Introduction
The Square is the 2nd vape to join the Haze family and offers users something completely different than their famous Haze Dual Vaporizer. The Haze Dual was the first dual chamber vape to hit the market and was easily one of the best, truly dual purpose vapes that worked as well with dry herbs as it did with concentrates. The Square not only features 4 chambers instead of 2 but it also heats completely different with on-demand full convection heat, whereas the Haze Dual was a session style vape that heated to temperature and stayed there providing mostly conduction heat. On-demand convection heat requires only seconds to reach temperature and only heats your material when your drawing on the device, so no material degradation and will likely provide more flavor and the flavor will last longer too.
The Haze Square is nearly here and will likely be shipping near the End of January, so pre-ordering is available now on their website. $169 for the Standard Square and $189 for the Pro Square. The main difference between the two models: the Pro offers everything the Standard does but also USB-C input for fast charging and programming as well as, the use the Haze Square App to save temperature presets. You can also customize your Square LED color, vibration feedback or find that perfect preset from your session history.

it’s still portable and it can still fit in your pocket or bag. The design is practical, stylish and although it’s heavier, at almost 12 oz., it’s incredibly well balanced and seems to almost disappear in your hand as your using it. It’s futuristic looking and it definitely doesn’t feel like a toy, like so many vapes out there! You will want to take care of this one!
walls that have already gathered heat from the Coils inside, so when it finally does reach the glowing red hot Coils themselves, its super-heated and drawn directly into the Crucible.
The Heat-Sink of the MV-1 is the 2nd section that makes up this device and also houses the extendable glass Mouthpiece. This assembly is really the only part of the device that will ever have to clean besides the Crucibles, which can be soaked in Alcohol but I will cover that later. The Heat Sink breaks down into a few more parts; The outer Shell is made of cast metal (the Heat Sink), inside is a ceramic Sleeve and inside of the ceramic Sleeve, lies the glass Mouthpiece, which extends out for inhalation.
This Door features channels cut into the parameter, surrounding the Crucible, to allow the fresh air to pass around the Crucible, scavenging / pre-heating from the warm Crucible before entering the ceramic housing and coils below. The Crucibles loads easily enough into this Door but it takes a little dexterity to line it up and drop it into place without loosing the Lid in the process. Once the Crucible is in position, you push the Door shut but keep and eye on that LID and the Door locks shut. 
The MV-1 is simple to use and features one Button to control the vape and one Button to engage the heater. The main Button is called the “Mode Button.” The Mode Button wakes the vape up, allows you to select your temperature, as well as check the Battery Level. I found my Mode Button to be a bit “soft” feeling and sometimes its not been very responsive and often takes more clicks to wake the vape than it should but I haven’t read of others having this issue and it’s really quite fine. I recently tried a second MV-1, Black and the Mode Button is much more responsive and springy than my Satin Silver MV-1. It takes 3 clicks to “Wake” the vape up from “Sleep” or “Shipping” Mode and put it into “Vape” Mode. Once the vape is in this Mode, you can now depress the “Heat” or Vape Button to engage the heater for vaporization. I am really not a fan of the whole “3 click” on/off system that so many vapes use but it definitely keeps you from accidently turning these devices on when you don’t mean to.
and most likely more.
e Ghost MV-1 also features an optional phone App (available for Android and Apple ) that can be used on most smart phones and allows you to check Battery Life, cycle through the Temperature Settings, update the Firmware of the MV-1, shop for Accessories, view the Manual and even lock your vape! This App is not required to use the vape but if you want to access and use the 2 Custom Heat settings, you need the app. I think Ghost should have pre-set these 2 custom temps, so people who don’t use the App can still have access to them, giving them more temperature options because 3 temperature settings is really not enough for most users. I wish these Apps could also be used on a computer, either wireless or wired, to give the user more options, especially those who may not have a smart phone.
Vape Temp is the second section and shows all of the 6 Temperature Settings and allows you to select / set your custom 2 settings ( F1 and F2 ) anywhere from 284F – 428F, in 1 degree increments. The Temperature Dial for selecting the temperature is a bit hard to select exact temperatures and I wish it featured an area where you can type in your temperature. The Temperature Dial looks cool and is very clean. I hope future versions of the App will allow for further control of your device and feature Temperature Settings that can increase in temperature during your draw, like the “Smart Paths” from the DaVinci IQ Vaporizer.
Ghost has a number of great accessories to go with your MV-1 like; Cleaning Kits, Glass Stem Packs, Spare Crucibles, spare Batteries, a Crucible Dispenser and an upcoming MV-1 Case. I Highly recommend the Crucible Dispenser ($29.95), which comes with 5 Crucibles / Lids and holds 5 loaded Crucibles for fast reloading and added convenience on the go. The Dispenser is not air tight but its built very well and does a great job keeping your MV-1 fully loaded and its quite compact as well. Spare Batteries are very helpful and its so easy to have one charged and ready, so your never without power and the Fast Charger is the best way to charge your Batteries. At the very least, I recommend the Extra Crucible Pack ( $19.95 ) and comes with 3 Crucibles, 3 Lids and 3 Concentrate Pads because you will want to have spares around!
