I closed this thread for a little while for research purposes. Sorry for any worries ...


(wow...it's expensive too !)

 

[QusieQ]

interesting .....

 

[whitetortuga]

Hm.. this is interesting to say the least. I am wondering what the benefits of this would be over PVs. I only looked quick, but did it say it doesn't have nicotine? Instead it uses real tobacco? Isn't that kind of counter-productive? Don't you want to quit the tobacco part?

 

[mylose64]

I heard about it a while back.

Very expensive... and I personally think it's kinda pointless. It's like a gas powered e cig.

 

[DOAlaboratories]

Call me an idiot, buuuuuut... I'm pretty sure that's not ONLY for tobacco. It says for "herbal blends" on the site too.

 

[cavibird2005]

Seems dangerous to me... Lets take a highly flammable/Explosive gas and burn it in a device made in china.... next to our faces....

 

[dankie]

the problem with the propane is that with continued use keeping the vegetative material from combusting is near impossible.

I went to the sight im a curious one . I watched a video on you tube here
Ploom review - YouTube
cause on the sight its not real understandable to me whats inside the pod . I read the FAQS and they last according to what i read 5-10 minutes of vaping then you change it. Cost ? 5.95 for 12 of them .
Well just not for me .
The video fella demonstrates it in action and the fella even uses a method so he does not have to buy the little pods he fill them himself and shows how and says they last 10-15 minutes.
Well and this is only my personal opinion i'll keep vaping the way i have been.

 

[tommy2bad]

It seems to be a smaller version of this;IOLITE And at a better price, wonder how long the 'pods' last if refilled?
I miss my.. better not say

 

[Eddie.Willers]

The ECF Wiki has a stub article on the Ploom.. Damn expensive devices, if you ask me, and definitely aimed at those looking for something to consume 'other plant materials not tobacco'.

Interestingly, one of the US distributors for the Iolite device is gotvape.com ( domain created in 2003 for the retailers of MJ vaporizers)...not gotvapeS.com - created in 2005 and who is a well-known vendor here on ECF.

 

[Dieseler]

Tommy the guy in the video link i posted was refilling them and mentioned 10-15 minutes on the website the ones they sell they mentioned in the Faq's at 5-10 minutes.
Just not for me.

LMAO! Did anyone notice at 5:22 of this video when he shows you what's in the pellet? Lists the ingredients on the box and you'd never guess what's in it. GUESS! GUESS! Give up?



PG/VG and natural flavors!

In the beginning of this video he calls the juice used in ecigs a chemical concoction (sp?) and a cocktail! He then says that some believe the ecig is a tobacco product, other believe it is a new drug and that the Ploom isn't going to have that problem because it uses actual tobacco.

WOW! Really? Yet at 5:22, the ingredients list PG and VG? Seems to me that you just replaced my NIC juice with actual tobacco and replaced my battery with butane. Thank you, but I'll pass...

At 7:26 he actually fills a pellet using PG! Then says you can also use VG...

 

[kabonk]

I don't know I think I'd have to pass on that too PVs have been working fine for me for over a year but maybe if I'd have seen it when I first found e-cigs i would have tried it

 

[TomCatt]

Hmmmm...an interesting alternative to smoking.

Points:
* Yes it uses tobacco; but (and is stated on the website) uses PG/VG as a carrier/vapor producer

* Not sure about 'catalyzing' butane; but then I have no expertize in that area

* Don't see where the 'expensive' comments are coming from - the unit itself is $40 - vapers seem to have no trouble paying $100+ for a battery holder.
12 'pods' for $6 - if they last as long as 20 cigs (and sounds like in the realm of possible) - then not much difference in price vs smoking; so a more healthy alternative to smoking.

JMHO

Trouble i see with the pods is in there Faq's on there site they say the pods last 5-10 minutes each.
In the video link i posted the guy uses old pods and fills with snus and pg and or vg to moisten and he say they last about
10- to 15 minutes.
For me personally and maybe others it would amount to constant changing of the pod and 12 pods at 6.00 would not last a day .
Errrr but we have options and im very thankful for that !

 

[Peezy]

yes its awesome... the customer service is terrible but the ploom itself is pretty sweet

they last a while and even tho they continue to produce vapor they loose taste after 7-8mins... plus when the device
is left on the butane is constantly keeping the pod hot so your wasting butane if you continue to vape a tasteless pod

 

[erich]

Places are selling prefilled cartomizers at 5 for $13... Were that the only way to use ecigs, they wouldn't be cost effective either.

 

[wfx]

I miss my.. better not say

yeah. butane. thought this might be a cool idea. but i'm having enough fun with e-liquid and it's not flammable.
