I-Inhale - any reviews?

[BlackBeauty]

The I-Inhale looks like a nifty, portable solution (apart from the similar iPod look):

Anyone got any first-hand experience with it?

[TexasToker]

Good find BB! At first glance this thing looks pretty badass but after even after reading everything I am still a little bit confused on how it exactly works. I would love to hear a hands on review of this thing!

Here is a weird video of an alien using one, he makes it look pretty easy : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8spVMF_pmA

[TirikiteToker]

Wow. Portable vapes on the way?

[Hudsonrulez]

This looks interesting and a more viable option than the vm3. Its good to see there using ISO:9001 – 2001 approved parts. I have worked in factories before and this is the best international standard for manufacturing parts.

I would be interested in how the butane heating system works. I would have to try before I buy but if it does what it says it does then I'm getting myself one.

[daytripper]

I guess we'll all wait for your review, I wouldn't buy without it.

[dopefiend]

I've been in touch with the manufacturer, so fingers crossed, we'll have a definitive review on this soon.

[BlackBeauty]

Thanks Dopefiend and everyone who's replied...maybe you can get them to send me a pink one for testing purposes?! :p

I would absolutely love a sexy, portable vape like this! Fingers crossed that it actually works! :cool:

[Ostritt]

This is exactly what I've been waiting for... the smoking sections of Dublin clubs will never be the same again :D

siick! I'd love to hear a review.

[JohnnyBeBad]

Well, this could be cool. :cool: Nice find BB !!

[anslinger]

I'm looking forward to some reviews as well. I'm a big fan of direct-draw vaporizers.

I'm also a fan of portable vaporizers. But so far, I haven't seen any that would be easy to just hand to someone new to vaporizing and have them get a good result right off the bat.

Often, your herb ends up burned because there is an inhalation technique to learn as well as a heating technique to learn. This I-Inhale (does it seem that most vape names are kind of lame these days?) at least takes the heating technique out of the equation.

[G13]

I have just had to change my boxer shorts....

[BlackBeauty]

How was that for you? Considering plastic next time? ;)

[gratefuldude]

so far i heard its really good. i will leave the real work to dopefiend though, i want the review from the vapor master.

[dopefiend]

Don't want to make my final judgement until I've been using it for a week, but for now let's say it's very interesting!

[Lethal_Hobo]

Dopefiend, if you get a hold of some iInhales I would gladly buy one off you, if, the cost doesn't exceed the repair costs for my old vaporizer too much :)

[Ostritt]

If I buy one will it fight with my Volcano when I'm out? I don't want to come home to broken vases and a cracked solid valve.

Yes he did! I'm looking forward to the reviews DF :)

[JohnnyBeBad]

I cant wait to hear DF's thoughts on the II. Please be good !!

[Hudsonrulez]

oh man I'm looking forward to this review! If it goes well I'm gonna bug the manager at vapor central to buy these.

[TheGreenCanuck]

$250 is a little pricey, but if it fulfills the dream of portable vaping...

[sttony]

The review is in... He likes it :) Check out -->> http://www.vapefiend.com

:) Man, ive been reading some really good reviews on the iInhale vapouriser.

I gather DF liked this vape as i see they are for sale on his site Vapefiend for £135 inc. postage for us Brits. :D

I think i really want one of these babies now, but im just gonna hold out for DF's review just incase lol. :D

[Pothead]

i want one!!:p

but i can't my outgoings are already more than my incomings at the moment:mad:

i would love to have one in time for dopestock 09 though:p sitting at the canals or in the park and vaping not having to smoke (now im wanting one even more) that would be haven - and no worrying about the smoking ban or where or when!

DF which podcast will the review be in???

peace

Butane info. straight from the source. Did I mention I am very happy with this little device?

Hi,

Thank you for purchasing our I-inhale vaporiser.

What brand of butane did you put into the vaporiser? Can you supply us with a weblink to the exact butane that you used?

Our products are never shipped from the factory with butane.

Universal butane should be fine however we would recommend Ronson or Colibri as they have very good quality butane.

Some people get confused with the fuel you use for Zippo lighters and fuel you use for butane lighters as both are described as cigarette lighter fuel. Fuel for Zippo lighters do not work with our products or any butane lighter.

