UPDATE: It seems there was a convention in town when my Herbie was trying to return to home base. They ended up receiving it Monday the 9th and I had it back in my hands Thursday afternoon. Communication was good the whole rest of the way. It seems to be purring along like its old self. I was...

A one week update on my Herbie return: I didn't pay any mind to the return during the week because UPS RMAs have, for me personally, always been 100% trouble free, but I checked the tracking status today and delivery has been attempted twice since Thursday because the business was closed. I'm...

Yesterday I opened my device to a greeting message I hadn't seen before. It alerted me that Herbie was sick and had to be returned for service. I was wondering if anyone that has sent their unit in for warranty service could relate their experience to me. I'm really just curious about...

Think a numerical setting and then a simultaneous 3-way tactile input.

My unit developed a similar gap over time. I don't have any insight whether it will eventually turn into a problem or not, but it stiIl performs fine. The fans have also grown progressively noisier (motor/bearings). I believe you pretty much answered your second question yourself. I'm...

I received an e-mail informing me that a limited quantity of the accessory kits are back in stock.

I e-mailed Herbalizer last week inquiring about the availability of the accessories kit. I received a reply today saying they're "not totally sure" when they're expecting to restock.

+1 In my six months of heavy use, with occasionally extended periods at 445F, I have never experienced combustion with my Herbie.

Quite the opposite for me. I've been lazy before and let things 'go' and it's always, in my mind, hindered performance. Screens get burned clean at least every other session, and I'm very anal about brushing the oven clean after each pack. It's borderline obsessive but I'm a bagman and I enjoy...

I use Oregonglassblower's 18/14 reducer with a 1/4" cut of 3/8" ID x 1/2" OD between it and the oven outlet acting as a gasket. From that I use an 18F/14F adapter connected to a 14M whip adapter (which fits snuggly into the Herbie valve) and can run bags. I clip the whip adapter to the 18F/14F...

One thing I've found through replacing bags and getting frustrated over escaping vapor is to double a portion of the opening back over the green O-clip/pronged clip. I had been placing the pronged clip/o-clip "flush" at the end of the bag. Months later I remembered that the clips from the...

Anyway... I've been stepping my temps at 25F increments from 370 to Max as of late. I used to start lower, but sessions were a lot longer and/or the bags at higher temps were mostly hot air. That and my tolerance being pretty high, I like the "in your face" (really, it's more between the...

It's hard news to swallow, for sure. I'm not sure I could be any gentler with mine, and the prospect of having a non-replaceable/serviceable part let go definitely leaves me concerned. I like this unit a lot. Enough to dip into savings for a spare. But, if the allegations are true, my indignance...

Caffeine has also been found to provide pretty convincing enhancement to athletic performance. I'd agree in my experiences. My father and his two brothers were accomplished high school/college track and xc runners. I, however, got bit with the cycling bug after moving to a more metropolitan...

I've been lurking this thread since October when I was researching for my first vaporizer purchase. We plunked down the change in December and have been all but combustion free since. Admittedly, I hadn't had much experience with modern vaporizers (a handful of sessions on a Volcano, aside from...