Loading the Crucible with dry material is probably the most crucial part of the Vaporization process. The MV-1’s full Convection Heat, requires a loosely loaded Crucible, so hot air can easily and evenly travel through it. Pack it too tight and the hot air will be forced to take “paths” through the material, creating “hot spots” and uneven heat.
pressure and packs the material a bit. You can also use smaller amounts of material and you can still get great vapor thanks to the Convection heat. Start with less material and begin to play around with amounts and grinds to dial in the MV-1 to the needs of your specific material.
When I first saw the Sidekick, I thought it looked great, certainly unique and interesting with bright colors, a “Vortex” cooling rod, glass mouthpieces and bubblers and even a stirring mechanism. Stir while you vape? I’m not gonna lie, I thought oh, you need to stir this vapes material, so it must not heat evenly or efficiently…. I was skeptical on the whole design but I decided to give it a shot with a pre-order discount and some amazing accessories. I’m really glad I gave the Sidekick a go and I am now a fan of the stir mechanism, not only because it helps heat your material evenly, which it can do without the mechanism but because it helps maintain the flavor and keeps your material from overheating between draws. This vaporizer is stoner-engineering at it’s best, a Vortex to cool the vapor! A stir mechanism! Glass mouthpieces! Things only someone with a HIGHER understanding can appreciate! A lot of thought and love went into the design of this vaporizer.
e such a solid vaporizer and you know it’s made here in America! Add some custom hand blown glass accessories and mouthpieces to the mix and you truly have a top quality vape that you can feel. The finish on the Silver Sidekick is just amazing, it’s pearlescent, smooth and it really catches your eye. I also have a Black Sidekick which is still really nice, super smooth as well but the Silver just pops. The body has a nice curved shape, so not only does it fit pretty comfortable in your pocket but it’s also holds really well, left or right handed! I’m right handed but I switch it up and I don’t have a problem using the Stir Mechanism with either hand, it’s just in a good spot and feels nice. Everything is quite smooth and nothing sticks out to catch things on and even the buttons are metal! There is a little rattle to the device but it’s minor and it comes from the buttons that have a little wiggle room and I think the Vortex Spiral as well, inside where it has a little room for easy removal. Overall, a very solid vape and I think this is definitely one that will last and last.
Sidekick is mainly a Conduction heated device and majority of the heating is via direct contact with the walls of the heated chamber but it is said that it also has some Convection heat to the mix. It’s a hybrid heating device, most similar to the Inhalater’s hybrid heating style. In both vapes, most of the heat and vaporization occurs from the Conduction heat coming from the walls of the chamber but the air is pulled in and around the outside of the heated walls of these chambers and thus adds heated air, Convection heat to your material. I think the Convection heat is pretty minimal in both devices but I think there definitely is some going on which adds to the overall experience. that being said, there is nothing wrong with good Conduction Heat and there are many benefits but Convection heat is still my preferred heat.
with use, become naturally non-stick and offers protection from deterioration. I have no problems to report with the Chamber thus far but I do wish they offered a screen or some type of different bottom because all of the stirring pushes a lot of debris through the bottom. Luckily they have thought of that and have a port that can be accessed by pulling out a Silicone plug, allowing you to clean underneath the chamber, otherwise I wouldn’t by this device without that feature. A little tray or pan would also be awesome, so you could just slide that out, dump it and be done instead of fishing around with pipe cleaners trying to get everything.
Another interesting area of the Sidekick, the mouthpiece and the vapor paths. First of all, 7th Floor offers custom, hand blown glass mouthpieces and bubblers by their in-house blowers who specialize in artisan borosilicate glass pieces that add style, performance and purity to the vaping experience. 7th Floor also offers Foreign Artisan glass bubblers that are also very nice but at a more affordable price. I have picked up a few pieces; a Elev8 custom bubbler with Unobtanium / Cobalt blue, a Elev8 custom mouthpiece with Unobtanium / Cobalt Blue and a 90 Degree angled custom mouthpiece but they only offer 180 and 120 Degree angle mouthpiece now for use with bubblers / water pipes etc. I really love my angled mouthpiece for a more laid back draw and the Cobalt Blue mouthpiece is gorgeous with swirls of Blue Cobalt and Unobtanium. The bubbler is also insane and takes vaping to a higher, smoother level and it works great but it is a little difficult to clean and be careful, if your Sidekick tips over, especially with the bubbler or your mouthpiece extended, it will likely break.
