The station works between approx. 16V to 23V. Below this, it would be quite slow and above this, it will blow the fuse. A battery pack is well possible, friends of mine are already doing it.
Nice :), that makes it really easy 'rigging' something up - a simple and cheap solution might be a 18V 5A tool battery with a little DC meter as battery indicator...

Had the station at home for a few days, but sent it back. It`s really a beautiful device, looked so nice on my desk and the design and quality seem to be great, but in my opinion the max temperature is not high enough. I often vape hash using the concentrate screen. With the station, even at highest temperature, I was not able to extract the whole amount of THC. Get still quite some vapor using a lighter afterwards.

Perhaps you could change this at a 3.0 station and add some higher temperatures? Would buy one at once :)

guessing u are talking about european style hash (still too many variety factors)? - my method is to vape it a while on the concentrate screen like u do. But if i feel the vapour declines i dump it out, recrumble the hash and put it direct in the pan with the screen on top - it won't gump up much bc most of the oils are gone by then... Higher temps give imo only funky taste with hash :ko:

hmm, that sounds like quite a good idea. I put hash directly in the pan when I started using a Vapman. But I got more and more dirt/sediments (don`t find the right expression for this) which could`t be removed with iso or similar, only by scratching with a metal tool. So when I bought my second Vapman I only vaped hash with the concentrate screen to avoid this and not damaging the pan.

So im thinking about buying one of these badboys!

Anything i should be warned about?

Sure is, don't think one will be enough. Soon those other models will seem mighty attractive.......

Be sure you have good lighters available, and that means a backup? I suggest you order a couple of these:

http://www.dx.com/p/jet-1300-c-butane-lighter-1320#.Wlt3-RK8oWw

Same lighter, different sellers. Three bucks each shipped? Very useful and tough. I suggest one (or more?) from each seller to counter long ship times?

Awesome! Thank you for the info!

Quick question I can likely pick up a Arizer Air for maybe 100€ or so(auctions.
I love my butane vapes ß tough not in bus/train

I dislike my Mflb tbh maybe it’s technique
Would you think it’s a good idea to try the AIR??

Solo(I presume solo=air) +vapman make me stop combustion. I often thinking to sold my solo but it's always come back in my rotation. So efficient and different vapor signature.

@boon

So you had say grab that Arizer Air if price is ok and see how it goes ?
Other opinions?

WhIch price is ok for a Air in used but good condition, 1year old, with receipt, +2extra batteries?
(Or if someone knows what’s the going rate? I’m EUropean)

@Phenix I had an Air but I sold it after getting my first Vapman as I wasn't satisfied by the long heating time and the lack of stealth factor. If you plan to buy it for when isn't ok using a torch maybe you should look at something more discreet like the the Fury (or one of the several rebrands available) as it's smaller or a unit that looks like an ecig (like the Lynx Gaia).

Oups I forgot to say that I've changed the solo battery so heat time is reduce. I'm just saying I love my solo. I don't know if it feels your needs . Anyway back to the vapman. This days I've tried to decrease the heating time with my torch on my vapman as every body own a station says that it's a game changer. I really enjoy long cession. Full range tastes :tup:

Sorry for your loss. Somehow sounds like the card on funeral flowers? Guess this one was not meant to be. Keep your options open, though, Solo/Air is a superb format with a huge, well deserved following. A true 'tank' when it comes to survival. I own several, and use them often. The new ArGo also seems to offer promise, drawing on that 'family line'.

On the matter of fun 'gas powered' vapes, how about a nice VG? The big Bronze Sherlock, my favorite is a 'work of art' in a way like our little buddy, VM. Just the ticket for sitting and thinking deep thoughts. The long metal stem and big mass delivers cool hits. A real treat.

On the other end we have the options of 'huge clouds' not possible with vapes like VM and VC in that you can continue to input more and more heat as the it progresses. A real 'prove you're a man' potential. You're not locked into a 'heat quantum' problem like with others, it's analog not digital?

And you can press it right to the wall, like with VM, but 'on the fly'. I can look around and see two of 'em, both calling quietly......

anything can be, nothing has to be..

thats no problem losing a bid-war or something, options and chances pop out often.. in return I got a chance and picked up a PeliCase 1400 on the bay - I have to store my soon-to-be-here matrix sidecar somewhere in the end.. at 42€ shipped kinda cheap (and even has a piece-alike cutout so less work to do)

That vaporgenie Sherlock is really nice to look at.. makes me want to order one..
tough Im more the kind of guy who scores stuff used as in most cases I do not really see any difference in cosmetics for the least.


my "long-term" aquisation list contains
arizer air/solo2 (I want replacable batteries), mighty, Sticky Brick (im working on a DIY solution atm), omnivap

I cant wait finally getting all the parts together for my vapcap induction heater.. it got really nice comments.. lets see how badly I mess up :)

I would disagree about the Vapcap, IME it definitely has the huge cloud potential.

BTW I never considered buying a VG but I may give another look at their lineup.

I rarely get any big clouds with my Vapman.. only slight Clouds.

On the other hand vapcap does do clouds: the vaponic rules tough. Taste is really good, clouds are there for sure..

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough? It happens, but is unfortunate. Vapes like VC (or VM as normally used) take a small load through a 'cycle'. That is you store a variable, but limited, amount of energy to support the hit before it happens. That energy can only convert so much herb before it's exhausted, and a new cycle is needed. The load is calibrated accordingly, just enough/plenty for a hit or two?

As individuals we adjust the cycle to deliver the hit we want within those constraints.

Contrast that with VM on a WT where you can torch it as you hit? IMO no comparison. There is no heat limit, you can exhaust the entire load in a single hit if you have the lungs for it. Continuous production, not a cycle. VG is such a device, you continue to add heat as the hit progresses, the load is much bigger than VG or VC. There is basically no limit to vapor production due to 'heat quanta' (fixed amounts of heat per hit).

Same as some find putting the little fellow on a WT so you can add heat in process and 'really milk it'? That's standard fare on VG, but not VC? If 'limitless vapor production' interests you, I suggest considering VG, it has a lot of fans for just that reason. I think it, too, has a lot to offer users.
