nothing happening with this device?
It's a pretty new device and not so much persons get the Tunke at the moment. I think more user's feedbacks will raise up soon.
For infos I used my Tunke intensively, 20 loads on the same atty, dry use but I loaded the water tank today for tests, I'll let you know!
I used the Xmax Tunke without water cause the vapor is pretty smooth, it's surprising cause it's smooth even on the hotter settings! The taste is slightly less intense for the first draws than compared with others wax devices but... it last for longer and I never got that "fouled" taste you can get when all the terps are gone. So if the pic taste level is lower, the taste conservation is better.
Although after the 20 dabs I loaded in I decided to clean it (taste was still good surprisingly)... and I was stocked to notice the huge reclaim's amount in the metal downstem/plunger.... This is explain why the taste is still good despite I loaded 20 dabs on the same atty, the reclaim doesn't sit in the atty and it's not re-heated every time you are using your Tunke... cause it drips down under the atty by passing through the bottom 510 pin (3mm wide). Basically it's a sort of self-cleaning atomizer!
For sure, at some point the atty will need deep cleaning or replacement (10$ I believe). I tried a iso cleaning by throwing some iso in the bucket with the atty sitting upright on a plate (flat surface is important), the iso will sit in the cup until you level up the atty in order to let the dirty iso to drip down through the bottom pin, I repeat the process until the iso doesn't seems to be anymore coloured by reclaim disolved in. After I let the atty to dry out in a vented area for a few hours I screwed it back on the Tunke and proceed to a max temp burn-off. To be honnest I wasn't able to get the quartz fritted pad back to the white brand new condition, so I believe they will need replacement at some point.
I was a little sceptical when I saw it for the first time, for sure taste isn't the best but the taste conservation all over the session and the atomizer's longlife is awesome. By some aspects it reminds me my trusty&beloved Hercules by W9...
The device could be improved, I suggest a "reclaim catcher" chamber below the atomizer cause reclaim tends to drips down in the water tank, as well I would like to know if users enjoy the heat settings...? Personnaly I would appreciate to level up slightly this settings. As well nothing prevent the water to go in the atty if, by mistake, somebody blows in the device or if the device is tipped. Last, what do you think about a "cleaning heat setting"? higher T° may be able to get the quartz fritted pad back to its white condition (sadly you can't pair it with a Mod Box in order to do that cleaning, 510 is... 510 but it's shorter and central positive pin doesn't make contact).
Really, the tiny Tunke impress (not so tiny in fact, it's 43.50*24.60*127.60mm, but "tinytunke" sounds so good
).
