The only reason I would want 2-3 numbs on the heater....is to just keep the sick clip from getting so hot to the touch. I do not mind the coil sitting down lower on the heater...heat rises remember! Plus getting the hot spot closer to the load helps a lot.
I can see needing higher temp setting if you are using the stock bowl. The one I am using is about 5mm shorter than the stock bowl. I would like to have one that is 110-12mm shorter than stock from the top of connection to the screen. I think if that is the case....much less temp will be needed and quicker extraction would result as the heat would be condensed and more efficient inside the bowl.
So I am going to be on the lookout for a really short 18mm to 14mm adapter/bowl.
Oh....and one other thing I have been thinking about. Just for seeing a few pics of others heaters....as I look at the intake hole on top....seems like there is some variance in the size of this hole? Wondering what would happen if the hole was half the size? I would like to try that experiment for sure.
There is also obviously variance in the size and shape of the nubs. I checked my prize win heater yesterday (was previously unopened) and it DOES have a nub, but it sticks out a little less than my usage one. Should still be able to support the coil.
Im sure if we can figure out what is required ultimately, with quartz in mind and looking ahead, that
@7thFloorVapes will do what they can to offer the most coil compatible, functional heaters they can. I hope so anyway, too much potential here which just has to be explored, in the name of driving the future evolution of vaporization if not just to satisfy the masses as 7th Floor typically do so well.
Im not sure I am with you Labpong on a bowl that is that much shorter. I have found with other vapes that when I put the load closer to the heater, it changes the vape signature and I camt find the same happy medium where my allergies are as happy as they were with the screen lower, even if I drop temps, it can still cause more aggravation.
So wouldnt want to change too much. Of course this may not be the case with the Elev8r, but it may be a part of how it works so well to have a reasonable distance from the heater to screen. Or not?
My 2 new bowls like yours will be here tomorrow, the screens came today.
And I am an impulsive lobster at times. So after some deliberation, feeling deep down that it is absolutely the right thing to do for my health, happiness and gettinf the most benefit from vaporizing and cannabis- I have today ordered the rdk-300 and coil!
What I particularly dislike about torching- I cant guarantee exactly what I will get each hit, and sail through my routine in total relaxed, detached mode to get the exact temp and sized hits I need, on a predictable orderly and most of all- TIMELY fashion.
The unpredictability of the torch slows me down and causes quite a bit of anxiety to be so "switched on" from beginning to end. One thing that I really noticed from
@VCBud 's awsome live stream- he seems to get so many more good hits from a load than I have been with the torch. I feel that the way the heat starts off so high and drops quick with torching- maybe a lot of actives are cooked out quickly, giving a harsher start to the hit and resulting in a faster exhaustion.
Not just down to the herb I don't believe.
@LabPong I am still quite nervous about my ability to get the coil separated right. But also, I dont have any real coil experiencs when it comes to stands etc. Only the FP and their round stand I picked up. So Im not sure what sort of stand I could/should use for the Auber coil.
I would welcome any insight or suggestions for a non-practical philosophical freak.
First load of the day now- 0.17 gr of Auto Durban Poison. An uplifting sativa effect. Too much indicas yesterday, they really dont help much with my chronic fatigue condition.
Off to town next!
