    Minimum Filtration and Maximum Cooling

    Hello Archibald I am not a big concentrate fan, but I am a dry small glass user for bud. Currently, I am running a 50 ml two neck round lab flask (1.5” diameter) with various lengths of glass stems (4" to 12") that can be chained together to provide more or less cooling, as needed. Temperature...

    Phase3 Vaporizers

    In the wonderful world of small scale business operations, it helps to think of availability as a preorder followed by a product drop. If it helps you feel secure, almost everyone in this thread have been down the preorder road and I don't recall any major complaints. However, in the interest...

    Suggestions for a better home vaporizer

    I am sure by now you have heard “get a ball vape” and I may end up doing the same suggestion. However, my take on ball vapes is different from some and so is my type of use. I wanted better controls than I was getting on my analog devices, as well as better taste. That led to s PID controlled...

    What's your favourite vape to watch a movie with?

    I load the backup LSV, most all the required parts, fit into its bag which lives beside the couch. However, there are as good as or better choices depending on what a different user may want.

    PLENTY Vaporizer

    Different users, different types of use. I parked my Plenty into a specific use slot (party vape) where its design and capabilities really shine. When I got it I tried it in different slots where it just wasn't the right device because its design and capabilities didn't shine.

    Herb Grinders

    I see grinds, temperatures, and draws in a similar light, we all have different preferences, vapes, glass etc. So as soon as someone suggest something like a grind, It's going to be wrong for a portion of the populace. Perhaps it is best to work such things out on our own as we dial in our...

    Ball vape with ss balls and induction heating

    There is no “regular” just a couple of commonplace configurations. So, what you have to do is match the choices for yourself before purchase, be careful. Good Luck.

    Phase3 Vaporizers

    I have never had a need to stir when doing one hitter. However, if I over pack the bowl I end up stirring. About the plastic smell, if memory serves zirconia doesn't start off gassing till 4500 f however I don't know about the plastic in the PID. Which is carrying the needed power to crank the...

    Ball vape with ss balls and induction heating

    I see some possible advantages and challenges, but being ignorant when it comes to induction heater rigs, I have questions. In terms of temperature accuracy and repeatability, do induction heaters and PID controlled coils compare well?

    Cheap High Quality Bubbler

    I don't know if this would be of use but taking a look into lab glass is an option. There are lots of 14 mm (14/20 nomenclature) and 18 mm (19/22) pieces made of borosilicate glass. I have found bargain glass tubing, adapters and various flasks. As a mater of fact, I am using a 50 ml (~2") globe...

    Darn it, Coolbreeze, I was hoping you were on the verge of reaching critical pot mass. :(

    Microdosing with Phase 3 ZX vs other ball vapes

    An observation, when dialing the ZX screen depth I tried a screen on the ledge that positions the head depth. It was workable, but it made the head prone to falling off the bowl. Preparation wise I adjusted the temps up and down and went with finer and coarser grinds (MFLB finish grinder to...

    Phase3 Vaporizers

    A thing I found is that if I formed enough of a dome in a ZX stock screens, it would reduce their diameter enough that they could be stacked on top of the flat semi fixed screen. One needs to be patient and careful during the forming, but it works.

    Microdosing with Phase 3 ZX vs other ball vapes

    I've been reading about the ZX and it seems to be a brilliant piece of kit. I see it being touted as the best ball vape for microdosing…. I have a ZX as a daily driver because it is so easy to use with small loads (~.03 g) but it is not the taste champ. That laurel belongs to a modded, PID...

    Safest O-ring material

    I am a big fan of 70A durometer silicone o-rings (red ones) as impact bumpers, hose stiffeners (less kinking) sealing etc. I positioned one to be in contact with my ballers heating coil to see if it would degrade, and it took a couple of months to die. So I try to keep the o-rings out of the hot...
