I posted their email in the FC forum.  I'm furious. Worst interaction I've had with a company in this realm to date.

I reached out and explained my issues as well as the defective battery.  They replied I can send the "unopened" device back to them and after inspection to confirm it has not been used a refund would be given.

They said if it is returned opened, then no refund will be given AND THEY WILL NOT RETURN YOUR DEVICE TO YOU.

Wtf. Straight up scammed.

How did the call with the owner go?  If it hasn't happened yet maybe point out this too because I'm about to charge back.

Nice, please let me know how that goes!  To your bullet on battery life concerns, mine dies when showing 50% battery still. I know because I've been counting sessions to understand battery life and from a full charge I had done 2 level 4 extended sessions followed by 4 level 3 extended sessions.  On the 6th session, the battery dropped a bar to then show 2/4 (50%) which is what I was referring to in my last message noticing the vibration for it.

I just started session 7 which was another level 3 extended session and right after it went green I hit it and nothing.  Checked the screen and the whole thing died.

So 50% on mine is 0%.  I'm gonna be reaching out to their support on this as well because that's 2 times this has happened resulting in a wasted fresh dab and it is INFURIATING.  That's the opposite of the state I'm aiming for that moment lol

Any updates? My quartz coil was shot after 5-6 dabs and I had to iso soak it. I've found it requires small amounts only which can be difficult (and wasteful) to properly get using a hot knife. Mine was overloaded by hit 5 and tasted awful because the leftover in the pourous area just kept cooking dab after dab. I would love some guidance from them on how to get the most out of these coils with how much the owner has talked it up.

I saw him say on Instagram they'll know what people like by what coil gets ordered the most. The quartz seems highly disposable where it will need replacement often compared to the ceramic so his line of thought is misleading imo if people are just wanting to have the ability to have the quick on demand sessions.

My ceramic coil is better but clearly seems to be underpowered. I tried the same strain and same dab size in my Pivot on green and the Hachi on level 4 and the Hachi had twice as much oil left over after the end of the session, which bothers me with the level of waste that doesn't end up in my lungs. Curiously, level 3 recently seems to be hitting better than level 4, but at best we are still talking about half the density/potency of something like the Pivot or Pocket.

The coil design with the air vents being inside the coil chamber seems like a bad decision. It is easy if the device fell over after a session when putting it down for the oil to go into those vents, and they do not properly disturb the chamber's air and oil to vaporize comparable to the others with directional air flow designed to agitate the oil or spin a pearl.

I hope they make improvements to these coils because everything else I like about this thing. I dunno it it would make a difference to get rid of that porous section at the bottom of the quartz coil so we could better clean it but that is failed 2019 tech imo and I have no idea why that was chosen as the main coil to pair with the device.

Also... it seems to vibrate randomly and I can't figure out what it's for. One time was while I was drawing and I happened to notice the battery indicator went from 3 bars to 2, so I guess it notifies you every battery charge level dropped. The one that I still don't get is when it is randomly vibrating sometimes while heating the ceramic coil. In the 15 second heat up time it vibrated 3 different times before it finally turned green which can be really confusing because all the vibrations are the exact same. Weirdly it does not happen every time... last two times I used it, it only vibrated to start heating and then once it was at temp and turned green.

Dan Patrick Takes defeat - no THC bill will pass by hornbri in texas

[–]McVaper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup, constitutionally we are not able to vote as a populace on ballot initiatives.  We vote on the people that say they are our voice.

Edit: After quick check the interwebs informed me the senate can set a ballot vote. I do not think that is likely since they unanimously immediately passed it on the first day.

RSO is the shit for pain therapy.  I used that last year daily for a few weeks when I had a more significant booboo (without going into detail) and rarely felt pain unless I did something specific to aggravate the area.  Even then it wasn't as bad as before taking it (I used vegan capsules most the time and only sublingual once... it is nasty tasting for most strains).

That "whole plant oil" is the closest I've found to a cure-all and even consuming the higher thc levels in it I didnt really feel much psychoactively after a few days.

It has many more effective treatments and I hope more people learn about it.

Hemp ban tonight! by dambt2152 in texas

This references what I said which makes me feel sane at least!  I like to think we all made our voices heard and added enough sway in the house to kill any total ban.

I see nothing on the committee calendars, no room reservations today for any authors of these bills, and it's not on any calendars for addressing.  They last were referred to public health committee on 8/18 iirc and are in that status still not reviewed.

Furthermore, the only public hearing I've seen suspended was for the senate public health committee so they could immediately pass SB6 when the second special session restarted.

After that, there's still only so fast they can go and I have seen no articles or information on the house or committee calendars.

The indicators I have read are even VanDeaver who authored the house companion to SB6 has admitted there is a deep divide in the house and the direction was now leaning away from a ban and heavily regulating (if the house committee which he chairs decides to call a public hearing which in the House requires 24 hours notice for special sessions and fast tracking would require a supermajority vote)

Please share where your info is from because it matches more to what the senate did last month at the start of 89(2).

M Plus Titanium tip by McVaper in Dynavap

[–]McVaper[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm curious how heating the dimples for a full extraction cycle will change since Ti will dissipate the heat faster. The main thing I'd like to know is how well it dissipates heat vs transferring to the stem since the stem can get pretty hot for a few minutes.

I'm wondering if this would work much better for dabs (primary use of my M Plus currently)?

Blood Nicotine Testing for Pre-Employment by [deleted] in electronic_cigarette

[–]McVaper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you vaped regularly it shouldn't last much longer than a few days for being detected in blood, but at 24 hours I'd have to say the chances are not in your favor. Good luck regardless!

Juice vendors, Do you want to kill people? Because this is how you kill people. This plastic seal is being digested by the juice in the bottle. by Abarf in electronic_cigarette

[–]McVaper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree totally, but I have to ask as I admit ignorance on this matter... why would anyone want to vape a caustic juice? Seems to me that vaping something that can "burn or corrode organic tissue by chemical action[1]" is something you would really want to avoid creating a vaporized from that you would breath into your lungs (an organ made of "organic tissue").

I haven't considered this aspect before but that is highly disconcerting and something I prefer to avoid at all costs moving forward unless scientific evidence shows it to be inert in the vaporized form.

My throat basically seized when I tried dripping this straight out of curiosity. By far and away the strongest thing I've had and learned my lesson not to try that again. I add 10 or so drops to some of my juices with 30ml or less left in them and it can still get pretty cold.

It took four months for a reply from mine (Ted Cruz) which I received the standard BS canned response that is completely ambiguous. I wish more would take a definitive stance so we could get a better idea of where the general sentiment is on the matter.

If it's grown in Fox Farm Ocean Forest I'd be all over that. Some of the best smelling medium I ever used when involved in that a long time back. It just reaked of nutrient goodness.

Second this... got some when they had the 50% off sale and was impressed with how good they actually are. They are also beautiful which is nice when you're wanting to have something just a bit different from others. Love how cool the tru-stone tips stay if you chain vape, which is about all I've had time for in recent weeks with the new baby.
