Hey group, I got the APX Volt V3 little device and idk what I'm doing wrong but #1. the coils keep burning. I've tried lowering the temp and making sure there is enough wax in the chamber but nothing I do works. I'ce burned out 2, each in less than 15 minutes run time #2. I can't get any quality vapor and the vapor I do get burns my lungs. Idk if I'm doing something wrong or if this thing is just garbage. Any advice helps.

Just received mine. There is nothing anywhere on the unit, box, or instructions that indicates V2. How would I know it's not just a V1? What's the difference exactly?

I'm a 15 m and have smoked weed in the form of a dab pen or a joint a few times before but recently when I use a dab pen my heart/chest has stabbing pulsing pains and my heart beats hard I also get internal pains in my back and I'm worried this is something serious any advice?

Just wondering what everyone prefers.

Just found out I like concentrates a lot more than flower.

What are the best devices out there?

Enails, e-rigs, pens, atomizers, everything - what are the best products on the market right now in each category?

I just broke my V1 Poseidon for my Sai and it seems no one has them in stock anymore. Apparently Humboldt Vape Tech is going out of business as well, so out of stock there as well. Anyone know who still has them or has a similar bubbler? I’ve heard of the M22 bubbler but it’s way too expensive and I like the Poseidon style bubbler better.

Long time dabber first time using one of these nifty things, ive always used a nectar collector so its a great upgrade but im a little confused on some stuff and hope yall can advise

1. How much to load and how to get the wax off the tool? How many hits should I expect?

Id like to load it and be able to get 5-10 solid dabs from it but so far it seems to go through a lot more wax than normal

2. Is it supposed to smell really strong? How to take big dabs inside with no smell?

I bought it so I could rip dabs inside (i live with parents) and I made the mistake of firing 3 or 4 test dabs off before my dad said it smelled lol

left for an hour and came back and it still smelled pretty strong

3. do i rip it while its heating up or after? how not to clog

thanks fam, heres to dabs that make you cough just enough to get you fucked but not too much that you throw up

I’ve been using one of those cheap white rhino nectar collector straws. I dropped it this morning. It shattered. I bought another cheapie, some apex straw and I hate it. First, I saw the lookah whale and was pretty close to getting it. That’s when I went down the rabbit hole of lookah vs yocan. I don’t know what I’m doing to be honest. I ended up not liking the orbit very much.. but I could be using it incorrectly. I don’t want to spend a ton of money honestly. Please give me your best “on a budget” recommendations. Thanks!

I have a utillian 5 and have a semi-consistent problem where it seems like maybe I get the concentrate wet or something?

I load up a grain rice worth, start heating on the lowest setting and slow breath in. Everyone 5-10 times I take a hit like that I hear what sounds like water hitting a hot pan and then it won’t stop crackling until I totally clean it out.

What’s happening?? Tips??

I finally caved and grabbed the orbit when I was in the shop tonight. It's just as amazing as everyone said. Flavor is incredible, clean up is a breeze, and the price is great. I grabbed mine for $44. To anyone who has ever posted about the Yocan Orbit, THANK YOU!

Can someone help I’m trying to spend less than 200 I want it to be portable but don’t really want a pivot as the chambers are 60 and that’s a lot, I’ve seen the core 2.1 and bomb e rig and utillian 8 but don’t know which to pick a lot of mixed feedback

Hey y'all - I'm brand new to the concentrates game, and I bought an ooze boost pen, at the recommendation of the dispensary. It immediately chipped, so they refunded me but let me keep the pen (which still works). Well, the floor of one of the atomizers just crumbled (which, idk how... But I'm betting it was something I did), and I only have one left.

Anyway, I love hitting the bong with my pen, but I also love the portability. Someone else recommended the Aeris Focus V?

Does anyone have any other suggestions? I'm trying not to spend $200 cuz I'm still so new to dab pens, and weed in general, but if more people recommend the same one, I'd be more willing to pour money into it.

