You got it - the whole can leans over, but it does function alright. I just feel the lean is too much which is why I wanted some other opinions from FC members. Thanks for your contribution.

Hey guys, looking for a second opinion on a GB-186 I got from Yingmin5. I had previously got a GB-187 from him which was faultless in my view. However, I feel the GB-186 is below spec due to the excessive lean on it. It performs fine, but I think it should be straighter for the money - 63.64 US...

Another UK LSV newbie here. I received my all black LSV on Tuesday direct from 7th. Floor. That night, I tried it with the wand and was pleasantly surprised - I got nicely stoned. Next night, I used the WPA with my Weedstar Double Bubbler. A couple of minutes after finishing, I got a slap across...

Vapefiend.co.uk has them. Oops, just checked the site and it's down. I was told they were going to be upgrading the site, so they must be doing that now. Try it in a few days, but they are very good for Herbalaire spares.

Great - you know the reputation us Scots have? Tight-fisted gits who hate spending money! I will try the pump tonight and report back, as I'm sure other people with chest problems will be in a similar situation with some vapourizers. Mind you, when I got my HA, I was also looking at the LSV.......

Rude Boy - I've never used the pump with the Herbalaire because that's supposed to be for bags, but I could try using it with my present setup - Herbalaire upside down on my bong. Thanks for that suggestion - I'll try it tonight. You may have saved me a bit of money! As regards other...

I've had a Herbalaire fpr 6 months now, but there is something about it I haven't been happy about. In fact, I rarely use it. I have a chest condition, therefore lung power is limited, and I find the draw on the Herbalaire too tight for me - it really is hard work, and this puts me off using...

To date, I haven't yet tried the convection method with the standard Tong, but, as I said before, the idea really appeals. And then our friend MG23 comes up with an improvement on that - namely using the Elite Tong, which sounds even more promising. However, I wonder if perhaps this link is...

Thanks to MG23 and everyone else for the Tong screen explanation, especially the photo. I think I prefer this idea to my "mini-crucible", as I have not been using my HA very often for a while due to the "train effect". i.e. having to keep going so as to not waste any, and ending up vaped out...

Call me a stupid old fahrt, but I'm not really understanding this one, MG23. Admittedly, I'm shattered, but could you please give a more detailed explanation of this? Cos, the idea really appeals to be able to take your time. That's the only minus point to the HA for me. Pretty please?

Sorry, couldn't figure out how to post images - didn't show up. Please ignore this message. (Couldn't figure out out how to delete this embarrassement of a message either!)

Ah Rude Boy, your first-hand experience mirrors mine , so problem solved. I look forward to clouds from the bud, (we call it grass,) I haven't used yet. Thanks for your help.

Well MG23, you have really upset me with those milk-shot videos. I don't get anything like that, as my vapour is wisper-thin. In fact, it couldn't be any thinner both in my bong and when I exhale. I actually get more clouds out of my e-cigarette! Could it be that I am using hash, (solid,) as...

Whoa... Another convert. Might be starting a trend here! Glad you found my little "upgrade" beneficial nicelytoasted. It's certainly not too difficult to do either - shame Herbalaire are giving a misleading description of "cannot be used with the crucible". Must be quite a few people missing...

As you saw, my answer to this query was brief. However, if the crucible and heating chamber ARE aluminium, I have no qualms exactly for the reasons MG23 gave - it doesn't get hot enough, because we are vaping the goodies not combusting them. Still, this has sparked my curiosity, so I have asked...
