Thanks - Terry
I ordered a powder vibe recently, and I'm just not feeling the love. I guess I need to give it another try ;).

I bought the Powder Vibe from D&L. Tried it several times and it's been in the box ever since.

Can you post what you did not like about it? Is it the 1st model with the plastic handle addition or the 2nd model with the slim pen like motor? thanks

With the powder vibe, the frit would stop flowing.

It would clog up at the outlet.

The solution was to unblock the clog by pushing a toothpick into the outlet, tapping it a few times, and then you would continue....until it blocked up again.
