More that 30 day's no smoking.
Thanks to my Will but also a big thank to Evo,it is the only one that put me to sleep IMO Wich is the reason I use it in the beginning.
I like to load it medium grind half packed and about 1 to 1.30 o the dial
In my opinion it is more effective than the F.P weed eater but I understand is a matter of personal preference.
Hey
@Pablopicasso, thx for your EVO setting info
; that's a good hit
. And it's great to hear the vape feedback and comparison from you
. Both those vapes are comparably great, and as you mention the best one comes down to personal preference
... every vape has its own advantages and disadvantages. There have been a number of people here who have reported that they prefer the EVO over the FP
, as well as the opposite; don't bother with feedback completely dismissing one over the other.
@Relaxed, good luck with the grinder purchase
. I consider my grinder coarse, and if I shared more pictures one would see some bigger pieces. I see you know about the general grinder thread here (
http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/herb-grinders.15/page-414); I think it has many good grinder recommendations and good feedback on grinders and grinder size. I did post about my grinder there fwiw and have followed that thread for a while. There are cheap and expensive grinder options. Many (including me) get by with inexpensive grinders. Even Amazon has a number of inexpensive grinders with good ratings. There are a number of expensive grinders and a few mentioned already... another one that caught the forum's interest lately (in that thread) was BCG grinders (Brilliant Cut Grinders); their design, quality and modularity with swapping in a fine, medium or coarse grind plate is appealing to many. There are grinder test and comparison pages all over the net and a Google search can add a lot more information for reading. The non-stick SLX looks nice, though I'm in no rush to collect an exotic coated grinder with the associated special care instructions (ymmv). I personally don't care about a big warranty with a grinder; the costs of using that warranty (usually requiring the unit to be sent back) often means one can buy a new grinder for not much more money. Let us know what you go with and how it all goes
.
Happy EVO Friday all
. Last weekend with the EVO was pretty indulgent
. The EVO makes it so easy to go for
"one more bowl" 
. I've got a top notch vape setup and highly recommend others find their optimal setup
. I've been wanting to discuss and share setups for months now... so it's about time.
For me, I want a vape to simply and seamlessly integrate into my environment
. It really is worth it. And I've got all the little details covered. I vape in the family room because isolation sucks
; whether vaping socially or not, I totally recommend vaping in a good sized room with lots of seating options, comfort and things to do. The EVO has an extra long power cord so it's easy to incorporate across a room (including my sectional layout)... a very appreciative bonus when social vaping with the EVO.
A nice little detail in vape setup is that I keep my power cord in the room and plugged in and hidden under the couch. I simply reach my hand down under the couch and I can grab and pull out the power cord
. Convenience rocks
.
To continue the seamless integration I have a two level coffee table that works perfectly in front of the couches. I find this the ultimate setup with the EVO because the EVO has a stiff power cord and to accommodate that easily, safely and simply, when I'm not using the EVO I keep it on the lower level. It's unplugged as well so that the cord is not in the way. The EVO heater and power cord setup is unobtrusive, safe, out of the way but within hand reach when I want it to be
.
When I plan to vape I pull out the cord and plug it into the EVO and set the heater on the lower coffee table shelf. This keeps the cord out of the way and lets me heat up the EVO on demand or heatsoak it for a while safely; sometimes I vape within 3-5 minutes of turning on, other times I vape 30-40 minutes after I turn it on. I enjoy the flexibility
. Plus the vape is safe, out of the way and the power cord is not a hazard for anyone walking around
.
In continuing with the two level coffee table theme, my grinder always sits (discretely) on the bottom level in its original box. And when I go to vape I pull the grinder out of its box and move it to the top level of the coffee table, in direct quick reach. I also put my dry mouthpiece, scoop, ELB loading funnel, the ELB & VapeXnail (in an Orbit holder) on the top level of the coffee table and in similarly easy reach
.
All this organization and access results in seamless vaping and excellent enjoyment
. The family room has a big HT/music setup, TV, gaming console, fireplace and a laptop on the coffee table as well, for lot to do
. Something else is always going one when and while I vape. The coffee table also has plenty of room for liquids/libations, food, etc... a perfect time for a little indulgence that never hurt anyone
.
When I'm ready to vape I simply grab the EVO heater from the lower level of the coffee table, add the ELB/VapeXnail and select the mouthpiece from the coffee table and vape. I have a laptop beside me when I want to time my draws and holds. I let the EVO heater and mouthpiece sit on the top level of the coffee table between draws. Comfortable, smooth and safe. When I'm done a vaping session, I return the pieces to their appropriate location on the top and lower levels of the coffee table and unplug the EVO. And it's all within hand reach for the next vaping session
. Very comfortable, smooth and safe.
I love a fully integrated vaping setup. Vaping is not part of my daily or weekly routine, it's part of my routine of hanging out at home
.
Here are a few more vape setup details for those interested. I like to keep my wet hydratube on the lower level of the coffee table until I'm vaping with it. This keeps it out of the way and safe, but quickly accessible, and for that 3-5 minutes of vaping I put the wet hydratube on the upper level of the coffee table (like the other pieces). I store the EVO and everything (but the grinder) on a shelf in a spare bedroom next to the family room when I don't plan a day to vape. It's discrete and only 15 feet away at any time.
My vape room and setup is perfectly suited to using the EVO; it's much of the reason why I bought it after much research
. The EVO is a killer setup in comfy casual use, as well as with big experiences
.
Sorry for the novel
.... just wanted to wax one about vaping setups; it's really about environmental form factors, they're so important to great vaping
. By all means share your own EVO vape setup and environmental form factors at home... and what you enjoy about that
.
Friday night here with the EVO, I first enjoyed a small ELB of Strawberry Cough (a strong sativa). and I've now loaded the ELB up with some nice Trainwreck , which I haven't vaped in a few months. Take'r easy all
.
EDIT - some earlier haf grammer issues being corrected now, lol
.
Cheers and enjoy ur Friday
(dimensions doesn't matter ....just the way you use it
)
.
- it's really awesome to know we have the creator of our beloved EVO watching over proceedings & available if anyone feels the need to reach out.
. It's only two draws (at 12 seconds each) for me to cache the next 395 F session. Flavor feedback on when a bowl stops tasting good or burnt is again a personal judgement and variable; some people keep bowls low temp and low draws for optimal flavor, and others are fine with much higher temps and more draws. For example, I don't find any significant toastiness at 395F, with a medium brown AVB result (I do water condition the high temp draws with a Precision honeycomb hydratube. YMMV.
.
. The EVO has been killer here
