    vaping using vap cotton

    Ha! Some of that sounds like you've had similar thoughts about this. How do you break up the hash? That's the main issue I've had with vaping hash. Depends on the type and state of it, and some are just not very good at getting into small granules. Was just curious of you'd found any good...

    Ha! Ha ha ha ha! Bwa-ha-ha! I've just discovered why people with sense put up with kitchen size butane torches, instead of the beautiful lines of my so compact pocket jet lighter! PMSL! I think I just nearly melted the end off my TA heater! Well there's a turn up for the books! Nearer of an...

    The Screwball by Vapvana

    No problem, I'm more than happy to be challenged on any of my BS. As long as it's a good challenge, something I can check on and respond to, I'll even happily (-ish) admit I'm wrong (as I learn something that way, rather than continue spreading disinfo accidentally). Also, I forget what I've...

    Cool! Sounds like you have it set similar to myself for the best vapour cooling. I'm quite happy to wait a few minutes while slowly debowling and preparing some weed or whatever (or just gazing into my navel in extreme contemplation of the mysteries of the universe, and that little bit of fluff...

    vaping using vap cotton

    Ok, if it's of any interest, just tried the CelluCotton (rayon) in a Thermal Accumulator using the fold-over and wipe technique on a dab of Blue Cheese wax. Didn't use a lot, just a small matchhead sized blob. Used a nichrome microspatula, a flat small spatula about 3 or 4mm wide and just folded...

    I'm guessing you've configured the Revolve for best cooling? You may know about this anyway (sorry, don't mean to patronise!) but the cooling of the vapour is balanced against how hot the stem gets, and all the more so with the wooden sleeve prevent it cooling down so fast (while protecting your...

    Don't forget that tobacco (if you used it) is a vasodilator! Hence why so many old smokers cough their guts up in the morning, and reach for a smoke at the same time! 🤣 (I should know! 🙁)

    It's less to do with the quantity, in fact, too much doesn't work nearly so well, for me, that is! It's much more to do with getting as much in one go, of the full spectrum without scorching it to hell (like a high temp dab does, not so nice I find). Jeez! It must be tough roughing it! You need...

    But far better than 'old git' lungs! Believe me!! <wheeze! gasp!>

    ¿¿¿😳!😵!😶??? I'll read that again when the drugs wear off! 😂 Though I also find the revolve with a wood sleeve works really well, as long as it's given a few minutes with the head off to cool between bowls.

    Well, I have one big advantage on it effecting taste and smell... ... I have very little of either! I can barely tell when a combust happens! (or not until far too late!). I get the principles of the whole thing (cleaning, criteria for being dirty, etc), but have found careful use - I used to...

    I have a suspicion this may be as much to do with my brains different working from most people, because it is very specific, it has to be most of it in one or two hits in the same heat session (i.e. immediate second inhale if not all done in first draw). This was the problem with joints for me...

    Thermal Accumulator by phattpiggie

    Sorry, misunderstood! My reason for sometimes wanting to hit as much of the compounds out the herb in one go, is very much due to the difference in effect I get, from taking it in over a longer period. It's little to do with the physical aspects of the vaping, but very much more to do with how...

    This is very dependent on the person. Apart from the different state of peoples lungs (from abuse, or just plain unlucky), some people are very sensitive to certain terpenes, and even some of the terpene degradation products. My guess is that the temperature effects the coughing severity more...

    Nah, one of the reasons I try to be as clean as possible is to avoid having to do that! I'm one of those idiots who can work out what's happening in theory, but then on taking something apart, I inevitably lose something, put it back together to find an extra component in my hand! Etc etc! Or...

    vaping using vap cotton

    As this is pretty new it seems (with cannabis vaping), there's not a lot of info around on this, but it seems the nicotine vapers have been using for a while and much more familiar, maybe trying some of those forums and sites may also give some suitable examples of 'clean' wadding suitable for...

    It was my impression too, very similar devices in essence, but the way they work is quite different, especially the heat capacity and profile of the different heads. But then I can also see that if push came to shove and I hadn't the money for both, then one would certainly fill my needs. But...

    This is interesting that some are getting their spherical heat capacitors a little scruffy! For whatever it's worth (little most likely!), the inside of the heater, where the bowl sits, looks like new, and the balls as best I can see with a strong light, show no staining or marking at all. I...

    Great post! Thanks @VapingYogi! And those sentiments are so much in my way of thinking too! I absolutely LOVE the thoughts and talk about the science of it all, but when it comes to actually making something, or making a controlled change for a particular effect, it's so much too complex for us...

    The Screwball by Vapvana

    Honestly it's not the way to look at it. There are all three heat dissipation modes, conduction being one, but they change from one to the other, and all though it's useful to tag certain techniques with a name, calling it conduction or convection isn't explaining the physics of it. The real...