Also the default needles that come on the cans are different in each country. The default needle on the Ronson cans in Ireland and the rest of Europe work perfect.
The attachments are generally built into the caps of the cans. They certainly do with Ronson here in Ireland.

If you have any further queries please don't hesitate to ask.

Best Regards
The Team @ I-inhale

Subject: Butane Question
I just bought your product and when I got it I am not sure, but are they shipped full of butane? I tried filling and the gas spurts and does not fill. Also, what type of butane do I use? Can I use any universal butane? What about the nozzle? Do I just use the regular needle one that comes on all butane cans or do I need a special attachment. Does it require special butane such as Colibri butane?

Thank you

[HotSpurs]

Here are some impressions from using the I-inhale only twice:

First, I like the resulting vapor, very nice. The first problem I encountered was difficulty getting the butane to go in... it did go in, but not without squirting quite a bit outside of the unit in the process. Eventually by holding the can of Calibri butane at different angles, the liquid went in fairly well.

When you read the manual, it informs you that butane is not allowed on airplanes, whether in your checked bags or in your carry-on. This is an issue for me, because I will wish to bring it with me, and there is NO visual optical meter (as exist on some other butane devices) that shows you how much fuel is remaining. So it will have to be used until it dies out to really empty it, which is not terrible but an inconvenience.

It does ignite ("piezo" switch) easily, and heats up quickly.

Gotta go... more later.

[HotSpurs]

The minute I received my I inhale I could not figure out how to open the darned thing... the answer is: you pull the mouthpiece part away from the body of the unit. This reveals the bowl.

The second time I used it, I had a 1.5 foot clear plastic tube attached to the mouthpiece for a cooler draw (this tube came with my unit as a "comfort package" extra and it is useful that way). The unit had been turned on a few minutes earlier, and my hands were occupied with something, but the tube was still in my mouth, with the I inhale unit dangling from it. It is quite lightweight, so I thought this might be ok, but the weight of the unit dangling fom the mouthpiece (and my moving my head around) caused the mouthpiece part to SEPARATE from the body of the unit, and all of the herbal contents spilled out!! I won't be doing that again.

I suppose it would be nice if there was a clip to keep the mouthpiece attached to the main body.

Only time will tell if this device continues operating as well as it does now, but so far it is a very satisfactory purchase.

Anyone else think something Fishy is going down ? :eek:

[Hudsonrulez]

unfortunately I'm just a mod and not an admin so I can't see their ips. Personally the positive reviews I don't mind so much. Generally when someone spams its usually negative and they usually go away after a few posts. It may seem fishy but I'm going to give these peeps the benefit of the doubt.

I have yet to try the i-inhale but when I do I will reserve my judgement. Until then I will allow these posts to continue so long as there isn't a sudden influx of these one or two posts. This unit just hit the market so there is bound to be some confusion over it. So take these posts with a grain of salt. Like everything else on the internet a bit of waiting and see is prudent. If information is coming from an established source then I would be more trust worth of it.

I'm going to make it my mission to get my hands on this unit. I trust dopefiend in his reviews of it as I know its coming from an honest source that has good intentions.

Like i have said before wait a bit till a unit has established itself as you can see the true flaws after 2 months of use. That is unless you can find a source to borrow or rent.

[Pothead]

ive just had a look and there ip's email addresses etc DO NOT match, i think you may be reading a little to much into it?

[buddhaholic420]

Yeah I don't understand what you are referring to. Mine rocks. If you want I can post some pics. later. I am at work right now. I am struggling with the new purchase as I am low on funds for herbs. I have just begun revaping some stuff and I am surprised I actually got some visible vapor out of it. I should be able to resolve fresh greens today woo hoo!

Maybe, but maybe not. As a regular listener of the podcasts, I was a lurker on the forums for a while before wanting to post something, and only then did I realize I hadn't ever made an account.

[JohnnyBeBad]

Those two are very likely to be shill posters IMO. If you agree or disagee, thats cool. We'll let the main man of the forum decide on this. :) Peace out.

[farmux]

just found a post by a buddhaholic not buddhaholic420 on Marijuana.com in an i-inhale thread and the same email post. he seems to have some gripes about his i-inhale on there worth having a look. maybe we have scared him off this site now hahah lets hope not

whops sorry I missed the personal info stuff. I guess I wasn't reading thoroughly enough. thanks for picking up the ball on that one DF.

