i-Inhale, Anyone get one yet?

[t00fatt]

It's been out for a few weeks now. Has anyone tried this new portable vape? It looks very promising, just don't know how good the vapor is. I would love one of these for the boat. Ever since getting my herbalaire I can't even stand smoking anymore.

Yeah, I ordered one on 'pre-sale' at a reduced price and have been using it regularly for the last two weeks. It works well. Very stealth, although you do get a hissing noise during heating/reheating. It gives you Volatizer VM3 type size and stealth for $200 less. There's some good info and reviews here- I-inhale - 420 Magazine

Is the vapor comparable to the herbalaire when using it as a direct draw vape? I hope it's better but even if its the same I'm very interested. Does the temperature seem accurate to what they are claiming, 374f if I remember correctly. Also does it really last 2 hours on one fill up? Thanks for your help man!

You mean are the hits comparable? Vapor quality, after all, is just a matter of applying the right temp range. Opinions differ on the herbalAire hits from direct draw. I don't like it for direct hits. I think the 18 tiny inlet holes, which make the herbie so efficient, work against big volume hits. But I've heard some say they really like it for direct draw. It's definitely easier to get some big hits from the I-inhale (a short piece of tubing helps a lot, and Vaporstore is including a piece with their units), but some hits you have to take on faith unless you're in really good lighting to see vapor exhales. I find you get some good taste on the first hit or so. Temp is pretty accurate I believe. The color of the remains is a consistent brown. I haven't tested the 2 hr. run time, but if you're in doubt about how much fuel you have, just top it off before you go mobile. I think I've refilled it 3 times in two weeks, with daily use. Of course it all depends on how long it's on. My use tends to be in short bursts. Passing it around with 3-4 people and refilling bowls would drain the fuel supply much quicker.

I've done some research on butane prices, and the best price I've found is on Vector butane from cigarextras.com. They make high quality lighters and torches and the fuel is 5 times refined, so I trust the quality, and that site has the best price. Buying multiple cans really cuts the per can price, and it only costs an additional $1.50 in shipping to buy 12 cans (10.6 oz size too) vs. 4.

Overall, this little vape gives you VM3 size stealth at $200 less. Best buy by far in a portable pocket size vape IMO. I hope the company's experience with gas fueled tools carries over to this unit as far as making it a reliable vape long term.

I just got mine a couple days ago. I love it! As far as the noise from it heating, it isn't loud at all. But if being super-duper stealth is an issue, you can just put the unit in the carrying case while it is on and have the mouthpiece extended out of the zipper hole. That would make it extremely quiet. If you did that you could use it in a movie theater even during silent/quiet parts. :jointsmile:

The vapor hits are thick... especially if you let it heat up for 2-3 minutes (instead of the 45 seconds their site claims) and then draw long and slow. I can't really compare it to anything because the only other vaporizer I've ever used was a lightbulb vape. But this definitely puts that to absolute shame. I can't imagine a better vape. The hits are thick and pure, and the unit never burns the herb... just turns it all brown. People that have used the volcano and other top vapes say the hits are comparable.

You can turn it on and leave it in your pocket... go for a walk while it heats up, then just hit it whenever. No one is going to know what it is. I walked around my neighborhood with it the other day. I just pretended I was talking into it like a walkie talkie. I walked right by a cop car with the cop looking at me. I even hit the thing in front of him, pretending like I was chewing on the antenna. If you were worried you could put it in a McDonalds cup and extend the mouthpiece out the straw hole with some tubing or something.

For someone, like me, who really likes smoking outside... now he can vape. The possibilities are endless. Somebody deserves a nobel peace prize for inventing this thing.

I know Dopefiend has been pushing this trinket on his show.

I have an herbalaire which works great. This one looks like a nice piece of work.

Amazing little unit. It they were a hundred bucks cheaper they'd be all over the place.

I got one a few days ago (still £130 up till xmas on vapefiend). It's awesome. It's my fifth vape, including the Herbalaire and the Volcano, but this is now my favourite as I can LEAVE THE HOUSE with it. It's easy to start up, although as stated it does need a bit longer than 45 secs for a decent draw and it smokes (?) well.

It leaves the weed a golden brown like the Volcano as opposed to the dark brown 'nothing left' of the Herbalaire and it does the job.

It's a bit harder to pull on than the Herbalaire 'direct draw' (even with restrictor removed), but that's my only complaint even though a gas level view window would be nice.

I've used flame based portable vapes, but I've never got them truly smokeless. This is.

I don't know about leaving it in the case to warm up though as the guy above said, maybe a loose pocket but it does get hot. Not too hot to hold, but it makes a nice handwarmer in the cold (another plus) and I wouldn't be too sure about enclosing the heat in the case which is quite snug.

Did I mention that you can LEAVE THE HOUSE with it... :jointsmile:

It sounds nice but the PD sounds nicer, and is $100 cheaper. For me at least when I leave the house I will be in either in a car or boat so a power source is no biggie. Either way I gotta get my self something for christmas.
