TUBO evic/dual

[muunch]

@duff thanks man!

yeah had to take the doggie back out... didn't even make it out of the driveway before she saw some dude doing yard work at a neighbors and lost her mind lol.

in my sleep deprived/slightly medicated state, was more focused on getting my tubo out than worrying abt the dog (can you tell I'm not a dog owner) and once she took off i lost grip of the tubo i just pulled outta my pocket.

oh well we're all good now and the damage isnt even too bad so i can deal.

logs are definitely a great pairing with tubo as well but i feel tubo is like a pseudo desktop as it is (or maybe pseudo portable depending on how you look at it) so cant go wrong either way!

i personally like the taste a liiiitle bit better in my logs/brick/vapcap but other than that (very small) difference it's just a matter of how much portability you want and what power source you'd like to use

edit:

also... me? a drama queen...? no way...

Awesome @DDave.
No fanny pack option?

Thanks Friend!
I was going for the fanny pack effect with the belt clip on the back of the case, but if there's interest, belt pouches could be arranged.

 

[duff]

How about a larger case with or without a clip to house longer stems?

Ordered!

 

[leveltree]

Yeah that might be how VAS starts, but there really are plenty of cheap options now that could compliment Tubo even if they can't come close to replacing it

Haha yeah I definitely want to avoid that, can't afford another constantly growing collection of something
I will probably stick with my not so great vaponic as replacement for now, but maybe a Vapcap or something like it could be a good option.

And I guess I just did some unintentional durability testing. Not all too bad for 3ft onto concrete...

Yeah crazy as we were just talking about it. Anyways, good in any aspect, that yours is up and running!

I can look into it, definitely. What's reason for longer stems? Cooling?

In the stems of the pack you just ordered, keep the internal screen in as much of the ground glass portion as you can, not pushing it till it butts up against the spot where the stem narrows. You'll notice a cooling effect from doing this...

Good info @DDave, thanks.

I'm fairly new to the whole stem scene and find them to be a bit of a pain to store and cart around. Which is why I bought that slick pack!

But no love for longer stems.

I have an ego case, but it just doesn't hold them securely enough.

In retrospect, what I really wanted was a package of three stems (perhaps your cooler, concentration chamber and a long stem) nestled securely in a similar, but longer case with some storage for screens.

I'm sort of surprised there aren't more carrying cases like yours available and will buy a longer one when I see it...hint hint!

I'm beginning to think that I need to just send a regular monthly amount so you can send me whatever you're working on. The months you don't come up with something can add to the amount for the month you do. There seems to be no end to what you make that I'm sure I need. What is this called Ddvas?

One other comment. Somehow my cruise became undone. I'm sure that sounds odd but when I went back into the menu to check none of the clicks was set to cruise. But it had been because I used it when I first set it and haven't opened the menu again until just now.

You're not tryin to say the VC tastes better, are you?? (Maybe after your incident where it tasted like ass )
Definitely a big disagree on this..though I share most of your opinions. But this one,come on - really speculating about a typo..!

Honestly i've tried the vapcap OG, and i think taste is pretty shitty like on most conduction vapes(i find ti to be on par with x-max,imag,herbstick,flowermate) .
The only vapes that tasted better than the UD and the TUBO, were the Gn0me series of vaporizers ,and my DIY test tube convection vape.

I've had some minor issues with the software too. I guess your tubo got the alzheimers too. It kept forgetting the clicks setting everytime i pulled out the battery. I re-installed cruise mode and problem went away.
Btw was your cruise mod set to 3 clickz ? Mine was set on 3 clicks too,and after reinserting the battery ,3 clicks was set to edit and none to cruise. FJ said that for some reason TUBO like that 3 clicks setting to be remembered as EDIT,u can try making cruise start at 4 or 2 clicks ?

 

[duff]

Out of my main vapes, taste wise:

1. SBJ (very subjective due to the wood notes)
2. Tubo/Milaana
3. VC
4. Crafty/GH

Can be officially filed in the nobody asked you section!