[buddhaholic420]

Well, it's been about 1 week to the day since I purchased this little thing and I must say I am very happy with the purchase. Not only have I vaped in the movie theater full of people, but was in the passenger seat with my lady driving and did not see a cop roll up after I just inhaled. I still had the straw in my mouth and he just looked at me and then looked away. It's so awesome this does not smell much. I would have screwed it it was a bowl or something.:D

[oneirine]

Long time listener first time poster. Not shill, but will be buying the i-inhale the first chance i get. Now I just need to get something to put in it.

[dopefiend]

[Mr Kreaky Bones]

My favorite Berkeley head shop is considering stocking them next week after some extensive "testing." If it meets their approval I am picking one up next Saturday. I am still happy with my vapor genie, but I really like the idea of a stealthy all in one unit.

[buddhaholic420]

I must say that this little device rocks and so far the only downside is that the screen mesh is not as fine as I would like. I also need some new screens as I have ruined the one that goes in the top part. It's like a little metal disk with a screen inside. I went to a headshop to purchase some screens, but they do not have the ones that fit inside the little metal disk. I wrote to the company and they said.

The spare parts aren't available yet but they will be shortly.We are currently awaiting packaging for the spare parts. All our distributors should have them soon including Healthvape.
You shouldn't need the maintenance tool just yet but if you are in an emergency and it isn't on the market, just give us a shout and we will do our best to get you sorted out.


At least they are responding and will help out if needed.

[dopefiend]

didn't it come with a spare? All the ones I'm selling do.

[JohnnyBeBad]

Cheers for vouching for the 2 new posters DF. :) I hope they will stay with us.

[dopefiend]

Just to make it clear dude, I'm not vouching for the 2 new posters, I'm sure they're lovely fellas, but I don't know them!

What I said was that I don't believe the makers of the I-Inhale would employ shill posters to promote their product, the product is good enough and they are trustworthy enough for that kind of behaviour to be unnecessary in my view.

[JohnnyBeBad]

Today ive been taught that reporting suspicious posters is wrong, well naughty me.

[buddhaholic420]

Yeah mine came with a spare, but I am always out and about. I have become so attached to the I-Inhale and so I have had issues with it getting gunked up with pollen and other sticky herb that the screen broke through the little metal disk. I am nervous about busting another one. I hope they get this packaging soon so I can order a few screens. Yeah and I am new to all these forums. I have registered on a few. I find it very funny that someone thought I was actually "shilling". Never heard that word before. The reason I have started looking into these forums is #1 info on vaping since I am new to the whole thing and am already addicted to doing that over smoking. To go from 18 years of smoking to just vaping is an amazing feeling. Anyways. The 2nd thing I have been posting in forums is to get known and talk to others out there because connections is the key in this game we play. :D

who taught you that Johnny? I didn't see anyone say that on here.

[LendogPDX]

I have a question.
As a ski bum in my normal life, I enjoy taking safety breaks on the mountain. How will the I-inhale act differently in higher altitudes in cold weather? I know there are Colorado folks out there, maybe they can let us know if there is a difference. Anything to do with gas/air mixture on other devices need an adjustment, will this be the same here?
I would love to get one, as firing one up on the windy ski lift would be great with this device.
--CHEERS

[Stoney]

Just received mine today and I'm impressed! It gave me a pretty serious buzz straight after the first warm up. I was expecting to wait up to 10 minutes for a good result, but one minute was enough! Initially it feels like it is very effective but I can't know until I have tested it more and compared it to the volcano.

There is clearly something being exhausted from the front of the device (that grill like thing). It's no much of an issue though because it's only while it is heating, so don't toke while it *wooshes* :p
Still it would be nice to know exactly what it is...

I'm sure I'll have more to say once I've used it more.

[dopefiend]

don't toke while it *wooshes* :p

I actually find i get the best quality vapour by toking while it whooshes, as that's when the element is hottest.

The boss at I-Inhale is on a world tour of trade fairs at the moment, but he assures me he'll get on here and post details of the testing they carried out on the unit as soon as he can.

