Nice rip,
@duff! I was actually planning on making a thread for the Stempod but you beat me to it.
I got my Stempods in on Friday, which was well ahead of the mid-August shipping timeline that the creator gave me. It is always great when you start your experience with a manufacturer with better-than-expected service.
After some user-error related struggles early on, I am starting to get the hang of this vape. I am quickly becoming a fan, and I think I have found a new DD.
Some initial positive aspects of the Stempod that I have found:
- Instant heat - I am able to push the button and get visible (and tasty) vapour on the first draw
- Solid construction - being a klutz, I like the lack of breakable parts on the Stempod body. I think I will need to get a wooden stem or two. @phattpiggie do you make 19/22 stems?
- Even vaping - I have not needed to consider stirring at any point. The colour is generally pretty even throughout the load. If I overdo it, the middle will be a bit darker than the rest, but otherwise it is very even.
- Easily rebuildable coils - I always fear having to send vapes in and being without them for a while. One aspect I enjoyed when @Pipes project was my DD was that I could always build a new coil if something went wrong. And in this case, the coils seem much easier to "make".
- A "light" vape signature - I find some vape signatures are too "heavy" for me, especially those that actually help my stomach. However, I find the Stempod to give a good effect without weighing me down.
That's it for now, I am really loving this thing so far. I know it is during my vape honeymoon period, but this vape checks a lot of the important boxes for me. Now I need to decide on a second mod to hold my second Stempod...any advice out there?