Title. I'm buying my first portable concentrates device. I want something that fits in my pocket and can be operated with one hand. I'm not averse to the "buy once, cry once" philosophy but I won't use this thing super often and don't want to spend more for no reason.

Looking for portability without Q-tips

I find all the portable solutions to not be so portable…

I have divine tribe v5, however packing and q tipping after each hit is

1. socially odd / crackhead looking

2. impossible to do while hiking or standing outside a bar

3. the thing hits too hard for public, i always end up coughing

I love c4rts but even ceramic c4rts have chinesium alloy hardware that contacts the oil/cotton wick so theyre definitely toxic.

I loved the idea of the boundless terp pen until I saw a pic on here that showed its held together by glue…. Glue that is in the airpath (big yikes)

I like the idea of something like the yocan cubex that you can load a bunch into and hit throughout the day, however I dont trust the cheap hardware to also not have something toxic off gassing inside / the coil itself off gassing.

Im attracted to the huni badger for my needs, but it is also a little high key as well as large.

What do you guys think? I wish someone would just develop ceramic c4rts that dont leak and clog and that dont have any metal in the airpath.

I "upgraded" to a Puffco Plus and was very let down by the experience so I'm in the market for a new pen.

I keep hearing good things about their new Pivot pen (in their own sub of course) but haven't seen much discussion here.

I'm also open to any suggestions along these lines (also considering Lookah & Yocan).

I have the pivot and looking for a case to hold dabs upright with the device itself. Almost every single case I've seen has the device horizontal and the dabs facing perpendicular. I've seen someone post their 3D printed design but I wanted to see if anyone had any other suggestions

Hey guys, I’ve been a long time-user of the v3 with some thoughts on my new v4.  For those considering the upgrade or looking at the V4 as their first wax pen, here's my experience.

The TL;DR:

• Better hits across the board
• Significantly improved battery life
• More consistent performance than the V3
• Still great for those fatty globs the U5 series is known for

What's Actually Better? The V4 takes what made the V3 good and cranks it up a notch. The hits are noticeably better - you get that dab rig feeling but with more consistency than the V3 ever managed. Battery life is a huge improvement, which means less charging and more seshing.

Hit Quality & Performance Like its predecessor, this isn't really meant for micro-dosing. The V4 shines when you're looking to take substantial hits. Load it up with shatter, and you're getting powerful, satisfying rips that'll leave you properly medicated. The V3 was good, but the V4's vapor production and quality are definitely a step up.

Who's This For? If you're coming from the V3 and enjoy its style but want better performance, the upgrade is worth it. For new users - if you like taking bigger hits and want something that can handle various concentrates (shatter, wax, live resin) without getting too gunky, this is a solid choice.

Here's a detailed breakdown comparing both devices. Not a sponsored review - bought with my own money.

Battery Life & Charging:

• V3: ~45-50 mins continuous use, 2.5-3 hour charge time
• V4: Roughly 1.5 hours continuous use, 2 hour charge time
• Still uses micro-USB instead of USB-C which feels dated in 2024

Temperature Settings:

• V3: 2.2V, 2.4V, 2.6V, 2.8V
• V4: 2.0V, 2.4V, 2.8V, 3.2V
• Higher voltage on V4 produces bigger clouds but can be harsh

Chamber & Coils:

• Both use triple titanium coils
• V4 coils seem to last about 2-3 weeks with daily use (similar to V3)
• V4 chamber is slightly deeper but still prone to overflow with heavy loads
• Cleaning frequency needed: Every 5-6 sessions for both

Performance Differences:

• Pros:

• V4 heats up in 3-4 seconds vs V3's 5-6 seconds

• Better airflow control with redesigned top cap

• Less reclaim buildup in the bottom chamber

• Bigger hits at max voltage

• Cons:

• Still gets hot after 2-3 consecutive hits

• Mouthpiece can get uncomfortably warm

• Price increased to $119.99 (V3 was $99.99)

