Lol, I feel the same way about my old beat up iolite. I am looking into getting a new portable possibly the firefly or crafty and reserving my iolite for emergencies or camping. I wonder if the newer models are more cheaply made? Would you say the butane tends to last longer or as much as a battery powered tank? I dont know what yall are talking about must of been blitzed out of your mind to make this judgement. If you do everything correctly it should work just fine.
Had mine for 5 years now and still works great! This requires a lot of patience though, and waiting the minutes is enough to get started on some lighter and thinner vapour. Hi and thanks for your great review, I just bought one and am very happy, but a couple of concerns….
I am thinking maybe I am using it too much with one load? Mixed reviews. I loosely fill the bowl to its own level and do not pack it in at all. Hello Bud! Congratulations, the idea of your site is awesome. I bought an Iolite last year and it broke very easily. I was just trying to fill it with gas and the injection nozzle broke, making it impossible to fill. I liked it at first although it feels a bit noisy and hot to handle.
Can you help me? I bought my unit in the UK in December ; it was my first vape, and I grew to love it almost immediately, so I was really bummed when it broke and a couple of weeks afterwards.
I was very bummed, as I live in Spain, but at least it was covered by the guarantee. I emailed CS, and although they were not very quick to answer my questions, taking about 3 days to response each email, they were polite and professional. I had to send it to Ireland and pay the postage myself, but in exchange they sent me a new chamber part.
However, in October I had the same issue again, and this time I have experienced one of the the worst customer services of my life. When I explained the issue seemed to be coming back, but that the IOLITE did spark eventually, they sent me an email asking me to return it, but did not answer any of my two follow up emails about the unit being in guarantee for this issue or not.
As it stopped working altogether a few days later, I just sent it, with a note that I would be willing to pay the difference to upgrade to a WISPR 2. I know they are designed for different things, but still :. Are these butane vaporizers strictly for bulk type herbs and shushes or can you use them with eliquid? I would live to have an alternative to batteries for Vaping juice. And this was the second version of the iolite, they replaced their first design because it had a bunch of flaws.
DO NOT use the wrong butane with the wispr or iolite. We all upgraded to the Extreme Q tower over dealing with customer service, not worth the month wait to get back something that could just break again in a week. I have this unit and was happy with it at first but after a year the clicker no longer ignites the butane. I use the expensive stuff and I can click it like 30 times and no spark. Hey, I bought the Iolite, had it for about 4 months, and I really love it.
Thanks for the frank and concise review, it helped a lot! Also bought a space case 4pc. I think I will invest in or at least check out a MFLB, the Iolite is great, but leaves something to be desired when it comes to truly low key vaping and durability. Make sure the unit is off, the switch should be at 0.
Turn the unit upside down and point away from your body. Using the small end of the handtool, depress the gas valve and let all the gas dispel ensuring to keep hands clear of liquid gas spraying from the valve , this may take up to or more than 30 seconds. Refill using a high quality butane and leave for 5 minutes. It should only take a few seconds to fill 2 to 5 seconds.
As soon as gas sprays back it is full. Turn on the unit, the switch should be at 1, and listen for a hissing sound. If you hear the gas flow, press the igniter, you may need to try 2 or 3 times before it will light. Refilling the iolite with Butane. Hold the iolite in one hand with the gas valve at the top. With your other hand hold the butane can upside down. Position the butane can perpendicular to the filling valve. Press down gently but firmly. Filling should take between 2 and 5 seconds, as soon as it sprays back the iolite is full.
