Iolite latest model v older models

You're very welcome

I find that dripping juice straight into the bowl makes it all boil away too quickly. The flavour goes in about 30 seconds, and all the juice is gone in a couple of minutes. By adding cotton wool and dripping onto it, the liquid vaporizes more slowly and gives you a longer session instead of one massive hit. You might love the massive hit though - its a case of finding what works for you.

Hello all, I am really interested in this device. I am currently a pack-a-day analog smoker and was wondering if this unit would be a good replacement for smoking. Here are my questions:

1. How long does a bowl last on the iolite. Let's say I fill it with tobacco, would it last me most of the day? I usually smoke about 10 analogs during work and am hoping that one bowl would cover that.

2. How long would a can of butane last? I know that one filling would last for approx. 2 hrs. I am just trying to figure out how much butane I would be buying.

3. Does it give a hit similar to an analog? Is it satisfying?

Thanks to anyone who responds!!

Hi Bill

Using leaf tobacco in the Iolite is more like pipe smoking than cigarette smoking. A small pinch of baccy will last about 10 minutes, then you want to empty it before your next session IMHO. For more throat hit and buzz you can add more than a pinch of baccy, but I haven't personally tried filling the bowl right up and leaving it in there for multiple vapes. It never occurred to me

The butane lasts one hour per ml so if you are using a 250ml can, that should last you 250 hours. However it does depend on the length of your sessions as the first 30 seconds after turn on it burns more butane than in the next 10 or 15 minutes. So lots of short sessions will mean the butane would last you half as long. But it is still a long time on a can. The unit holds 3.6ml and on average this lasts about 2.5 hours of constant vaping I would say before you have to refill the butane from the can. I work 11 hours per fay and one fill lasts me until I get home in the evening.

Whether it is as satisfyin is a personal thing. It is different to smoking but I find it more satisfying and comforting than an ecig. It is cheap to run, has a long warranty and tobacco is readily available everywhere. The vaped tobacco flavour is different to smoking, it is a more woody, almost chocolate taste. You can also experiment with flavoured pipe tobacco if you want to spice the flavour up a little.

Hope this helps

Hehe thanks Tim!

Great minds must think alike - I had been thinking of punching a hole in the centre of ten 10mm gauzes with a heavy duty hole punch and stacking them on the heating pin

Just got my Iolite today.
Frog is giving good advice here, too bad I failed to heed it. If you removed the conderser and are using cottonwool, do not soak it in e-liquid, you will be hit with a massive amount of hot vapour.

Also, with the Iolite a little menthol goes a long way, don't try to vape uncut menthol juice, I should know (vaped 24 mg uncut menthol, not pleasant. menthol juice doesn't mix well with other flavors in the Iolite, the menthol overwhelms everything else.

Yes indeed, its not an ecig cart, hope you're ok
