I could not wait until it arrived to share these photos.

I commissioned Alyson Khelek41girl KGWoodcrafts to make me a custom VapCap stem — The Rogue Wax Works

Awesome job Alyson!

Rogue.....you got the "cannagar" of vapcaps now..... :ok:

I could not wait until it arrived to share these photos.

I commissioned Alyson @Khelek41girl KGWoodcrafts to make me a custom Vapcap stem. I wanted to incorporate elements and colors from my logo. I wanted a group of three like the Anelli stem and the three hexagons in my logo and I wanted a hexagonal section. This is the stem she designed and crafted for me. I could not be more happy or impressed. It’s stunning!

From Alyson: In total, there are exactly 21 pieces to this stem including the Mouthpiece. It includes a stainless steel lining, 4 pieces of brass, 6 pieces of aluminum, 3 pieces of Osage Orange, 4 pieces of Gabon Ebony, 1 piece of custom Acrylic, and 2 pieces of Bog Oak.

The acrylic was hand made by @pegasus_pipe_co

While there are other amazing custom stem makers, I’m so happy that I reached out to Alyson to do this project. She was so easy to work with and extremely open and flexible as I suggested minor changes during the design phase.

I can’t wait to load a cap full and put this work of art through its paces.

terp slurpin Rum Punch in the #10 Beta G......mornings are so enjoyable this way!

Dating in the age of COVID. And gosh, just to think that back in the day we objected to condoms as being a lack of intimacy. hahaha

@Baron23 I appreciate the humor much more than the misinformation and idiotic conspiracy theories.

Laughter is the best medicine....unless you get COVID. Then I hear putting a piece of ginger up your butt will cure you.

Now, I have been posting some slight humor...and some attempts at slight humor that probably were not (haha)....but I don't want anyone to think that I'm cavalier about the virus nor do I want to give the impression to others that its alright to be cavalier about this epidemic.

I am and have been complying with directions to stay the fuck inside. I have gloves and masks for when I go into the grocery (old painter's masks I had in the garage for 10 years....too funny, every time I breath with one on I fog my glasses!! hahaha).

I am 67, have had three MI's and have awful family cardiac genetics, and like many of us I'm def one of the people for whom this would be really bad.

But, if I do catch it and die from it in a month, I'll be fucked if I spend the last month of my life sitting in worry and anxiety and wringing my hands about something I can do no more to effect.

If we don't laugh, we'll cry and I prefer laughter, personally.

THE BIG SCORE!



Check out lady in the grocer told me that if I wanted even a chance to get some home paper products, to be at the store at 7am!! Well, I was 40 minutes late and scored the last package of TP. haha

This was more exciting than scoring a pound of Afghan hashish in 1971!! LOL

No "Muffin", but, I do have Blueberry Kush, lol !
One week behind the Jack Herer as far as flipping, look even as far as maturity.

The arrival of this.!

You said:

99% of the cases a CaronaVirus's hands to the face said, the Head Doctor, NYC Hospitals — Bruce

I am asking where is the source material of this claim. A link. 99% caused by hand to face contact sounds like utter bullshit to me.

I also put zero stock in heresay so if you had Dr. Fauci in your car it would mean nothing unless he was on record: a video or a print interview. Too much baloney still being probogated.

Thanks!

Kinda for the women on this one, but I have been watching “ Little Fires Everywhere “ on HULU. as Izzy is my Niece irl. She plays Reece Witherspoon’s daughter.

AND....can we think of anything going on in these time that may have had an effect?

Anything at all?

Jack Herer clone — okla68m

I like Jack......you like jack......even bud likes jack.....we all like jack....jack it up! (sorry...im dabbing)

nice...looking good!

:ok:

Getting close, Saturday was 7 weeks since flip.

