Damn 13.99 for the top cap plus shipping I assume was the email offer I was sent? I don't expect anything from vivant because I didn't buy this unit I was gifted it. I actually have 2 melted units. One on loan and one given to me. But my point is somebody bought these units and 13.99 for a cu that melted to begin with? I've already made a crafty mod one and I don't think I paid that much for the crafty one?? It's a good little vape but not sure about all the "extras".
Its all good.....I used a arizer dome screen....and iit all seems good.....
@Razshiro .....Is this new CU from DHGate different than the new one from Vivant ?

i totally disagree..im not talking about my unit that was gifted but it was boight and 13.99 would be ok for just a extra but not after they sold faulty crap to begin with.$14 is not at all a bad price for a CU. It's cheaper then the Crafty CU. And everyone who bought these legitimately are able to get a free replacement cap from Vivant or the retailer. Vivant took a while to get everything done, but they've done pretty much everything right in the end.
Vivant won't receive much if any money from Alternates purchased through DHGate/etc. They have the right to ask people who haven't supported their business thus far $14 for a replacement CU... imo.
Exactly, @Vivant i live in europe so if want a new mouthpiece i need to pay 13.99$ + 20$ shipping really? Any retailers in europe have this new Mouthpiece??
@PuffItUp Maybe you can do something for me if Vivant don't want to help and don't have retailers in europe , like selling the mouthpiece for a fair price

Well i don't ask @PuffItUp to stand behind the transaction, i just ask if they can sell me the new mouthpiece for a fair price , i don't want to pay 33$+ for a simple mouthpiece... Who ask nothing have nothing !!
I've never talked about "free" mouthpiece ... so re-read plz !!
Sometimes shit happen but it's manufacturer(warehouse?!) fault, not mine, to be honest i don't use my alternate anymore (even with the crafty cu) but living in Europe i would like to have access to this mouthpiece and not paid half of the price of one alternate for this!!
They have some authorized sellers in Europe, so why not have this mouthpiece available for sell there ?
And yeah sometimes cheap turns out to be expensive, not for my case (2x alternate for free )
I find it does work best when fully packed, however 60-90% full should suffice just fine. I received my unit yesterday, one thing I found is I will get essentially zero vapor unless the outside adjustable is open, preferably fully. My experience at least. Also if you aren't using the new mouthpiece, I would try to hold impressions until the new piece has arrived. It's night and day difference in taste especially. If you are experiencing that plastic taste and have the old mouthpiece, I would be able to suggest the old CU is the issue.Does the Alternate need to be fully packed to work properly? Mine is 80% full, medium grind, at370 with the airflow half open. I'm getting little vapor and a mostly plasticy taste.
If you bought it from them, they will send you one, but only if you let them know that they need to. I guarantee once they do get back to you, the CU will be on the way no questions asked. They see where the faults lie and they are doing everything in their power to not only admit those complications, but to fix the overall issue as well. Definitely a solid company.Im hoping to get CU from Vivant .....I dont know if they will send it to me or not....I did email them and messaged @Vivant of FB ....
I would like to have one.....just in case....seeing how I will probably never use the originals again. I sanded two crafty CU and I must say......they are very nice....the airzer dome topped fit and last night was very enjoyable. The Crafty mod is also alot cooler to the touch.
Total noob here, both to portable vaping and forums haha. Just chucking a comment here to remind me to have a more thorough look at the thread really, had a skim through last night and decided to buy the alternate today, can't wait for it to arrive! (:
Its a great little vape......now with the new cooling unit (mouth piece) ...all should be good...
I just started not so long ago also.......and now I have 4 vapes......2 Alternates.....a Fenix....and the almighty arizer air I love them all....
This has been my experience also.I find it does work best when fully packed, however 60-90% full should suffice just fine.
Welcome @Drummeryjam
Personally, I can't wait to have the CU replacement in my hands.
I love my M and I get super high with it, but there's something about a session vape like the Alternate (which is my only other vaporizer, until the HGL I odered is ready )...
I like the fact that it takes 10 or 15 minutes. I can sit back, relax and enjoy my flight
Maybe it has to do also with when and where you partake normally... I'm almost always home with my girlfriend, at night, with no rush whatsoever. I enjoy the journey just as much as the destination
All this to say that I think you're gonna be happy with your Alternate
Hey @jdent3 , No, the body of the Alternate was tested along with the top cap and the body passed all testing, therefore we did not make any material changes on the body of the Alternate. There has only been a total of 4 incidents up until today with factual proof with body cracking issues and this is simply a defect for those 4 devices. Thank you
