As a long term medicinal user, I've purchased five different brands, all promised the very best experience. I have a daily user I've used for three years. When I purchase a new device I add it into the rotation and give it fair play against my daily user.
I'm sorry but there's no comparison between this AtmosRx Ruva and my daily user.
Slippery as heck mouthpiece. First thing out of the box and this puppy squirted out of my fingers and skittered across the floor. Slow start. Once I retrieved the mouthpiece and hefted it against my daily. I'd say the Ruva isn't too heavy with a decent sized battery. I'd make sure to set the desired temperature before taking it into the great outdoors, because once you step outside you won't see that little screen again until you get back indoors. The Ruva has a very nice feel to the rubberized exterior which my daily doesn't have so I really like that.
After reading the"manual" I fired it up set my temperature and away we go. The Ruva heats up nicely and has a great buzzer to tell you when the setpoint has been reached.
And the disappointment sets in. I got what seemed very little vapor. But we continued and I must d say the flavor delivered was outstanding and the quantity of vapor increased as we headed into the the minute session. By the end of the session I was disappointed. I immediately triggered a second session. By now the material seems to have finally reached temperature and the amount of vapor is what I would have hoped for from the first session.
End of session cleanup is easy peasey, much easier than my daily. You could probably go a week before you needed to clean the thing with anything other than a brush. Which is a great improvement over mine. One last thing, it won't stand on end, which to me is a bummer.
My final impression? A disappointment even at the 75% discount. I'll add this to my collection and drag it out once in a while for a change of pace. Sorry Atmosrx, nice try, but no cigar.