Sidekick features a loooonnnngggg vapor path up to 18 inches with the Vortex Spiral! Way longer than any other vaporizer that I know of, including the Plenty, which is probably the second longest. Not only is the vapor path long for extra vapor cooling effectiveness but it also features a Stainless Steel Vortex Spiral that spirals your vapor into smooth, Rocky Mountain air freshness. A long vapor path is awesome but it’s also a pain to clean but definitely more awesome. The Sidekick’s vapor path is broken up into 3 or 4 main parts; The air intake / chamber / Stir Lid, the Vortex Spiral path, a Silicone / Stainless Steel connector and finally the mouthpiece / tube path. All of which can be completely removed and cleaned! So air enters through a series of 8 holes on the body, beside the heater which gains heat as it goes around and up through the 8 holes in the chamber, through your herb, through the Stainless Steel screen of the Stir Lid, along a sandwich of Stainless Steel of the Stir Lid and down into the 2nd path. The 2nd path goes from the top of the unit, through a tiny Silicone section and into the Vortex, which is housed inside a Brass tube or choose to take the Vortex out but it adds 7 more inches of vapor path and then into the 3rd path. The 3rd path is a Silicone U-shape connector with a Stainless Steel bottom, which connects the Vortex path to the mouthpiece path. Finally the vapor leaves the Silicone U and enters another tube, I believe a Stainless Steel tube where the mouthpiece sits inside and the vapor exits through. Altogether a long a crazy ride from air intake to vapor exit but it’s an important path that really does an amazing job cooling the vapor and allowing it to expand. Some prefer a short path, it may produce more potent vapor and some may prefer a longer path for smoother, more filtered vapor but it also may be less potent. I have not noticed if the vapor is less potent with the Sidekick but it is smooth and the effects are definitely there. You can choose to also remove the Vortex altogether for a slightly less restricted draw and for some reason, I have noticed that the flavor seems to be somewhat better without the Vortex. For the absolute coolest, smoothest draw, take the Vortex out, pop it in the freezer, get your bubbler in there too and then pull them out when their both good and cold, add your cold water and prepare for some amazingly cool and comfortable vapor. I am skeptical about whether the vapor actually follows the Vortex path, spiraling all the way down or does the vapor just pass down the side of the Vortex, along the tube? The Vortex doesn’t have a super tight fit, especially around the spirals, so I think the vapor could more easily by-pass the spiral and just go straight down. Either way, the Vortex adds some filtering action but I will try to come up with a test for the spiral action of the Vortex.
Stir your herbs 
Sidekicks has 3 simple buttons to control the device; Power / Heat, Up and Down Arrows. The buttons are metal and have a great click so you know your hitting the button. Hold the power button to turn the device on and use your Up and Down Arrows to select your level and then hit the Power button once to start heating. I’m not a fan of the 5 clicks to power on a device, so I’m glad you just have to hold the power instead. The timer will start counting once the device starts heating and it will vibrate twice, letting you know its ready to use. The timer is nice feature and I like to know how long it took to heat up and how long my session lasted.
the bottom of the unit, inside a plastic shell that is directly below the chamber. They are accessed underneath yet another metal part, the battery door. The battery door is nice and has a good latching system which stays shut. Opposite side of the battery door latch is a small plastic notch that the battery door hooks into and its quite thin. I can easily see this piece breaking at which point you will have to find another way to hold your battery door in place. Mine has held up fine but I am typically careful with all of my vapes.
I really enjoy using the Sidekick, it’s fun, easy and effective. Loading the device is easy but it’s also easy to get herb all over the top of the device and into the Vortex Vapor Path if your not careful but I made a screen “plug” that fits into that hole, preventing any debris to enter that vapor path. I recommend grinding your herb medium or fine, but constantly so there aren’t any big chucks, so everything gets heated at the same rate. I like to fill the chamber to the bottom of the Silicone Seal around the chamber and keep it loose. I found that filling the chamber to much or packing to tight can make it hard to replace the Stir Lid on top and can make stirring harder. Also, if you over pack, I have found that some herb likes to stick to the top of the Stir Arm so often it remains in-vaped because it hasn’t had a chance to come in contact with the heated walls. This chamber is also good with small amounts and that Stir Lid makes sure your heating every piece. I have noticed that with smaller amounts, my ABV is usually darker than it would be if it was a fuller chamber, so sometimes I’ll turn down the heat a little to compensate.
I prefer to use my “First Run” Sidekick on levels 4 – 5.5 ( 330F – 357F ) or around 5 – 6.5 (320F – 365F ) on the “Second Run” Sidekicks, which have a slightly different temperature range. I found the relatively lower levels produced better tasting vapor for longer and yet still provide rich, fully browned ABV. I typically start my vape at lower temps to savor the flavor and then turn them up later for the effect, after the flavor has fallen off. I thought the temps on the Sidekick seemed fairly consistent with my other conduction vapes and produced similar colored ABV but maybe ran slightly hotter than my other vapes. My sessions typically last around 5 minutes with the Sidekick and I find that the materail is mostly spent by then but sessions with concentrates can last quite a bit longer and a little goes a long way. The dry material ABV is always uniform and evenly heated, thanks to the Stirring Mechanism and you can be assured that the Sidekick will extract all the necessary active ingredients of your herbs. The Sidekick can definitely roast your herb to the point of near combustion, so if your someone who prefers a thicker vapor, the Sidekick can provide it but it can also produce, light refreshing vapor with full flavor and a mild effect if that’s what your after.
