Wish I could have done it with a better camera, but I think the angle makes up for. The silicon tubing has a bit of peppermint oil rubbed in it.

SquareSmoke somehow is out of stock on all T-Vapes and now eBay is running amok with 119 dollar T-Vapes, even the short tube you've always wanted.

Just pulled the trigger on ebay. Black short tube. Should be really stealthy 
I think this is going to fit in in to my lineup very nicely 
Edit: just a couple more things. With the short tube can anyone tell me how much the oven can hold approximately? Thanks
Also, Ive been trying to figure out how this vape gets so little attention. People are screaming out for a pen that does herbs and here it is. With all the hype surrounding the grasshopper I can't help but wonder why this isn't one of the most popular portables. $120 on ebay now too

Does anyone have the weight on the short t-vape without the chargers and stuff...just the oven, mouth piece, battery and whatevere else you have to carry to use it? How about the weight of the battery by itself? The specs are lacking for the t-vape and this is info I would like to know. Thanks!

Here's the weight per paytonpenn answered on another thread in case anyone else is looking for the info...
"Its about 4.25 ounces total (with my short tube) the battery is 3 ounces. Short tube 1.25"

Wow, exactly the same lol. Maybe same unit just unbranded? Id be willing to try it out as a backup if I were able to buy a single unit and not 10

Man you got some nice hits on this one. I just picked mine back up today. Been using the long bong to much and i totally forgot how effective this thing is. Ill be using it for now on for quite a while. When you first heat the unit do you hold it down another 10 seconds after it turns green before first hit or longer?

Yes. @thegoochking I heat for 10-15 seconds before my first hit in order to get bigger vapor on my first draw, you don't have to since you still get good taste, but if you want to exhale big vapor the extra heating time helps.
You will always get bigger hits after the first few hits anyways, and I don't know about you but when I crank up the T-Vape I'm gonna take 15-20 hits.

The max to hold is 25, when it goes green that means its cooling down. I personally would hold it longer but I have a short tube and I believe long tubes heat up quicker.
Pretty sure his was already nicely heated by the vapor he formed. You want to hold the down the button to create vapor. If its green then it stops creating vapor.
EDIT:
Have you guys tested pulse heating, I've been trying to figure out if the T-Vape will maintain the temp if I don't heat up for 10 seconds, it seems to be but its difficult to be sure, but I just probably need to go through more sessions.
What I have been doing is pressing the button for 3-5 second intervals about 3-5 times, really would love some feedback on this as it should preserve taste longer and allow for extremely long sessions. I know the T-Vape outlasts joints and blunts.

ive gotta start experimenting with how much to fill it and such. I have the long tube i call it my vape blunt even though i cant smoke those things to harsh. Im curious since it is constantly heating if i was to pack it full would it just go through more faster or would it vape slower and give me longer sessions. And thanks for the info about it cooling when green i had no idea now i know to always hold the button before taking hits. I was told once its green its ready to go and u don't need to use the button unless you want more heat.

Your sessions will provide more vapor, probably would last longer due to that, you would heat it less because there is more herb getting heated and forming more vapor in comparison to less.
Once it goes green that means its ready to be heated, not go. It does the initial red to imply the heat up, then when it goes green you put in your joint or herb (AFTER?), pretty sure that's how the design initially was, but I we'll preload.
You need to use the button or is does NOT make heat. It will not heat unless its red, green is cooldown mode or standby.

The Instructions that came with the t-Vape are very poor, Wrong even. If you go through some more of this thread you'll find some great tips.
I do use my t-vape when I feel like blasting a bunch of herbs at once so I tend to stuff mine pretty full. Doing half hour sessions is common for me with it. having a collection of vapes I use others for smaller amounts.
If planning on more then one session, say a couple during the day. I'll load smaller amounts per session. The Long t-Vape does well with tiny loads or stuffed with 1.3gm. All in how ya want to use it.

Sounds like a good way to roll. Im planning on getting it down to where i can load it take it with me with a little refill container and be on the go without problems. Man so when it is on and green it isn't vaping the herb? it only starts to vape once you hold the button? the instructions were pretty terrible if thats the case lol

Received my T- Vape last night. It is an impressive looking little unit. Its way too early to pass judgement but so far I like it. I'm looking forward to mastering the learning curve.
I have a couple of questions though if anyone can help. I have the short tube and am wondering how much material on average most of you use. I have only used it twice so far. Both times I put in .1 It went okay but I did not get many hits at all and it was inconsistent (learning curve I imagine). Actually I was holding the button down for way too long I think. @paytonpenn - I really appreciate all of your work in this thread. I have read it all but I was wondering if you now have a technique/routine honed down with the TVape that you might share. Many thanks.
EDIT: Sorry I should have mentioned that I am hoping to use this in a similar way to the Pax. I would like to load it up with around .3 and just have it to take stealth hits and have a short session or two when I am out and about. Is this realistic or is it a matter of more material equaling more vapor but not longer sessions? Would I be better doing small packs and reloading? As I don't vape a lot on the go I am hoping to generally only take a packed and loaded T-Vape with me and no refilling material or tools. Thanks again.

