Comments

I get that the manufacturer handled the defect (suspected foreign material in the airpath) poorly but I do love this vape and it is my most frequent reach. Going on 2 years now.

You’re not alone. It’s an excellent unit and it’s a shame they botched it so badly the first time.

Halogens are an ideal heater type for tasters. They just peel away layers of flavor in a really gentle way. A halogen battery portable is a unicorn in the DHV space so I’m glad the AEv2 exists and that I own one.

I use mine with the POTV Gordito and temp step.

Cool. I temp-step too and I bought the programming cable (dumb, should’ve been bundled btw) and discovered the default temps weren’t what was in the manual, so I put in my preferred range 165C, 180C, 190C, 205C, 220C if I remember correctly.

Mine has always been a good performer. Today’s version is downright pristine inside with air as the thermal insulator.

Great vaporizer. Sad how it all went down, but I remain hopeful for new vapes from them.

I watched Bings Buddery’s teardown of the V1 and V2 which gave me comfort the new version is fine.

I have baby lungs but he pulls massive clouds from the AEV2!

Did you see YLLVape’s newest? The Scarlet. Looks pretty cool. Found out about it today.

Now I want it!

Always been a fan of Angus. Even named a cat after the vape.
Something particularly soft about the vapor. Halogen just hits differently.

sounds like a new thread is in order!

Saw this thread yesterday, and grabbed my Angus Enhanced V2.
It didn’t work. Huh.

Changed batteries.

Didn’t work.

Checked three other Angus, none worked.

So now I’m concerned. There is a real problem. Did they all die at once? How is that a thing?

Now, I’m pretty stoned, but not so stoned I don’t vaguely remember a power outage last month. The last time I remember using an Angus. Nothing wrong with Angus, Agnes, Ruby, or Magnus, but every battery is dead. Someone, and there is no reason to name names but it was me, was a jerk and forgot to charge batteries.

So not the loss of a line of vapes, but a failure of the operator. Which is actually better, cheaper, and less distressing. I can always get stoned to forget my failure.

Well, Scarlett, tomorrow is another day :grinning_face:

You have an external charger?

When I was a little kid I remember looking all over for something I had lost only to find it later in my hand​:flushed_face:

And this was long before I could blame it on being high.

Looks a lot like a device they were about to beta test with a few customers (like me) just before the shit hit the fan. I’d even bought batteries for it in anticipation. I’m definitely going to be interested when it’s back in stock.

Yes, and I’ve charged Angus and co. , and am working through batteries from the other portables that need it. The 10 hour outage was traumatic, and I blocked, just blocked, the memory of needing to charge the batteries. Likely, because I was stoned from going from portable to portable in a panic from not having a desktop or electric lights.
Usually it’s my Puffco PeakPro that I think I’ve killed but is just needing a charge.

Anyone here have a good source for AEV2 glass? I use a POTV Gordito with mine. Not a big fan of the included sidecar.

Found a very nice leather sleeve on Etsy.

Thanks all!

Current list price is $159 on YLLVAPE webaite.

Trying to figure out how to edit the description to flesh it out a bit.

I was the biggest fan of YLL and the OG Angus, got the AE right when it came out and it was a daily driver, well then the dike broke!

Shelved mine and never even cracked the box with the updated unit that Mike sent. About this time I had moved on to TB2 & then the Frolic.

Their new device looks promising, I just wonder if they can bounce back from such a public relations blunder? Even if the new model is stellar in all areas, many will avoid on principle.

I used to be fanboying these guys all over the place, had OG Angus 50 watt then the 100 watt model and jumped on the AE as soon as it came out.

not really sure about the fiberglass fiasco, would need to see 3rd. Party forensic level proof to believe it. However YLL response was slow & clumsy to say the least!

Bing’s Buddery on YT does a teardown of both the V1 and V2 if you are interested.

He also crafted a V1 “fix” for the airpath.