Having good friends that you've never physically met :pray:

Just look at the numbers and think what makes sense.
It is spreading very fast and easily so it does not die by it self in 10 min. And it is killing thousands and not only young people. I don't believe this will be the end for us but for those that believe the BS undermining this pandemic situation will get ill and might die or get others killed.
Just take care and listen only to verified professionals and not tweeters YouTubers or influencers, because they don't know more than you do about it.
There are official webs where you can check, and even those I would contrast with others from other countries that have been fighting this for longer

Hey VL!

I've been working on a base for the Rio for an embarrassing amount of time. I was really struggling with the very precise measurements required to hold the glass and torch securely.

After 2-3 months of trial and error, I think I solved it and am able to replicate the base pretty easily now thank goodness.







I hope everyone is safe and calm during these messed up times.

That's me on the right! hahaha

Hanging out with Chewbacca the Mighty Toy Fox Terrier in my 70’s room, vapin on my Mighty for me.

Part 2

Other comments

• Temperature – Vivant has listed the temps as “green means 600℉，yellow means 625F, red means 650℉. I have no idea what these temps represent but it certainly cannot be the air temp as it directly impacts the load or it would combust, no? I agree with OF that temps in a full convection vape are meaningless without data on the airflow. With the Volcano, because they have a constant rate of air flow, they can indeed calculate air temp as it hits the oven…but airflow from direct in-breathing, no. So, take these numbers with a grain of salt. To me, Red (all I found useable for me) felt like about a 385F temp but WTF really knows.
• The short bottle brush included in the accessories is a much wider diameter than the oven. Yes, this is a definitely a nit but what they need to include is one of the small bottle brushes that come with most other portables. This brush is not fit for purpose.
• The manual says that to change temperature, just press the button twice. This is not really accurate. The first time you double press you get returned the current temp and it does not change temp on that action. You need to double press again to start cycling through the temps.

All in all, this is IMO a very good budget vape dry flower offering from Vivant. The only change I would be insistent upon is replacement of the silicone air cooler assembly with something NOT silicone in the air path and that is much better secured in the cap.

Part 1 - Bud, our character count limit is too damn small! haha

I received a VLeaF GO to evaluate but I’m a bit late to the party with my observations. My attention has simply been elsewhere due to well…the obvious. I did not take and post any pictures as there are good pictures on Vivant's website (see below for direct link).

Also, Vivant gave me a discount code of “stephen20” to offer to others. Insofar as this is a $69.99 vape, with 20% off that's basically $56. Great price point.

For more info, see Vivant’s site….it’s pretty informative.

Who am I
I believe that some knowledge of the reviewer is germane to understanding the review and the reviewer’s perspective and values. I’m 67, first used cannabis over 50 years ago but it was not very prevalent for most of the middle of my life as I pursue career and family. Starting 12 years ago with a back injury and surgery, I began use cannabis for medical reasons (pain relief and sedation) and when my state’s program opened up, I became a bona fide medical patient. This is pretty key to my POV. I vape almost exclusively at night, at home, and with hard hitting desktops to kill pain and let me get some sleep. I like it fast and strong.

I am retired now but was a professional nitpicker! Haha For most of my career, I work as an engineer/project manager/program manager in aviation and technical products industries. The general approach was to pick all nits and get them on a list, then later prioritize which need to be fixed and which we and our customers could live with. So, this is my picked nits list (haha...not really too much to complain about).

What this vape is to me
My first impression was that this was intended to be a lower cost, full convection, budget, pocketable, fairly stealth vape and that this is the market niche the GO is aimed at.

This vape will be selling for $70 which is a very, very good price.

Now, I’m not wealthy but I am comfortably retired and if I want a vape bad enough, I have the means to purchase it. So, in general this is not a vape I would normally pursue personally because, as I have mentioned, I’m mostly an at home on a desktop at night vaporists.

But it does kind of remind me of my Healthy Rips Fury 2 as far as market placement. The GO is much less expensive but also does not have an LED display or single digit temp setting resolution.

