Problems with vape pens. Expert Needed

[dogster]

Coupla questions. Humboldt vape tech. Phone is disconnected and didn't answer emails. No more biz with them.must be a stoner in moms garage somewhere. Nice piece, bad biz.

Got the cloud connoisseur, no instructions, nada. Emailed them and they promptly responded. Still not enough for this dummy.

They said to fill the metal thing to the top with the red beads, place inside coil. Then got confusing, something about it turning on around 500 degrees and it will go down to vaping temp....I guess they assume everyone is born knowing how to work it.

I'm not vaping anything at 500....

Ok put the beads in slide the coil on and screw it together.
Don't crush the beads leave a little room for heat expansion.
Turn on to 500 for 15 minutes to make sure any oils are burned off then turn down to your set temp.
I set mine at 450 remember that's not the actual air temp its the coil itself the thermocouple reads.
Think of it more as a setting on a dial than any temperature.
Try it and adjust setting up or down as needed.

That makes perfect sense. Maybe if I had followed along on the fuckcombustion site I would have been better prepared. Now let's put this beech into action!

yep That Dog is a good dude
I pegged him as soon as he got here.

you do know what pegging is in the alternate life style...

Move on to anal massage and anal fingering. "Most anuses need to be eased into being penetrated," Finn says. "Start on the outside of the butt, massaging the ring of muscles around the anus ...

Turned on, heating up, yes some smokey vapor is burning off

 

[Bubba]

Stopped fuming, turned down to 451...now to load this thing I suppose it has to cool down first, right? I am assuming the metal arm is HOT.hum, it went up from 451 to 566, now going back down, guess I better let it ride a bit. I think I put the coil on upside down...

 

[Bubba]

Here we go

 

[Bubba]

Down to 453....now 451, 440, 430
That arm, at least the end piece isn't hot, seems to have settled at 443 or so, now edging back up....to 451

I see a set button. When pressed everything zeros out. The only other buttons adjust I suppose.

This thing hits strong!

Sounds a lot like what you would do for a less experienced woman, start gentle with her and slowly work her way to bigger and better things.
This Pegging thing you speak of I have never heard of or have no expertise as you have.
Thank You, I am always in search of new knowledge to put in my bank .

I am not sure what pid box he shipped you a pic of it would help me help you.
Takes some playing to get right glad you got it fingered out.
Sadly vaporizers are still a niche thing and havent made any mainstream adjustments like directions though there are some youtube videos out.

I looked at you tube, but they all want you to sign up and so forth to prove age...

Rubbing alcohol on a Q tip work great for cleaning the contacts.

Pens just.............suck.

If using carts you just got to make sure the device (battery) supports the old style bottom air flow and the watts/volts can go low enough. Whole lot easier when we start talking about "tanks". Most are top airflow and like way more power. You can get around the bottom air flow with a cheap $5 adapter. That adapter will also help keep oil out of the devices connection. If it gets gummed up just toss it in some ethanol or Iso.

I got a SX Mini 60watt, a Dovpo DNA250C and a Jak Vapour DNA75 but there are TONS of cheaper 40-50watt mods out there that will fire up concentrate like crazy. My big boy runs dual 21700 Mocell batteries so its will handle anything i throw at it. Machined out of air raft grade aluminum too CRYSTAL PRO MAX 4015. Great for home use but sucks for out and about.

I bought a cartridge at the dispensary and it seemed to fail. I tried it on my Puffoco plus battery and an e-Leaf iStick which indicated "Lo". I decided to use a tiny pair of pliers to fiddle around with the battery contact. I popped it out and put it back in. It almost appears to be better seated than it was. The cartridge now works just fine. Is it common for cartridges to be faulty like this? I definitely didn't turn/twist it too hard. Just curious about other's experiences. I'm glad it works though. Thanks.

I've never encountered an issue like that. I go through a good amount of carts too. I stick with live resin from select, timeless, and jeeter and I only buy them when they go on sale BOGO.

These are the ones I use

Dealing with issues like that can be super frustrating, I feel you. It's a bummer when vape pens and cartridges don't seem to hold up as expected. The spinning part on the purple one and the blinking lights on the orange ones sound like major headaches. It's especially frustrating when you're trying to enjoy your vape, and it just won't cooperate.

If you're on the hunt for some expert advice or solutions, you might want to consider checking out the Voom Pro Pod Set from Voom. It's always helpful to explore different options, especially when you're dealing with issues like yours.

 

[WeedHopper]

The ones I use above work great.

All these vape pens fail with less than a year of use. The purple one the part that the cartridge screws into is spinning when I tried to screw in the cartridge. The two oranges ones all the lights blink when I press the button for a hit. One the Yocan pens the light will flash green when I press the button to vape. The long pen will no longer charge. The light on the charger stay green instead of red when it is suppose to charge.

I have a couple of cartridges that won't vape. One cartridge isn't recognized by the pen. The other the pen recognize but it won't vape.

So,

Just started using a vape after smoking for nearly 10-11 years, long time, around 15 per day £80-100 per week spent on smoking, just want to give it in.

The problem I have is that my friends have been on vapes for 5 years + I do not want to end up like this, I am currently on 6mg of nicotine and will push my self per month to get my self down from 6 to 3 then 1. Ie, a maximum time of 6 months to be on this thing.

How has it been for everyone to quit smoking the vape? I've always heard of people being addicted to smoking vape once they have finished smoking - has anyone got any personal experience of quitting smoking, then quitting the vape?

Cold turkey worked best for me with both cigarettes and vaping. Quitting vaping was easier but I am not the stress case I was when I quit smoking so that could be part of it.
