Irish-made Iolites are way overpriced. Customer service department sucks. I had mine for less than a week when it stopped working. I've since fixed it, but it's broken again.
BTW: NOTE to Canadians - if you buy one and it breaks, you will have to ship it back to the US. Now think about this - what if US Customs seizes it en-route? I don't care how well you've cleaned it, if used for weed, you may be subject to criminal charges of smuggling and trafficking (it's impossible to get it clean)
Just bought one of these vaporizers for the wife yesterday for her ms but I don't understand the point of it, I don't get anything from it at all, just seem to be wasting nice weed.
dont pull on it when its heating up. otherwise you will inhalating unburned butan. Try it, when the vapo is empty. I promisse youll taste gas! Let him heat up, wait and then inhalate!!
I use power x5.. .and my iolight gets really hot on the outside after fusing the cape for a little bit.. the whole case get uncomfortably hot while in use. Is that normal or is this a problem
@grogbth Is there an add on device or anything where I could fit 10 grams of tobacco in the chamber and use it all day without having to refill? Or is this not how the device works? Also, how much can you fit in it in terms of gram size? Thanks very much
@Rachelseeme Yes you can, but uncured fresh green tobacco leaves will have more ammonia in it but less TSNAs, but if you use brown dropped leaves rather than fresh green, much of the ammonia will have dispersed. I have never actually found high amonia levels in my plants, possibly because I grow them without any fertilizer?
I am so fed up with Iolites at this point! I ordered a bran new one offline and it wouldn't work. Then I sent it back and ordered a new one and it didn't work either. I recommend buying a more reliable product.
Thank you for a very professional and top-notch video. I've found the Iolite a difficult filly to master. Your videos have alowed me to finally use the liote properly. I use mine for weed but I would like to try it for tobacco. BTW, how long does a single smoking session last? Having no tastebuds and the absence of smoke, I have trouble distinguishing hot air from my mj vape...
@nlpjohn Depends on the tobacco, dry hand rolling a few minutes, pipe tobacco maybe 5 and tobacco molasses 10-20 mins. For me it depends on where I am and whether I want a quick fix or a nice relaxing vape session. The IO is versatile in that way which suits me very well
looks like it has nice output, but i find this to be a bit larger, more fragiel, more costly, and not as quick as the other portable like the magic flight or vapir oxygen
I noticed you use rolling tobacco, would you recommend using pipe tobacco for use in the iolite? Why would you pick one over the other? I am finding this seemingly simple question, quiet hard to answer.
@chrispotter13 Pipe tobacco does work great. I simply have been unable to find one with a taste I like. Also it vaporizes more slowly. The more finely shredded RYOT releases nicotine quickly. American Spirit also contains 37% freebase nicotine which is very high meaning it is economical for me to use. I know people who use pipe tobacco in their IO and love it. Andy
@chrispotter13 I've been using some aromatic pipe tobacco for the past week, I think whatever chemicals they use to flavor the tobacco is irritating my throat though...
i'm going to pick up some plain old american spirit rolling tobacco and hopefully the irritation will go away.
It works for me, I use mine with tobacco almost full time. However there are better tobaccos to use than normal cigarettes. Try American Spirit hand rolling tobacco.
I'm thinking about growing my own and buying one of these. Does it "hit" like an e-cig? Visible vapour is something I've grown to associate with a hit, so does the lack of vapour minimise the hit? Cheers, good vids - keep em coming! :)
There is throat hit with good strong tobacco, but little visible vapour unless you mix with herbal molasses, or add a little VG. There is also a feeling of having had enough, unlike an ecig. The vapour is very much there, it's just not very cloudy and visible.
The unit is CE certified safe. Manufacturer Oglesby and Butler have a lot of experience, they own Portasol who make gas soldering irons - they work the same way.
you know what i never found tobacco to really work in my volcano, figured it was due to the higher boiling point of nicotine vs THC, still i guess it must do

So you can smoke tobacco uncured/fermented? How is that possible, isn't the ammonia still present and toxic even if you're not combusting it?
