Zenco Flow

[Cactus Squatter]

Just got one of these today and have been ripping some Rosin with my wife.
Extremely smooth and clean tasting hits on the 2nd and 3rd temperature levels. I haven’t tried it on high yet, but the lowest setting doesn’t do much for me. The two medium settings both taste great and cloud up quickly. I can take much larger hits and hold them without my throat bothering me.

It’s super easy to use, looks really easy to clean and is idiot proof. Time will tell how the battery life is. I’ll keep this thread updated as I use it/clean it/try not to drop it on my little toe.

The flavors have been outstanding.
Peyote Cookies, Aurora indica, Northern Lights have tasted better using this rig than any other way I’ve tried.

That looks so cool. Thanks, friend for the post.

Fancy looking thing. This is for BHO/rosin only?

You can also screw vape cartridges into the base as well as use flower in the ceramic burner, though I’ve heard flower isn’t as good out of them.

Ok, been using this for a little bit now.
I still really like the hits I get off of it, and the function is super easy.

I’m not a fan of the ceramic heating element for rosin. The taste is different and more “already vaped” tasting. Haven’t tried using flower in it and don’t plan to.

The taste off of the quartz elements is great, but man are they fragile. Even being super careful, not touching the elements with anything when cleaning, cleaning after every session, everything they recommend… they keep burning up on me. I think I’ve had 4 or 5 quartz elements die on me already.

The charge/use time is good on it, haven’t had issues with that as long as I remember to plug it in.

Cleaning the glass is super easy. Just run some alcohol around in it, run some boiling water through it, if it’s super dirty another alcohol pass and then a hot water rinse and then let it dry. I have 2 of the “Flow” glass pieces that I alternate use of when one gets dirty, because heaven forbid I take the time to stop and clean one and not have a rip while doing so

I think overall it’s a decent design, just needs a little bit of work on the heating elements, and really could be cheaper for what it is. My wife definitely prefers this over having to use a torch to heat things up, or to any form of smoking. The hits are really freaking smooth and delicious, and never hot/harsh.

So almost a year of use and definitely would not recommend anymore. It’s not “bad” as much as it just has a bunch of little annoying things about it that can be avoided with other devices.

It’s a pain to change rooms with it as the glass likes to wobble around on the base if you aren’t holding onto both firmly. I’m kind of shocked I haven’t dropped and broken the glass yet. The silicone that seals the glass the base gets loose with use over time and just doesn’t firmly hold it together. Sometimes it leaks vapor around the base if you don’t hold it firmly while filling it.

They had to send me a replacement base/battery for it. My original base had a tiny O ring pop loose while unscrewing the adapter piece and killed the connection to the ceramic/quartz bowl. It feels like the new one is going to shortly do the same thing even though I baby it.

Biggest downer is the quartz chamber elements. It’s like $24 for a pack of them, and even with perfect delicate cleaning they still die rapidly. I’ve had to buy a bunch of the packs over the last couple months.
The ceramic elements get gross tasting quickly, like burned reclaim and the hits are weak from them.

Bottom line, these are close enough to the Puffco pricing, just bite the bullet and go that route.