ny grinders over the years and they are basically the same old thing with the same old “teeth.” I have always been partial to the classic metal grinders and some of my favorites have been; Cali Crusher Homegrown, Sanat Cruz Shredders, SLX 2.0 (non-stick), SpaceCase Titanium, the classic Storz and Bickel acrylic grinder and my daily driver the GR8TR VAPE by Kannastor because of it’s ability to grind specifically for vapes, meaning super fine and even, always. My new favorite is the LinCig grinder, similar to the Lift Innovations grinder that has a completely new blade system, instead of teeth, which I HIGHLY recommend checking them out.
this review, I will be testing the Black Chewy with a plastic body ($49.99) but they also come with metal bodies ($89.99). The Chewy uses a 9V battery to power it and features a sharp rotating blade, not teeth, like traditional grinders and forward / reverse buttons that control the blade. The design is thoughtful, effective and compact. I especially like that the internals come out for cleaning because it will get sticky with use, so it’s very important to clean your Chewy occasionally to keep it running smooth. The Chewy’s flat design makes it possible to carry in your pocket, unlike other grinders that are too bulky and Chewy allows you to store your herb inside, so whenever your ready you just have to hit the buttons and out comes your ground herb.
was somewhat disappointed with the plastic body of my Chewy and I plan to eventually spring for the metal body, which I hope will be a little more ridged and provide better durability. The Chewy is fairly solid and with a battery, it has good balance and fits the hand nicely. I would have liked to see the edges of the Chewy to be more rounded for more comfortably but it’s not bad or awkward. On the top are the controls, the back opens up for the battery and the bottom is the business end where you load your material and the chopping takes place.
can be completely pulled out and act as a good bowl or chamber packer with this flat end opposite of the poker. As you open the Chewy door, it pulls a strap that is attached to the “pusher block” and cocks it into a locked position when the door is fully opened, allowing you to load your material in the “sleeve.” When your done loading, close the door fully and hit a button on the Chewy to release the pusher which presses your material tightly against the blade and feeds your material as your grind away. The pusher block has a couple of groves in it’s side that follow a track in the sleeve, so it stays on track and moves smoothly. The spring is powerful enough and does a good job feeding the material into the blade and I typically only have problems if I am using a small amount of herb or the insides are dirty and sticky. Luckily, the sleeve and blade comes out easily, so your can clean it again and again. Sometime I have noticed that the pusher block doesn’t always reach the end of the track when I hit the release button, so I will open the door slightly and that usually does the trick.
hewy’s blades are very unique and there is nothing like them in any grinder. They feature 5 sharp blades that combine to make a cylindrical shape of slicing, cutting fury. The blade has a hole in the end that magnetically attaches to the motor that has a small end that pokes up and fits into the blade for rotation. The blade goes in easily and comes out easily as well and they have also added a small hole on the end of the blade that you can use the built in poker to remove the blade which will keep you from loosing a finger…..I think there is room for improvement with the blade and I have noticed that it works great with some herbs and not so well with other herbs, depending on moisture content, density and stickiness. There are small gaps between the 5 blades that make up the “cylinder” and if these gaps were smaller and maybe had more of these blades, I think that would allow for finer grinder and prevent large pieces from passing through the gaps. Another idea would be a cylinder that features a series of sharp holes like the Grinder Cards or a cheese grater that would spin and slice away at the herbs and with the re
movable blade design, I hope Chewy will some out with new blades for different materials and grind consistencies. Another area for improvement is the blade chamber which is plastic on this model but must be metal on the metal bodied Chewys. The blade is able to slightly rock a little on the motor end and sometimes the blade can get pretty close to these plastic walls and could possibly shave off a piece of plastic, so I wish they had added another removable metal sleeve for around the blade that would help prevent any unwanted plastic shavings.
Chewy’s back features a door that flips out on a hinge and is where your 9volt battery is inserted. The battery goes in and comes out fairly easily and it securely snaps into place. Although I haven’t had to change my battery yet, I wish they had used a rechargeable battery and allowed grinding while charging. There are rechargeable 9v batteries out there, so that’s the next thing I will be testing but I used a standard Energizer 9v for this review and it’s still going strong. I’ve had the same 9v battery since I got the Chewy in September 2016 and it’s got a lot of use. I tested the Chewy pretty heavily when I first got it and I am pleasantly surprised that the battery is still going but I have noticed some loss of power and sometimes it binds up a little, now that battery is getting weaker. It’s hard to gauge the exact battery life of the Chewy because your only using it for a minute or so at a time and it may have to work harder with some herbs and less with others but according to their website, the Chewy can last up to 9 hours of continuous use! Overall, I have been happy with the battery life and I 
think it’s really quite battery efficient.
y’s motor and blade system seems to be pretty powerful and geared correctly. The blade spins very slow but it’s pretty powerful and I haven’t noticed the motor seizing up or stopping, until recently now that my battery is getting low but even now it still does pretty well.
