I'll be sending out sandpaper in my little care package of repair and care items, to everyone. I just need a little time to gather more initial reviews... and put together the packages. I'll include the body screens, sandpaper, a tamping tool, hex keys.... etc..
Happy Fathers Day too all you Dads out there!
Yes,
@Dan Morrison, definitely include hex keys. I must have tossed mine into the trash.....AFTER we were warned (by
@Shit Snacks, IIRC). F’n memory has never been great, and now I’m an Old Fucker. I’d better start writing shit down.
I’d also love to buy a pile of the formed stem screens. I don’t believe I’m the first to say that, but I’ll still explain;
I found that I was getting inconsistent results with the second screen in the body, as it was too big (restricted stem depth) and I was reluctant to mess with trying to trim it to just the right dimension (Fortunately it didn’t touch the heater, ‘cause that would have been a real bummer!). This being the case, I’ve now taken to placing both screens in the stem (yep, pretty much as recommended), with the inner screen packed
very tightly before insertion. Also, I insert both screens convex first, just because it’s easier to get them into the stem. Anyway, this is working absolutely great (confirmed by many loads).
Now I’m thinking I want to pre-load a bunch of screens, thus my need for a “pile” of them. Not sure how I’d keep the herb in place while transporting them. It might stay in the screens just because they’re packed tightly, but this should work fine at home in the very least. Besides, it’s good to have enough screens for a cleaning rotation. So, more screens.
Definitely need more screens. A freakin’ pile of screens.
With this method I’m getting great vapor and strong effect. Battery life on the Nomad also seems to be really good. I haven’t kept track of draws or loads, but it feels like it just keeps on heating. As to heater choice, I’ve found myself mostly using the high heat. However, heater choice might change after I receive a proper body screen.
I think I’m pretty much gonna keep Lucky to myself, as I feel it’ll serve best as a personal vape (I really don’t care for trying to teach non-vapers how to use an unregulated convection vaporizer. Unless they’re motivated, the need for technique seems to frustrate too often.).
I’m rambling, but that’s kinda your fault, Dan. I’ve gone through more herb in the last few days than I had in the previous several weeks. All in the name of Learning, of course.
EDIT: One disclaimer; the above is how I’m using it NOW. When we receive screens for the body, I may not place a second screen in the stem. I still want more screens for pre-loading though.
