I appreciate that! I really thought hard at the Want and wanted to get it because of the overwhelming praise I see but something about the carbon II and being able to adjust it really spoke to me, plus there's less stuff to lose haha
For real
I just ordered the same purple/black carbon II special but with rgb. Now is the bit where one practices patience. You must be feeling that it is close eh!Just placed an order for their 420 special black/purple carbon II. I noticed there was an option for a UV led that isn't on the normal listings so I had to see what that is all about. Excited to get it in 5 to 7 weeks.
needs a usb c-to-a cable to charge, so not true usb-c
Appreciate it. I figured that was the case but wanted to make sure.
I really almost sprung for that RBG just so I could watch the color change!I just got my Carbon II today from the recent 420 sales, was late ordering but a bit of patience and arrived like clockwork. Really really nice unit! Steve tuned it already for a long heat up with the glass level. After an initial full charge which seemed to take between 5 and 6 hours before turning green, she was ready. The very first heat n draw gave nice vapour and lovely clouds thereafter. I love the changing LCD lights and the really nice even heating of the herb. It looks even better in the hand than in a pic! Quality. Really sharp, solid, well built but easy to fit into a jacket pocket if need be too, altho I only see myself using it mainly around the house and the odd fishing excursion. So pleased to have it. A happy kiwi today!
How are you finding the UV option, what sort of effect does that create?
I use to have a plug-in and a portable IHs, after few months the plug-in had zero use. I end up giving the wired one to a friend and I am happy with the portable one and fast charging power bank -you can vape whilst charging or just a 5min charge will see you through. When 'fishing' I always take a gas lighter just in case...
It looks cool but it really just looks like a purple LED haha. It doesn't throw enough light to effect anything around it unfortunately but it's still cool knowing it's UV.
Thanks Riik, that makes sense. I really like the portability of the VHB Carbon II, but I'm mindful that eventually I'll most likely have to send it back to the US for new batteries and since I mostly vape in the garage, buying a plug-in version (the VHB Mini) if it works just as well as the Carbon II then it would be ideal, then having 2 units I'd always have a back up if one was ever out of action. Torches have been too inconsistent for me to ever want to use them again.
Cheers, As I mentioned above, I am considering getting the VHB Mini (plug-in), it doesn't seem to come with an RGB LED option, but the purple LED would probably be my next choice.
As I've been experimenting with the height of the glass and I've started to also find that 3 heatings work best for me as well. Sometimes my 3rd round will be a little too much, but that's rare and only when I've not been paying attention and let it go past the click too long.
I would send them an email and see if they can. The RGB is the best to me because I know exactly when it is going to click by the color coming up so I can start my inhale a little early and get a big hit.
I have found in practice, that as the batteries run down the heating takes slightly longer and the RGB goes further into the colour sequence. Initially I was thinking that deep indigo was the 'colour' of the second click. But as the batteries ran down it surprised me and from a cold start went further to a really pretty purple colour, and then just before I needed to recharge the batteries, the RGB cycled all the way back to the red colour. I guess with a plug-in mains powered Mini, that the click would probably happen on the same colour except for different ambient temperature influences on the heating. It is currently Winter where I am and I guess that in Summer the unit would be starting from a warmer temperature and probably therefore need less heating to click.