Yes! This happened to me several times. Then one day it just started remembering 3 = Cruise, not sure why.

quick question in between to owners around the world: did you have to pay customs etc. for importing the tubo?
Especially interested in German or EU owners but overall interested.

Not EU, but US, and no Customs payment at my end.

 

[duff]

As an FYI, I ordered some screens from @funkyjunky that were shipped on Monday.They we're delivered today (Saturday) to Pennsylvania.

Yet, since its value is more than $30 dollars (think it's a little less in euro) you have to pay EU customs fees or import fees at least. Ask funky about it, he knows that stuff.

Correct me if i am wrong, but The Swiss are in NOT the EU ,but they have some financial agreements with the EU ,no custom fees are owed, but you have to still pay what we call here Value-added tax which where i live is flat 20%, You can get free of that 20% if you go on route for some certificate called euro 1 ,but it is only worth it if you import something really expensive like a car,other wise it will cost you more to get ,than it will save you.

 

[Zow237]

Wait what? I have to pay for feees? Hmmm

Wew, you seem to know a lot more stuff - thanks for chiming in!

Nope, you don't as you're in the US

 

[Abysmal Vapor]

Tried a new magnetic charging cable on the tubo,and i really liked it ,originally it was meant for my phone,but now i see that my other usb charging device can also benefit from this too.! Best 3$ deal ever . I've ruined more than one usb port on vapes and other appliances while knocking the units or the cable while inserted ,would have been a tragedy if i do that to my tubo,i am glad i got it,i even consider getting a spare. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Mag...lgo_pvid=23a944b4-0d03-462d-a762-7fc8ef186a13

 

[funkyjunky]

oh man! what a read @muunch im glad to hear your tubo is still running!
as @Alan says: dents and scratches add character to your new friend (or similar)
interesting how your heater screen got bent. the main function of it is to avoid particulates going into the boro tubes, that function is still intact. so if you use a basket screen to close your stem then there is nothing to worry about.
you can take it out and put it back in, but it will require a good amount of dexterty.

there is no export fee to pay but depending on your home country there will be import taxes. most likely there is a certain amount that gets through without VAT being claimed by customs. in the US its something around 800USD, in switzerland for example its 60USD. check your import regulations.



on another note:
i am very positive that i have found the origin of the heatup issue. i am testing the new firmware for a few days to be sure of its functionality but it looks very good.


cool modkit @DDave! i was secretly hoping that the US will get some kind of supply for mouth pieces similar to the ones i have, since shipping is a bit expensive from me for only a stem.

@Abysmal Vapor very cool find with the magnetic usb adapter! can you make a pic of how it looks?

 

[Abysmal Vapor]

I can make some photos, but meanwhile here is a video which shows the operation,mine is just like the one in the video

 

[little maggie]

Is there an easy solution to the software so that I don't have to reset cruise every time I use it? If I put cruise at one of the other click settings and leave edit at 3 then I lose one of the other clicks that I do use.

I thought i mentioned it but I got trough this, after a reinstall of the original software and then the cruise again. I've even flashed my data once and then reinstalled,but it messed some of the settings ,nothing that i coulndt handle though ,FJ said that it is due to coil resistance being different while hot, so i suggest that you do that while they are cold.
Anyway ,it is best to check if your coil resistance is locked at the number written on the back of battery lid,after a reinstall and also set again clickz settings.

How do I check the coil resistance and change it if necessary? I do better with the step by step instructions since I'm not a great tech person. I'll reinstall the software before I use it again.

It is displayed while in operation, it is right under the PWR which displays the wattage
You can go to menu by pressing fire button and + ,then go to coils and correct the value if need.
I also have downloaded the NFE toolbox which makes installation easier also you can monitor device performance on your computer .
There is a step by step guide posted from Prolusio a while back, only thing i do different is that i use the NFE toolbox for the updates and not the program suggested in his post.
