Review: Vie Vaporizer
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Vie<\/h3>\n

How it Works<\/h3>\n

Once you\u2019ve filled the cannabis chamber with 0.2 grams of lightly tamped herb, you\u2019ll want to triple click the power button to turn the unit on. The device will automatically begin heating to the selected temperature setting in around 60 seconds of time. At this point you can change between heating modes to better dial in your session:<\/p>\n

Direct load mode<\/strong>: With the indicator light slowing blue, the device will be set for loading cannabis into the chamber without a capsule. It\u2019ll be set at a lower heat level than the other settings.<\/p>\n

Herb capsule mode:<\/strong> Indicated by the red power light, the temperature will be slightly higher to accommodate for use with the herb capsules.<\/p>\n

Concentrates mode: <\/strong>Shown by the purple light, this is the highest temperature setting intended only<\/em> for use with concentrates! Do not<\/em> use this setting with dry herb as it will <\/em>combust!<\/p>\n

The device will automatically shut off if it doesn\u2019t detect a draw in the last three minutes which is a convenient feature. The Vie includes a convenient standby feature as well, which will keep the chamber heated to the chosen heating modes temperature, and a quick tap of the power button will raise the temperature back up to the preset temperature.<\/p>\n

\"Vie<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>

\n

\"Vie<\/p>\n

Temperature Flexibility<\/h3>\n

While we get those intricate standby mode and three different heating profiles, we\u2019re not actually given the exact temperatures that the standby temperatures sit at.<\/p>\n

We do however know the individual adjustable temperature levels which are at 170, 200, 220 and 250\u00b0C, or 338, 392, 428 and 482\u00b0F. These are acceptable however the highest temperature setting should only be used for cannabis concentrates and never cannabis.<\/p>\n

For a device in this price range compared to its competition such as the Focus V Pro<\/a>, the temperature flexibility of the Vie Vaporizer is pretty poor. In the current year, nearly every budget device comes with full temperature control and there\u2019s no excuse not to have that. <\/div><\/div>

\n

\"Vie<\/h3>\n

Vapor Quality<\/h3>\n

The vapor quality from the Vie is underwhelming. While the cooling path in the mouthpiece does a decent job at smoothing the hit out before it reaches your lungs, the flavour, potency and cloud production from the Vie is below average. Any of the three vaporizers mentioned at the top of the page including others such as the Firefly 2+<\/a> will far outperform the Vie vaporizer in every aspect.<\/p>\n

The plastic mouthpiece and cooling unit also dilutes the flavour and even adds a bit of plastic-y taste to it, which isn\u2019t appealing by any means. The flavour from the cannabis is the typical \u2018roasted popcorn\u2019 flavour after the first few hits which are characteristic of most conduction based devices. <\/div><\/div><\/span>

\n

\"Vie<\/h3>\n

Manufacturing Quality<\/h3>\n

The Vie has a mixed build quality. The aluminum on the unit looks and feels nice, however, the plastic trim pieces and makes it feel cheaper than it should and pales in comparison against devices like the Zeus Zeus Arc GTS Hub<\/a>. We do however appreciate the engineering behind the mouthpiece with its adjustable airflow settings, the standby feature and pod capsule system, however, the buttons, lights and other aspects of the device feel as though they skimped out on the manufacturing.<\/p>\n

Included in the box is a good array of accessories with 3 herb capsules, a concentrates capsule, capsule carrying tube, 5 spare screens, USB charger, brushes, picks, cleaning cloth, extra chamber lids and SIM ejection tool. This leaves us more than satisfied in this regard.<\/p>\n

\"Vie<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/span>

\n

\"VieBattery Life<\/h3>\n

Vie hasn\u2019t put out any numbers telling us the battery capacity, however in our tests we\u2019ve gotten around 4 sessions at medium temperature settings before needing to plug it in. The battery is not user replaceable and doesn\u2019t have pass-through charging either. It\u2019ll take roughly 2-3 hours to top up from flat until full as well.<\/p>\n

This is also slightly disappointing as we\u2019ve seen even smaller units like the Davinci IQC<\/a> sport a much stronger battery life.<\/div><\/div><\/span>

\n

\"Vie<\/h3>\n

Portability<\/h3>\n

The Vie is well sized and fits nicely into any palm or pocket. The included pod container also allows you to take a few doses with you anywhere you go, which makes it really nice for taking out and about.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s not as petite as units like the Pax 3<\/a> or Fury 2, it definitely does the trick. <\/div><\/div>

\n

\"Vie<\/p>\n

Ease of Use<\/h3>\n

There\u2019s a bit of a learning curve in understanding the temperature settings, different modes and what all the different lights mean. On the other hand, it\u2019s a simple process to share with friends as there\u2019s no draw technique to think of \u2013 just inhale and off you go!<\/p>\n

Cleaning is a bit more of a pain, and it reminds me of the process behind cleaning the cooling unit on the <\/a>Mighty<\/a>. Many cotton swabs soaked in isopropyl alcohol and sometimes will get it pretty well cleaned, however, it\u2019s important to do this every 5-10 sessions to ensure optimal performance of your device. This may be a bit too much for frequent consumers. <\/div><\/div>

\n

\"Vie<\/h3>\n

Discreetness<\/h3>\n

With the small size, the Vie can go with you practically anywhere. It can also be dismissed as a power bank if left out on the table or in your pocket which is nice for discretion.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not hard to enjoy this device in public as it conceals nicely in the hand without being conspicuous, however, users looking for a more discreet unit tend to prefer devices like the Davinci Miqro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>

\n

\"VieOverall Experience<\/h3>\n

The Vie has some innovative and interesting features, however, it really falls flat in the overall performance.<\/p>\n

The battery is very underwhelming, the vapor quality is below average, no precise temperature control and okay build quality makes it a miss in our books. The idea and thought behind the device is there, however, we really can\u2019t get behind the performance.<\/p>\n