e used your Chewy for a while and it’s stickier. A lot of times, I have to use the poker or something else to free up stuck herb and get it to go through the blade again or drop out the funnel. When the Chewy is fully loaded with the right herb, it is really nice and you can just aim the funnel over your chamber or bowl or paper and watch the herb fall into place. It also makes grinding on the go, much more convenient and less messy. You can also store your herb in the Sleeve or funnel ground up for immediate use but I typically don’t because it’s not sealed completely, so it smells and dries out quickly.
e Chewy is pretty easy to maintain and clean when the time comes. I like to brush mine out after using it and before I take it apart. A lot of sticky residue can build up quickly and it’s important to keep it clean, so the Pusher Block can freely move and feed your herb. All of the important parts that get the dirtiest, the Blade and the Sleeve come out and can soak in Alcohol for easy cleaning and the rest requires a little more work. The Blade comes out first, either carefully with your fingers or you can use the Poker to pop out the Blade using the hole. Next, comes the Sleeve, which will lift up and you can slide it off of the Pusher Block. While those pieces soak, I brush out the inside and get all the big stuff and come back with a q-tip with a little Alcohol, to get all the sticky stuff and clean up the door, the funnel and the Pusher Block. Make sure the sides of the Pusher Block are clean and your basically ready to reassemble after the 
Sleeve and Blade are done soaking and clean. It goes together in the opposite way, so take the Sleeve and start the Pusher Block, so it fits into the track and slide freely. Next, push the Sleeve into place, so that it’s fully seated. Now you can re-place the Blade, close the door and release the Pusher Block. Now your ready for more Chewing!
Introduction
Haze V3 is the Swiss Army Knife of vaporizers! It does it all and it does it amazingly. concentrates, herbs, and oils, the V3 turns your material of choice into vapor with an array of accessories, screens and add-ons, there is something for everyone. If MacGyver vaped on his missions, he would likely choose the V3 for it’s all-in-one performance.
nless Steel)
he V3’s design is compact, comfortable, practical, effective and durable. It’s unique shape feels equally well in your hand as it does in your pocket with it’s “curved” sides that hug you securely. Overall, the Haze feels very solid and reliable with it’s impact resistant battery latch to it’s re-enforced inner housing that can apparently withstand the weight of a motorcycle! It’s everything as portable vaporizer should be without all the nonsense and it’s a vape I can count on to deliver the goods. Haze even offers a 10 year warranty, which is pretty amazing and I believe it can definitely last that long with average maintenance.
When you hold the V3 in your hand, you will most likely agree that it’s pretty bullet proof and quite possibly, literally bullet proof! Solid materials and solid construction make for a solid vape with little slop or rattling parts. The V3 is almost entirely plastic with the exception of a few key metal parts and the high temperature resistant, reinforced fiberglass material of the inner housing. The top and bottom of the device are in fact metal and it provides a quality feel and also balances the device nicely. It holds well in your hand and the curved sides make it comfortable to hold. The exterior is ISO and water resistant so clean-up is easy and worry free, unlike some vaporizers and parts I’ve cleaned in the past that have discolored, warped and faded with ISO.
lock or less flimsy but it does the job and stays shut, although a magnetic lock would be nice instead. The removable / replaceable chamber seals are very nice and they attach to the chamber door with a layer of Silicone, so not only does it keep the chambers nice and sealed, it also keeps it insulated. It would be cool and practical if you had a Glass window on the chamber door above the chambers to see what’s in there, to watch the vapor and keep your chambers straight. The back side of the device also actually pops open like the chamber door, so you can even get behind that if need be.
The V3 is easy to operate and adjust it’s temperature. Basically, just move the chamber selector lever to one side or the other to select your chamber and doing so, turns on the unit and it starts heating immediately to. To change your temperature, just hit the top button ( temperature selector button ) and notice the LED’s on the front; 1 LED for 365F, 2 LED for 380F, 3 LED for 390F and all 4 LED for 415F. The LED’s are nice and bright enough but the chamber door’s holes don’t line up perfectly with the LED’s, so some are slightly more covered than others and I thought they could have made that look a little nicer. You have 4 temperatures to choose from: ( 365F, 380F, 390F and 415F ) where you can vape dry material on all 4 temperatures and 390F and 415F are best suited for concentrates, although I get vapor on all 4 using concentrates, even temp. 1 but it’s definitely thin and wispy.
