Why are next-gen vapes so effective?

[tasticleeze]

How does the hybrid approach that has everyone so jazzed , work?

Tornado has a second condenser and some ballvapes preheat the bowl for a hybrid effect apparently.

Could anyone please shed light on how this produces more thorough extraction and effects of the experience?

Any input appreciated, my first post and I realize I don’t contribute a lot to this really cool community.

Thank you!

IMO preheating the bowl helps in terms of even extraction through the whole load

Convection tends to heat the center of the bowl more than the walls, while radiation (or if you want to call it conduction, but it is not) heat the load starting from the exterior of the bowl/load, so they are complementary

Also it is possible that heating the load before hitting the vape push decarboxylation further than convection only heating (hence a more narcotic/stoner effect)

Hybrid heating is not exactly the simple thing, it's kind of marketing at this point

Preheating a bowl is not really the same as a full hybrid type extraction, and it's not really as simple as effects from convection and conduction per se... It's about other factors in the designs, like power and mass

Could anyone please shed light on how this produces more thorough extraction and effects of the experience?

Many different vapes have different signatures and different power sources, heating elements, load sizes, extraction styles, different forms of control and regulation... There is such a wide range and number of variables, that its hard to appreciate entirely until you've gotten to experience more types perhaps??

Welcome to FC! There is probably a wealth of knowledge here although it's not that easy to find, so participating helps a lot! I think many of us began on a slippery slope with one then ended up with many more, learning, understanding much more over time

I disagree

There is a huge difference between pure convection heating devices and devices that are tuned to use a combination of convection and radiation/conduction

Think to alan instant heat and a solo: it’s not marketing, they are very different

There are vapes that you can tune to preheat the load (enano when you wait a minute before hitting vs hitting immediately after putting the log on top of the bowl)

There are vapes that are designed to use both heating ways (heating the bowl and heating the air) and I feel they give me different effects (tempest for instance) than a 100% convection

Another example is the heat island when using metal bowl or glass bowl, they are not different by marketing they are different in terms of extraction and effects, IME

Sorry I think you kind of misunderstand what I meant because I said it way too simply, I think what they were referring to as they were specifically referencing tornado and the way some of these things are marketed, like the way session and on demand mode are being used now too some. Does not mean these things aren't real or capable of differences I just don't think it was accurate the way it was being laid out there is all...

That's kind of what my point was, all these variables make it different experience, it's not as simple as something being "hybrid" that term alone has become buzzwordy
