Just bought it off eBay.

It's about as long as a pen, it came with an electric grinder, battery, sample herbs, cleaning kit, and some whips.

This is my first vaporizer and overall i'm happy with it. It doesn't smell like much and the taste is a lot better than smoking. Heats up in about 1.5 mins. There was a plastic taste initially but after multiple uses it's gone or not as strong. Produces a visible vapor when inhaling but never burns the bud. The digital temp display is very helpful. I get 20-40 pulls out of it before I'm done smoking and depending on the quality of the bud is I'm usually pretty nice. Smoking time is about 10-15 mins.

Pros:

Portable, concealable, easy to use, effective

Cons:

Battery separate from unit, small chamber (only fits about .4), hard to inhale if it's full, not really suitable for multiple people

Yeah, I just got on too. What heat do you use yours at? And how full do you pack it?

...I also found it really good for multiple people, it's like a "vape joint" in the sense of pass of puff puff pass.

I have to say this is a new way of smoking I really like it . I could not wait to get home for UPS open package and pluged it in heated it up to 378 in about 2 min . Then threw a pinch of some purple in and hmmmmm no caugh tasted a plasticy taste witch went away since hit it about 4-6 times and let me say clean more energy then normal and baked hahaha but really not that dopy tired feeling it was just different. This is the first time I smoked this way and let me tell I dont think I will be smoking any other way. God bless all I give this product a 9:thumbsup:

First thing to do with the Mini is run it wide open for 15-20 minutes. Burn in, so to speak. And careful with the battery. It's the same type my Vapolution uses. It's easy to screw up the electrical connection where the flimsy cable attaches to the battery pack. It's not that it's poor workmanship or design, it's just not designed to be used on an external pack that you can't attach to the unit it's running.

The portability and ease of hiding it from prying eyes garners high marks for this puppy.

Until something better comes along, this is a good one.:thumbsup:

I heat it up to 375 ...

takes a couple minutes.. the battery pack seemed to last a good long time. But the way I use it.. heat it up, take a hit or two and turn it off.. it lasts a good 6 +sessions.. With heavier users, mileage my vary.

very effective unit...

how much pot do yal usually put in? and do you exhale vapor after every hit? oh, and is there still thc in a hit if visible vapor cannot be seen when exhaled?

Usually pack it in to the top, not too tight..proably .3-.5. I stop hitting it after 20 minutes, by that time usually there is no more or very little vapor visibile.

They probably don't appreciate posting the same message in multiple threads.

i figure id throw in my .02, through trial and error:

1. plug in, turn up the heat to 350-360 depending on the nature of my herb (wet, dry)
2. wait until the unit is completely heated and THEN add your herb mixture. This is probably one of the most important steps. If you leave the herb in there while its warming up, you could see how there might be loss of vapors/materials. NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT FINELY BREAK/GRIND YOUR MIXTURE, IT WILL NOT WORK AS EFFICIENTLY
3. fill up the "bowl" about 1/2 or 3/4 making sure to pack it down witht he stick thats included
4. give it a few seconds with the top on and start inhaling

obviously long drawn out rips work more efficiently than short bursts of vapor. Mine had a plasticky taste to it the first couple of times, but i guess youre supposed to run the unit on full heat a couple of times for 10 minutes each to burn it in

get the car adapter, fucking brilliant

How much do those run, I've been looking to get a handheld vape for a while now. Also could someone post a pic of one if possible, thanks!

$125 w/battery pack. Get it on eBay and you can get a free grinder with it. Just search for vapir mini.

a little secret is that if you buy from them through their ebay store, they dont charge you for shipping and im pretty sure they throw in goodies as well


sorry for the shitty iphone pics:

well, i got my mini about a week ago. i've used it a few times and so far i'm underwhelmed. i like to use VERY small amounts, 3-4 hits does me just fine. vaping such small amounts doesn't seem to work real good. i tried with enough for about 10 hits, and it worked a lot better.

actually i like my low budget light bulb better than the high tech mini, smoking even more so.

not sure this is allowed on the forum but anyway. this mini i bought is just about new, still tastes like plastic. (and on that subject, you probably inhale more toxins from the plastic out gassing, than by just smokin' the weed.) so i don't think this is my thing. anyone wants to buy this near new vaporizer, it's yours for 75 bucks, including shipping. comes with vaporizer,power supply,rechargable battery pack and charger.

let me know if you're interested.

I'm not a huge fan of the oxygen mini either. It does taste plastic-y sometimes, but unfortunately there are not that many portable vapes around. I think it might be the best one around.

Here's a video of it (http://vapenow.com/blog/2008/05/vapir-oxygen-o2-mini-vaporizer-video.html)

The plastic shell will produce an odor at first, especially if you don't run it awhile at max temp to 'burn it in', but at no time does the plastic get hot enough to release toxic chemicals.