Chambers
ome vapes claim “Dual Purpose” like the Haze but I don’t think any of them do both, as good as the Haze and as easily as the Haze with the exception of the Sidekick. The Sidekick vaporizer by 7th Floor Vapes is on the same level as the Haze in terms of ease of use, efficiency and ability to vape both mediums. Most vapes usually require wicks, steel pads or extreme heat to get good vapor but the Haze makes it effortless and the V3’s can pre-pack system is about as easy and mess free as you can get, they don’t require wicks or pads and they just really work. I also love that you have some variety between the way you load and use your Haze and you can choose from; “Conduction screens” that are open on two sides and offer more Conduction Heat, “Convection screens” which is basically a rectangular screen basket with screen on all sides but the top and offer less Conduction Heat and finally, the “cans” that offer pre-pack abilities, less mess and a contained load inside a Stainless Steel can. Whether you prefer to use the screens and load the chamber that way or use the cans and pre-pack, there’s something for everyone and you will get results. I prefer the cans and find them the most convenient for on the go use, provide excellent vapor and even heating and they keep the device super clean. The cans are a contained unit with a “sheet screen” that drops on top and a tab holds it in place with holes on the top and on one side that faces the vapor path. A track for the can’s top screen to slide into could be an improvement over the tab system that sometimes likes to pop off but they really work just fine. The concentrate can features the same base as the dry material can but instead has a Silicone top that specially designed to allow air flow and prevent leakage. I never had a problem with concentrates running out but I used very small amounts. I think these dry / concentrate cans are the best design I’ve come across for all materials and that make vaping anything easy and less messy without having to use steel pads that get dirty after one use or wicks that are good for one use etc but the cans can just be wiped out while still hot and they will taste and work as good as the first time.
The Haze V3 has a very nice, comfortable mouthpiece and you can choose between Stainless Steel or Glass. I haven’t noticed a huge difference between the two materials but I would say the Glass may have slightly better flavor but the Stainless Steel seems to maybe have a slightly smoother draw. I still prefer the Stainless Steel most of the time but I do really like the feel of the Glass. The mouthpiece can be adjusted to any height, so you can have it short and discreet, fully extended for slightly cooler hits or anywhere in-between. The new design of the mouthpiece tip allows users to more easily grab it and extended it that the old version that was smooth but I wish they had a washer or “handle” around the mouthpiece, so you could grab that, rather than touch the very end where you will be inhaling from, especially if you have dirty fingers. I do really like that it stores away inside the body for portability and cleanliness but I wish you could keep it extended with the unit Off to clear the vapor path but the design does not allow that with the battery in place. The mouthpiece appears to have a seal near the top that holds it in place at any level and I haven’t noticed any stickiness after I’ve used the device for awhile but apparently that was an issue in their prior model, so I’d say they did a good job fixing that.
The unit comes with (2x) 2600 mAh rechargeable Li-Ion batteries, although you can purchase Extended Life (XL) batteries at 3200 mAh Li-Ion, which are one of the largest size 18650 batteries available and they provide 35% more session time. Both batteries come with a built-in PCB protection circuit, which prevents over discharge and extends the batteries life and they say to only use the Haze external charger for charging. I really wish they offered a Pass-Through system on the V3 for use while charging but you’ll most likely be using this device on the go, so not a big deal.
up. You will get a Red LED if your battery is really low and the LED’s will be dimmer as well but usually by then it’s too late and your not gonna have enough power for a session.
As with most Conduction based vaporizers like the Haze, these vaporizers put out thick vapor that’s typically cooler than Convection based vaporizers and the flavor can be amazing, especially at first but I typically find that it tends to fade quicker than Convection vapes whose flavor lasts longer. With that being said, the V3 is a top Conduction vaporizer. I still prefer the vapor from Convection vaporizers more often because of the flavor, greater control of vapor quality / production, less rushing because it’s not always heating your material but Conduction has it’s own advantages over Convection as well.
all types of weather and in all temperatures too. I tested this thing in the dead of Michigan Winter and it amazed me. Even though the LED light blinked more often when it was super cold, it still kept up enough to always produce a huge hit which definitely can’t be said about all vapes. Most vapes have a problem with cold outside temperatures, they bring the vapes temp down too quickly for it to heat back up and your left with weak vapor but the Haze has a new precise temperature regulator that maintains vapor production in any condition and at any altitude according to Haze. I couldn’t test the altitude claim but I don’t doubt the V3 will deliver!
The Haze is also great with concentrates. I think it is one of the best portable vapes for concentrates, thanks to the powerful Conduction Heat and the concentrate cans. These cans make vaping concentrates easy and relatively mess free because you don’t need and steel pads, wicks or exposed coils. Just put a rice grain size of your favorite concentrate in the can and seal it with the Silicone lid or use the dry material screens for traditional extracts or dryer extracts. You can get light flavor and some wispy vapor on temp 1 but I recommend temp 3 and 4 for concentrates. The vapor tastes great and you get a lot from a little material and its very efficient in that sense because some vapes require a fair amount to get some good vapor but the thoughtful design of the cans makes it very efficient. I prefer the vapor out of this device over coil pens because its; smoother and you get a constant hit. The vapor can definitely be a little harsher than the dry material but your likely using higher temps so just puff on it and it’s perfect.
chambers to the main tube is a little tighter, so I’ll just twist up a little paper towel with some ISO and use that to get in there. Everything else should stay clean and the outside of the device is ISO and water resistant so it’s also fine to wipe that down too. One other area to clean is the chamber seals and they can be wiped off while they’re still hot to save you time down the road and / or they can be cleaned with ISO but I just don’t recommend soaking the Silicone at all or for too long because it can discolor, fade and eventually ruin some Silicone. You can also by replacement chamber seals on their website for $5.00.
