I'm loving kief in this thing.
Bloody ripper.
My Ti hoppers’ stainless ring gets hot during and after use, but not as hot as the front end.
I've had it for a few weeks now, and I'm still yet to clean it. I have given it a few wipe overs with a MFLB brush, but I have started to notice that more herb is sticking in the chamber now from resin build-up.
I'll have to go get some isopropyl alcohol and some cotton dabbers.
Overall, it's super easy to maintain and my two weeks of frequent use have proved to be almost completely consistent despite absolute minimal effort.
So far I have put almost a half ounce of a few different types of cannabis flowers into it, gotten either too high or perfectly buzzed via their extracted goodies and removed them to receive even af, super crispy and tanned/blasted to the level selected AVB.
I have found that, in order to get really dark AVB, you need to work for it a bit. After a few bubblers in milk city, it's still possible to get a good rip from it natively. However, even when caching at that point it still is a very economic device for herbage consumption. You gotta waste it to taste it, they say.
If anyone was wondering, it does leave waterpipes a little messy - smaller particles make it through the screens and a thin layer of reclaim forms in the glass downstem after a few chambers. But simple enough to clean, of course.
On taste, I have a Ti and I gotta say, it's flavour experience is pretty on point to those comparing device signatures. I won't be getting an SS, so I may never know the difference, but I can imagine that it's flavour possibly would last a bit longer. My Ti unit is more often coupled with a bubbler for longer extraction, high-temp purposes. But I still really appreciate using it as designed. When doing so, the raw flavour tapers fairly rapidly and the taste of AVB is quickly noted. It's a nice blend still, but that first clean draw at T<2.5 is genuinely phenomenal. If the SS prolongs that, then for non bong smashers, maybe that's the best option?
But the bongs at T2 with a fruit strain? Well, that fucks combustion pretty aggressively anyway.
Plus I like to say that it's titanium, because, who doesn't love titanium?
The extra durability is worth it for me above all else though, I want it to stay super sleek - the SS hopper in the 'red light flashing' grasshopper YouTube video posted above... What happened to its body D:
