I've been trying the CouchLog for 3 weeks and it meets my expectation of making big, powerful clouds of hash. In addition it has features that I like, like the unplugged use or the mouthpiece that also serves as a WPA.

As a flight plan, I choose the herb chamber filled to 1/5 with hash, the temperature set to seven, I make 1 or 2 light and tasty clouds with the mouthpiece in my mouth and 3 huge clouds with the mouthpiece on a water pipe.

If you can remember to stir after each cloud, it can be a very strong hit ;)

Without having used a logvape for a long time, I needed to make several tests before finding the ideal quantity of material (too much material clogs the airflow after a few clouds) and temperature.

On the accessory side, the orange tool from another German manufacturer comes in handy for stirring/scraping the herb chamber; but it may be a matter of habit.

Between two sessions, when blowing hard on the screen is not enough to maintain the air flow I clean the herb chamber with a rag and burn the screen.

At first I bent a few screens trying to remove the herb chamber from the mouthpiece before I realized that the mouthpiece needs to be cleaned (soap and water), which seems obvious in hindsight :lol:

The mouthpiece put in mouth gives the possibility to make some delicious puffs then to follow, without manipulating the herb chamber, with a water pipe for huge clouds :tup:

Its small size with rounded shapes, the careful finishing (the fabric under the log for example) make the CL beautiful and comfortable to my eyes.

I love to use it, unplugged, to extract the taste and effect of the hash.

Oh great, what a post to follow up after, lol.

So, I’m a strugglin’ mightily. Not really sure if it’s something that can be fixed or if a log just isn’t for my style.

I cannot get a big clean hit to save my life. By clean I mean no browning or tunneling. I can do this in my Firewood, my Tinymight, or my Tetra. Not sure if the narrowness of the chamber is causing this, or if it has something to do with not being able to ride the last residual heat when you let go of the power button on those vapes, or I just need to keep practicing and find my ideal temp. Or, that yes, it’s not really that type of vape, your gonna get some browning no matter what. I will say that I’ve never had good results with chambers that narrow, so when I saw how narrow it was, I was a little depressed, lol.

I’ve been using temps between 3-6 and it really doesn’t matter what temp I use, if I try and prolong a hit to have a large hit, it tunnels in the middle. My pack is fine, my grind is fine, my tamp is fine……all the usual suspects are fine. So I’m really having a hard time with my breath speed I guess. I’m running out of breath speeds to try out. Everyone says it’s a super easy vape, just let er rip basically. Oh, and this is all using it natively.

Is there something obvious that I’m missing, or something different I need to do towards the end of my hit?

I wanna like this, I really do. And it has nothing to do with the price. It has a fantastic feel in the hand, super smooth finish with the perfect amount of heft to it. I got it for the cordless feature, and I’ve been so preoccupied with trying to get a hit that I’ve never even unplugged it yet, lol.

I don't think I have ever had this problem. I am not sure what you mean by browning and tunneling, but it sounds like you want the duff to be an even color? Mine is always completely even in the Couchlog, even at low temps. It doesn't bother me if it is not all one color, but it always is when I inspect the duff.

Like you said, you ran through the usual suspects: a course grind. A slow draw, low temps... And typically that hasn't mattered too much for my CL, especially through the native stem.

I suppose it could be something wrong with the device? That would be a real drag but I can't think of another reason.

Tunneling as in a dark brown "spot" just in the middle of the load usually going from the very top of the load to the very bottom, if it's a really bad tunneling. This can happen with too fast a draw or too tight a pack. And browning, yes, I'm looking for a much much more even colored top of load. It's not a little brown colored, it's definitely too much, affecting flavor. I think browning is caused by too slow a draw, but that's just a guess on my part. I mean it seems logical that since a to fast draw tunnels your breath to the middle, that a too slow draw would kinda mean the opposite, so that's my best guess, lol.

I really don't know where to turn from here. If my theory on too slow a draw is correct then I'm at a loss where my breath speed should be, because I don't think I have a breath speed that's in between the tunneling and the over browning. I don't know, I'm sure I'm screwing up somewhere, just can't figure out where.

Yeah, that is what I thought you were saying. That sucks and doesn't match my experience at all.

Any other folks seeing this kind of thing? Tunneling and whatnot?

As if on cue, I write something long and embarrassing, and now I'm having one of my best sessions with it, lol. It's only on level 3, but I'll take it for now. Knock on wood.
Awesome! I was thinking it. If I go native I usually have it down about 4.3 and it browns up but I've never had anything drastic. Glad you found the spot!

Does it always take a post telling the world your a bad vaporist to then have some good fortune thrown your way, lol. Geez.

Just did 3 sessions that were all pretty darn good, I'm kinda high AF to be truthful, lol, little too for my liking right now. They weren't perfect, but me and that diameter oven are gonna have a fist fight in the next couple days......so again, knock on wood for the weekends sessions!

Edit: Also, I did notice something that was contributing to a bad session........and it was ofcourse, more embarrassment for me, so I'll just leave it at that, lol.

For anyone who is wondering, I reached out to Chris on IG to ask about how one goes about buying one-offs he posts, and it turns out he’s got these three lovely split tone pieces available. I wasn’t expecting him to have something available immediately, and thought I’d share in case anyone wanted one and didn’t know.

AFAIK, plenty of exotic woods can have a similar feature. Cocobolo, rosewood, bubinga and even ebony can have similar contrasts.
And many "domestic" hardwoods, too.
Walnut is usually prized for the darker heart while the sapwood is light. Same with cherry, and many of the fruitwoods..
Heartwood is often harder (more durable) and for some reason (visual appeal), in furniture and cabinetry sapwood is considered almost a defect. Artists love it!
Spalting is a result of environment, usually minerals, sometimes micro-organisms like bacteria, etc.

Talking woods...any wishes for the next batch? ordering woods soon and can look whats available to do some specials :)

I really don't know all of the woods that you already used, and I won't be buying my next vape until next year but, fwiw:

Monkeypod, afzelia, thuya, zebrano, good old poplar burl, ovengkol (aka shedua), wenge, pale moon ebony (very expensive IIRC) and a boring favorite of mine: hollywood.
