    How are you getting on ? Just like to say my Cera`s back to producing vapour again after her little spell on the naughty step. Hopefully I`ve got the technique sussed this time round ! My grinder for pollen doesn`t have sharks teeth but has lots of smooth stakes that crush rather than cuts into...

    Taste wise when using the basic technique, nothing beats a bed of bud, topped up with pollen. This mix can also help when trying to produce vapour, as the difference between the two differing vaporising temperatures provides a marker to aim for. Good luck with your experimentation. Don`t forget...

    I`ve just seen a quote attributed to Hecate (dark moon Goddess). "I am the absence of air that waits at the bottom of every breath." Sounds like my technique !

    Trouble is I can`t find my way back there ! Step 2 she falls in love with you. Well misbehaving cera soon fell out with me ! Maybe mine is a dark Goddess who only comes out to play on the dark side of the moon !

    Surely any problems with step 1 is easily rectified by holding the button longer before use. Step 2 contains the more difficult task of transferring the right amount of heat at the right time to produce vapour. Considering over-enthusiasm is likely to cool the load, while excess caution could...

    I think I must have picked up some bad habits racing against the clock when I had a hot switch. In your position I would learn all I could about the advanced technique and the three steps involved, and develop good habits from the start. I don`t think the material matters if you know how to...

    All that matters to me is which battery has what it takes to get through step two with the higher temperatures needed to vape hash ! Or are the temperatures too high already, causing the load to get sticky before it has the chance to vaporise ? I remember you once said you preferred the 14 volt...

    I`ve had my cera since January, but got off to a stunted start due to a hot switch that needed replacing. I used to burn my material very lightly (as in with a joint) with limited success, but had instant results when I started using a grinder. For 3 days I couldn`t go wrong, big bowls, small...

    What I`m saying is with the stock batteries there`s little room for error at the important step 2 phase. Most people who can light her up at will, learned the technique with more agreeable batteries if not with a different model (T1) altogether. Its a bit like saying if you want to take up...

    I wouldn`t throw away your rizlas just yet ! I was in a similar predicament to yourself wanting to give up spliffs for a purer hit. Cera LL can deliver, but don`t underestimate the skill required to light her up to get the desirable results. The original batteries (when the good reviews were...

    As I understand it, the black orbitronic was a compromise in the first place, as the green Panasonic suitable for LL cera was discontinued. Not sure if the battery heads have decided whether it`s the Sony VTC 4 or 5 is better for LL, but I agree that the stock black orbs seem ineffective for...

    Yeah, checked yesterday, a fresh battery still comes to full glow in about 15 secs, I`ve had the core checked and it was bang on 1 ohm so I`m not disputing it is user error. Maybe my material varies in oil moisture content, but last week grinding seemed to overcome this issue. As for technique I...

    Yeah, I usually go on 25 seconds on a fresh battery, tapering off to 45- 60 after a couple of bowls, I`m definitely not going too early. Last week for a couple of days I was getting a 100% hit rate even firing it up for friends to try who had never experienced it working properly producing...

    After a few days of exultation, my LL cera has gone back to sleep ! Like a rat getting immune to poison, my cera seems to have got wise to my new assault of fine grinding my hash and has somehow managed to re-aligned her DNA to thwart my efforts. Same hash, same technique, same batteries, cera...

    With my material, warming with a lighter makes it fluff up and go a bit sticky, whereas a good grind instead keeps it dry enough to get the test puff instead of the usual vaporless drip feed.

    I used to crumble the pollen after warming with a lighter, the same procedure as in making a joint. After acquiring a strong metal grinder, I experimented with breaking small bits off and grinding a bowlful into powder. This seems to have made all the difference. Game on !

    After 5 months of hit (and mostly) miss, with the LL cera for pollen, I`ve finally cracked it ! The trick is to use a grinder for the hash. Lights up every time now and goes on forever ! Job done but I nearly gave up out of frustration at one stage. Without grinding first, it is difficult to get...
