Calling all VaporBros users
    #10406414 - 05/27/09 08:20 AM (14 years, 9 months ago)

I got mine today and it appears to have arrived broken.. Does anyone know how the customer service is or if its possible to fix? Ive contacted them but its still like 7am in SF where there located. I know there are some VB users here so someone might know something..

The glass tube holding the heating element, has a white paddle-pop stick looking thing in the middle which im guessing is the 'natural element heater' thingy. There is a chunk out of the side of the thing that rattles around inside. Im guessing this is the problem? Also the tube turned bright red hot when i first turned it on which i didnt expect..

ALso i know a volcano is better, before anyone jumps in with that :tongue:

goddamn i wanna vape!

Its this thing-

Hm, for one do not turn the heat up to more than 12 Oclock, you will burn the weed, the tube and your lungs. As for rattling, its not the best, but as long as the connector (the side that hits the heat) is solid you should be fine. I have a chip of class in mine and its been there for awhile, but it doesn't affect the smoking. A Volcano may be better, but I don't need to be any higher than my VaperBros gets me.

yeah i followed all the instructions and only turned the knob to 12 to start with, left it for 5 minutes but no heat. i tried using it but the herbs didnt dry out at all and felt it after i had drawn and the herbs werent even warm? I tried turning it up and waiting longer but still nothing, not even heat eminating from the element..

The chip is in the part running up the centre of the glass tube not the glass itself.. I dont know if you have the one with the 'natural mineral heating element', but it looks like a horizontal paddle pop stick running down the middle that has the grate thingy at the end..ill try to find a better pic..

I got a digital Chinese knock off, these things are fucking king man. Sure the volcano is an 11 out of 10 but these little fuckers are 9.5 out of 10 and absolutely amazing. Dude, if you can get yours dialed in, prepared to get fuuuucccckkkkkeeeddddd up.

Something inside is jiggling or the glass piece where the screen goes is jiggling? Most smoke shop carry replace glass pieces if that's whats fucking you up.

nah its this weird heating element.. its a thin piece of ceramic that runs up the middle that i guess is what heats the thing up. I think you can only get them from the VaporBros people..

Actually i just got an email back saying they will get me a replacement asap. Didnt mention about sending it back either.. Maybe i can fix it and have 2 :laugh: Pretty impressed with the speedy service though

Does it heat it up and work? (I'm looking at my wood box vape right now trying to figure out what you're talking abut)

it doesnt heat up at all.. i tried it with the herbs that came in the pack, left it on for 5 mins at 12, tried to draw - got nothing felt the herbs and they didnt even get warmed up. Tried again at full and still nothing.. Ended up leaving it for 20 mins on full and there is still no heat. Im guessing the glass with the heating element inside is meant to get hot but it stays cool to the touch no evidence of any heat :sherlock:

yeah, i agree. Its got to be good but its really not worth it. Especially since in aus it costs about 750$ to get one. There is only one authorised seller in Australia too :frown:. Last time i looked at vaps, the VB unit was around 300 bucks or something like that so i went with a Vapir 5.0 thing for 150$ which is actually really good for gatherings etc but not good for using by yourself when you';re trying to relax. The fan inside is so fucking loud by the end of one bowl you're ears are ringing.. Like when you've been on a shitty tin boat for too long :sad:

well the company i got it frm have sent an email to the VB people who will get back to me on how theyre going to handle this. Likely im going to have to pay for shipping to send it back and get the new one sent, making it 3 times i paid the shipping fee.. fuck i hate DOA products..:mad2:

Dude as much as I love the Volcano, it's not $500 better than my Dodo vape (which is fucking kingly) I'm not trying to pick a fight. I'll say the Volcano is without a doubt better but my Vape is nearly as good for about $90.

Dude maybe there's another switch on your box? You said it sounds like something broke inside, like how intense is the rattling? Also maybe there's another switch on it somewhere? My digital vape has two switches on it. One to turn on the power and one to turn on the heat. Maybe yours does too?

I own one.  Rattling noises and red hot anythings were not included with my purchase.  Give their customer service some hell.

Too bad yours came busted.  You'll love it once you get the hang of it.  There's a teeny bit of a learning curve.  It's not a party machine like the volcano; you have to have some one on one time with it to get the hang of the proper technique.  Anybody who uses it after you will scorch the bud.  And scorched weed tastes baaaad.

If you can bitch hard enough and try to get a digital one too. Digital makes all the difference in the world with these wood box ones (you never burn your shit and it's always top notch) where I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about the analog ones.

Just a thought :shrug:

Digital output on most of these machines are simply representations of a knob.  None measure the air temp going out, simply the temp of the element.

Yeah, that's my biggest beef.  So much gestimation going on when trying to dial it in.  I'd love one with a digi gauge.  Since their is nothing being oxidized, the harder you suck wouldn't ratchet up the temp, right?  If anything, the air rushing by would lower the temp?  Or am I off base here?

Whenever I hit my vape the temp on the digi display zooms down (it's actually kind of a fun game to see who can get it to drop the lowest... it's been dubbed the Vape Olympics... traditionally you start at 420 (although that burns the pot, the optimal setting on mine is at around 330-350) and get as long as you can. My record is 129 and the vape's world record is someone managed to get it into all zeros (where it went so far down the digi display stopped reading) and it's a sport I actually like to particpate in because it gets you fucking :vaped:) but the digi display doesn't seem to matter as you can hit it constantly despite the temp swings without much noticeable drop in the quality of hits.

Dude i was agreeing with Rocker about the not worth an extra 400$ thing, not picking a fight with anyone :lol:

Yeah i read a review where someone hooked up the heating element somehow to a thermometer and the temp dips when you draw hard enough. Wait it was either that or the Vaportower one. Ive read so many reviews its all getting mixed up ..

lol well i just found that model vap (not the vaporbros but the knock off you have with the digital display) and it was only 50 bucks AUd. So cheap that i ordered the thing. :shrug: Now ill have 2 of basically the same thing but i dont care. If one breaks i can maybe harvest parts of the other or sell one i dunno..

It will probably get here before the replacement does anyway, plus i like the digital part of it.

Im a fucking idiot. A deadset retard. I know why it fucked up. Voltage too high. In Aus we have 220-240V power at the outlet, where the vape uses 110-120V... I had it plugged in with a normal US to AU connector, without a step-down transformer, so the thing has overheated and something has fried inside. And i only figured out what was causing it after i plugged in my second unit, and fried that. :kingcrankey: Lucky the second one was just a cheap piece o crud.

Anyway maybe ill stop someone else from making the same mistake by posting my exp, no matter how dumb it was.. :facepalm:


Is there anything to be done with these units i have? I now have 2 fried vapes. My spider senses tell me that it would only be a fuse or something reasonably easy to fix, but i dont know. Anyone have any ideas?

it did make a funky smell when i turned on the Chinese version.. I looked inside and there is chunks of glue everywhere in it, doesnt look too healthy. There is none of that stuff in the VB one, just glass the ceramic bit and wood :smile:
