Focusvape has rolled up their sleeves and promises top engineering and sophisticated products! Behind the scenes many changes are happening over there. So be ready to see some other great units hitting the market in the spring of 2019.

The first new vaporizer to hit the market is the Aero a dual chamber full convection unit. Yup you read it right , a dual chamber!! Why two chambers? Not quite sure why they came up with this option but so far I am loving it. Fill both ovens before you step out of the house and your set for a great afternoon of pure flavourful vaping.

Ok enough talk about the dual chamber let’s get down to the unboxing and first impressions.(my unit was a pre-release so there has been some changes to the look of the box as well as some minor updates to the unit)

Un-Boxing

Upon looking at the box you can tell its a Focusvape product with its bright green writing as we seen in all there pre released vaporizers. Then when you open the box the Aero sits nicely in a plastic raised piece that looks a bit cheap. Then under this plastic piece you will find the typical accessories from usb cable, a loading funnel (love this) , cleaning brush , alcohol wipes and instructions .There will also offer a bubbler and wpa as accessories. I am hoping that Focusvape will add to its presentation on the final release.

*** Focusvape has contacted me and said the boxing has been update! Here are pictures of the new boxing. It is 100% improved , I really like what they did with the new packaging.

Product Description

Now to the part that is really important…….the vaporizer itself! Its black, shinny and man oh man it feel like quality once you hold it in your hands.You can tell that they put lots of engineering into this one. Yes it does have a familiar look but trust me its no Solo knock off!

The mouthpiece is pure zirconium and its very comfortable. When unscrewing the top part of the mouthpiece it then reveals a nice longer then expected airpath to insure cool vapour. The long airpath along with the zirconium mouthpiece you know this thing is going to push out some seriously smooth vapour! Then mouthpiece is in two pieces making for easy cleaning of that airpath hidden in there.

Also at the bottom of the unit there is a stir tool tightly tucked away . This is a great idea as with a convection you will definitely need to stir that bowl during a sesh.Thanks Focusvape I really love this little option. The stir tool is really well designed with a scoop shape making for a great loading tool as well.

Before using the unit

Enough talk about the build and looks let’s get down to using this new vaporizer! But before that you know the drill……Plug the unit in over night to get a proper first charge. Then you will want to do a couple burn offs at max temp to rid the unit of any unwanted oils left from manufacturing. I also take some Q-tips dipped in ISO and clean the oven, mouthpiece and the air path. Yeah it’s probably overkill but hell it makes me feel better knowing I did it.

Loading the ovens

Now that the unit is cleaned and fully charged. It’s time to get it loaded so we can see how it performs. A nice accessory they have included is a loading funnel, so just insert it on top of the oven to load your cannabis. Make sure not to over pack as this will affect its performance. From my testing a light pack almost as if you want or could add another scoop. Go ahead and repeat this as this unit has two ovens! Now that both are loaded lets get this session started.

Let’s start vaping

To turn the unit on you need to click the on/off button 3 times rapidly and the same if you would want to turn the unit off. Then it will automatically start heating up to the last temp.After dialing in the temp just wait and the unit will vibrate once its ready.  The heat up time takes around 40 seconds but I tend to hold off a a bit before taking that first hit.

Now this is a pure convection unit so ideally take nice long draws. This unit has an adjustable air flow but from experience fully open is best. Convection units tend to need lots of air to work properly so I leave mine wide open. The first hit is always my favorite on all vapes as its the best tasting IMO. As the heater gets warmed up more you will notice the vapour get thinker but the flavours stay nice and bold. The sesh time is set for 5 minutes so when it ends I recommend stirring the bowl and give it another sesh. The second sesh you will notice the vapour will be much thinner as the cannabis is getting spent.

Now that the first bowl is spent we can move on to the next one. All you need to do is twist the top ring firmly and that will switch the bowl. No harder than that! You are now ready to start another bowl , it’s that easy!

Final Thoughts 

After using this pre-release for a few weeks it quickly became a favourite but like everyone new units always get all the attention! 

So far the unit has met my needs, but would like a silicone sleeve to be included if not sold separately. The outer casing does get hot if you are going to vape two bowls in a row , but not has hot as the IQ. The biggest reason for the sleeve for me is for protection against the clombsyness of my stoner self! Cause with its all black body and somewhat shiny finish scratches will show up easily.

The spent cannabis in my testing did not have any crazy dark or charred bits. Seemed very even and properly spent getting a full extraction from the bowls loaded.

I would say Focusvape is on the right track ! The Aero should be a great unit to add to your collection if looking for a pure convection unit. 

**Little update**

The Aero will be released December 17, and to make things more interesting Focus-V are giving away 3 units the week before its release!! Make sure to check out the details on my Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/p/BrGqHebgt-4/?hl=en

The Storz and Bickel dosing capsules fit perfectly in the chamber!! Makes it super easy to bring some extras capsules for on the go vaping.

Yup trust me on this one, size does not matter!! Tiny and discreet the Fury 2 delivers great flavours and thick vapour.

Before ordering this vaporizer I was hesitant as the first version was not the best unit. I put the past aside and made the choice to order myself one from The Herb Cafe. Upon receiving the parcel in the mail I was quick to notice the small size and how nice the package was! First impressions count and Healthy Rips delivered on it.

Un Boxing

Like many vaporizers it comes with usual accessories: usb cable , dap/stir tool , instructions, a silicone cover for the unit , spare screens and silicone bands for the mouthpiece. On my order I had also picked up the WPA and the bent glass mouthpiece and I am very happy I did. The unit is very small , and it also feel very good in the hand. Its a quality built vape. The minute you hold it in your hands ,you realise they did not cut corners on this one.

 Like all new vaporizers I get first things first. I charge the battery overnight and then proceed to doing some burn offs at maximum temps to get rid of any manufacturing oils left behind.

Let’s get vaping

On the first burn off you quickly notice how fast this unit heats up! So getting really excited to get my first session going. When loading the bowl you will notice it is not the largest on the market and if you use the glass WPA or bent mouthpiece the size is even smaller, but do not let that influence its ability to get you medicated!

The display is nice and clean showing you the set temperature and the session countdown(2 minutes). I usually start at lower temps like 370  and then bump it up on the second cycle to 395 to finish off the bowl. Taste is really good at the lower temps and at higher settings the taste dissipates faster but you still get a couple very tasty rips before it degrades on taste. The unit works very well and is surprisingly very efficient for its size! At this time I would say the biggest negative is the shorter battery life. Not being a removable one you are constantly plugging the unit in to charge it. But small battery take less time to charge so I guess every negative can still have a positive side.

Optional Glass Mouthpiece and WPA

Ok lets now go more in details on the optional glass WPA and bent mouthpiece. This is where the Fury 2 excels in performance and taste, as the longer air path will deliver a way smoother , more flavorful vapour! The WPA is by far my favorite way to use with a bubbler as the vapour then become so smooth you can hardly feel it in the back of the throat. But when you are done with the bowl you will definitely be feeling its effects. The accessories are listed at around $21.99 and worth every penny.

Final Thoughts

This vaporizer produced by Healthy Rips is their second version and they have perfected it. If you have yet to try one or still on the edge in getting one, I highly suggest making that order today cause you will not regret it. The unit works very well straight out of the box but if you add the glass water pipe adapter and the bent glass mouthpiece the experience will be even better. Yes the Fury 2 works well as is but if your going to take it up in temps the short mouthpiece will deliver somewhat harsh vapour. But add that wpa or longer glass mouthpiece and the vapour delivered will be much smoother and enjoyable! These 2 add ons will not break the bank  ,take my word on it you will want these!

Healthy Rips has listened to the customers and has now released the Fierce , a bigger version of the Fury 2 with removable battery for longer uses !

VapeXhale Cloud EVO Vaporizer

Hey Guys today I’ll be talking about the VapeXhale Cloud Evo desktop vaporizer.

The VapeXhale unit has been out for a while now, but I only discovered it a few months ago in my quest for the best desktop. I had never heard about the EVO unit but as soon as I came across it, it immediately caught my attention —most especially, its built-in America status (personally, that spells out quality). So, the more I searched, the more I discovered this unit to be a very versatile vaporizer despite being a desktop. The freedom to custom order different glass pieces for the unit ensures that it offers endless possibilities and quality vapor results. Yes, they offer custom glass and the choices are pretty much endless. Also available for the VapeXhale are glass blowers in the USA. I checked out their live feeds on Instagram and was quite impressed that the CEO and inventor of the Evo, Seibo was the one taking time to answer questions and concerns from customers! I believe when the CEO of a company is that much involved in customer service, it’s a clear indicator that they take their buyers seriously. As a result, getting one of the Evo vaporizers was a no-brainer for me.

First Impressions:

This is a premium unit and as such, comes with a premium price as well. You’ll fall in love at first glance as you open the very practical case enveloping all the parts in a foam inlay to keep them organized and safe. Don’t get put off by the plastic casing of the unit and its lightweight nature as I did because there is a reason for this! According to Seibo in a chat I had with him, “The plastic we use is actually a very expensive thermoplastic called Zytel 6033. We chose it because of its high heat resistance and its lightness. Because the EVO could be inverted and used with your own water pipes, we felt it was important that the unit was lightweight. To some, the lightness may give off the feeling that it’s cheap but we felt the benefits outweighed the negatives.”

I also mentioned to him that I found that for the price point, one would expect a digital temperature setting instead of the dial option found on the Evo, but he explained that having the unit built in the USA along with the premium plastic and the made in U.S glass adds to costs. Hence, going with such upgrades ultimately added to the price even more. I was happy that he could clear this up with his explanation and then agreed that the price does indeed reflect the product perfectly.

If you are still bent on the price, trust me after your first session, the price will be the last thing on your mind. Instead, you will be left wondering how come you hadn’t found the unit earlier than you did. It’s a great product. The vapor produced is so tasty and smooth that when you decide to go and use another portable (in my case), it’ll feel like going from a T-bone steak to a hot dog! Did I also mention that it extracts your meds so evenly and effectively that you will feel medicated way faster. The difference is simply unbelievable.

Evo Cons:

After using this unit for a little over a month, one of the cons I noticed was how the unit gets hot when switched on for a long period. As a countermeasure, a heat shield is included to cater for extended uses. Also what I would have liked to be featured on this unit is an auto-off option; or the capability of keeping it on all the time without needing to turn it off. But these cons are far outweighed by all the pros and are only mentioned so that other consumers looking to buy one will be aware of it.

Evo Pros:

The biggest pros of the Evo is the ease of use and the ever smooth hits that it delivers with the Hydratube precision honeycomb glass. The extra long electrical cord is also very nice when it comes to passing this unit around the room for others to enjoy. Another major pro is that the Evo will work with the glass you already own. Even when you have to flip the Evo upside down, thanks to the capped basket screens, it will deliver unmatched vapor quality and taste without spilling one bit of your expensive medical cannabis!

The Evo is every bit practical and you should get yours today instead of waiting for as long as I did! In fact, I would say you are already missing on great sessions by reading this long review.

Final Thoughts:

I highly recommend this unit and rate it a 9.6 even with the auto off.  If I was able to leave it on all day I would give it a 10!!
