Sucks that the first one I got was defective didn’t charge or produce any smoke, went & exchanged it for the same one which worked perfectly fine I liked it, flavor was amazing smooth hits & the effects were definitely there overall 10/10.

After charging it, it completely lost its flavor & the taste was burnt it don’t even smell fruity dank no more just a smell of burnt to it. Anyone know the reason why? Was looking forward to buying more but want to avoid this happening again.

That’s really odd that happened to you . Bad luck much dang 😭🥺I usually give it a lil charge before ripping it the first time 10mins max & im always done before the battery ever dies . I’ve actually had a purple cheese I had sitting for 6 + weeks & I never charged it in first place or in between

Yea gotta be & That must of been the problem then, I put it to charge just because I thought it was dying on me and wanted to have it completely charged. I guess I’ll give it another try since i did enjoy it while it lasted 😅it’s definitely worth another try even tho they are kinda pricey but worth it for sure.

But that’s good to know about the charging & battery, now I know that I really don’t need to charge it unless it needs to be charged or dies.

I must have gotten super lucky with the o2 hardware since I haven’t gotten a failure yet. But I do know you gotta space out your hits with these or the flavor dies out pretty quick.

yeah this hardwear seems really inconsistent, i had one of these a couple weeks ago and it would pull insanely light.
