The Z8 is clearly the hardest hitting vaporizer I’ve ever tried. Even with small loads I have to be a bit careful not to melt my face off. :freak: I think that’s because it delivers so much heat so early in the draw. My convection portables have the loads very close to the heater so they’d...

Congrats on the anniversary and new release @firewood ! I still love my 7 but I was on the fence about upgrading to the 8 due to a few things that I didn’t think were ideal about it. I think almost all of the issues I had with the 8’s design are more to my preferences in the 9, and the return...

Logs are pretty tried and true. You can also check out Heat Island, Underdog, WoodScents, CouchLog, etc. if you want more log options. If you like using a whip or you think you’ll like inhaling from bags (they can’t sit around too long or the vapor will condense on the bag) the XQ2 should work...

@Spj3k1 Just so you know, there are a fair amount of people here interested in material safety, we just don’t have a lot of data to work with. I hope you manage to find some and that you’ll still share it here if you do. I think most of the devices we use are fairly safe, but until more of...

I know some people do it, but I’m not sure exhaling through your nose a lot is the best idea. Maybe it’s fine for some, I think my sinuses would end up a mess if I put that much vapor out my nose. I try to cover my teeth with my lips so vapor can’t hit the front as I inhale. I think that or a...

There are a lot of incompatible coils out there (different pin configurations), but if you buy them from someone who knows what they’re talking about they should be able to tell you if they’re selling you a coil that’s compatible with common contrillers like the Auber RDK300s. The CH B2 @Grass...

I think we would have heard about it if anyone was doing serious scientific studies of extraction efficiency on these. That is probably just Troy’s perception (maybe colored a little by what he likes or makes money on) of their relative levels of efficiency. It’s the kind of data a lot of us...

It’s a bit off topic so I hope we don’t end up with a long chain of edible posts here, but I do want to say I’ve had the best experiences with home-made edibles where I don’t know what was in them, with hash rosin based stuff, and with RSO or other whole plant extracts. The pure THC extracts...

I’d love to see it too; please post that update here! :)

I’m surprised 87 didn’t get more love too! There are a lot of really nice ones though. :love: I think my top 5 are 81, 82, 86, 87 and 88, but I’d be happy with any of them!

I’ll second the Toad. It came with some beads I put in the stems myself and they help with cooling, but otherwise it’s a complete package that’s ready to go as soon as you slide in the heater, stem and battery. You can still use it with a j-hook or other glass, and that can be beneficial with...

That sounds bad! Can you describe how you connected it wrong to help other people avoid the problem? If the battery was smoking, I would talk to Marc before trying to use the battery…

If I were buying one thing that covers fast extraction and slower sessions and I needed to get it soon (my favorites take a while to get and aren’t the easiest to share with inexperienced users, but they’re most similar to the TM), I would probably go with the TM or Firewood. The Firewood 8 has...

On the other hand, if you do try for something that will give you a long, slow session, remember that the majority of what you breathe in and out while smoking is just burned plant material with no positive effects I know of. If you try to get big clouds of exhaled vapor to match what you see...

If you’re talking about DIY stuff they’re only relevant in the fact that people can make things for themselves instead of buying any pre-build devices…is that what you mean? :hmm:

I’m not saying anyone should price gouge, but let’s say someone is selling these at $180 each and $60 is profit and they have 2,000 potential sales this year (which I doubt any of these will reach). The maximum they could make is $120,000 which is enough to support about 1-3 people in the US...

@felvapes I think a lot of the concern for these small businesses comes from seeing a lot of them (and even some of the larger ones) go out of business. Price competition is good for consumers in the sense that they can buy more for less, but it can also be bad for everyone involved if prices...

I have one of the CH (really NewVape) handles on mine and the setup is the DC stand weighted down by a tall-ish grinder (FlowerMill) and the handle sits on the grinder so it’s a bit more stable. I’m interested in better options though…I have some ideas, so maybe I’ll get around to making a good...

I haven’t timed it, but I feel like my Z8 is ready to go in 5 mins or less. Faster than my FlowerPots for sure. It can’t match the heat-up times of a portable, but portables have a lot less mass to heat. I think it’s a reasonable time for a desktop though, and once it’s at temp you can leave...

I would read user experiences with the newer DaVinci stuff before buying one or ruling them out. In my experience the Ascent works best with a series of draws over a few minutes or more, but it’s possible that the newer ones are capable of faster extraction. I think I was misinterpreting what...
