A glowing element is fine depending on the material, the mighty and the firefly are very different from each other and this... Mighty has plenty of aluminum which people have problems with, you can have second thoughts about everything! But yes you chose to stick with the budget line, where flavor does not shine, this is a big part of why we suggest spending money on the top tier options, tinymight etc, for me vapor quality is the biggest factor. But you cannot argue with the convenience the fog offers!
To be fair i got the mighty+ with the ceramic coating...i didn't buy the OG mighty for that specific reason. But i get the point...it's just overwhelming the amount of attention you have to have with commercial vapes. One would suppose that every vape that gets legally sold is also legitimately safe....but that's not the case

Fog Pro owners that also have a Argo(@Robert-in-YEG) try a Argo stem/wpa works great. Did a stem @ 395*F in about 5 long hard pulls started pulling @ 300 , tasted best bowl yet. Used a silicone o-ring to reduce cold air into around the stem, but probably not necessary. I thought it worked better than the Fury2 stem in the V3Pro ala @LesPlenty more heat I suspect.

As attractive as the XMax V3 Pro is, I refuse to buy it because of the very unfortunate decision to use Kanthal
I would be surprised if the element is not Kanthal like the V3 Pro as they are made by the same people in the same factory, I thought I read somewhere they shared the same heater.
The idea is to document answers to these type of questions, as well as provide a reference point for this device
Where they will never be seen again. :lol:

How much Kanthal is dangerous? Should i stop using it?

I just enjoyed a 10 minute session with Strawberry Glue in the Fog Pro, and it was pretty decent. The temp was at 409F, there was great flavour for about half, but still enough goodness to finish the bowl.

Now I am going to do the same in the V3 Pro.

I don't want to make any big comparisons, but i prefer the V3 much more and get a lot more steam with it.
Even if the effect in the fog pro is quite ok, the vapor production in the fog pro is disappointing to me compared .
Maybe it's just because I don't even come close to full filling the herb chamber and it's just a little too big for me.
Reducing the chamber with a screen brought no improvement for me.

I don't want to directly compare either, but is 'discuss' a better word?

There was a time where I was able to enjoy fresh apples right from the tree. I liked them all, some a bit less than others though. The people I was with would talk about the various apples as I tasted them. This is kind of the same.

I enjoy both; it is NOT a competition. I am just sharing my effects, today.

Tomorrow, maybe, I will experience something different.

I can't compare them...but i really am impressed with this little thing. Today i started at very low temps (150C/300F) and the Fog Pro is capable of producing clouds even at low temp. From 150C to 160C flavor is really nice. i can take 5/6 tasty hits and clouds are there...not thick obviously but i'm happy i can enjoy flavor with a good amount of vapor at that temp, slowing the extraction rate.

At 170/180C (340/350F) it does produce thicker clouds, but there it's were flavor starts to fade off

Another good point it's the airflow: nicely open, very low effort

Yes it is…it’s a little bit bigger. I don’t own an OG fog but it is written in the description of the vape
It might be a little bit bigger. I have both. They are close in size. The Fog Pro tastes so much better, I haven't used the Original Fog for a while. It wasn't a vape I used much. The Fog Pro gets used daily.

After I check, I will post again....

Can you use it for microdosing?

It is deeper than the original Fog. They are similar, very similar, but the ovens are not exact.

I don't microdose, so I cannot tell you. When I don't seek psychoactive effects, I turn down the temperature, slow down, and focus on the ritual. I use cannabis for medical reasons, but I also enjoy the effects. Slowing down and focusing on the ritual provides stress relieving benefits, I remain productive, and I don't get over medicated.

Cannabis is personal, just like vaping. I have a high tolerance, and no matter how intense the effects, within 60 minutes, I am quite functional; within 90 minutes, I am back to normal. I am not saying I am normal, but rather I am back to my normal. Whether it is medical or recreational, please talk to your doctor or trusted medical health professional.

Back to the Fog Pro, just pack less in the bowl and see if you like the results. I have packed the Fog Pro as tight as I can with ground herb. I have used small nugs and just about every other way of getting herb into the oven. It just seems to work. Yes, sometimes it works better than other times, but I really don't notice.

There is power in ritual.

Fiddling around trying a lot different things with Fog Pro.

Stuff that fits in the bowl, the gold cap doesn’t fit just showing off new arrival of my new cuff links maybe.
Nano glass, Evo basket, give you bowl diameter, Arizer dome screen used for bowl reducer(not bad convenient), filled a extra Fog Pro filter/screen cap as a micro dose cap herb facing down in use. Worked ok, got like 2 good pulls @ 360*F.