The Haze V3 is a serious vaporizer with serious features and powerful effects. I would recommend this vaporizer to anyone, people new to vaping and experienced vapers as well. It’s easy to use, maintain and you get great vapor anyway you pack it. The V3 offers users a lot of variety and accessories, even water pipes, so there is likely something for everyone. This is a vape you can rely on and it’s definitely a vape I bring on the go and especially on extended outings with its impressive battery life and the ability to carry spares for back-up. The Haze does it all, so if your into dry material, concentrates, Juice or all of them, this device can dish out the vapor no matter what your into. I think this vape delivers great, thick, comfortable and flavorful vapor that packs a punch no matter how or what you pack in those chambers. Although the Haze is a great vape, I have a few minor issues with the design of the device and I would have liked to see more temperatures and a better battery indicator. If your looking for one vape to do it all, the Haze V3 is your vape.
Elo is an unusual vaporizer and it’s different than anything I have tried before. It’s rather simple looking on the outside but when you open up all the sliding doors and swing open the oven, you’ll quickly realize that there is nothing quite like it, which makes me like it even more. There are so many vaporizers coming out and so many of them are copies or clones of another vaporizer, so it’s nice to see something completely different and unique.
The Elo body is very sturdy, solid and it’s constructed out of aluminum, which gives it a nice heft. The top and bottom of the device are plastic but the aluminum shell makes it feel very durable and has a nice, smooth matte finish.
fully lowered. The third and final sliding door is located on the opposite side and this sliding door reveals the LCD, “Plus” and “Minus” buttons as well as the AC Charging Port. I really like the addition of these sliding doors and buttons, as they keep everything tucked away, safely inside the device while your not using it, so everything stays in its place and stays clean.
The Elo can be powered on by holding the On / Off button for 2 seconds and you will see the power button light up and the LCD turn on. The power button features a color changing LED light that changes color based on your temperature range selection;
fter you have turned Elo on, the device starts heating up and from there you can set your temperature using the “Plus” or “Minus” buttons to make your selection with 9°F increments from 302°F to 410°F. The LCD indicates the battery level, set temperature and the Celsius or Fahrenheit indicator, which can be switched by holding the “Plus” button for 5 seconds to toggle between the two. The LCD is very simple and basic and it does not show the devices temperature as it gets hotter, instead the On / Off LED light flashes until it turns solid, indicating that device has reached your desired temperature. I would have loved to see the actual temperature indicated as well as the set temperature so you always know where your at.
he main feature that makes the Elo so special and unique, is it’s removable material chamber, called the “Chip.” Elo allows users to swap out Chips with different materials to suit your needs, which makes vaping on the go easy and convenient. Elo’s Chip system works very well and I found it to be especially useful on the go, where I can have a Chip loaded in Elo and two extra Chips loaded and packed in the included Chip case for quick, hassle free vaping out and about.
debris that can often fall through the cracks and otherwise be very difficult to remove. Yet another bonus to the Chip design allows you have a different loaded Chip for your every mood or preference, so you could have a Chip loaded with an herb that is more energetic for daytime use and another Chip filled with an herb that is more relaxing for night vaping. Although I think a removable chamber has more benefits than drawbacks, there are a few to discuss. The main drawback is that they usually require more time and patience loading them at home, since there are a few parts to assemble, they can be fairly small, hard to grasp and put together. Removable chambers can also pose other issues, such as creating more areas where extra air to be drawn into the pathways, as the fittings and seals may not always be perfect, so potentially, they can dilute the vapor and this is somewhat true with the Elo. With the Elo’s complex Chip system, there is some room around the Chip where air can be pulled in, which can make the vapor thinner and weaker but on the plus side, it can also make the vapor cooler and smoother but I will go into further detail later on. One other thing to consider, removable chambers can also get lost, loose parts or wear over time, which can be also be good and bad. On one hand, you can usually replace the part instead of the whole unit, which can save you big time but it also means that you more likely to have to replace 
something down the road when it gets lost or breaks. It really comes down to personal preference but for me, I’m a sucker for a removable chamber like the Chip, Inhalaters’ Capsule System, Hazes’ Cans etc. and I think the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
Elo’s vapor.
reasons but I would have liked to see an inner layer of metal for strength and the additional S.S. could also improve the flavor over plastic. I will go into further detail about the vapor in the Vaporization section. On top of the heater is the lower Silicone seal that presses against the bottom portion of the Chip, creating a seal. This Silicone piece is removable for cleaning and I recommend soaking briefly and scrubbing all Silicone, plastic and metal pieces before vaporization to help remove any extra tastes, residues, oils that come from these materials and from the manufacturing process / assembly of these devices. I have noticed that the Silicone and or plastic around the heater and or Chip creates a slight Silicone taste and smell at times, more so during the end of my session when the unit has been on for a while and is much hotter but again, it’s not enough for it to ruin the herbs flavor in my opinion.
