No butane powered, but I've tried a couple of battery powered portables that were similar. Not as small, though, and around $450 brand new.

Are you implying there could be another use for this product LOL
Why, what on earth could you be refering to, sirrah? Lord knows I know nothing of such things!
Scrubadub, I heard that glycerine can convert to toxic acrolein at around 280 degrees C.
Acrolein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The more I think about this new device the more I like the idea. It becomes good value for money if none of the parts need to be replaced for six months. If it doesn't have the overworked battery problem and a clogging atomiser then that is entirely possible. The price can only be compared with current devices in terms of durability, it's at the high end but will it last longer? I hope you get one for a review Leaford, that would be great.
AND it's made in Ireland *doing a little jig* that makes it a must have. It was originally designed to cook spuds.

I used to live in San Francisco. I know very well the wonderful flora avalible in that great city!
This does appear to be designed to meet the "herbal" vape market. Not sure how it could be adapted to e-liquids, though some experimentation might produce an acceptable result. It looks to be a step in the right direction....interesting!
leaford....you have any links to similar devices..electric or whatever powered?
That's right Kate about acrolein - also, I'm pretty sure our atomisers work at a similar temperature but perhaps someone could correct me on that one..
I think this product will create quite a stir, I know I'm very excited about the possibilities, although I'm currently trying to iron out a couple of issues with using it for liquids.
One of the slight issues I'm having is that the heated chamber is regulated to a constant 190 degrees C which means liquids tend to evaporate at a fairly constant rate. I have found that commercial grade pg liquids are pretty quick to evaporate, whereas the glycerine seems to work a lot better. I believe this is because the flash point of glycerine (160-200 degrees) is a lot higher than pg (+/-130 degrees). Therefore, if you are considering using it with commercial grade liquids, it would be wise to thicken it up with pharma grade glycerine. We are also in the process of developing a commercial grade liquid which would be more suitable for the purpose.
The other thing I'm working on at the moment to improve the current performance is sourcing a non-conductive filler/cart material that could be suspended within the chamber. This would inevitably mean that the liquid evaporation rate would be slowed somewhat.
In terms of overall cost of the I-INHALE, it comes with a 2 yr manufacturers warranty against product defects so if you weigh that up against buying replacement parts every month for current ecigs you'll probably be making a big saving... I know I've easily spent that in less than 6 months!
The Vapir Mini O2 should be available very soon on our website too. This one will be much cheaper and has a digital temperature control which means the optimal temperature will be more easily attained. This one is a plug in job though so limited portability, but also comes with a fairly large external battery pack to be more portable. I can forsee this one being used with cotton wool as a filler and should be fine for pg commercial based liquids...

Scuba dive. Get some extra tanks.... strap it on yer back....
Kinda gives a new zing to "Aqualung".
I hate to burst the bubble on this device but wouldnt it cause confusion by the authorities between us and Herbal smokers? Our current set of devices are mundane looking enough to use in public with very little problems from the local authorities. I mean you smoked an analog glass Pipe (loaded with tobacco) you wouldnt expect to walk down the street and not get stopped by every cop that saw you? I mean I wouldnt want to be walking by a squad car puffing away on one of these devices.
On the other hand it is a good concept if adapted to look like something similar to our current devices. But no matter what it wouldnt give you the same freedom that you would have with an electric.

This is one of those "each to his own" issues. E-cigs look too much like real cigs, and that will contribute to a move to ban them. It already has in the past (read some FDA papers and you'll see this is true). Looking like a cig is a bad thing. It confuses authorities enforcing "no smoking' bans.
Plus, this will be easier to explain as a medical device used to stop smoking. Period. That's the explanation if challenged. It's not how these will be advertised, but it's the practical use, aside from miscreants puffing happy plants.
On the ecigtest foroum, you can learn that Kate has ordered one. If I had the cash, I'd order one instantly. A personal vaporizer is permissible to use; an e-cig remains highly questionable until regulatory agencies make a finding. This is a major step in the right direction for e-smoking.

Well, as new as the device is, I doubt that many police will be familiar enough with it to even know what it was originally intended for. Besides, vaporizers are legal, so just seeing you using one isn't probable cause to stop or search you, unless they smell an illegal substance. At least in the US.
I can still see these things breaking quite often given how much you guys vape currently. If it IS made for smoking weed/crack/whatever then using it for nicotine intake is probably outside its operating parameters. Oh, you will also get through a lot of butane. Looks a fine little toy though and interesting to see where this goes.
It'll be going some if it breaks more often than the current devices we use and it comes with a two year guarantee.
It might not give good vapour and flavour, that's hard to judge from a video.
Butane isn't expensive but I'll be keeping an eye on maintenance costs and will be sure to let you know how it goes. It worries me more that it will drink eliquid quickly, that's more expensive.
This is definitely worth a try, I've got my fingers crossed that this new toy will put the old toys to shame. I'll be comparing with my best device so far - a Janty Kissbox.
I will be very interested to see how it goes for you Kate. I was looking at some different ones last night and they have some cool designs. It just worries me about law enforcement automatically assuming that you are using it for something else, just like the Hookah. I still want to come up with an efficient E-Hookah.
Good luck with this, Kate - it would be great for countries where e-cigs are illegal (e.g. Turkey) because of its many "legitimate" vapourising uses. It would be fun to vape some Mint leaves, I think.
Yes, mint might be nice. I haven't really thought much about using it for herbs to be honest, I'm just hoping it will work well with eliquid.
I suppose I could put tobacco in it but I've gone off tobacco flavour in a big way since I discovered lots of yummy eliquid flavours. It's not good for me to use cannabis either because it makes me paranoid and mentally unstable. I ended up in a psychiatric hospital one time after a binge on that stuff
