Sorry for the late reply but my internet wasn't working well this last few days, happy to see a lot of first positive feedback but sad there is so many sick menbers.
@PPN With an Ace is on the way and I have never had a 18650 powered vape is there a recommended charging method considering that I do have not a external charger? I want to do some burn offs but not sure how to clean the other parts. I assume metal and ceramic can go in ISO and the silicon goes in soapy water. Or is this all covered in the manual?
There is a built in charger, so you can charge the device using a usb cord. Like usual some burn offs are recommanded although I didn't noticed any bad smell with my unit.
Hello gentlemen!
I just received my Ace unit. I haven´t used it yet, still doing burnoffs. Build quality seems pretty good for a medium range vape, the unit seems easy to clean and sturdy.
Airpath is great! Fully isolated, I can even see through the airpath so that is a big yes for this unit. The unloading spring seems well built too as well as the mouthpiece. The silicone in the mouthpiece has surprised me because how little it smells, of the vapes I own this is the one with less silicone residual smell so another big yes for this unit. Also, the included samsung 18650 its a really good quality one.
Unfortunately there is a lot of silicone in the cooling chamber, even if the silicone is very high grade and has no taste I still prefer glass or metal. Also, the wooden finish of my unit is extremely fake. It feels more like synthetic leather and the design pattern and color does not replicate wood very well. Also, the unit gets quite warm during burnoffs and so does the mouthpiece. I can´t tell if it is unconfortable or not until I actually use it, but at max temp it gets quite hot.
Will update in a few days with photographs and an actual review!
Glad you seems rather happy. About the silicone in the vaporpath, I agree this is annoying, I suggested them a full glass and ceramic/zirconium vaporpath... maybe that will comes as an accessorie or included in the basic package I can't say for now... The finish... when I saw most of winners choosed the woodgrain fake finish I was afraid it didn't look as nice as on the pics. I'll report your impressions, good and bad!
My only concern is the moving oven floor. There is a visable gap all the way round. Can you clean underneath? I think herb particles can fall underneath for sure. Also the chamber is quite large. Was thinking glass beads as a spacer? Then i would have to deal with hot glass when emptying. Hmmmm
That's nice you appreciate the building quality, I always found TopGreen to provide quality vapes, that's why I accepted to work with them! I was also concerned about particles falling under that sliding bottom screen and they replied me you can dismantle the bottom screen to get a fully cleaning access. How? Using the long brush you can pop it up... it's not mentionned in the user guide and, to be honnest, when I tried I was afraid to break something since it need a lot of stentgh to pull it out... and afraid to be unable to replace it. I will try again on my unit cause I don't want you to break something in any case... and report later.
Mine just arrived! I've developed a sinus infection that seems to be damping my immune system enough that I'm developing bronchitis, too (Damn, Spring!), so I'll have to wait a week or two before I get to use it
But I've opened everything and done a few burn offs. Like everyone said, the silicon has no smells, which I'm happy about. The oven is HUGE, though, like pretty freaking deep. I tried what another member mentioned and wrapped a rubber band around it to see if it could hold it in place, but I think mine wasn't strong enough. I'll try a few more things when I'm actually able to use it after I recover.
Hi, take time and cure yourself
@rnartian , it seems a few members are sick... fuckin hot winter! Not enough cold to kill all that virus&bacteria! Yes the bowl is pretty large although we will provide a bowl reducer. You can try a mesh pad or anything else which fits and heat resistant (glass, quartz, ceramic and stainless steel). I use myself a ceramic filter from another vape.
Used the Ace last night and I got high as fuck. If fully loaded and packed this device gives very nice clouds and strong effects.
It takes a lot of herb but one load lasted me 2 hours of use inbetween matches while playing overwatch. I started at 190ºc with very good taste and went up to 230ºc. Once it stopped producing clouds i stirred it by pushing the chamber up and refilling, very convenient! I got a few more clouds until it was totally spent.
I got surprised by vapor smoothness, this thing delivers quite fresh clouds and the taste is very good for a conduction unit. It was my first usage post burnoffs and I didn´t notice any foreign taste which surprised me.
Also boost mode is not only for concentrates! I put in a micro load at 255c and got 3 very nice clouds, no combustion.
Overall pretty good conduction vape so far, with one of the best airpaths of any unit out there.
That's a good feedback! Yes vapor is pretty smooth and I didn't got that baked taste even at +210°C.
Have fun and keep loading your Ace!
That's my parent's view as well; winter was too hot, so we're all getting sicker!
, yes good idea!
