whip vape question, why do some hit bigger than others?

okay so it seems that 7th floor whip vapes rip bigger than other whip vapes like the EQ. Purely out of curiousity does anyone have an explanation for this? maybe the cyclone bowl is just a bad design because it restricts air flow then immediately opens up back into a wide bowl, i feel like bud on the sides misses the hot air flow. where the ssv for example is a straight shot through all of the bud at once?

A narrower air stream hitting the bowl will produce denser vapor. The SSV has this in spades with the small exit opening in the heater cover. Because of this, SSV hits are more dense (higher vapor/air ratio) than the DBV, with its wider opening. The vapor/air ratio is not nearly as high with the Extreme, due to the cyclone bowl's large size, and the fact that it's so easy to stir up the herb in that bowl with your hits. Load the elbow screen and hits are denser, since you're packing the herb in the screen and it stays put, instead of moving around as it does in the bowl.

where the ssv for example is a straight shot through all of the bud at once?
Not all of it. You get that more with the DBV. With the SSV your air stream is narrow and doesn't cover the whole bowl. You can either load a large amount, giving the air stream a deep bed of herb to vaporize (in one spot), or load less and move the bowl around during the hit, exposing more herb to the hot air stream.

Does the ssv use 14.5mm glass then? And dbv use 18.8?
No. If a ground glass/hands free connection is used, the heater cover opening is wide. With a standard connection, the opening can be small. The standard connection SSV opening is about 3 mm, if I remember correctly. That produces a narrow, focused air stream.