Mr. Gweilo One cool thing about the t-Vape is once you learn to use it is that you pretty much have full control of how thick your hits are. I can sip on the long tube for 45 minutes or blast through with giant coughing fit hits in 5 minutes. You can fill and do a few sessions but of course taste suffers. I only get 2-3 sessions out of a charge, heating it from a cold start takes a bunch of power so a second battery is a pretty sweet thing to have when out and about.
One thing about the T-Vape is 'practice makes perfect'. Use it a lot, dedicate at least a 1/2 oz to getting it down and you won't regret it at all.
Peace and all that good stuff at ya.
T-Vape Away !!!!!!!! Or as a few people here in the town of Bumfuck, Florida say;
"FEEL THE POWER OF THE T-VAPE"

My oven is using a formed screen above the silicone nub to prevent the herb from hitting that dead zone and to prevent herb from going into my mouth when using the straw the method. (The screen is placed so that the U shaped formed screen is not catching the herb in U's cup.)
I tend to do .15 or more, .2 would be good, or .3 if you wish, with more herb you'll get bigger vapor, with less heating. Using the straw method I inhale the herb, pack it, inhale some more, pack it again, put a formed screen on the top of the oven and put on the nipple.
You really want to pack it as tight as possible, or at least that is what I do, even with under .1g. When you use more herb you will definitely notice bigger clouds.
Pulse hitting; this helps maintain temperature, and can prolong the session, its start at 370 gets increased 10 degrees if the button is held for 10 seconds on a single pulse. I am under the assumption temperature does not increase when held for less.
I try and keep my pulses under 7 seconds. By pulse(s) I am speaking in regards to when the button is held for an interval of time, multiple pulses will be needed, I recommend having the multiple pulses total time held equaling above 20 seconds. Max temperature is said to be 420.
Fill method; pretty much the opposite of pulse hitting and probably the simplest. You will ignore the fact that you are increasing the temperature at a drastic rate and hold the button for 15+ seconds, preferably 25 seconds which is when the oven should stop heating (a quick flash will appear notifying the user of the timer, but the light will remain red if you still press it, I am under the impression it cuts off the heat at that flash). Things to take note of with this method is that you are increasing the temperature by 20 degrees and by the third hit you "should" be at max temp.
I feel users should start will the simple fill method of waiting for the oven to just get filled and ignore the temp, then they can figure out controls if they feel the need.
Also don't inhale while pressing the button, (at least not until vapor has been formed inside) its counter productive and I don't that vapor forms fast enough for you to inhale initially.

This was a 16 minute minute session I did with .3g, I definitely could have kept going the abv was light brown. I tried to make this video as short as possible so the more boring parts are fast forwarded.
I also added temperature information and timing to give a better understanding on production and how it works.

@paytonpenn and @RUDE BOY - sorry for the slow reply guys but just wanted to say thank you to you both for your expert and detailed advice. I really appreciate it. I actually received an E-Nano on the same day as the T-Vape so the T-Vape has not seen much action yet. I think I need a bit of time to get to know it well Definitely this weekend I will set about trying to master this thing. Thanks again and will update next week
@Rman43 - I'm pretty sure I saw red in the short tube but not 100%.

@Rman43 On the t-vape site they only have red with the long tube, if you can live with the little extra length and do get the long just wanted to tell you that I like the long tube better. All in all it outperforms my short tube in every way so I'll always recommend the long tube t-vape over the short.
You can have good sessions with both, but I always grab the long tube.
@Mr. Gweilo 420 with a new E-Nano I don't see the rush to mess with the t-vape a lot right away.
Relax and enjoy the new toys.

So obviously doing the exact same counting isnt needed but is the goal to gradually heat it in those total amount increments?

Yes? I just chose shorter intervals for pulses to ensure I don't accidentally reach over 10 seconds.
Well I did get the long tube... I think I'll keep it though as it's not as big as I originally thought. I do have a few questions though. I did a burn in and saw some off-gassing. Then I took a few cigar type puffs (with nothing in the oven) and the taste was terrible. I rinsed off the mouthpiece in ISO and it wasn't a rubbery taste. It tasted like I was inhaling melting plastic. Does this go away? Also, what type of battery life does everyone get with the long tube? How many sessions or packs on average?
RUDE BOY

I didn't have any Off taste like that with my t-Vape, One of the nipples tasted like rubber at first but no off gassing of melted taste.
I get around 50 min to an hour of battery time if I do one or two long sessions. Heating it up to vaping temp from a cold start takes a lot of battery so I get no more then 2 1/2- 3 sessions on a charge how ever long the sessions are.