What I liked

• I do like the basic shape and that it is indeed pretty stealthy. That’s not a characteristic important to me, but I do know it is for many others.
• I LOVE the little scooper on the end of the oven. It’s just a simple, great idea that nobody had before and it makes it very easy to scoop up a load out of a grinder or container.
• I like that Vivant included a spare chamber and spare air cooler, mesh screen, and retaining ring. This is good.
• I really like that the scoop assembly comes out and that it and the chamber can be easily cleaned or replaced. This also provides access to the embedded heater element which is also removable and replaceable. This access allows the heater to be blown out with compressed air or the like to remove dust and particulates. Not sure why you would need to replace the entire heating element assembly except in case of failure.
• The vapor was surprisingly good. I had very modest expectations but I found it to be a pretty decent vapor producer. Not great, but pretty good. First draw was thin but that’s common and after than it was warmed up and the vapor was good. I’m not going to say “thick” as my basis for that is the FlowerPot/EVO/G43 type desktops. But rather good for an inexpensive, portable, full convection device. I was happy. Now, understand I ran it on Red constantly. Green and Yellow temps were just too cool for my tastes.
• I like the extension on the cap to settle down or stir your load.
• It’s fairly easy to use. In general, I hate “one button to bind them all” type designs. Drives me crazy. But, Vivant did a pretty good job. Five clicks for on/off, one to see batt level, two to cycle through temps.
• I did not use session mode as I just don’t see this as a desirable mode for a full convection portable. Others, who want to put it through a WP, may value this feature. But again, to me this is an on-the-go stealthy portable and I personally would not view it as a vape engine for a water rig (as I do view the Grasshopper…when working haha)
• I did use the on-demand mode and it worked well. Seemed to heat up fast with no real delay before I began my draw. I did not delay starting my draw any longer than it took to push the button and bring it to my mouth. I did not do any preheating. I did find that this vape, as is common with convection portables, does benefit from a long slow draw. Long and slow and the vapor is good.
• While I have more short USB charging cables from vapes than I know what to do with, Vivant did include one and I liked that it was fabric coated and not the really crappy vinyl feeling insulators on the wire.
• I did not find the mouthpiece to get too hot. Bit warm, but not hot. But then again I do hit a Grasshopper natively from time to time! Haha

What I did not like

• The air cooler assembly (the silicon piece, the mesh screen, and the retaining ring). Look, I don’t mind a plastic mouthpiece. I know that there are all kinds of plastics and, unlike some of the more material focused FC members, I don’t mind good quality, proper plastic. The shell of the cap is not problem at all to me. But there is this silicon air cooler right above the oven and I suspect that many people are NOT going to like silicon in the air path. I have found that the air cooler in my unit is easily displaced (as it in ain’t hard for it to fall off of the plastic nipple from the cap on which it’s loosely press fitted) and it’s a pain in the butt to get it and the ring/mesh seated back in the cap shell. Twice so far I have opened the cap and found the retaining ring and mesh pulled off of the air cooler and stuck to the oven. I used a set of hemostats…but that or needle nose pliers are what’s needed to get it back in there and fully seated unless you have very small and nimble fingers. I just don’t like this design at all. The cap is fine. The air cooler is less than fit for purpose, IMO. I would like very much to see this design changed.
• While I like the cap, I don’t believe it is secured well enough to be pocketable. I think you need something a bit more robust than an o-ring press fit. It will, IMO, fall off when in your pocket.
• The temp LEDs are…well, kind of muddy colored. The yellow looks a lot reddish, the red is kind of dim, they are not nearly as good of colors as the batt indicator Green or Red for example. Small stuff but it’s a nit picking list.
• I did not use the silicon mouth piece condom. As mentioned, the mouthpiece just didn’t get that hot and I’m very temperature sensitive. I’m really surprised that Vivant chose to put this in the kit. Hopper Labs received unending grief over their silicon condom along the lines of “why do I need a condom on my damn vape” and “its silicon, gets completely grungy, and I won’t soak silicon in ISO”. IMO, it’s not needed and it’s just waving a red flag at a bull. If it was me, I would dump it from the kit.
