Based on
@VaporizerWizard's post about this being a Nokiva I went on to YouTube and found the following.
Nokiva portable vaporizer by airistech review (YTube 10min NSFW)
My conclusion: cheap vape, if the mouthpiece melts at higher temps then it's not a healthy vape to use. I'd rather get a VapCap OG and a torch lighter for about the same $$
Basically the synopsis is:
- Cheap ($49)
- Mouthpiece cracks or melts around the 400° mark
- 20 second heat up
- About the size of a pack of smokes
- Ceramic heating chamber (conduction)
- Interchangeable mouth piece between Plastic and Glass
Interesting points from the comments section:
- Considerably cheaper on ebay (ebay $49, amazon $69)
- "get a flowermate better. this mouthpiece if used at the highest temps all the time the plastic starts to melt which isn't got for anyone. I've tried telling them about this but they never responded" - Wavy (video author)
Most notable comment:
"The
mouthpiece gets quite
brittle and
delicate the moment the thing hits
400 degrees.
They crack if you push them in a slightly wrong direction, they crack if the unit falls over, they crack if you look at them cross-eyed... I had Three (including two of Airistech's new, "indestructable" ones) crack across the back just behind the neck of the mouthpiece. I had SIX crack in total. In three weeks. And after a couple weeks of use, the silver collar just beneath the mouthpiece cracked, too. Technically the thing still works - I took one of two mouthpieces I hadn't used yet and coated it with a whole package of Sugru (a putty-like silicone adhesive). It's holding together relatively well, though I can tell the damned thing is cracked under the Sugru. And I should say at this point, I'm not a young person. My Viva wasn't passed around at parties, or taken out of the house for that matter. It was used by me, and me alone. I've used e-cigs for years - mods in general are not new to me and I've never had one fall apart like this. :( Frankly I'm looking at the Focusvape Pro. I'm loving the fact that the top doesn't "snap" on, but screws closed, and it's aluminum, not plastic. The Viva would be wonderful if it were only built better. :(" - XantiaD2 months ago (19.03.17)
Warning: DO NOT USE SUGRU TO FIX YOUR VAPOUR OR AIR PATH ON A VAPE, SUGRU IS NOT A FOOD SAFE PLASTIC (YET)
