    The Screwball by Vapvana

    Thanks! I assumed so, but I noticed that most pictures tend to hide that part, probably because it doesn't look as good for the picture, and more likely simply because the groove is going to be positioned facing down! Doh! 😉

    The Screwball by Vapvana

    That really does look very nice! How does it fit? Is there a groove along the length, or do you need to rewire the enail to slip the cable through the handle? Or something my little brain can't work out? 🤔 Just thinking about what makes the SB such a big step up, especially for the cost, and...

    Dani Fusion by Battery-free Ganz

    I do have to agree on that airflow issue. one thing I noticed was it got significantly worse in full bowl mode. My guess is the screen is sitting flush on the bottom of the bowl, and blocking some of the airpath into the stem. This reduces the effect of opening up the airway adjustment, since...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Can't imagine how that could happen in the middle of vaping cannabis! 🤔 Shockin'! 😧 I suspect, regardless of ease of manufacture, it would just look wrong on the slick and slim Tempest. Personally, I would go for an adapter that looked the part (relative to the 'pests aesthetics) rather than...

    Thermal Accumulator by phattpiggie

    It's gone really quiet here this week! Is it the sense of restrained anticipation as the new TA's grow ever more tangible while we wait with drooling jowels, or was it something I said? 😁 (Oh, ok then, while I wait with drooling ... 😉)

    Dani Fusion by Battery-free Ganz

    Oh, btw, for those struggling with the F2's 'silent' clicker, I found that looking down the hole in the end while heating with flame, if you angle it so the light (window or whatever) reflects off the inner (blue?) surface of the clicker, as it heats you see it first go from flat to a very...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    I'm guessing you've probably already tried or considered using IH, but for what it's worth, I just got a Wand after starting with a pocket jet lighter, and this is a real improvement in certain ways. Much much more adjustable and repeatable in a precise and accurate fashion than I could manage...

    The Screwball by Vapvana

    [Nerd_mode = ON] 😖 It's much much more complicated, at least in terms of making valid predictions. It's the gems size, their shape, how it fits with it's neighbours and the air gaps between, plus the surface effects where it meets the metal, their thermal properties (conduction, specific heat...

    The Screwball by Vapvana

    Just wanted to say that was a really good informative post! Thanks for taking the time and trouble to put all that down. And I have to add/agree the Screwball really outclasses most of the competition, imho especially by using that coil, plus the wider diameter 'tube' of the heater and bowl, the...

    The Screwball by Vapvana

    Isn't that always the way with the best accessories in this game (or so I've discovered!). Every time I've heard a recommended artisan's name, wizz to the site to mostly see a long list of gorgeous looking stuff, every one accompanied by a "Sold Out" sign! (oh, except for the one's with the...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    This does sound odd. I'm not the most graceful and coordinated person (clumsy and ham fisted A.F.), and combusting is just the sort of thing I'm apt to do, because it just didn't seem quite ready (or whatever). So personally I was rather surprised, even using a cheapy pocket torch, that very...

    The Screwball by Vapvana

    Oh, that's a nice idea! I like that, the conductive layer within an insulator. Bowl heats fast, but doesn't lose much heat to convecting with the cooler air outside it. Plus a bonus of a nice looking and unique organic material.

    The Screwball by Vapvana

    Although as a material I absolutely love wood, when it comes to the vaping, I'm mostly looking for the sedative effect as my 'medical' priority, the most racey convective methods are more for intellectual enhancement than mediating negative symptoms. So I've tended to be happy sticking to the...

    They certainly look aesthetically pleasing, but I've never tried anything other than titanium myself. It would be interesting to hear comment from those who have.

    The Screwball by Vapvana

    Can't imagine you won't love it when it finally drops! I couldn't believe how much vapour I can take down with this thing in one go, with such minimal bronchial irritation (depending on strain of course). Ball-vapes in general seem good for this, but the SB appears exceptionally good for this...

    Dani Fusion by Battery-free Ganz

    I confess - it was as much an idea born of ease of implementation without electronic skills and knowledge! I prefer the elegance of an electronic solution, even with the same analogue dial approach, but less prone to mechanical failure - "Damn! Where did that dab drop?". But also driven by...

    Ethanol tincture potency?

    Oh ok, just to look at it, I'd guess it essentially heats the solvent, which condenses above the plant material, constantly dripping clean solvent on to it, and collecting in a reservoir below by gravity where the solvent gets boiled off again (but in a constant flow)? Is that right?

    Ethanol tincture potency?

    Just curious, what method do you use? Or was that the saute bit?

    Ethanol tincture potency?

    As this thread is specifically ethanolic extraction related - I've never in browsing a few forums related to similar subjects, heard of anyone using soxhlet extractors for getting the initial products out of the plant and into the alcohol. Does anyone know of these things? They aren't cheap, a...

    Concentrates for Noobs - Q&A

    I think it smacks of excuses. Mostly if a genuinely good (and especially small) business has some sort of personal emergency that effects customer service, the first thing they do as soon as they get the chance is email out everyone to explain the situation, at least in terms of how they intend...