The heater is held in place on a hinge that connects it to the body of the Elo. As I have mentioned, by removing the heater from the main body, the electronics, the battery and your hand will stay cool during vaporization which is a great design. The heater can definitely get hot to the touch during use but there is plenty of cool Elo body to hang on to, so it’s not an issue but I would have loved to see some heat sinks or ribbing like they used in the Crafty and Mighty vaporizers deign, which do a great job keeping the unit cool I would have liked to see the hinge beefed up a little because this is an area of high stress and it will be used often, so there is the potential for breakage if your not too careful but I have not had any issues yet. There are also some wires that pass through this hinge area, so there is potential of the wires breaking like the dreaded Ascent that had it’s oven on a swivel and those wires often broke in the early versions until they corrected the issue. I have taken one of my Elo’s apart and there is plenty of wire length to freely move when opening and closing the oven, so it won’t put stress on the connections and I doubt if we will see an issue with wires breaking.
Unfortunately, the Elo does not allow for users to vaporize during charging and the battery is not user replaceable. This is one of my major criticisms of this device and its so sad to see a vaporizer that doesn’t feature either one of these. Batteries eventually all loose capacity and become weaker over time, so eventually they will all need replacements. When the user can’t replace the battery, then the vaporizer becomes useless, unless the manufacturer provides replacements like the Crafty and Mighty Battery Program where it cost up to $40 to replace their batteries.
usually require more energy than conduction vaporizers and with Elo’s relatively large heater, it uses a lot of juice, so that can explain why the battery life isn’t that great.
Elo is very user friendly and easy to use. When you first open the box, you will see a quick start guide and within 6 simple steps, you will be up and vaping!
screen down all the way, so it’s touching the herb, but again, not compressing it, so the herb stays in place while the air is drawn through. One thing I dislike about the mesh screens is that they are tricky to place and remove and they can eventually get frayed with repeated use. I also have some difficulties clipping the S.S. material chamber into the Chip body and if it doesn’t snap in easily, I recommend turning it 180 and trying it that way and usually, one seems to go in easier than the other. Once the chambers are snapped into the Chip, they are pretty secure and stay put.
but it’s completely normal and it will go away in a few seconds. The Elo heats up quite fast and it usually doesn’t take more than 40-50 seconds to reach any temperature. The battery level indicator on the LCD likes to jump around when the unit is heating up, so wait for the unit to reach temperature before checking the level and it should indicate an accurate level at that point.
In short, the Elo produces nice, smooth, cool vapor that is flavorful but its not as thick or as visible as most vaporizers on a similar temperature. This is both good and bad. On one hand, I would like to see more, thicker, fuller vapor as it is often thin and feels slightly “airy.” On the other hand, the vapor is incredibly smooth, cool and comfortable and it never seems hot or scratchy, unlike a lot of convection style vaporizers that can be harsh or hot. I have noticed that the Elo seems to run cooler than most other vaporizers and I tend prefer using the Elo at 383°F-392 which would be way too hot in my Crafty, Mighty, Volcano etc. Even at that relatively high temperature, the vapor is still not thick or really cloudy but if you compare that to the Crafty the difference is huge and 383°F on the Elo is more like 340°F on the Crafty or around there. This dosne’t really bother me too much but I would have loved to see more vapor, although I do love how smooth it is. I actually prefer the thinner, smoother vapor at times because I can just “sip” away on the vapor, taking a number of inhalations to extract the chamber, where as other vapes, you’ve reached your desired effect in just a few inhaaltions. Theres no doubt that the Elo is vaporizings your materiasl, it just seems like a much gentler, slower process than some, maybe because it’s more convection than most vaporizers like the Crafty. I don’t understand why 350°F on one vape is complelty different than 350°F on another vaporizer and you would think they should be the same, produce the same vapor, extract your material with the same amount of inhalations but they are rarely cocnstant. Each vaporizer reads and measures temperatures differently, from different areas in the vaporizer and they all heat differently with different sources, different voltages etc. so that can explain a lot.
have been happy with the Elo’s vapor production and I really enjoy using this vaporizer.
Overall, the Elo is a solid vaporizer. Elo happens to be one of my favorite vaporizers to use because of its design and aesthetics. If there were vaporizers in the 80’s, they’d probably look like the Elo and I mean that in the best way. May not be the smallest or lightest vaporizer out there but its defiantly one of the most unique and unusual. I think the Chip system is great and it really makes vaporizing on the go quick, easy and mess free. Although there are a lot of things I love about Elo, there are a few things I would like to change and probably the biggest thing would be a new design with less Silicone and Less Plastic, as well as a removable battery. Also, I would like to see a more accurate and wider temperature range, a working draw sensor and an actual temperature read-out on the LCD Screen. I would definitely recommend this vaporizer but not to everyone, especially people who may have difficulty with small pieces and people who like thick, cloudy vapor, otherwise Elo is a fun vape that belongs in any serious vipers collection.