[richmannyc]

This is my first reply to a tread...so you know this topic means something to me.
I have to say this little devise is just great. I have been burning with it for over two weeks and it's still going in one piece. Been a toker for sometime and have struggled with Asthma for over 20 years and this is the device I needed to continue on the journey guilt free. I don't have to debate with the thought that what I'm doing will due harm my body or screw the body, feed the mind. I love it. I have never used a vaporizer before and didn't know what to expect...listening to the Dopefiend's review gave me the itch to get one. If you have the means to get one, or have to chip in with some friends, get it. Just remember it's not a brick...treat it like you would anything that rewards you in the end...with care.
Okay, enjoy it. Let me know if I can help with some questions...I'm no, pro just a reg like you..pants on one leg at a time. :o

[LendogPDX]

It is ;)

Skiing/Boarding while taking "safety breaks" in the trees is so common, that the Burton Snowboard Company make a 420 kit to keep your stash safe and dry:

[LutherBlissett]

I managed to get my hands on one yesterday at the hemp expo.

I arrived there and immediately a friend on the LCA stand offered me a toke on one.

I have a Volcano vap at home, and so I didn't expect to even NOTICE a hit from a portable product, but...

I did notice a hit, and so my first question was "how much are they?" :)

When I learned about the 120 pound (discounted!) price tag there, I had to really stop and think twice ...simply because that's a significant amount of money to spend on something unless you really do get some decent long term use from it.

I asked a few more questions about the mechanics of the device, and in the end I headed over to the stand, and came to an arrangement with them to do some promotion for the company via my stonkingly popular profile: myspace.com/weedgroups. Thus, I managed to get a further saving (so I'm happy as a sand-boy!).

Still, even at the full price, if this thing is still in a good working state three months from now, then I think I'd recommend it just as heartily as I currently recommend the Volcano.

It was only when I travelled to a job fair in Birmingham recently that I realised what a bitch it is not being able to take your Volcano where er'r you go. The thing is, I have only vapourised (not smoked) for over a year now, so I don't want to take a pipe with me.

This device means that I can spend more than six hours away from home before I start missing a quick vapourise! :)

I find that topping up with THC three or four times a day does my mood and my back pain the world of good, so my iInhale might turn out to be literally life changing.

Still, it's early days, so I'm going to wait a while before I go 100% potty about it. :)

My Volcano is still in PERFECT working order after being used every day for over a year. Fingers crossed the iInhale will turn out to be as robust.

Oh, I noticed the posts from someone who wondered whether someone was posting as a "plant". I thought I'd make it clear that everything I've said here has been from my own direct experience, and that nobody has given me any kind of script or encouraged me to post in this forum.

I just made a post in the thread about computer games, cuz I'm ranked number one in the UK at Battlefield2142 (:w00t:) and then I noticed this thread, so I thought I'd throw in my two-peneth.

[wegface]

Personally im yet to be persuaded by the i-inhale- i found it to be a bit like my old lightbulb vape, flavour but much milder than a bag from a volcano. I didnt like the smell of the exhast to much and thought i could taste eggy gas on some tokes. I must admit ive not sat there toking one for 15mins non stop so i cant say how id feel after doing that. Shoot me im fooking fussy.

[LutherBlissett]

I hear you, and I don't think you're being fussy.

I know what you mean about it not being as powerful a hit as a Volcano bag, and I'm sure that the two products will never be rivals for one another.

The iInhale is by no means the best vapouriser I've used, but so far it is the best portable (pocket) vapouriser I've used.

Definitely enough to stop you feeling sick if cannabis is something you use to settle your stomach.

[buddhaholic420]

I have found that you need to make sure to use refined premium butane as regular cheap butane will clog up the works. I had a can of Poplight butane made in China I was using for a lighter for a long time and it seemed to work fine. It was the cheap kind. I then bought what I thought was the same brand, but it was called Power Butane made in Korea. First fill was fine, but after a little while the glow of the orange light and the hiss died down to no light and barely a whisper. Freaking out I thought it was broken. I turned it off and set it aside to compose myself and then decided to go back and try it again. I turned it and and poof it works again! Excited I pack another bowl and begin to wait a bit for it to warm up. When it hissed the first cycle it was very strong and little by little each cycle got weaker and weaker. Puzzled I stop using the new gas and begin to use up the last little bits of the Poplight butane and it appears to work fine for the duration. I then went out and bought some vector butane which is about the same price as the others with about 20 ml more gas. What a difference in the way it works. It's actually working way better. It's kinda like new cars. You put cheap gas you get engine knock. Well in this thing you put cheap gas it warms, but barely to the point of vaporization. I have also noticed some people that keep saying the volcano is better and blah blah blah. I know the volcano is better. (wishing I had one) You don't want to compare apples to oranges. One is portable and the other is not. I can't say my vapor brothers (a.k.a. Vapey) is better than my I-Inhale (a.k.a. Vapanator). Obviusly when I am home I vape out of the Vapor Bros over I-inhale any day. Unless I want to do it outside by the pool or something. The only downside is not the high you get. I get torn up on both with very little bud. It's just the taste of the vapor in the I-inhale. It starts off very nice on the first two pulls, but kind of dies there. No more tastey weed. Just some OK vapor. With vapor bros the taste is awesome for a lot longer. That's the thing with vaporizers that I have used. They lose taste after a while. I guess that it why the volcano is the best. I want one so bad. Anyways. This is the longest freaking post I have ever written so I am off to my car to vape during my work break.

[Hudsonrulez]

tube direct draws are like that. on my herbal aire the first 5 tokes are great. then okay then crummy. but thanks for the review.

[Evil Herb]

I got the try the I-inhale at the Cannabis Cup last week . I talked with the Reps and tried it out too . 1st of all , let me say that the people that ran the booth were extremely nice and when I mentioned that I was a Dopefiend podcast listener and forum member , they really valued my opinion. Or they BSed me LOL . Either way they were very kind . As far as my review goes , I tried to think of a few things I read on this forum and get some answers. I first asked about the situation with the butane. Why are these things so damn hard to fill ? He told that the only way to get a good fill on the I-inhale is to use the proper nozzle tip for the butane can . He then showed me a can of Ronson butane and filled up the I-inhale with no problems . He told me that they recommend either Ronson or Calibrie fuel . He said that not only do both have the proper tips to fill without getting it everywhere , but he said that the butane itself is better quality then cheaper brands . It lasts longer then most cheap brands . Next I asked about how long a chamber full should last ? He told me that a fully packed chamber will last about 12 to 15 hits . Then we discussed the fixed temp that the I-inhale has . The bottom line with this feature is that , its just too expensive for them to put thermometer into the unit . I suggested maybe raising the set temp higher and making a feature where you can shut the heat down early if you have drier weed . If you have moist , fresh weed , you might let the heat go all the way . Basically , a getto way to govern the heat on your own . LOL. He liked that idea . Then I actually tried the unit out for myself . I got the 1st hit of a fresh packed chamber . Let me 1st say that before I give you my opinion , I personally classify Bag Vapes and Direct Draw Vapes into two TOTALLY different categories . In my opinion , Direct Draw Vapes are not even close to Bag system Vapes . I have yet to find a Direct Draw Vape that even comes close to the flavor that the Bag system has , so when I try a direct draw vape , I try not to compare it to a Volcano or my Herbalaire . With that said , I have to say as far as portable vapes go , this is a really nice machine . My main gripe with this thing however is how hard it is to hit . It kind of took alot of lung power to get it going . The taste was fruity and strong but as with most direct draw vape that died out after about 4 hits . Then it begins to taste really earthy as most direct draws do after a while . All and all though it is the best I have seen in portable units . If you dont have a bag system yet , it would be better if you bought one of those 1st , then buy the I-inhale .

[Up Yer]

(SNIP)
........If you dont have a bag system yet , it would be better if you bought one of those 1st , then buy the I-inhale .

Factor in stealth and the i-Inhale definitely does the job for me!

I finally gave my i-Inhale a test run with something decent today, and gotta say it got me as high as any vap in the Dam:rolleyes: Howsomever, I AM a pretty cheap date! LOL!:D

[Evil Herb]

Factor in stealth and the i-Inhale definitely does the job for me!

