I have missed not having my second unit for this reason, that battery wrap is fragile at the best of times no matter who the manufacturer.
Wireless charging on the next model please!
The V3 was not to my smoking (tobacco and pot) friends liking so I will have it back soon, I will give him an Ace or some other conduction vape to try next. He may circle back around to the V3 if I get him off combustion and his lungs and taste buds recover enough to appreciate the cool convection goodness on offer here.
That's interesting, fair enough too. There is probably some variance in how it's packed, but maybe mostly in flower and grind. BCG fine was better than SLX 2.0 (just saw a photo of the MFLB finishing grinder, forgot about that I will have to track mine down to try it) both SLX/BCG worked well with a range of different amounts in the V3 when I tried. I guess it doesn't blast through large amounts too quickly which can limit the amount it slaps. It's not a freight train hit, and for a cone fiend on a level, it might take some getting accustomed to, like vaping generally does.
My experience was a bit different, the V3 got a lot of immediate praise from those that tried it (further happy remarks as time went on and the effects set in) for a while it was chasing joints round the circle but the V3 was said to be preferred and gradually took over. It worked pretty awesome like this with the glass mouthpiece, everyone was getting big and effortless clouds, noting the fruity flavour of our usual widow and then being super happy with the result. It's likely the same stuff everyone normally had, white widow, but they were asking about it like it was top shelf. Actually it was all little bottom bag buds so far from the Cola, very nice though, I get looked after well. Different temps were all pretty rewarding too.
Overall I really like these things. Glad I picked one up, and now have ordered another unit and some glass adapters.
I'll have to take a look at the battery holder and wrap situation. Didn't seem to bother me, better to have the powerful spring and ample clamping force then a cell that is easier to handle, always need to be careful so having to be is fine. So far I found it really simple with the magnetic attachments and the ribbon pull tag release.
The only thing I don't like here are some of the material choices, a little unfortunate for sure.
I would like a premium version free of plastic and siloxane. At least with the current design most of that could be alleviated with a better Mouthpiece design, although it's hard to get that necessary seal with other methods beyond threading. It's not too bad one could only guess, not as flavoursome as inflating a party balloon, you know that chemical flavour.. barely there is still there. Get that cheap material solution fixed, and this is a huge winner of a product.
I don't recall tasting anything from the glass mouthpiece but it has the same sealing gasket interface (not air sealed in box so able to breathe in transit), it's probably not much of a concern but it's hard to tell how much energy is sinking into it.
I didn't mean to buy the glass mouthpiece, the photo on the site was of both it and the WPA but I only saw the WPA which is what I was waiting for before purchase.
Ultimately glad I got onto it earlier, and glad I got the Glass Mouthpiece too.
This thing is what I've been waiting for, a solid convection vape priced right and performing well.
