I'm curious - why the hostility towards this discussion? you seem really eager to dismiss the experience of many respected FC members and put a lid on this discussion. you're also stating your opinion as fact, which I thought was frowned upon around here. and how does the discussion do a...

this is a somewhat bizarre post which demonstrates a disturbing absence of logic. you are saying it's not an effective harm reduction tool because it gave you a headache? you don't even smoke cigarettes? Are you sure you understand the concept of harm reduction? I agree that there is...

@Michel - I agree that there have been some major quality control issues with the miniVAP. I personally have had to return two failed units. I suspect that Hermes sold a whole bunch of units that should have been thrown in the trash. this has done pretty serious damage to their brand. kinda...

I don't use the crafty as my main go-to device, but the battery isn't an issue for me. I get a reliable 3 sessions with a couple bars left to spare... I know I can get 4 sessions because I've done it a few times, but I just choose not to exhaust the battery. if it were your main device, I...

yeah, I prefer the stock setup as well. If I don't want to deal with the cooling unit I just don't use the Crafty I might try to make one of those adapters that @elmomuzz crafted

interesting idea. I do actually have a few spare lids (don't ask)... I might actually try that? but I think separating the heat from the load is the key here. the basket only goes in the chamber while you are taking a draw and then is removed immediately. whether or not you use the lid is...

in my opinion, the miniVAP basket serves no purpose when you just drop it in the bowl and install the cooling unit on top of it. it just acts as a heat sink, absorbing heat that might otherwise be going into the herb. it's not eliminating conductive or radiant heat transfer because the basket...

that's all I mean... if there is significant radiation and conduction, it's no longer "nearly 100% pure convection" use of the lid doesn't detract or take away from convective heat transfer. some people just prefer as little conduction and radiation as possible. @Michel I would definitely...

having spent some good time with both the new TC and GC miniVAP, I have to say that both new units are a different sort of beast than either of my previous ones. basically the new units are more powerful. but the difference isn't just quantitative. both of my new units are basically incapable...

I just wait until the light goes solid and go to town. first hit gives clouds out of either tc or gc on purple for me

my experience dealing with Hermes directly has been totally positive. better than any of my experiences with any of the miniVAP vendors. they even managed to ship my new teflon core to me here in the US, from Spain, in 3 days (for free). speaking of which, between the GC and the TC I am in...

yeah I've gotten the "dab sweats" before from hitting the mv with a full large basket. I use the small basket mostly these days

good question and the answer is that they are almost exactly the same diameter at the rim, and if anything the outer diameter of Q basket is a touch larger. I would need a precise caliper to measure the difference, it's microscopic. bonus feature of the Q baskets is they make neat little caps...

it is a fog machine

it's not great to see the cracked intakes, but it's not a huge deal. early adopters might need to chill a bit. FC members should know that even boro is quirky, and this is a brand new product. these parts are easily replaced.

I have spent some more time with my GCmv. Wow, this thing absolutely NUKES herbs. It is certainly not a pure convection unit, rather it appears to provide substantial conduction and radiation as well - very similar to the mighty/crafty. Had me wondering last night if this thing was actually...

I used a minivap flexicone and basket, an 18mm --> 14mm reducer, and a small length of silicon tubing to mate the flexicone to the reducer

not the greatest video, but you get the idea:

this glass core model really is different. it actually performs very similarly to the Cloud Evo in terms of both the massive vapor output and the way flavor deteriorates after ~2 hits... I like to use very small loads in the Evo that I can finish in ~2 hits, to avoid the spent taste. might...

that's correct. you need a flexicone and basket to use the minivap/crafty/mighty this way.