and gotta say it got me as high as any vap in the Dam:rolleyes: LOL!:D

LOL , I'm talking about owning a bag system . If the only place that you have used a bag system vape is on Vacation in Amsterdam for a day or two then you have sorely missed out . I'm just saying that it would be a mistake to buy the I-inhale before you buy a Herbalaire ( cost the same and kills the I-inhale ) or a Volcano ( Kills all vapes ) . You will not find ONE person on these boards that would trade in their Volcano or Herby for an I-inhale . You really don't realize how much more stoned you get off a bag system vape till you have used one for at least a week of everyday use . Then going back to smoking joints tastes like eating an ashtray and direct draw vapes taste like crap after 3 hits . The high when smoking joints is nowhere near as clean or intense as when you vape too , But if you have been smoking joints and this and that all day in the dam you would not know how high a vape got you unless thats all you did was vape . So putting the I-inhale against other vaporizers you have tried in Amsterdam one time is no way to judge . Get yourself Herbalaire or a Volcano and you'll come around real quick .:rolleyes:

[dopefiend]

Evil Herb, to be honest, I've gotten way higher from my I-Inhale than I have from a HerbalAire, and it's even beaten my volcano a few times. It really is an amazing little vape.

Me and my m8's tried this Iinhale with some nirvana big-bud weed homegrown and they claim that reefers smoke is twice as strong and gives you a nice mong stone, wheres the II gives you a clear high that isn't very strong. I still think its the future and still be improved loads in future models.

I've been telling people it is a butane hand warmer here in the states!!! I've handed it to a person or two and said warm your hands on it, and when I get it back I take a toke or two (yes I need to put the tube back in, but so what). It is great for what it is, a portable smoking alternative.

lol, I'm really loving the hand-warmer idea!

We'll have to think of a summer alternative for those down under, though ;)

(Besides, if it works as a handwarmer, it really is! Therefore, you're not even lying, which lets you tell it honestly and in good conscience! Good show, old boy!)

I was thinking that it might be pretty stealthy to hide an I-Inhale in a large fast food drink cup, and to pretend you are taking a drink instead of a toke. Poke the tube out the top like a straw, and there you go. You'd probably have to add some ventilation holes or remove the bottom of the cup to keep the air flowing.

[dopefiend]

nice idea THCecil, I had a similar idea about using a small drink carton like a Ribena carton here in the UK: the mouthpiece could come through the straw hole.

Ok, just opened mine up, and had the inaugural first session.

First things- butane can be a bit tricky to fill, I think practice should help that, but I think it will always be a bit of an ambiguous process. I wish there was some sort of meter so I could see how much butane was in the device.

The hits, while certainly not Volcano in magnitude, are decent. Taste- yep agree it definitely dies down quicker, but you still cannot compare it to smoking where I would contend there's hardly any taste at all.

Lastly, after shutoff it seems to continue to cycle. I've read someone experienced this as well- any updated info on it?

As for the stealth aspect, it's fantastic. Except I can see the issue of perhaps quickly having to slip it into a coat pocket and it continues to keep cycling, even if the power is turned to the off position.

I also wanted to let people know that I need replacement screens. I have been needing them for a while now since i tried (like and idiot) putting nothing but keif in it. Well it melted and got all gunked up on all inside the mouthpiece. I ended up having to replace the two screens. After a while of using it I ended up losing one screen in the mouthpiece when I blew the stuff out so I managed to find the closest size screen to fit inside the mouthpiece part. The other screen on the pin seems to stay quite clean however I do want to change it some day. I have been asking the people at I-Inhale about the parts and they are stating they needed to get the packaging together on it before they start selling it. I decided to check on the parts today and saw they have replacement screens, but guess what! They are $41.61 plus about $20 for shipping for 3 screens! I call that highway robbery and I hope they resolve this. I mean come on. Screens cost about $1 for a pack of 10. The little metal disc cannot cost $39 I am sorry.

[gratefuldude]

I agree, there needs to be something to secure the chamber.. i have dumped the sweet sweet herbs a couple times. :(

Mine has officially busted. :( Well it works, but the damn thing does not turn on when it hisses after the first one. I have to basically click the piezo button each time I hear the hiss. I am going to have to send it to I-inhale. I believe this is due to getting it wet during cleaning. I have had to clean the actual unit because I got hash melted through the screen and pin which got the whole thing dirty. I checked the manual and it does not state any kind of warning about water so hopefully I don't get into it with them over this. I will let you guys know how it turns out. A little tip for all. Avoid any hash in this device unless you want a mission cleaning the mouthpiece and screens.:( I am posting this all over so please don't think I am a bot or something I just want this information known.

