mcig 2.0 review
The mcig 2.0 is out and its beautiful. Produced by the mCig company (which is now publicly traded under the symbol MCIG), the mCig is labelled as a “Herbal Electronic Cigarette” but is intended to be used as a vape pen for cannabis. After becoming curious about vape pens in the past, I managed to get my hands on an mCig and have been able to test it out extensively during the past week. The mCig claims that “it heats but never burns”, and I was curious to test this out as in my experience most vape pens tend to burn herb much more easily than dedicated portables. Furthermore, the kit was part of the second generation mCig which boasts a higher capacity battery (360mAh vs the previous 260mAh) , shorter length (0.5? smaller), redesigned heating element, as well as some other improvments.

The mCig came in retail packging with instructions, charger, battery, stir stick, and heating chamber. The heating chamber has a flat stove type element at the bottom, and it can handle both loose leaf or concentrates. The bowl size was quite spacey, and approximately 0.5 grams of loose leaf marijuana can fit inside. The unit is also highly discreet (it looks like an e-cigarette!) and can fit easily in jacket and clothes pockets. After giving the unit an initial charge, I loaded a bowl of loose leaf with a few friends (who also use vapes), and we began to test it out. Once the unit is turned on, you activate the heating element manually by holding down a button for 3-5 seconds and then taking slow draws. The initial hits produced a medium amount of vapor using the lower setting, and produced even more on high.

Overall I feel that given the low price (only $10!), discreet design, and solid battery life the mCig serve as a great low cost introduction to vaporization, (You need to order the optional “Glass Pak” for a true vaper, otherwise it burns). The vapor produced with the “Glass Pak” is EXCELLENT. GET THIS ITS ONLY 10 bucks
