this normal? Doesn't seem to be a problem.
2. The mouthpiece on the white version is plastic (or Delrin) which isn't shown on the website. Does the black version come with a metal mouthpiece, and the white with plastic?
I like the TV so far, and I'm already pretty sure it'll replace my MFLBs for portable use. I'll know more after I put it to the test on a 2-week trip starting next monday. Cheers!

No, you can throw the batteries straight in. No problems. The device will get warm, and I imagine if you had a never ending supply of batteries and enough people to keep vaping there would be a point you want it to let it cool down.
zmurder said:
To answer your questions:
1. This is normal, we have to account for the tolerance variance in the batteries, some will fit tighter then other.
2. The pictures on the website are being updated, all ThermoVapes sold have shipped with the matching Delrin mouthpiece. We have the metal mouthpieces available separately. The Metal will get warmer (not burn you warm) then the Delrin and we felt it was a better choice. We also offer longer mouthpieces as an option. These should be available on the website tomorrow.

Which one would be the best to purchase to use with glass?