HR Fierce mesh cap in the bowl with it’s top as a screen/filter, the top won’t fit in bowl on the cap. I never had a Fierce but I’m thinking same bowl size, Tera is wider, but shallower bowl.
BA113BBA-877F-423E-A5CA-2CF6E7FA2092.jpeg

Used a silicone band to cover intake holes, only 1 of the 8 holes used. Tera mp screen used.
Here’s the result. 335*F excellent taste, not bad vapor once it got going, 360*F harsher than I expected.
Pulls 20-30 sec, 1st half light then hard.

Compared to OG filter which I’m not a fan of. I didn’t take a pic of it after use, but it clogs with resin and is completely covered in herb after a session.The Tera screen is as was after session a lot better, the Fierce cap top was similar.

FF7A7B95-A5CD-4F35-A1AF-6BA15174DAB5.jpeg

I thinking the Fog Pro is running hotter than indicated by 15-20*F, so the V3 Pro guys that wanted higher temp, here you go, but 428*F with one air hole gets you blackened bits in the avb and it’s very harsh, like running an Ace or Starry @ 445*F imo.
I’m actually disappointed as I was hoping for Rouge replacement with replaceable battery and this ain’t it, while good the Rogue is simple and convenient with great taste and performance the Fog Pro takes an effort to get there. I still not finished evaluating the Fog Pro and like every vape I have I’m gotta work to make perform in the best way possible or in a way I like.

I agree with you regarding temp precision. Another user mentioned the same thing some posts before. It would explain how I can obtain a good amount of vapor at 150C and why flavor gets consumed in one hit at 180C…something that I would expect at higher temps

Concerning the rogue though…that’s an hybrid vape…in terms of vapor production it surely can perform better giving there’s more conduction in play. I don’t know if I would compare this Fog to the Rogue

They are the same, both convection heaters with a metal bowl, you can call them both hybrid or any other vape with that design. HR say it’s uses convection heating technology.

“The Convection Technology of our ROGUE combines hot air convection heating with a slight amount of radiant heat giving you massive vapor production from the very first draw.”​

On all HR devices. So if you call them hybrid do the same for the Fog Pro then, it’s no different.
Convection heater heating a metal bowl because the hot air passes over it is slight conduction you call it hybrid.

yes it is but as far as i understood lurking on reddit though, there's an amount of conduction in play that gets your weed wasted when not inhaling...that's why i asked the very same thing for the fog pro. I don't own a Rogue and actually it was the very first vape i checked for, cause it was marketed as convection heating and i was almost sold on buying that one....but reddit changed my mind.

What is your experience with the Rogue?

Great I think is one the best vapes I own, very convienent, great taste(better than the V3Pro or Fog Pro) and big battery. I just don’t like the integrated battery which will probably be dead sometime next year. They should have kept the replaceable battery from the Fierce. It’s my main daily driver. Probably be buying another next BF unless they come out with something new.

I received my Fog Pro yesterday and have run a few bowls through it. I generally get two sessions from a bowl, and each session is 2-3 draws. I run at max temp (428 F).

My first session was pretty underwhelming. I got thin vapor and had to take more draws than usual to get the desired effects. I immediately started thinking that this one would sit in the drawer :(.

My second session was more satisfying, mainly because I modified my technique and got some pretty impressive clouds.

I had been using a technique similar to my technique for the V3Pro - priming with cigar puffs, then drawing at low to medium speed for 10-12 seconds. The mistake I made with the Fog Pro was not pulling hard enough throughout the process. When I upped my draw speed and strength the clouds started coming.

Last session I had the first hit was a big cloud and the second hit was a huge cloud.

All of my vapes require a different technique, and the Fog Pro is no exception.

If you are looking for a vape that can deliver clouds, this one delivered for me. It is technique dependent, but I know it can work.

The only thing I don't like about the Fog Pro is the wax cup; it is useless.

Don't vape shatter in the Fog Pro. It doesn't work worth a damn in a Flowermate either. This is not a fault of either. They are designed for dry herbs.

Cups don’t work, pads is the way to go or hemp fiber, even herb. Can be done I just haven’t did it yet, but there’s people that do. But really I have so many better ways to do concentrates without going through a more troublesome process with not as good return. You can do concentrates in almost anything from Sticky Brick to Ace to Splinter, where there is a will, there is a way, maybe not the Solo/Air stem type vapes.

The thing that I don't like about the Fog Pro is the mouthpiece. I don't mind the design of it from a functional standpoint, but I don't like the way it is attached to the unit. I thought that it would sort of lock into place when not in use, and would require some additional force to swing it open. But it just rotates 360 degrees freely, meaning that it can rotate to the open position unintentionally while you're handing the unit.

I would agree with you there. The mouthpiece is not solid, it wobbles, it sometimes comes out, and could have been better designed. With some stronger magnets and a rework of the mouthpiece would be wonderful. I would pay for a second or third top for the Fog Pro if available. The V3 Pro could use a better top too.

Despite the flaws, the Fog Pro is still my favourite convection vape.
