Wisp Vaporizer

[Abysmal Vapor]

CannaKorp Inc., a Massachusetts-based tech startup that aims to simplify and improve the herbal vaporizing experience for consumers, has launched the world’s first single-use pod vape for herbal consumption.

Looks is not very appealing to me,like a baby bottle warmer as invertedisdead said. I also dont like those pod idea cause they contribute to polution of oceans,at least the coffee pods do. Other than that it has a kitchen utility look,which can target a whole new line of customers.

What's up with the kitchen appliance trend lately? After the fancy water glass now the Nespresso canna-caps machine... doh!

They are going after the soccer mom market.

I agree but it is not 100% a bad thing.. More vapes = less smoking ,maybe... ? Also variety is great,just think about how many models espesso machines are there. I prefer the old italian heavy ones like LaSanMarco,while other do fine with their paper filters plastic machines.

Did you saw the Cona coffee machines? That's not new but it reminds me our glassware/vaporizer and it looks like a classy way to prepare coffee!

That's a siphon coffey brewer. You can still get modern versions. They are popular amoungst the coffe-snob-hipster crowd.

The issue I see with these machines and the suggested demographic is why wouldn’t this type of customer just buy an oil pen if a simple experience is the goal? When we’re talking prefilled pods were talking about a legal cannabis market, so availability isn’t an issue. An oil pen is ultra discrete, ultra portable, ultra compact, nothing to clean, with worlds better battery life than any dry herb device, and much more affordable for beginners to get into as they only have to invest in a cheap 510 battery. I also think it’s one thing to spend $20 on a proprietary battery for an oil pod, it’s another to spend hundreds ($300 according to one link I found for this Wisp) on a proprietary flower vape.

Wow. I somehow misspelled coffee twice in that last post.
That's embarrassing. Too late to fix it now though

Lost me at tech start up company. Would rather support the builders that are long term weed fans solving problems and making a better product, than a bunch of capitalists trying to make even more money.

I joined just to make this single comment. I won this wisp vaporizer at a customer appreciation day 2 years ago at a massachusetts dispensary. I thought it was wonderful but was disappointed that its a "single use" pod and they did not sell empty pods to fill on your own. Since it was a start up company, they sold the company and now the pods are no longer sold anywhere in Massachusetts or anywhere else. It's a door stop now. Completely unusable since you cant buy the pods. Company web site has been removed from the face of the internet. I don't see any complaints about this anywhere online. They were selling them for $149.00-$199.00. I think if they sold any of them there would be people online complaining about the fact they cant use them anymore. So I guess they didn't sell any? I'm about to toss mine out.

I am with ya weathered... not refillable/user fillable?? WTF. I am sure there will be less than 2 dispensaries in CA that will carry these pods. No one will have access to these pods, even in legal states. How short sighted.

I just ran into this thread and the “disposable” pods immediately killed it for me...makes me glad they’re gone before they could produce too many of them...but if you do decide to get rid of it, please consider offering it up on FC or elsewhere for someone who wants to take a shot at making their own pods for it instead of just tossing it.

...although if they put a “feature” into it that only lets it run if it recognizes their pods that could be difficult...do you know if that’s how it works or if someone with the right tools might be able to make pods easily enough?

There is a white colored circle on the bottom of the pods in a doughnut shape. When the original pod is heated the white turns brown. I've tried re-using the pods by using white nail polish to cover the brown and also tried several layers of white out. I managed to get the machine to operate and it goes through the cycle half way...then it fails to fill it up with vapor. I have one that is unused so I will come back later and upload a photo of it.

When I was searching last night on the net I saw another one that looks the same. Looks like the same exact thing but it has a different name but it looks like it was ran by the same guy. It was called Cannacloud. Sold them in Colorado.

Oh well no way for me to paste or upload a photo.

Upload your pic in a host website like postimage.org and copy the url and insert it using the "insert image" button. Use the direct link option.

I believe he is referring to

What you mean?? It's literally exactly the same; visually at least... The only difference between them is the "sleeve" inside the wisp, where the cannacloud there is none... Other than that, they are almost identical. Totally not into this and looks like a really non-enjoyable vape experience, imho, and seriously takes all the fun and ritual out the experience... Smh. But, if this makes vaping more acceptable to the masses, then I'm all for it. Us vape enthusiasts just will never want one.... Did I mention how you can't even know the quality of the herb your getting, and seriously looks like the wispiest, saddest performance...? I guess hence the name, lol....