[dopefiend]

really sorry to hear that buddaholic. By the way, you can actually take all the bits that need cleaning, including the screens and pin/heating element using the "cleaning tool" supplied with the I-Inhale: it has a sort of spanner in it for unscrewing the pin, as described in the manual. This way you can clean all the bits with water, alcohol or oil without getting any of the main body of the I-Inhale wet.

Yeah dude. Thanks for the tip. I read the whole manual and followed the care in cleaning. The problem is mine got dirty under the screen in the pin with some melted hash. Every since the color has changed to a darker color so I have tried to clean it. I have been successful the other two times, but this time around it seems to have totally screwed it up. As a tip do not ever try and put hash inside unless you can figure out how to put it in without it melting all inside.

[Wink]

two thumbs up for the I Inhale. One hour from the box and it won us over. Added silicon tubing to the mouthpiece. Could not be happier with our little *portable one hitter vape*

[dopefiend]

one hitter? Wink you are more hardcore than I ever imagined!

[savage henry]

I finally got mine from the post earlier this morning and im happy to say this little device is superb in my judgement. I would recommend this product to anyone pothead or otherwise.

I do think It can be a bit tedious though when you have 3 or more heads toking on the same bowl, I think its more of a single person device or at least a "one bowl per person" vape

kudos to the iInhale

[DantheMan]

I got my mine yesterday and I love it. It really reminds me of taking a direct inhale hit from my herbal aire. Not quite as strong but close. I hope the little device stands the test of time and keeps working as good as it is now.

[buddhaholic420]

one hitter? Wink you are more hardcore than I ever imagined!


Yeah wink. You got to be kidding to call it that. I vape for as long as 10 to 15 minutes easy on a decent size bowl. I am still waiting on I-Inhale to get back to me on the warranty. I am still using it, but it's a pain having to listen for the hiss constantly.

[Wink]

heheheheehehe
I am more hardcore than you ever imagined Dopefiend! .... that said ,I doubt even I could polish off an entire I Inhale chamber in one hit. I tried many times the past two nights ;) The portable convenience and way it handles does remind me of a one hitter though. I can get several nice (though tiny by my Volcano standards) very high quality aromatic hits,an equal number of *average* tokes then lets her get up to heat to finish of with several hi temp hits. I will avoid using any hash because of Buddhaholic420's unfortunate experience with it.(thanks for the heads up man). So far so good. I used it instead of the Volcano all yesterday and managed to stay stoned.

[druidude]

I'm wavering here about buying the I-inhale and need some last minute advice.

I hear DF saying he uses the ii for around 15 minutes how many hits is that over that time are we talking 10 to finish an acerage chamber spread over that 15 minutes

saying that reading wink's post I'm guessing you are getting anything from 15 to 20 hits out of one chamber is that about right.

My one main concern is temperature of the vapour on inhale I have a certain particular throat conditition that means I prefer to use my herbalaire bag through a bong. I haven't used a pipe for years becasue the temperature irritates my throat. Would you say the temperature of the i-inhale is the same or significantly less than a pipe?

reading through it seems that you can pull with the condensor in or take it out. What is the increase in temp like without the condensor?

Also just as important as temperature is particulates from the ground herb. It seems that you have to take a quite hard pull to get the vapour through with the condensor in. How efficient is the screen at filtering out ground herb? Do you get bits of ground herb being inhaled.? WOuld it be possible to cut a screen to size to increase the filtering affect?

thanks for any feedback guys

I am so near to taking the plunge I wish I could try one before I spend the money.I suppose I could always sell it on if it does indeed irritate my throat I'm sure it won't lose too much money on a resale;)

[Stoney]

The temperature of the vapour is mainly dependent on how you hit it. If you drag on it slowly the temp is going to be lower than if you drag hard. The condenser makes a big difference also. Another trick is to open your mouth a bit as you hit it and let a little fresh air in together with the vapour. This works a bit like a carb, it cools the vapour down a bit and you also don't have to pull as hard. I'd say try it out first if you are worried about it irritating your throught. I find it does if I pull too hard and long but I can avoid it by using the above techiques.

[druidude]

thanks sttony for your reply

SO I am guessing the vape temp is around the same if not hotter as a direct pull from my herbalire which I very rarely use as it is too hot for me.

I guess that for the odd out and about hit the I-inhale would be okay but for me anyway regular use might irritate my throat.


