I just got a Sticky Brick Hydro Maxx. Really liking it this far. But I ahve the question to your guys:
How do you get a really dark roast in this thing? I am kind of used to my Tempest roast by now. And while I dont always want a roast this dark, I just don't know how to get a really dark roast in the Sticky brick?
My approaches thus far were:
- With restrictor disk using a single jet lighter. Which makes it basically impossible to combust. I did not like this since how agressive I had to use the lighter to get vapour.
- Without restrictor disc using a single jet lighter. Way better but needs way more practice and I combusted some times. I had the feeling that I can't get the roast I am looking for because before I get there I will combust.
- With restrictor disk using a quadruple jet lighter. My favorite thus far. I hold the lighter way back and can get clouds instantly without much effort. Only negative is if I want to sip slowly it is way harder with a lighter that powerful. But same problem as without the restrictor disk. I combust before I have the chance to make a nice dark roast.
Also do you guys know of any Mouthpiece not made out of glas that would make this brick more portable?
Thanks in advance guys!
I can tell I could have the same results in my OG brick if I was brave enough to use anything but my single flame jet lighter. OTOH I've never combusted in it (yeah!)
But I get my darker combustion roasts in it taking it slowly and far away from the intake with a very gentle whistle sound.
Not much help, I know. Just take it easier and calm down.
I found it to be the viewpoint on session- convection, but it is difficult to achieve it at the session end sometimes, mainly cuz you're already medicated and not focused enough.
And the tamp
Depending on how fluffy vs packed it is the resistance grows...
Try to get equalized all your variables and work on the lighter
