    Safety & Operating Notes

    • The manufacturer requires a 15-minute mandatory cool-down after use and instructs users not to unplug the unit during cool-down; the fan must remain on through the cycle 1.
    • Remove the whip between draws to reduce glass-breakage risk (per manufacturer guidance) 1.
    • The glass-on-glass heating element operates at high temperature; allow full cool-down before handling 1.

    Warranty & Service

    • 3-year manufacturer-defect warranty (glass excluded); 24-hour US replacement documented for the viVape 2 1.
    • No ongoing repair program documented after the MedBox acquisition; brand inactive since ≈2016–2017 12.

    Usage Notes

    • Heat-generation tag judgement call. No source names the “glass-on-glass heating element” technology explicitly. resistive is tagged as the closest defensible value — a coil-in-glass desktop heating element is the same category this archive tags resistive elsewhere (VapeXhale’s ceramic element); this is an inference, not a manufacturer-stated fact.
    • Operating-mode tag judgement call. The manufacturer documents a 90-minute auto-off and per-session whip/balloon presets, which is session usage; it also matches this archive’s own precedent for mains-powered whip/balloon desktop units (Volcano records TED-0034/TED-0035 carry both session and continuous-desktop), so both are tagged here on the same reasoning — a mains desktop station designed to stay powered through a session, not a battery-portable used in short bursts.
    • Weight/dimension discrepancy. The primary review states 7.75 × 5.25 × 2.5 in and 1.75 lb 1; a retailer listing states 12.00 × 8.00 × 10.00 in and 3.65 lb 3. Not resolved — recorded as a discrepancy, not corrected in either direction.