Mmmmmm decisions decisions.......I really would like the option of a portable vape though. At the moment if we are going out we usually take a good hit on the herbalaire that lasts around an hour and a half to 2 hours then we feel like another one so end up coming home. Just to have the option of hitting the I-Inhale so we can stay out longer would be great.

DruidDude, I would agree with Stoney as I open and close my mouth as I hit it. I notice when I do this I get a nice amount of vapor and it does not bother my throat so I can hold it in for a very very long time. If I hit it hard it's pretty hot to the lips and teeth which I do not like at all. All in all since I have been "carbing" I would say I have enjoyed it more since I do not have to hit it as hard and it's not as hot. The vapor this way is not nearly as hot as a pipe since I have your same problem with throat and lung irritation.

[DantheMan]

I'm not sure I could tell a difference between using the direct inhale option on the Herbal Aire at about 350 vs. the i inhale after it gets heated up. The hit is about the same strength and temp wise - IMHO.
My only complain about the i inhale is that you can't tell if it has fuel in it or not. Christmas eve I was going to a family function so I filled the i inhale with herb and fuel and off to grandma's house we went. Unfortunately I didn't actually fill the thing with fuel - I just thought I did. So there I was at Grandma's with an i inhale, some herb, alittle time and NO FUEL. I can't very well carry a bottle of butane around with me where ever I go... People will start thinking I'm inhaling that crap...

Usually leave the butane in my car in the glove box. I also bought a couple of small butane refills to keep in my pocket if I need to refill it at a concert or something. I know I can get about 3 sessions with a full tank so I usually wait until the 3rd one then empty the remaining tiny bit of gas and refill it. This has worked for me time and time again with never failing a fill.

[DantheMan]

I've had my i inhale for alittle over a week and it has quickly become my favorite way to medicate. Why use any other device? Even my herby has been collecting dust for the last week.

If the i-inhale is half of what its hyped to be in the summer I expect my herbe will gather dust. It seems to be used heavily over the winters.

[savage henry]

well mine is broken, it lasted 12 days in my possession. I dropped it accidentally and snapped off the tube with the threaded bit all trapped inside it still could work if i can get the plastic out of the herb chamber but its just upsetting me now. i like it and Its nice for most normal people, but for retards like me its a little delicate and easily broken

ill have to get a volcano I imagine

[dopefiend]

SH, if I were you I'd email I-Inhale about your broken mouthpiece, I'm sure it can be replaced.

[DantheMan]

SH, If I correctly understand how your i inhale is broken.... It sounds like someone who is a little handy could probably remove the little plastic piece for you without much trouble. Mine came with little threaded replacement tubes.

[buddhaholic420]

Just to give you guys a little update. I just spoke with the guys at I-Inhale and they are going to send me a replacement as soon as they receive my broken one. They were pretty nice and apologized for not getting back to me. They apparently close 2 weeks during the holidays. I mentioned that I thought it might be water damaged, but he stated water should not be an issue and will be looking into this. Hopefully if they do find this to be an issue they find a way of water proofing whatever might have broken. This will not be found out until they look over my I-inhale. I will let you guys know how everything turns out.

[LendogPDX]

Sounds good. Companies want to know what issues with their products may have so they can improve them on the next generation i-inhale.

[roney]

not sure did i post a review. possibly i did. well even if i did i want to say again that these are the business...i mean it. reallygreat clear powerful high..beautiful :)

AND they are made in Ireland..the tiger is back :D

[Hudsonrulez]

the Irish never left! good green things come from Ireland!

[smee420]

Whoo-hoo! I just ordered my I-I last night from vapefiend.co.uk! I'm going on all the positive reviews here since I haven't tried one yet. How long is the usual sort of postage time for UK deliveries?

I would think it would be within 3 - 5 days since your in the same country. I unfortunately I will have to wait until I get mine back from Ireland.

[Wink]

It's a gas man! We love our I -Inhale. Speaking of gazzzzzzzzzzzzz...
MsWink did some quick Google-ing and found us some Vector brand Quintuple filtered butane. Seems cigar affecionados favour it for their hi buck lighters. This stuff rocks.5 bucks USD for a 320 ml can. Cheap and it seems to burn HOTTER than the Ronson. Much hotter. Like Volcano at 8.5 on Vector and 4.5 on Ronson. In fairness our can of Ronson is over a year old. Not a scientific study...just an observation.; )
