yeah, feel free to recommend stuff. I recently just got some concentrates for the first time and have just been holding the arizer upside down cause it works. I don't have an actual setup for dabs.

There are a ton of options yeah, but I also just rely on torch with banger, there are a wide variety there too... Better to check ask FC or the concentrates for beginner threads instead of this one :tup:

Well that describes me, but I actually don't really like cold start dabs FYI hot start FTW
its also my usual recommendation to new concentrate users, its a safer way into the space than having a rocket hot dab cause your still figuring out how to heat/timing of heating, lets you practice your torch work while improving and not blasting off to Pluto until your ready.

but people who aren't heavy temp vapours prob enjoy a cold start fairly often but not always obviously. and I am a heavy temp vapour myself but often cold start so that a bit weird considering but good to look at as many options as possible technique/banger types.

I don't want to de-rail too much but I am curious why. The big drawback with cold start dabbing is the time ng technique but other than that it seems like you t would be right up your alley. Although I can also see just keeping what works with regular dabs.

Yeah it's more involved, I'd rather take a tiny dab one hitter, it's not so hard to get the timing right, and I don't think getting a hot dab is any better than struggling to take multiple hits and then clean a cold start dab... My buddy who I learned to having from has moved on himself to using cold start more, so I've done it with him well, and sometimes you can get really wrecked, but I'm really never do it on my own and don't really desire to honestly, it seems to be a necessity when using some sort of e-rig and I hardly ever use those (yeah @Bad Dog I didn't want to get into it off topic here lol)

I cold start dab by dropping a pre-loaded insert into a coiled, "at temp" deep-dish banger... and absolutely adore it! You pull as the 'trate/'cert come up to temp, which is pretty quick, especially using SiC inserts... That way you ( I ) get every single bit of low tempy goodness in a slower, I feel, more measured way... turns it more into multi-hit tasting/sipping session as opposed to one massive lung-buster. I mean, I like lung-busters, too, of course! Just not all the time... mixer vs shots...? This method is pretty bozo-proof, too, TRUST ME 🤡:tup:

I never use a e rig. cold starts in my banger, hot dabs with my vrod. I remember a few bits of conversations between me and @Shit Snacks . from what I can remember you like bigger bowls of flower (bigger than mine anyway) and to savour the flavour and experience more. while I use small bowls and want to get as much out of them as I can so I go hot and fast. snacks is more a concentrate user to really blast off quick. since that's my dhv preference I use concentrates to savour and find the lack of flower and only active ingredient more smoother and enjoyable so I like cold starts most. while ss enjoys flower more to ease into and concentrate to go to the moon.

Yeah I don't have a nail or anything like that, it can be simple, but then you have to deal with cleaning after, I like the hot start because it cleans it each time I heat it for the next dab... and yeah I don't really like multi hits of dabs, but with proper temp control they probably are better!

You are incorrect haha That's not really true of my consumption, these days I am most often just doing one hitter basket loads in the tetra high temp for quick flavorful rips... I don't do big bowls with anything really? Even when I'm milking a bowl temp stepping in the TM it is still quite tiny... I don't often load that much in my injector bowls either honestly! but maybe I used to more, depending on the vapes, it was different in the pandemic of course, but yes I would rather have more low temp hits with herb than with dabs, but less so now.

My "nail" is a regular ol' welded deep-dish banger...? and cleaning is super easy as you drop and pull at will with tweezers. Other than quickly swab the hot insert-less banger, which barely has any residue in it at all (when not driving a huge train of dabs, of course), you can swap and clean inserts, or have a dozen and not clean any and just drop them all into cleaning solution overnight when you're done, easy peasy. The whole method is super flexible/tailor-able... and yeah, temp control is everything, imo, in terms of flavor and "tickle", as well as the type of 'trate itself.

Sorry that was a typo, I meant enail! Yeah messing with tweezers and inserts is more involved than I care to get, I already started using a blender slurpee with pearl and that's a bit more involved, very nice though, diamond hot knots are nice for simplicity though... I don't want to have to swab anything either, another benefit of tiny dabs, and this style at least (sometimes had to swab with regular buckets) recently got pocket temper and it helps a little but not so necessary imo depends on the setup like the after dab iso dunking that I still don't do...

well the one constant in life is change after all 👍 but I didn't mean you savoured all the time even some time ago, I do remember most of your how to turn and burn a bowl advice was always in the tetra thread but most other places you didn't vape with as much aggressiveness. but you were never someone I would have said had a strict regimented usage for you weed use.

