I almost exclusively vape Rosin and shatter. I cold load a rice to pea size dab in quartz cup, using crystal mode set at highest dark blue setting and increase temps from there. Rosin is ‘dirtier’ than shatter so it tends to leave burnt residue. Torching always cleans them like new. Of course...
I’ve tried the EQ inserts and beads. Also the SP inserts. They are all thicker than the DD inserts. They heat and clean up well. I prefer the top-hat style of the SP or DD quartz over the EQ. The design of the top-hat covers and keeps the titanium insert cleaner. The SP is half the price of the...
I like the cap. Works well. Nice draw. Enhanced flavor. Heavy, Seals well, Doesn’t get bumped off. Better but not necessary. The beads as far as I can tell don’t really move around much. Tough you can’t see them during cycle. Only their position before/after the draw.
Yes (3) 4mm beads will set on the bottom of the insert. I don’t feel they really add anything but surface area and added maintenance. But fun to experiment with. The inserts from external are nice and thick, I like the ’Tall’ version. I didn’t see any resulting difference using different carb...
I’ve never used any other mode than the crystal and started at the highest Blue setting. I just adjust from there… usually higher, if searching for a little more ‘effect’. I’ve only used the quartz inserts from day one. Although I purchased the thick Smooth Ceramic version as well, it’s never...
The ceramic carriage that the heater rest upon cracked and broke apart as well so, no I can’t rebuild them in the current state. I would suspect they will have a complete list on site soon for parts replacement. I wish for a unit with a more robust heater. A glass lined Herc design ? Now were...
My taste buds were saturated with yummy terps. I really enjoyed the flavor. Though apparently I just don’t get along with the 1701’s and blew them both out within hours. I’m used to the indestructible Hercules heater. Also when the 1701’s break so did the ceramic build / insulators. They both...
