Almost there...
My cleaning brush arrived today!!
Herbie is finally a complete unit!
The Herbalizer Team also sent an AWESOME Vape Like A Boss T-Shirt, some more decals and some Herbalizer business cards!
The business card are the bomb!!! They are those lenticular cards, very cool indeed!
You know the ones you tilt the card and it changes to another image?
I can open and close Herbie when i am at work now!!
This is going to keep me amused for days!
Sorry for rambling… I blame Herbie!

Personally, I was curious, but totally lost interest in the Easter Egg hunt.
I suddenly realized I was poking and prodding and touching and retouching buttons....
and I felt that I was one touch at a time, wearing out my Herbalizer in a non-medicating endeavour.
I worried that I was taking precious seconds... maybe even minutes away from the bottom end of Herbie's days .. many years in the future.
(sort of like hyperventilating for a rush when you are a little kid... it does not kill you, but does wipe out a few brain cells.)

maybe the Herbie has a built in clock and will say something to us on 4/20?

Oh, thanks for the tip! I was away from Herbie earlier, maybe tomorrow will be around in the late afternoon..

If anyone has a Pinnacle WT or similar device, try sticking the whip directly into the GonG joint... it works pretty well as a quick way to get a little water filtration into your session. Probably losing a little bit of vapor since it's not an airtight seal, but it works. The fan assist will fire the perc on its own.

I slip a bit of silicone into the Pinnacle WT and then the mouth piece on the whip fits perfectly!
Air tight as well!
Alright, so I've been playing with essential oil - shatter consistency.
I broke off my dose, sandwiched it between the 2 EO pads and then stuffed a little hemp cotton into female part of the bowl as a condensation blocker from the whip - 420 degrees working my way up to max and here's what I got.
Totally different experience! Way more cerebral, quickly hitting you over head - I mean seriously, after the session it hit me like a....
And not even nice about it, totally like...
And the hemp fiber worked perfect, save up a bit and it can easily be used later INSIDE the chamber!

Let the games begin! The experimentation is exciting.
Of course, I am medicated to utter stupidity by the Herbie. The very device I seek to study, is making it impossible!
Edit: I thought I'd share my new favorite Herbie trick. I call it the Reverse Flavor Saver. So I fill a bag at 395, and 398... and save the best flavor hits in those. Then I ramp up to 400-405 and get medicated as much as possible on the smokier/flatter drags from the whip. Then go back and finish the full flavor bags. End on a high note. Voila!!
You know, for those times that you are dreading the flavor-less finish!
Edit #2: OMG I am mixing and maching now. Take a more dry tasting hit from the whip, sip a bag! Temp combos. Getting moar higher, moar higher, moar higher!!!

If you're getting too medicated off a full size bowl and want to keep experimenting, try a "micro load." I packed .03g last night, which was barely enough to cover the screen, and I still got 5 or 6 decent whip hits out of it. The result was a very pleasant buzz before bed, not too intense.
I'm finding that while I never get as intense a flavor hit as the beginning of a Solo stem, the flavor is very very clean and the unit retains flavor better than any other vape I've tried. I hardly ever get a bad taste at sub 400 temps, the flavor just diminishes over time.

I medicate primarily for a GI disorder, so I always find indicas preferable. When I vape heavily sativa-dominant strains, it typically does nothing for my stomach. Well, I've now run a few of those strains through my Herbalizer, each about 85/15 sativa. Lo and behold, each one has helped my stomach pains and discomfort in ways I've never experienced from these strains before. @Slightly Medicated said previously that by using the Herbalizer he found benefits from strains that were typically lacking. I can definitely reaffirm his finding.

I also find this to be true. Before Herbie I was cycling through 5 or 6 strains but now I can get what I need from just a couple different strains. I can also finish a quick session and walk away knowing I will be properly medicated instead of hanging around my vape in a wait-and-see mode.

So the different experience/high/medicated state was from vaping your shatter instead of dabbing it?
I love it, a palate cleanser at the end of a session. Best reason yet to try the bags!

for those of you treating GI, what temps are you finding most effective?

I always use max temp.

When it is Nausea the Monster that is heavily upon me, I start at 390 for just a hit or two...
I do so so that the gentle flavorful essences help my "keeping it together" while it starts to take effect.
Too strong a flavor at first hit, and too deep a vapor can open a crack and allow "The Monster" in.
After a flavorful lungful or two at 390º, I hop up to 445º... BAM... fuck you Monster you're dead.
When it is not Gastrointestinally involved, ... mood... pain... and more, I stick around 395/400

I am experiencing this as well. Definitely must have to do with the increase in the THC, and other cannabinoids, in the overall ratio in each strain. The Herbie is rearranging what strains I use, and when.

Took Vito's advice using the pad for concentrates last weekend and OMG.... sooo smoooooth and effective I 'really' like this with the Herbie to enjoy the 'control' I have temp wise, and without the intrusive appearance on my recliner table. If I want to draw a mind blank I still use my Sub, but setting up for it just isn't the same enjoyment and ease as with the Herbie, and I've pretty much given up on nail hits that choke my poor bronch's. My Dr. Dabber still takes care of things out & about though.
Flowers are divine (to me) with the Herbie, and to pin point temps and precisely climb the ladder is just a major change to me over my past favorite full-time Solo that is now my dedicated portable for flowers or if I just want to mix it up for shits n giggles, but the Herbie is another experience in itself IMO.
Haven't used the aromatherapy feature much as I've yet to jump on ordering any EO's to play with, and the one that came with is unappealing to me.
I'm dying to receive my EFS Incycler to couple with this puppy.... I suspect a relaxed enjoyable time in my near future
Hmmmm.... wish 'I' had received a "Vape Like A Boss" tee because I Do ! and I AM ! (when she lets me be hehe).

We did bags of oil and it was surprisingly smooth for dry dabs, nevermind dry dabs in a bag.
Gotta agree with @Vitolo, when I'm vaping for nausea I HAVE to start low and ramp up. Too high of a temperature initially can put me in a coughing spell which easily leads to throwing up when I'm already close to it.
So has anyone tried actually Herbalizing yet? As in, mixing other stuff with your bud in the bowl to vape? I've enjoyed a very small amount of peppermint in the odd stem/trench. Only "problem" I see with it is if you want to reclaim it'll have cannabinoids and whatever stuff comes out of vaping peppermint. I tried some lavender but didn't care much for the taste, I enjoy peppermint/spearmint more, probably from back when I used to smoke cigs.

So I get a snap from my LHS showing them opening they're herbie. I replied, great move but how the fuck did you guy's get one?
Mofo's took my advice about headshops always (as far the east coast) having such limited Vaporizer knowledge and in most cases shitty inventory. I told them to get fucking educated and check out FC.
By just lurking they read a bunch of threads and chose Herbie. I was blown away.
I think they were just run over by the love bug.
I could tell he's figured it out too, last snap he looked Sylvester Stallone with clown make up on and I could see 4 twinkie wrappers and a cup of milk in the background.
You know a man is stoned when he's eating twinkies, nevertheless 4 twinkies in the middle of the day!
