Please help with my Iolite!!!

doesnt "vapor" = the moisture + active ingredients + plant essence of the herb?

from my experience, dry buds do not produce as pleasant an experience as moist herbs.

It could also be because the iolite has no temperature control so youre just vaping at god knows what temperature.

I would avoid the iolite at all costs. All the effort that goes into using the unit is not returned in delicious vapes.

Buyer beware

Water content vaporizes before the active compounds. Moist herb just means it take longer to vape, since the moisture has to go first.

No temp control? I think a fixed temp qualifies as a temp control.

I've owned and used an iolite since Vaporstore started taking pre-orders in the fall of '08. Haven't had any problems (although it's not as reliable as simpler models), and I've thoroughly enjoyed mine for portable use.

I think the iolite is pretty steady at 220 c.

190. You won't find a fixed temp vape that's set much higher than that.

Wow. I wasn't even close. I guess with that short of a draw- at 220 the iolite would blister your tongue!

Adding vape tubing is very popular with the iolite. Some on-line dealers started including a length of tubing with every unit. I use the mouthpiece extension at least, and a short piece of tubing as well, unless I misplace it, which seems to be a frequent occurance. Tubing can greatly improve the stealth aspect too.

using the iolite does take a lil practice, but once it's achieved I'm sure you will find it very willing to be an excellent source for you. I had to get used to mine, and here's the only thing I can pass along. Use decent butane fuel, I use Zippo here and so far's served me well, did at first get some expensive stuff from the Headshop, but it failed on me quickly and nothing more aggravating than not having the right equipment for a good toke session. Supposedly I think there is a moisture chamber included in the iolite, whether it's there to keep it moist or to absorb I'm not so sure, I can't read the handbook it came with, fine print and all that's my problem, wonder if anyone else had that problem?. i let it heat up a cycle or two and use the extension (for stealth it's good). I can taste it but don't get any residue to exhale, but have noticed once it's going well, and if a person draws on it long, there is some exhaled breath? or?. Gets a good buzz going for me, and i chose the portable because igniting my herb wasn't healthful for my lungs anymore....my kids said...'mom you're just gonna have to quit'...and i'm like....'ah not in your life time or mine' lol

'nother thing, before i actually read thru the instructions that i could read lol, i realized that i didn't have to keep clicking it to light, it stayed lit or lit up after just a click or two....but i was anxious and wanted to 'get right on it'

peace and hope all's well
