How did you manage to get yours at 384.99 @Shit Snacks ? Or is that without shipping?
$399.99 EVO Kit + 10% off Stickstones code, + $25 each for shipping + tax. Mine was a hair over 400, like $405? Less I missed a code lol, it's worth the $20 extra just not sure how you guys got to that. Probably missing something obvious
As for the "imperfect" tubes Stickstones was selling, I hadn't bought one yet but I am eyeing one up, and can confirm that the price seemed super fair.
here a link to the post with the list

............................................................................Or that SSG hydraline sure seems neat, looks like it has an ice catch? Anyone have that piece? Not sure if it has the lower spash guard like the new ones.
Hmmm, we were both in on the original big blow out sale through end of October right? With stickstones' code mine came to $360 (10% off $400) then $25 for shipping... Don't think I had any tax.
Is there a list of the tubes available somewhere? Or only by request?
Well my EVO arrived this morning. I'm unwrapping it right now as I write this review. The first impression is quite negative. The Vapexhale box is made from cheap, thin cardboard with low resolution print. I would not call it awful but definitely not he kind you would expect for a premium product. Furthermore the box was dusty and battered around the edges. No seals of any kind. If I had bought this product as a gift I'd say the packaging is unpresentable.
As soon as I took the unit itself into my hands I was blown away from how cheap and low quality it looks. The plastic is low grade, hard and raw (not polished or glossy). Basically the plastic has no finishing what so ever. It looks like the plastic was moulded into the forms screwed together and that's it. The "Vapexhale" logo is barely visible because there are some whitish particles around it. Looks like someone was tampering with it with some smooth sandpaper or something. Basically the whole unit does not have this " brand new thing" appearance and feeling. Some devil inside me whispers that it may be some refurbished unit sold as new.
The unit is very very light. Feels like there is not much inside. And this is bearing in mind that the power cord is massive like taken from some last generation electric kettles or PC's which means big PS unit inside the vaporiser. I don't say that the light weight is a bad thing or some major flaw. I do understand that the modern technologies tend to be smaller in size and weight but nevertheless it makes the product look even cheaper.
Hawing said all this I don't feel like a proud owner of the best desktop vaporiser on the market. In fact I'm sure that if I showed this thing to my friends and say that I paid £269 on Black Friday sale for it, they would think that I'm loosing my edge and going crazy. This "made in the USA" product definitely looks like made in China and not even now, but in 1990's. I think that majority of experienced people would say it's a £30 - £50 quid product no more.
However I have bought it not because of how it looks (it's not a woman for God's sake) but because many people say that it works well, delivers good dense vapour and is a hitter. Since I'm a bit suspicious that this may be refurbished item sold as new I'm hesitating to give it a test. The "vapefiend" terms and conditions say something like: if you are not fully satisfied with the product you may return it within 30 days if not used. It's a bit funny. How can I know if I's fully satisfied without using it at least once? If it works as majority of people say it does then the looks of it become less relevant. I have no intentions to marry EVO but to get high from it.
So the main reason for this wall of text is to find out if they all look the same way as mine? What do you EVO owners have to say? Has anyone had this impression that your just unwrapped EVO does not look sparkling new? Shall I give it a try or send it back for a exchange? I'we also noticed following this thread that there are different versions of EVO for US and Europe and also older and improved versions. Does anyone know how to tell the difference?

Its not supposed to be pretty it's the nature of the plastic they use. Fire that thing up and take some fat rips, you'll forget all about looks and If you put the sleeve on you don't have to see it.Well my EVO arrived this morning.

@stickstones Sure I will do it. Will try to get some at least half decent greens and see what it can do.
I think this only indicates how small and niche market is this and how
exaggerated is
this "war on drugs". If there was a demand for herb vaporisers like for lets say kitchen appliances, I'm sure EVO would sell for £50-£60 .
I also understand that I'm a bit on a picky side because I develop, manufacture and sell physical products myself and am quite familiar with the processes, costs, etc.. We aim for high demand products and try to upscale them to a premium level and we always have to go an extra mile or two to give them this "extra premium look and feel". Maybe I just have to calm down and look at the EVO through average consumer's eyes.
Have noticed somewhere in this thread that US an EU units have somehow different temp. settings. So European friends, what are your sweet spots for herbs? Any tips on using this thing with mouthpiece only?
First off, I need to say that this statement "However I have bought it not because of how it looks (it's not a woman for God's sake)" is kind of mildly misogynistic and offensive, just FYI.
@twosilvertrees , your comment has been noted. Yes, I agree the "women" bit was out of order. Maybe I should have put "prostitute" instead. My problem here is that English is not my first and not even second language and I often struggle expressing myself the way I want to.
All this wall of text in my post can be summed into this: dusty, battered box, kinda scratchy unit base around the top and the on/off switch made me wander if the unit is truly new. Test it and risk the return option or not? That's it.
Do I think the product is overpriced before I used it? Yes. But this is a very niche product and I'm sure I'd done the same if I was Vapexhale's CEO.
But if it functions at least close to what majority of users testify I will forget the looks, packaging, plastic and maybe my own name
p.s. but anyways the base unit does not have this "made in the USA" look and feel. My Apple Macbook Pro has, my nephew's Tesla has and even my old Magic Flight Box .
Just taken advantage of Vapefiend's sale and grabbed 5 more glass nails for £40, that's more like it.
With regards to Vapefiend's ethics, I don't think he's sell a 2nd unit as new, that's just not his style.
Me too.I had a Hydraline and I loved the bong mouthpiece. I loved that piece and I wish I hadn't sold it.

Got an EU unit with a turbine HT from Vapefiend, before any sales payed nearly £500 for it. Opened it and was suprised at how small and light it was.Well my EVO arrived this morning.
