Nice idea!
That would certainly be a a way to prevent overheating without a software change.

That's what I'm starting to think. I played around with 'baking' the tube for 5 minutes and it burned off everything below the slit. I haven't detected a flavor change either. However, the smell of the EVO and HT did change. It has a burned concentrate smell, but not enough of an issue, yet, to change the taste.
I busted out one of my C02 extract filled syringes to really put the flavor to the test. It did a great job. I didn't taste any leftover residue. I'm going to continue to use the VXN (shouldn't it be VapeXTube?) and monitor the bamboo.
Lastly, on the subject of best results. I found very high temps give the one and done hits. Mid-range temps give the two hitters. I like to start by slowly drawing a little air for 2-5 seconds, to increase the tube's heat. Stop for a moment (empty your lungs). And then take the hit.

I cleaned my EVO today with great results! Here is a walk through of how I did it.
You need an EVO, ISO, Salt, a small waterballoon, plastic bag, and a 5" round balloon.
Attatch the small balloon around the bottom of the bamboo. Blow in the top to make sure it is seated well and will hold air.
Cut a corner off the bag so it fits snug around the 18mm male joint.
Pour in salt.
Pour in ISO
Place 5" balloon over 18mm male joint and shake vigorously.
When done, remove the bottom balloon first while EVO is upright and let drain. Pinch the top balloon to prevent anything coming out and pull it off the 18mm male joint. Place your bag back over the 18mm male joint and flush with water until happy. Let it completely dry before use!
It took me all of 5min from start to finish and the bamboo is considerably cleaner. How does everyone else tackle cleaning?

Have you tried higher temps? With low temperatures (12 and below) I had similar findings in that it was hard to tell when the dab had been vaporized and if I was now vaping the left-over waxy residue because the vapor never went super thick and then super thin. When I hit at 3:00, it's pretty easy to tell when the dab is done. The chamber immediately fills with thick vapor and you continue to get thick vapor for a couple more seconds, then when the production slows just stop inhaling and clear your hit. The leftover crap will then just boil off, if your timing is right. Good taste without the plant matter/burnt nail taste. It takes a few tries to get a hang of it, but once you have your technique and your temperature dialed in you won't have to taste the crap end of the dab. You can certainly do this at lower temps but I found it easier to dab at higher temps when first getting used to the VapeXNail.

Since there is no price break on quantity, the simple answer is why not let the consumer decide how many to purchase? Is there some underlying reason you feel the need to make us choose a set quantity of nails?

Mine was only 4.99 to ship it to me. That is easy to pay if I needed a 2nd or third one. And I was expecting to pay it had I wanted another one. IMHO those asking not to pay this are asking too much. I would stop listening to your customer and just do what you want to do(to a certain extent lol) =P . In the end you can only please so many.
Yes, I was just getting ready to place an order for 2 when the site was changed. I have limited access to concentrates, so I'm sure that 2 would be enough for me. I may wait to place my order if the Hydrafoot 2.0 will be available soon.
Did you actually read the post you quoted?
As a Boy Scout, I made it all the way to Tenderfoot, so I'm happy '3' is the number of nails I have: one for each EVO and a spare: I'm gonna "Be Prepared" for stupidly breaking one, I hope, 'later' than 'sooner'. Knowing me, unfortunately, just as the sun rises every morning, and ducks quack, I will surely, or I will, Shirley, break a few along the road.

Yes i did, lost a few words in editing. My apologies on the "no discount for quantity" statement i was incorrect on. I simply dont have the moolah to drop on 3 or 5 to see if i like the effect or if my lungs can tolerate the concentrates or not. Such is life. Ill guess I'll just stick with flower. I wont bring it up again. Back to the regurlarly scheduled programming.

Wanted to show just how efficient the EVO can be. I tried to weigh this little amount of kief but it didn't even register. Probably like .008 I exaggerated a bit in the vid lol.

EVO report: Being able to switch between an ELB and the VXN, is wonderful!
After six uses, I'm ready to clean my VXN... I'm thinking the standard PBW quick wash/rinse I do the ELBs in would work fine.
I've told you. Stop calling me Shirley!

I actually agree with you. To the people who were complaining that they wanted another VXN to ship for free, well, I think you should have just told them, no, you have to order again. Problem solved. And then, people can order 1, 2, 10, 30, whatever they want. I have no idea why anyone would assume if you buy something once, the next time you buy something you won't have to pay for the shipping. I have never heard of that in my life.
Anyhow, that's just my 2 cents. I have no access to concentrates anyway, so it doesn't matter to me.

What happened in detail with your heater and was there any damage done?

you mean like overheating?
I still feel reset-able bimetallic switches would be a good feature SM

Thermal protection
When an appliance overheats, there is the potential for a fire to ignite. A bimetal switch is designed to reduce this danger significantly. As soon as temperatures reach a dangerous range, the heat source or the appliance will shut off. This is an important feature for appliances like cars, ovens, furnaces, clothes dryers, hair dryers and more.
Most appliances that utilize a thermal switch have resetting properties. When the appliance resets itself, its snap action response returns to normal as soon as the high temperatures return to normal. This safety feature is reliable, dependable and affordable. A thermostat with a bimetal switch can either be reset, or you can buy a preset switch through the manufacturer.
tldr: would love to see mechanical auto shut off feature for overheating

Yup. Everything started scorching. I know this happened with some units a while back, but I've had this one for many months. Need a new battery for my IR thermometer to check the exact level of overheating.
No idea. This just happened last night and I have submitted a ticket this morning. Though this unit has been dropped in the past, it has not been dropped or bumped since last week, and I use it every day. So it seems no physical trauma caused it.

My mother-in-law started to experience overheating. She would get a SOLID red light and no matter what it would never go green. Pretty sure it was running on MAX. Turning the knob did nothing and the bamboo glowed orange after I did some testing and left it on for 10 min. This is a USA unit.
Sent back in to be looked at this week. I will report back when we figure out whats going on.

What do you mean by "Everything started scorching"? Do you mean the herb in the ELB, or the unit itself, like the plastic part up by the GonG?
Are you in the US, or international?
I don't recall any US units having the runaway heating the international units were experiencing. Where the whole bamboo would glow molten, and the unit would start to smoke.
If you're just talking about the herb is getting scorched, that sounds like a cracked bamboo. Try plugging one end and blowing in the other. If it's good to go, there won't be a leak.
Sounds like you cracked the bamboo when you dropped it, the crack just didn't go all the way through until now. The successive heating/coolings since then probably finished the job for you.
All's not lost though. It's only $88 to get the bamboo replaced, and it's a very quick turnaround.

The vapables are all scorching. Tried 4 different strains that normally need different temps to produce visible vapor, all spewing white vapor and scorching after one pull.
However, the bamboo is not getting glowing hot, nor is the light staying red. It's just getting crazy hot.
I'm a US Early Bird. Already had the bamboo replaced once due to cracking from a drop. Turnaround time for me was incredibly quick, as I live in Maryland (repair was done in PA).
