I think I've gone through a couple of zips without cleaning it. I don't have any cleaner and don't like to use iso,. Been too lazy/busy to go get some.
:puke:
I'm thinking about picking up an infrared thermometer for use with a torch so I can get more consistent. The reason why the runt is still my favorite vaporizer, the torch is so much quicker. I could get my bowl prepared, grind medicine, etc while the coil is heating up, I'm just impatient...
Yes, I tried the elev8r with balls and quickly realized the draw was too restrictive for me. I can't be the only one who used a coil and no beads though...?
The elev8r is stupid simple, even with a torch. Focus the flame on the heater dimples, heat for 20-45 seconds, draw. That's it. It will take some trials to see how long to heat for your draw speed, but combustion isn't nearly a concern like the runt.
:rockon:
Besides the G43 and GS, which were designed to use beads, I haven't seen a vape that really benefits from the addition of beads. The elev8r and the SSV both work flawlessly without them, and both are powerful enough to match any draw speed or water setup you can through at them.
:2c:
Imo, it's too many, but I'm not a fan of beads in the elev8r. I felt that adding beads killed the free-draw nature of the piece and just took the life out of it.
If I was going to add beads again, I'd only fill half way.
:rockon:
Edit: thanks homies for letting me know about the pid temps...