• No significant improvement in flavor preservation

Real World Usage:

• Works best with: Shatter, crumble, pull-n-snap
• Struggles with: Super terpy sauces (tends to leak)
• Average bowl size: 0.1-0.2g
• Sessions per charge: ~15-20 (4-5 hits per session)

Not Worth Upgrading If:

• Your V3 still works fine
• You prefer small, flavor-focused hits
• You mainly use runny concentrates

Worth The Upgrade If:

• You need longer battery life
• Want slightly bigger hits
• Your V3 is dying/having issues

Price/Value Analysis:

• V4 Kit: $119.99
• Replacement coils: $24.99/4-pack (unchanged from V3)
• Value proposition: Paying $20 more than V3 for incremental improvements

Coming from someone who used the V3 daily for 8 months before upgrading, the V4 is a modest improvement but not revolutionary.

Final Thoughts The V4 isn't just a minor iteration - it's a meaningful upgrade that addresses the V3's weak points while building on its strengths. The improved battery life alone makes it more reliable for daily use, and the enhanced hit quality really seals the deal.

I load it up pre fire then go to take my toke and then I get wax in my mouth I have to spit out almost every time. Any suggestions or help?

Anyone help?

Why does my Yocan xxx taste bad? I even bought ceramic donuts and they are not much better. puffco plus tastes much better.

not sure were I can buy dtv5 in the US since ineedhemp has been out of stock. Any suggestions or should I be waiting for a restock (if ever it comes)?

I recently bought a Yocan Orbit and the crystal bucket is slightly crooked, enough so that the opening does not fully align with the "vortex" thing at the bottom of the mouthpiece. Is this something that will impact the operation? I sent a message via Yocan's website to see if they have a solution.

Here is a pic of the cup/bucket. Not a great angle, but you can see the misalignment

Even on full blast, this thing can’t even heat up the oil fast enough to get any sort of hit. It’s made of a tiny metal coil sitting inside a ceramic housing. Any vaporization that happens is between the oil and the cheap metal. The ceramic absolutely does not heat up enough to vaporize anything.

I would highly recommending steering clear of this device and perhaps spending a bit more on something else. I feel like i’ve been scammed because it was $50 including shipping, and of course they don’t refund something you’ve used and experienced how poorly it works.

If anyone has any tips on getting this thing to actually give me a hit, that would be appreciated. Maybe the quartz tips work much better, but i’m not about to give them more money just to make it work the way it should already.

I’m so over buying new ones. I was loving the seahorse pro plus, I thought it was the best in the market that I’ve tried. But now the tube of my coil is full of goo and my hits taste weird. This coil is only a week old. And burning it out isn’t helping. The coil itself is fine but it’s just the trapped shit in the coil’s tube (not the big mouthpiece tube) M

Does this coil need to be trashed? https://imgur.com/a/mjFM86k

My Wax coils have turned from Clear to black. Is it time to switch or should I clean with Alcohol? I’ve had them on for about 9 weeks

I bought an Arc vape yesterday from a dispo. Maybe I shouldn't have. There is almost zero info about them online. I cannot get the thing to turn on. First, I put the whole thing together and then tried to charge it. Seems like that might've been a mistake. It flashed through colors but never charged it seems as it still wouldn't turn on. Well I took the top pieces off the battery and it now shows a red light when I plug it in. Figured okay, it's charging now. I left it all night and pulled it off the charge just now, still showing a red light but it's been hours, and it still won't turn on. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or did I just buy a paperweight?

I just receieved mine and I tried both attachments. sad to say that it took a good amount of wax to get me any smoke. Does that change over time? Just curious cus i'm not a wealthy person and wow it just ate up my wax and gave me like 3 hits.

Title, basically. I just got back from the shop and the dude told me I can put dry herb in there but then I found the lil dab spatula and now I'm confused. Any potential damages I may be incurring by using dry herb in this thing?
