There is a way to over come the herb bowl I had one made for the DuctionH20, the bowl did its job but the heater didn't so I'm going to re look at that coming few weeks.
I had a good round of testing today. I had 2 fellow vapers help with the testing. The vapor production was right on time. However the flavor seemed to suffer a bit after the body of the unit became well heat soaked. We even had 2 combustion events. Once with a dramatic cherry blowout into the bubbler. This is not entirely a bad thing. I think that better heater control will tame that. Has there been any thought of adding a feedback (thermocouple) to have the heater not overrun the temps. I tried again with oil once the unit was heat-soaked just to try but had no luck.
Never more than 1-1.5 mm past the "on". Once it was hot I had it turned lower than the "on" line and still charring the load. More testing today.![]()
My take on this focuses on the residue that collects on the screen. Glass is so much easier to get clean whereas there's always going to be a bit of previous matter on a SS gauze unless you put effort into it (or rotate screens). I don't really ever "taste" the screen itself, but I do think it contributes to a bit of aftertaste that gets combined into the current load. For me, it's a pretty trivial matter because stronger tastes of the same thing cancels it all out, but I will swap cartridges/ELBs/stems and sometimes rigs if I switch up strains. Overall, it's more of a "clean" thing than it is a particular manufacturing material.I've tried very, very hard but can never actually taste the screen in the airpath--and they're so easy to clean that it seems like an OK compromise even for an all-glass pathway.
I can get some really tasty hits with flower before the heat builds up in the glass. It is very hard to control the heat to keep those flavorful hits going once the glass gets hot. I have gotten some hits that definately rival my EVO and Herb Nail as far as flavor and vapor density. The "party mode" of the bowl piece was very messy and hard to both load and unload, and the WP gets a lot of ABV inside. With better heater control this thing will be a beast!
I have big plans for testing this weekend. I will post pics of what I'm allowed to.Could you post some pics please?
The concept is sound. It just needs the fine tuning. I am planning to use a k-couple with my Fluke meter to see if I can get better control with some feedback.
Great idea! I hadn't thought of that. Yes I can connect my meter to the terminals to view voltage also. I will do that as well.If I'm not mistaken your heater has a little white part on the cord that allows to see the voltage being applied, maybe you can find tune it that way.
Well, effectiveness of this vape cannot be disputed. I "tested" myself to sleep yesterday.![]()
By 50% (half power) I meant that my meter was reading 24v. Not 50% on the control knob.@DieHard I just has a quick meeting with our engineer and he has all the parts to make the new heaters for your controller, as well as the new heaters for the Core.
I will keep you updated once they are done and ready to be shipped to you for testing.
The heaters for the Core will need further testing and that will be done by @SamuraiSam
Also next week we will be discussing a new way to do oils for the Odyssey and will keep you guys informed.
@DieHard also want to point out that you are running the heaters at half power and that is to much with 150 watts, running it at 25%-35% power with the new heaters should be enough.

Yes! More flavor to be had on the lower end, I think.24v is half power at about 75 watts on the heater you go and going any higher it would not work as combustion would occur as that heater you have was for 50volts at 150 watts. So making the new heaters at 150 watts for 110 volts means running at 24 volts would essentially be running at 50 watts.
Im still not sure if i want to do 150 watts at 110v or 100 watts at 110v giving you more room on the lower end to play with. Make sense? Reason why we are testing.
Yes! More flavor to be had on the lower end, I think.
