Iolite vaporiser

marcuss · May 5, 2009

welcome to FC Determinator!
If you want you can test it with a drop of e-cigarette liquid on a small piece of demake up pad.
Put it in the bowl and try the vapor experience....i don't like tobacco but i tried once..it let you make huge clouds like an havana cigar :ninja:

oh and does anybody about using it without the bottom screen cause i remember people saying they were getting better hits without it

Mine is gone and it gets bigger hits no problem... I think I would only wanna put the screen back in if I wanted my hits to be less visible. but then again why would I wanna do that

There are two good methods for using eliquids posted here

I dont use any herb so have been lurking on this forum

I use my I-Inhale for organic tobacco, e-liquid and tobacco molasses. It is superb for the molasses, who needs a shisha pipe!

Hey Devo, what specific tips do you have to get thicker vape clouds (how much you fill, how often you draw, mesh screen, tube length, heating times, etc etc etc)?

Ill give you my response to that question

Im grinding my bud up and its being better if the bud is on the dryer side

I took the bottom screen out and the moisture condenser

im also using about foot and a half of tubing

load about 3/4 of the bowl

turn it on let it pre heat and sit for about 2 more burst of heat

start hittin it for about 10-20 minutes and im getting some really fat flavorful clouds. i just recently took out the bottom screen and its so much better. It really does extract more of the thc out of the bud and i notice myself getting a significant amount higher since i took the screen out, its as if it bump up the temp a little bit and theres no problems with combustion. fuck combustion

DevoTheStrange · May 6, 2009

I'd have to say smokeandskate ^^^ put it perfectly. I normally let mine heat up 3-4 cycles before even thinking about picking up the iolite... also tap the unit whenever your done hitting it to shake the herb around...
I normally dry my bud out and grind it up as small as I can get it... get it all nice and powder like.
and when hitting it I hit it as if I am sipping slowly out of a straw, I don't use any more pressure than one would use when taking a slow drag off of a cigarette.... I get huge clouds every time...
... Tubing does help, but not a necessity... makes it easier to take bigger hits, without it they can be a bit harsh.
I wasn't paying attention and actually vaped myself too sleep last night with my iolite.

smokeandskate · May 6, 2009

thats so funny cause i actually did that myself a few nights ago haha

yeah taping the side of it a bit helps to i forgot to mention that.

the bud i got right now idk too much about the growing process or what not but the bud is fairly like dense in a bad way, like the stems the bend and dont snap, i think its something withthe drying or curing idk but anyways its not dry bud and ive still been gettin some nice big clouds in my iolite, but dry bud does work better

Just now working on my first bowl and I must say I am really impressed. Right off the bat pulled out the bottom screen and took out the condensor. I gotta say wow wow wow. Don't get me wrong it doesn't get as thick of a hit as the pd but still plenty of visible vapor and many more hits of it. For being portable I think its a pretty fair trade off. I'm thoroughly medicated and its not cached yet. Definitely a worthy purchase.

are you noticing a different in highs? i would like to do a test with the iolite vs a home unit to see how to pair up excluding the whole apples and oranges bit maybe just as far as the high is concern

Nah I wouldn't say a difference. It got the job more than done and I stopped before it was all gone. I'm not a heavy user at all and my primary piece is my PD. One PD bowl and I'm good for an hour or more. When I was combusting I was the one hitter guy. I got shit to do and don't like to get incapacitated. Anyway the point being the bowl on the Iolite is waaay bigger so I ended up taking more in. Not really a fair comparison in that regard.

As for taste the PD is way thicker and tastier but the iolite doesn't seem to be as hot and dry your mouth out. Still plenty tasty but definitely not as good as some desktop units. Again though good enough that I'm not complaining at all. Very impressed indeed.

-Thanks Marcuss,

For your welcome and suggestions.

Frogbmth, what is tobacco molasses, if I may ask?

Thanks in advance for your replies and suggestions.

So i give you guys the Iolite vaper mini bong

I have 2 sizes tubes the bigger one goes all the way into the mini bong just as the stem would them i just plug the main skinny hose right in to it. i have basically the same connection on the Iolite side, i used the wide tubing as an adapter. theres so air leaking ive tested it.

i throw a little bit of cold water in here and boy is it wonderful

stickstones · May 7, 2009

that's really cool...skate! that is an itty bitty bong there.

xyu · May 7, 2009

So just to confirm... Take out the bottom screen, the one that requires the special tool?

Everything here is right but i don't really see the needs to let the bowl already full to heat up all this time....You will lost the aromatic and tasty part of the bowl if you don't hit after a minute or so...those first hits are lighter but you can enjoy the full flavor!! don't waste your bowl letting it warming up for more than one cycle without hitting.
Everything is up to your preferences but i don't like to waste my lovely plant

i like the IObong!!

Durden · May 7, 2009

Probably the only thing Ive ever seen labeled as "Made in Ireland" :lol:

macbill · May 7, 2009

Or do a bit of both: Let it warm up empty a few cycles and then lock and load. You'll get the aromatic qualities mentioned above and be ready to roll.

DevoTheStrange · May 7, 2009

I still like to take some sips here and there as it is warming up.. the flavor is amazing... but I tend to wait a few minutes while its warming up because I am doing other things, so I normally miss out on those tasty first few hits, but I don't mind... for me missing those first few its is really a matter of being lazy and not paying attention. however if I am with a group of people sharing my iolite, I tend too go for those first tasty hits.
and as far as telling if there is a difference in the high between other units... I haven't noticed much.. it is a tiny bit lighter than using my home units, but I think that is due too the fact that I never finish the bowl on my iolite most of the time...
I think I will have to spend a couple of days using only one vape at a time so I can compare the highs. But the way I see it... each vaporizer I own has its own purpose and use depending on the current situation, I never neglect any of my units...

I've actually listen too my iolite as I am filling, there is a distinct sound it makes right before it gets full and starts spitting butane back out... once you figure that out it is quite easy to get a full fill everytime without spraying yourself or the unit.

TylerDurden said:
So first impressions, it worked really well last night! The amount I would normally load into my RooR was more than enough to get me going, and the unit is a lot lighter than I expected even after reading all about it.

I got a good amount of visible vapor my second time around last night, but so far today I haven't gotten any, which means its the lighting or something, because the effects are there.

Only question in my mind is refilling the butane, but that's a problem that already has a solution. Personally I forgot to weigh the Iolite brand new before I put any fuel in it, but in my limited use already I would find this useful and highly recommend it to anyone who has the means.

On a fun note, this is probably the only thing I've ever owned in my life that says "Made in Ireland"

Hi Kerry

Tobacco Molasses is the stuff used in shisha/hookah pipes. It is leaf tobacco dipped in molasses and flavourings. I've posted some of my experiences with the II/IO in this thread over on Right To Vape
http://www.righttovape.com/index.php?topic=92.0

Theres also details of my mod to fit a mix'n'ball J-Adapter in place of the mouthpeice to give a cooler and tighter vape on page 8.

It looks a bit freaky but it works great.

kingcrimson · May 7, 2009

got mine today, took out the condenser and bottom screen, hit 3 bowls out of it and now im done for. it was love at first toke.

smokeandskate · May 7, 2009

nice crimson i love mine too cause im super high off it right now.

frog nice addition is that one of those pieces where on the inside the smoke swirlls through a guided path so that it cools down more?

kingcrimson · May 7, 2009

I'd love to see a little light on this thing like whats on an ecig, but that would likely decrease stealth. So baked right now.

Thats the fella

I turned down one of the nylon mouthpiece ends with a dremmell to fit the opening on the J-Adapter so it just slots into the pipe on th II
