So
No need for the shit fight to start here again
But I'll touch on the implications about personality
This is the MO of the qstapo
There have been plenty of comments on other forums from disgruntled customers - who all got accused of mental health even when they simply asked a question
As
@momofthegoons mentioned she has seen other negative reviews and the difference being no deleted posts in that regard
The discord is awful - people are ganged up on often if it isn't fanboy stuff
And many things are deleted and spam posts are made to cover things from new comers
This however I have found out is not just with qshop it is with most of the discord sellers - it's seems to be a very controlled and seller aggressive environment - check the Monarx one wow, so many customers abused and gaslit
Even here when six strings came in with a tirade (never been in the forum prior or since) about "misinformation"
Because I said beta testers were in the video - I have a screenshot taken that very day on qshop IG that says the person was a beta tester - so who came in aggressively spreading "misinformation"?
They also have a crew to this day who make videos and have things before they go on sale "but are paying customers"
One guy on the IG they post and say "he is one of our favourite customers and we don't even know his name"
Yet he is on the discord posting the same videos under his name lol
Lots of other dodgy biz styles but it is how many are doing so these days
I also saw them laugh at one customer who was asking a question about the high temps and it was making them cough
They laughed saying it's all the terps
I found moving the screen closer to the heater and lowering temps made better vapour quality and no irritation on the throat
This could have been told to that customer rather than laughing and high fiving each other
Anyway
It is what it is and I don't care to argue about the company any more
It's funny how the hopper thread has always had company bashing and no one has an issue because they had no representation
And in the same vein as the hopper
I always said I had issues with that company but when it worked the product was a beast
Well this vape is also a beast
The lack of warranty is a big issue especially on chunks of Ti
The pids should have some warranty - the same pids have one from AliExpress
I know
@Vitolo got a replacement PID and I believe back then at the start they knew your presence on the forums and thought it best to fix you up
I've never heard another get such treatment and it has always been repeated that there is no warranty on anything
I'm not saying anything about you there mate, I'm saying I think they knew your presence and work and thought it better not to give you a bad experience there to report back with
The guy has always been polite to me in email, because that's when he is making a sale and taking my money (also probably doesn't know the name)
Also goes to show that I am capable of communicating fine with him when he is doing so himself as our emails have been civil
Without repetition on the coil debate that started my bad experience with the company
It was all complete and utter BS about coils not fitting
I now have a Taroma, Taroma lite and a few ceroma that I've gifted on
The whole apple connection stuff about Taroma and the coils isn't real - so there was no need for the seller to have the argument and abuse people - before me and after - on the subject just to nickel and dime ppl selling pids and coils (probably more profit there)
I have tried multiple coils of all wraps and directions and they ALL fit and work - from a four wrap anti clockwise Auber coil to a 5 wrap anti clockwise coil to the 5 wrap clockwise that are supposed to be the only ones to fit
If I can say this confidently the designer would have known - and even if wanted to say only can guarantee their own, they didn't need to abuse all those people who simply asked politely
People who ask about how to use a pod or for some instructions have been abused by the gang - to me simple helpful instructions would be better?
