Wax Maxer Concentrate Pen

Flavour, Vapour production and build quality are all amazing on this vape.

At first, this was a great vape. I had been waiting for it to go on sale since it seemed like a great option for concentrates. When I first got it, I really liked it. The flavor was great and it worked. However, I noticed something about the construction of the ceramic heater right away. There is a raised ceramic circle in the bowl which contains wire used to heat the ceramic. Even on the max temp setting, anything on the outside of this circle does not fully vaporize. And on the max temp setting, any concentrate on the ceramic circle will burn, so it's hard to get everything to vaporize evenly. Because of that, I tried to "stir" the concentrate a bit and scoop it on top of the ceramic circle. Unfortunately, the little circle popped off a bit, exposing the wires underneath and the hole that leads to the bottom of the heating chamber and the connection to the battery. I tried to shove it back, but the wires had bent making that impossible. I ordered another two heaters from Elev8 themselves. One ceramic and one quartz for fun. I did not have the same problem with these, but after a while of use I noticed another design flaw when I went to clean the bowls from use. There is no seal between the heated ceramic/quartz core in the bowl and the empty space beneath where the wires meet the connection with the battery. Some of my concentrate had obviously seeped into that empty space. I realized this after trying to clean it with isopropyl alcohol. I had to try and carefully burn everything off with continuous heating cycles on the max temp setting after leaving it to dry, and when I held the pen upside down, I still had ISO and concentrate leaking out of the bowl from underneath the ceramic core. After spending too much money on shipping from elev8 in the US for extra heaters that are now perhaps unsafe to use because of the trapped ISO in the heating chamber, I'm a bit "done" with this vape and underwhelmed. I'm assuming most of the reviews online are straight out of the box. If it wasn't for the heater construction this would be a great vape, but the design flaws lead to issues over time.
