All my suggestions only apply for the retained heat method, and it requires a big torch. I have years of experience with the VC so you can imagine I went through many canes... They won't melt, but they will inevitably crack after some use. How long it takes depends on technique. The last one...

I'm still perfecting my retained-heat technique, especially in regards to properly heating the tip for better performance and longer life. I'm seeing good results, so I thought I'll share... please excuse me for repeating myself and others: First thing is a proper heat source. The Blazer Big...

Hey! So I'm back into the Vaponic after a 6 year break. Per your advice I bought a laboratory alcohol lamp and it works really well indeed. My first choice at home is the Vapocane, with the larger "peanut" glass pipe and a big torch. The Vaponic sure delivers a different experience. It's the yin...

So, to follow up - I haven’t cracked a tip since! The reducers don’t take well to heat and have to be replaced once every few weeks of daily use. They’re cheap and easily available so no biggy. Today I heated the bottom part of the tip that fits inside the reducer. The ground glass was dirty...

Lately I’ve been heating starting from the upper lip of the GonG reducer and up the entire tip from bottom to top. This way the entire air path is heated, so vaping starts very early. I find that I can keep the torch down and away from the tip without inhaling butane, again reducing warm up...

I think the Vapcap (I have the Omni Ti) is comparable with the Vaponic, but neither can touch the Vapocane. The only vaporizer that I know of that comes close is the Lotus. It’s much more practical and tastes nice but not as nice as the Vapocane. The business end of the Lotus (the head) won’t...

Hey peeps, The Vapocane was my main vape 2012-2013. Recently I got one again, boy it sure brings back memories. Like others have commented direct heating is faster, cheaper and easier but nothing compares to the VP using retained heat. Like others, I crack tips every so often. I contacted...
