@Hammer Vaporizer Thanks for the awesome sale and product, I just got mine today. Here are my thoughts.
- I eyed this up a yearish ago, but decided against it and went for the Lotus. The reason primarily was at the time, I did not think I would like the all inclosed lighter/vaporizer. I think after using this, that it was put to rest
wrong choice on my end.
- Best thing about butane vapes is off the grid availability anywhere, and I can get that easily with the Hammer, I've been using it in the house just to try it out. But I love how small and compact it is, and I won't have to worry about losing my lighters (this happens everytime I take the Lotus out sans giant butane torch)
- It seems to take a while to heat up. If I could knock up the temps a bit, I would, but I find my best hits are holding it while actively inhaling. I'd prefer if i could almost preheat and then pull, but mine doesn't seem to be getting ALL that hot. Make no mistake it's definitely vaporzing though and it tastes really good. Smaller loads are nice and toasted. Bigger loads get more brown, but still not terribly dark. A good vape though definitely !
I also like how it uses the "stem" type of design like Underdogs. Clean taste. I also found it not really that hot though, even while hitting it dry. I admittedly was going low at first, but even in ramping up, didn't seem too ramped. Maybe too cautious too as I don't want to combust? Plenty of factors lol.
- I dabbed out of it, was really really tasteful. Smaller the dab the better, smaller the rig the better. I used a bigger dab later and spent a while just smoking dabs out the heater.
- Thanks
@paytonpenn for the suggestion on using silicon tubing with the stock stems as a WPA. Works perfectly
I just got some tubing, and it only needed a little strip cut off. The thing rips well though water too, like i said though I would just wish I could knock the heat up a bit. I thought there was a way, and I'll dig through and read, but I'm pretty ignorant on it. At first, I thought it was just my hitting technique, as I usually am not conscious nor have to worry about my draw speed, but I am sipping it pretty softly and it really just doesn't seem to hot. Err..hot quickly. After a minute or two, its pretty hot and I can kind of one hit extract. Still would like if it could go hotter quicker, if there is a way.
I wrote all the above, before reading the page, I see that some of you say it's almost too hot. Maybe I am just not heating it long enough and/or I have unreasonable expectations for the heat up time. I did very little research prior to buying, I saw the sale and jumped as I view butane vapes as a fun novelty type of item I can take out and about. So, I am overall very happy with the purchase. My only experience with butane vapes is with the Vapman and Lotus, and both I can personally reach temp faster with. That said, I lose the stock lighters and use a butane/creme brule torch now when I use those, so maybe my expectations are not realistic.
A great product! I recommended to all my friends at the bar after work, for the price I don't really think it can be beat honestly. I love the look of it too, and like the toolbox esque approach. Also, the nail was the best tool I had to dab with it! This will be my go to when I head to the bar or camping.
I saw payton run a bag through his in one of his videos...I have the means, I may just try that for some fun as well
EDIT: I just held it for about 35 secounds, had to reignite a few times as I thought the jet was out. Flames were coming out the sides a little. I forgot to mention that earlier, I tried to turn it either down or up, (I forget which) while the ignition was on. Maybe I turned it lower so its calibrated lower? Regardless. I didn't really get much through the bubbler hit one, but hit 2 I engaged the flame the whole time and killed the bowl basically in 1 hit
So maybe that's just how you gotta do it, makes sense, I probably just underestimated my lungs. I also just did a conduction bowl
wow that's aweomse
. Hammer is coming, but no bong. Now, I have the 14mm female plus a double end male to get it into my 12inch beaker. Now I tried convection for the first two days, it was nice however I found the Oven too deep and felt like I was having to reallllly heat the thing to get good results. To the point where the device would need further heating to use, but the outside plastic was simple far too hot to dare pull the trigger, slight melting around the top and melting of the small end rubber and even just the radiant heat being too hot to hold the finger there.
@Tommy10 hope you've checked those out as well. Hammer and Zion kinda like portable logs themselves