So for anyone looking for an answer to the question if your coil will fit - most likely yes
But to be 100% sure the link that
@LesPlenty shared above is the one if you don't buy directly from qshop and they sell the same 5wrap clockwise coils - you can buy one that you solder yourself to your pid for $30 AUD or you can pay an extra $7 AUD and they will wire it for whatever PID you own
Bc2vape on Ali has had the exact same pids and coils and handles and ruby packs as qshop since the start (possibly his supplier)
Only difference is you will get a warranty from AliExpress and save the mark up price
Now I've said my bit about the company, like with hopper and don't want to harp on about it - I was adding updated info and responding to above rather than repeating prior stuff
Onto the vape and the good stuff
I absolutely love these vapes and think the baller world is what we have all been looking for
There are a few designs and brands out there now and I think they all have changed the vaping game
This is what I've been searching for - big hits, big clouds, no learning curve
Draw, inhale, blow clouds, get high properly
My original post had settings I don't agree to now as I have had time to play with the heads and improve the experience
I no longer use an injector bowl and like to remove as much glass in the path as possible rather than a tower of adaptors etc stealing vapour
I put a screen in the y carb cap adaptor in the joint part
I like to get it very close to the heater itself
The closer the better tbh, you just need to leave the room necessary for the amount of weed you want to use
The original temps I said are much too high at 700 and you start to get a sore throat after a while
Using like above I have reduced my temps to between 580-620 (the screen position varies slightly after each cleaning and assembly)
The flavour and vapour quality is much better with nice avb and less dried bits seem to get through the screen
The ceroma I gave Les I had accidentally broken the lid, that's why he has what I call the ceroma lite
It works pretty much the same way the t lite does in comparison to the taroma
The lids seem to give a bit more sedation and couch lock
But the lite versions still pack a punch and get you higher than smoking
Getting the coil snug on the centre post makes a big difference to performance and lowering temps too
Some say stretch it others tighten
I guess it was a bit of both for me but essentially you want the ID small enough it hugs the baller head post
The ceroma tastes a tiny bit better than the Taroma, but not by mega amounts and I "feel" like the vapour is a better quality off the Taroma
The Taroma definitely performs and hits harder than the ceroma - but the price difference does not reflect this in any way - I am fully aware the material costs are different and this is reflected
Just pointing out that although it is better it isn't $260 AUD better in performance
Having said that the TI is the one for me and will never break (despite not having a warranty)
I don't use the ceroma now and have passed most on
The T lite has a nice flavour with the extra balls and a nice hit/signature
I do like it and the different hit, although I find I usually just stick to the Taroma as I look for the hardest hit and that extra couch lock it provides
I am probably going to pass the Tlite on too
Taroma is the bees knees for me
Hardest hitting vape I own
Tastes nice
One draw, one big cloud, done, high
You can almost get dab like hits (except the weed feel) and quicker than having a dab now
I'm sure some of the other ballers can keep up but with what I own this things rips
You can vape a DV size load and get a huge cloud and high that's lasts me ages - I used to have two DVS yo get what one in the taroma will do
Or you can vape up to a gram in the big bowl and get hammered - but I like the screen closer and temps down so my bowl will just fit .4-.6 depending max
Not only do I get much higher on less weed (or very high on the same weed)
It isn't just me "feeling" it
The feco I make from my avb in the last few runs since using the ballers - the yield has halved
So my avb is half as strong as it used to be
That's how much extra this vape extracts in one go
It works really well for double decker dab and weed
I've heard the B2 is not as good here as it use a dish so you need higher coil temps to heat the sic before dabbing - then true dab goes through hot balls and gets cooked again ruining taste - and the weed is not tasty because the temps are too high
With the ceroma and taroma I just drop the dab through the holes and through balls - which are already set at 580-620 which is decent enough dab temps and the weed doesn't burn as the temps are the same
Tastes good over ruby balls and hits nicely
I also like using eds glass stem for the ws
I picked the Taroma V1 as the v2 exit is less versatile and the balls won't get hot down that low where the coil doesn't reach (the latest v2 has a screen to have same balls as V1, maybe the v2 was an idea that wasn't as good as the og)
The V1 exit I can put over tubes as well as inside injector bowls
Eds stem on a jhook is brilliant - tasty, smooth and a different style hit too
Different bowls hit a bit different
I have only been using the ballers and my ALP for dry weed for a while now and nothing hits as good in my collection
Loving the new era of function over high tech
Go the ballers whatever one you choose
But if you choose a Qshop the Taroma hits hard af
I've done a bit of watching and reading on all the ballers and it seems that the B2 and Taroma are the harder hitting ones of them all - too many fanbois on either side to say which is the one
I will say I picked the qshop and like the taroma because I've seen Troy combust In videos a few times using the B2
Once you set the temp on the qshop vapes you will never combust - hard or slow draw, I've tried for science sake and it stays steady
So for me there were a few reasons I think the Taroma is better, but I haven't tried the CH ones to be able to say for sure
Lastly these vapes are the first that I have been able to convert every single smoker immediately and also pass to anyone with any lungs and draw style
No major learning curve, it just works
They all love the flavour and they all get higher than smoking
Even mates who have scoffed at me a few years have one and are converted (until they hear the price hahaha)
Love the ballers
Get onto them
There's plenty of options out but this brand makes some killer versions that I thoroughly enjoy
So company marketing styles aside, qshop make some of the best vaporisers out there currently and I can't fault the product
Although I do love my own Auber pid and personally tell people to buy pids and coils seperate
