Seriously, if you love your Vapman now, don't hesitate when the stations are available.I sure don't regret that Station purchase one bit. Really great complement to the Vapman. Here's hoping the new generation isn't too far off.
I did a little editing on my first photo that brightened it a bit, it is also outside. The second picture is inside in soft lighting.Why the kotibe is so dramatically different in 3 different photos? From what i see on their website it seems like a much more darker brown like the second photo…and not the red-ish brown i see in the other two
Just wait'll you do it again! ; )I've been to the point of buying two different models of the same vape. There's a first time for everything after all...
Man I was planning on buying the new station with the last mica walnut maybe I should buy the last pure now to go with it later…Seriously, if you love your Vapman now, don't hesitate when the stations are available.
It won't be there later, even if the station might be! ; )maybe I should buy the last pure now to go with it later
Do you agree about the performance of the pure on the station better? I understand it’s subjectiveIt won't be there later, even if the station might be! ; )

It is subjective, I'm sure. It does seem like my pure walnut heats a slight bit more aggressively than the pear or olive and it is a lighter, less dense wood than either. On the other hand, my Kotibe is heavier than the pear but lighter than the olive and has the mica, but it heats noticeably faster/hotter than any of the others. I get like half the number of hits per bowl, and they are BIG for a vapman. Oddly, none of them stand out as faster/more aggressive with the torch.Do you agree about the performance of the pure on the station better? I understand it’s subjective
The guys are apparently pursuing suppliers but they seem adamant that they will make it happen...soon...Is the station coming back?
my first (my only) vapman is one with the mica shield. it has hardly been 4 months since i got this, already i am tempted by some of the pure custom vapmans. then i remembered this picture a page back (which made me wince a little)Not a deal killer: the new improvements mostly better protect the device, but with mica it shouldn't matter.
is this about representative charring with the current pure ones? maybe i should wait getting one of the a real pretty ones until the station is an option again.
sounds like fate intervening.Slight pref for Pure on the Station
Eh that’s my vapman that’s making you wince!!! Lol what exactly is the issue.my first (my only) vapman is one with the mica shield. it has hardly been 4 months since i got this, already i am tempted by some of the pure custom vapmans. then i remembered this picture a page back (which made me wince a little)

i really would like a station. do station owners here prefer the station over the torch? or just appreciate the variety? i feel a little relieved that i was already excited at the prospect of its re-release before coming across this real pretty custom vapman too nice to char - buying a station in order to buy another vapman would seem wonky reasoning. but tbh, buying another vapman b/c it is pretty is a little wonky in itself. vapman acquisition syndrome is no joke.
Buy a station to buy a station. It is worth it in its own right (with a vapman, of course ; ))buying a station in order to buy another vapman would seem wonky reasoning
I mostly appreciate the variety. Is the station better? Yes. Sort of. To be honest, it's like a Dynavap IH: you don't need one and the torch provides its own precision and joys, but the station, like an IH, makes it simple and consistent. But it's so well calibrated that it is a unique experience in its own right, and I think many will say it's better. Really it's more distinctly two different experiences than even a DV with torch v. IH.do station owners here prefer the station over the torch? or just appreciate the variety?
sorry i have no problems with charring on my current classic. just sth i have been wondering about since i saw this real nice pure vapman i want and dont need.Eh that’s my vapman that’s making you wince!!! Lol what exactly is the issue.
If you’re worried about char marks get the og classic, the mica rides up higher.
perfect explanation, thanksI mostly appreciate the variety. Is the station better? Yes. Sort of.

consistency is what would sell me a station on day one for me. After 5 months I still find myself combusting from time to time…mostly when I’m tired and it’s lateyou don't need one and the torch provides its own precision and joys, but the station, like an IH, makes it simple and consistent.
Oh really, I’ve yet to burn da herb and I can get pretty overzealous with the flame as pointed out in my pics. Maybe it’s all that time with a sticky brick and you can sense the burn coming….consistency is what would sell me a station on day one for me.

It's consistent! But how you use it matters, too. I think many people would like to sit and roast their way through a bowl, and it's interesting how the heat builds, the hits get larger, the flavor lasts surprisingly long before it tapers, and then you notice you've taken many more hits than you expected, and you are quite stoned and feeling the unique signature of the VM/Station!consistency is what would sell me a station on day one for me.

I surprise myself every once in awhile; I've never really burned one, but I have definitely taken it too far!Oh really, I’ve yet to burn da herb and I can get pretty overzealous with the flame as pointed out in my pics.

Ok now the hype is real...I'm all in for long lasting flavorIt's consistent! But how you use it matters, too.

And that's another cool thing: you can turn it way down, and while it seems whispy at first, you will really build surprising hits and the flavor suffers less. It's sort of uncanny.Ok now the hype is real...I'm all in for long lasting flavor
Lol watch I buy a vapman for a station and they don’t release itAnd that's another cool thing: you can turn it way down, and while it seems whispy at first, you will really build surprising hits and the flavor suffers less. It's sort of uncanny.
The upside is...that's no tragedy at all! : )Lol watch I buy a vapman for a station and they don’t release it
Which version would you suggest? An og walnut or the kotibè one? pure or classic? I currently own the new model in olive wood… I’m not saying i will surely buy it…I’m just evaluating my options
