I've had the VB 2.0 for about a week now, using it daily to put it through its paces.
This thing absolutely rocks. I see the VB 2.0 easily being my daily driver because it addresses many of the things I've been looking for in a portable flower vape.
- nice load size (not too small, not too big for how much I prefer to load in a sesh)
- excellent flavor
- good battery life
- quick charge time
- temp control
- pass-through capability
- very few device issues
- easy to use (little to no learning curve)
- easy to clean
- easy to stir load (the stir tool is genius)
- easy on the eyes
Many other members have already said this, but I think it's worth reiterating- the VB 2.0 feels great in the hand. It weighs about the same as the solo; in other words, it has substance to it. The ergonomic design makes the VB 2.0 feel absolutely natural in your hand (kinda like a bottle of beer
).
I think that the stand is pretty darn cool. One detail on the stand reveals a lot about the thought that went into the design- the little peg at the back that holds the mouthpiece. The designers really put themselves in the user's shoes. Since you need to remove the mouthpiece in order to place the device on the stand, you need somewhere to put the mp. Otherwise, it can easily be misplaced; kiss that mp good-bye. So where to put it? On the stand, of course. Brilliant.
The fact that I can also vape waxes with it is ridiculously amazing. However, I'm not sure if I'm using the attachment properly. By that, I mean that I found a technique that works for me, but I'm wondering if there are better ones out there.
I followed the advice on the video and warmed it up before trying to insert the glass mouthpiece. The bummer part is that the sleeve ended up getting warm enough to get distorted when I tried to push down the mp.
My impression was that it was originally designed to be used two-handed, so I figured I could just hold the mp in place. Here's my current technique:
- crank it up to 5
- once it's properly warmed up, I drop a small dab (0.1 g or less) into bowl
- when the dab hits the floor of the bowl, it begins to vaporize almost instantly
- put glass mp in place
- use long, slow draw
- smile
The reason that I use such a small amount is that, if I use any more, a lot of vapor goes to waste. I try to load the bowl with just enough that I can take in one long breath. Otherwise, anything that's left continues to cook and precious vapor floats away.
How have you guys been using the eo attachment?
I currently don't have any of the wt's but, given how much the VB 2.0 has impressed me, I think I'll eventually get one.
There are a couple of areas I found the VB 2.0 to be lacking, but they are far from deal-breakers for me. For one, I wish it was more compact and, consequently, more stealth. However, seeing the dramatic size reduction from the first VB to the 2.0, I'm confident that the folks at VB are already on it.
One other small issue I've had is with the button; sometimes it doesn't immediately turn on when I press it. If that happens, I give it a quick double-click and it turns on, so no big deal.
But the most important question is, "Does it medicate?" I can confidently say yes, yes it does.
Although it doesn't produce billowy clouds (at least not how I use it), the evenly browned abv and pleasant head change show that extraction is taking place. I think that, like with the mflb, the thin vapor is easily absorbed by the lungs and less visible vapor is exhaled.
Unlike the mflb, the heating element stays warm when I stop hitting it and the load continues to cook, so some vapor is wasted in that respect.
One other anecdote- I had a friend get super stoned after only a single hit. Granted, he doesn't consume mj very often and I had loaded it with a delicious blend of Blue Cheese and kief, but still, you have to admit that getting baked off of one hit is an awesome thing.
With the VB 2.0 and Palm 2.0 (I desperately want one), the vaporblunt folks have really stepped up their game. I look forward to what else they have in the works.
