If I understand correctly, I think the suggested use is hold and lightly inhale for 5 seconds, let off for a moment while you start to inhale more of the hit that just built, then begin another 5-second pulse if you want more vapor and have the lung space still left, to maintain the warmer vaporization temp that was just reached. This is as opposed to either just holding the button until it times out for a single hit, or riding it / taking long pulses with little to no time between like Sam pointed out.
I switched from doing a 5 second hit to doing a 3 on, 3 off, 3 on, then cooldown hit and I've been so much happier with my clouds. I usually melt it on a little first also, but whatever works. Luckily testing is fun.
I totally agree on the globes helping you get your technique down for inhaling and button pressing. The globe showed me I was inhaling too fast/hard. I wish the herc had a window. Plus I like the globe over the cart, not by a huge amount though. I love that it comes with an extra coil too, you can just switch when you need to clean one.
It does. It's called the Nibbler XL; and the combination of the Persei, Hercules, and Nibbler XL is the reason I am such an ardent UP Tech fanatic. It's the highest performance oil vaporizer I've ever used, it can dish out more than a dab (via torch+nail) per serving, and I can (and do) take it EVERYWHERE.
I very much prefer the black wick over the white. I think it's way better at absorbing and the carts seem to fire off a little slower which helps it melt in a bit before getting hot and vaping it. Based on the persei thread I'd say most people totally prefer it, some people think the slower heat up makes it slide off the coil. I don't agree, I actually think the white ones slide off more, but it's been said. The black wicks were one of the reasons I always liked the globes over the kiss carts.
Yeah, the globes are really sad to break. I've broken two now. I ordered replacements through Vaporwarehouse, but if there was a non-breakable option that wasn't plastic, I'd be interested.
Thanks for suggesting pros and cons for the wicks - I have a few white ones laying around and will have to try them out again after reading your post.
You're welcome. I'm not trying to tell anyone what to do just giving me perspective.
Black ceramic can produce good clouds too. Use the globe and watch your draw in the mirror. Like stormypinkness stated, no burnt taste.
Your edit is exactly the same thing I wanted: to make it more discrete. But I am learning to hit the globe while covering the glass but not the air inlet holes. I know the kiss is supposed to do that (be discrete) but the performance on the globe is slightly better. Is it because the black ceramic and ti coils are closer to your mouth?