Haha yeah I definitely got more lazy and appreciate the speed, I never use tetra low temp really, I think you remembering my RBT usage posts more so? Ok enough off topic!
 
I must have read through a solid 50 or so pages yesterday and still have no idea what to buy!

I have a Tinymight 2, which is my primary device, and looking for my first piece. Also have an Xlux Roffu my partner also uses, but could be nice to use that too - mostly the TM2 though. Not entirely sure what I'm after, being new to vaping, apart from something to cool down vapour without too much flavour loss. I have a BB9 stem which is nice, but find it a bit harsh at times - could be I'm just not used to vaping (ex smoker and nicotine vaper from years ago, only just got into dry herb vaping though)

I'm more likely to take smaller to medium hits than anything. Preferably something on the smaller side, vertical joint to reduce tipping with an okay base.. not too large to pick up, though.

Looking at inline honeycomb perc like this: https://www.dhgate.com/product/saml-18cm-tall-heavy-glass-bong-hookahs-inline/873230881.html

Or maybe FC-199.

Any particular thoughts on which direction I should go? I'm in Australia too, and choices seem a little limited or places are out of stock -- so I'm happy with cheaper China glass

It's just a plain fol? Cost as much as the fab... I guess that is a little more, I guess it could be nice to have fol in a plane tube but I am sure the mouthpiece sorta sucks too

These are my two main pieces and you can get both cheap from Thick Ass Glass, I'll link to both at the bottom. The top one is a 12" piece that I use with my 18mm quartz cap and the bottom is a 4.5" recycler that I use with the Terpcicle, and I use my Air Max with both of them. For the price I don't see how you can go wrong, especially the 18mm Quartz Cap and the 12" piece. I don't think there are many things that have a better price to performance ratio in this game. The glass is also very tough, it's nice not to worry about drops when you're high.

If you're mostly into smaller hits then the smaller one will let you sip more easily, but the hits from the 12" are smoother so if the reason you're taking smaller hits is because they're less irritating then you might actually be better off taking bigger, smoother hits from the 12". I'd get both though since they offer very different but equally enjoyable experiences.

Maybe, but it is available from a US warehouse with great QC and some members said they want other than the Gate options...like I said I like my FC199 but not the wobbles (too much to sand, maybe a grinder) so paying a little more can sometimes save you money as I am looking at the new FC199 mainly due to the wobble (and water pooling in the mouthpiece joint).

its things like this I missed most about FC, thorough Analysis, not only of the products but whether they fit the need of a individual, things like ascetics are a so "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" type thing but is def something to take into consideration, for me I'm more interested in function, others value ease of cleaning and little effort maintenance most. but the ability to obtain something is often overlooked, for people with more financial resources its not often a concern or not a big enough one to not obtain what it is they want. for people of more limited finances its a bigger issue and compromise of obtaining something specific over what it affordable or at least they are willing to spend to get something is a bigger issue and so they not only have to look for something they want but decide whether its feasible financially or better to settle for something close enough to fill the need.

to be clear, by fab, I meant their straight fab fol, from the same place CaliBear... :tup:

I do like the straight fab myself, better then the one @LesPlenty linked, my straight fab is more beautiful to me but the reg can is likely much easier to clean. but the one linked is on a deep sale and the straight fab is full price right now. both great pieces

I get tempted by their natty about once a month. Even if I didn’t use it, it’s a good looking piece!
curse you for suggesting to look at that bong @Timps27 ! it is actually really nice looking 👍 if I were vaping more regularly id be very temped, my desktop is on a high harvest table so sitting to vape wasn't something I could do, that natty looks very tall, though I could have looked at the specs :doh: but would have been good for my setup and circumstances in the past. but having to pay vat tax for delivery to Canada isn't something I'm willing to do ..... again 😅 I'd go looking for a gate alternative but more than happy with my straight fab, especially not vaping as often now but the future .........:hmm:
