Vaporizer Woes..

Hi,

I'm looking to find information on how to fix my Deluxe Daddy Vaporizer (or Vapor Daddy Deluxe).

Last night, my vaporizer was working fine, just like day 1, which I bought in early November. I turned off the vaporizer, left it where I always leave it, which has PLENTY of ventilation, and went to bed.

I woke up the next morning for a wake n' bake, turned on the vaporizer, then went to the bathroom for about 5 minutes or so, came back in, and the vaporizer was not heating. At all.

All the lights were working fine, but absolutely nothing was warm, and actually rather cold from the room temperature...
The heating element inside is rather cool, and will not heat. It's properly placed inside, touching the correct areas to start the warmth, but nothing. The protective glass around it is also screwed in properly.

My entire vaporizer looks, and performed, like brand new.

I have used it everyday, 3-6 times a day with my fiance. So maybe it was the end of that elements life span?
Does this sound like the element is gone, and now all I need is a new one?

Any help would be great!

Thanks!

Contact the company and maybe they will be a good manufacturer and hook you up with a new one. Could be some shotty wiring, could be a bad heating element, could be a bunch of things. Clean up spic'n'span and then send it back to the company for a looksee.

Yeah, I've opened 'er up (without voiding warranty) and all wires/soldering; anything, everything is just like it was day 1.
There is no sign of anything wrong inside, it all looks great!

If it is the heating element, do you know how much a replacement ceramic element would be?
http://www.vapordaddy.com/replacement-parts.html This is the official website for my vape, and if you scroll down (the picture is wrong btw..) you can find "Replaceable ceramic element for Deluxe Daddy"; no price given, so just curious as to how much they go for.

I've never used a Vapor Daddy, but I owned a cheap knock off box-type vape like yours and it was terrible. It broke twice, (they replaced it the first time and the one they sent broke too) at which point I decided to invest in something a bit more substantial.

I went with an herbalaire and couldn't be happier with it. If you order from their website (http://www.herbalaire.com/shop.htm) you get free shipping and a 3 year warranty.

I learned about it through this thread----> https://www.rollitup.org/medical-marijuana-news/304788-new-herbalaire-h2-1-full.html

I'm not sure if your vape came with any kind of warranty, but if you need to replace it I highly recommend this model.

The Deluxe Daddy has every piece replaceable, just went down to my local shop, and the guy hooked me up with a new element ($15) and it's back to normal! Pretty high atm..

Also, the website offer's a 3 year warranty on all elements, but they usually burn out within 3~6 months, if on most of the day, everyday.

So problem solved! Thanks for the help guys!

yes. the vapor daddy guys have a very good customer service. replacement is no problem and you can easily exchange it yourself.
btw. here you can find a pretty good deluxe daddy vaporizer review

Thats cool that they make them so easily replaceable - the classic VaporBros box is a great design, and replaceability goes a long way. Next time the element goes, you should pop in a $4 ceramic heating element, its a serious upgrade from the nichrome one thats standard. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2pcs-Soldering-Station-Soldering-Iron-Ceramic-Core-Heating-Element-220V-50W-9-/281047630606?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item416fbe830e

BTW folks the above can be used as an electric wand for your concentrate bowl, can be mounted beneath/above (depending on if its for herb or oil) a fritted disc to make the fritted disc self heating (no torch needed), and can be used with a regular bowl for vaping herb. Totally worth the $4 for element, and additional $2 for wiring/knobs at home depot (if you are making your own power supply for it)
