    DiY glass symphony

    I'd say the GS is easier to burn yourself only if you grab at the glass by accident, which I could see if you were really cooked (and the GS will fuck you up). It's a big honkin device so it wouldn't be that tough to knock it over and send hot balls flying if you're not paying attention...

    DiY glass symphony

    The intense flavor from these heavy hitters is the best! The larger the surface area of the bowl the better. That was something I immediately noticed and loved with the Flowerpot and its companion Shovelhead bowl. The GS doesn't have the added conduction of a metal bowl but the flavor is better...

    What would be your Trinity of vapes?

    The Tinymight and Flowerpot would be in my top 2, they see the most usage from me. They're both dependable, hard hitting and versatile. The 3rd would be a tough choice and would get split amongst a large portion of my vapes. My latest, a DIY Glass Symphony, is kicking some serious ass. It's a...

    Herbie V2 by Vape Engineering - 510 dry herb vaporizer

    Mine was received by DHL on Jan 5 with no progress since. Previous shipments I've received via DHL were received within a week from Florida to Canada and Finland to Canada but this must be a slower shipping method (hopefully no extra fees). DHL's site is acting funny for me though because...

    DiY glass symphony

    My cartridge heater showed up yesterday! This piece was originally ordered in September but they had sent me a 220V heater by mistake (which took 3~ months) followed by this replacement. The wait was well worth it. I've been dosing heavily lately for medical relief (and also because of my...

    Phase3 Vaporizers

    I've checked up on this thread quite a few times in the past but only lurking. I'll definitely throw my name in the ring for an order @invertedisdead once you get everything sorted out. Glad to here you're making progress.

    Dabpress Rosin Plates

    I came across an article in the last week about a top commercial rosineer that only uses 37μ for flower. That seemed odd to me, only because I had not come across that opinion before but, if you're behind using 37μ I'll have to give it a try. Do you use various packing methods or just bottle...

    Blame COVID, it's the Debbie Downer of this decade.

    Cannabis Hardware (formerly NewVape) FlowerPot Twax Vaporizer

    @RustyOldNail Quartz is another material I couldn't find a good source for. I started with some jewelry quartz that just melted when I torched it and then I couldn't find anything after that I trusted. There was a couple reports of Quartz melting in SSV mods but they must have not been using...

    Cannabis Hardware (formerly NewVape) FlowerPot Twax Vaporizer

    With borosilicate balls I only buy made in USA or Germany, I don't the China made stuff because the properties of the glass they list don't line up with better (Anerican or German) standards . The SiC that I've looked at doesn't have the same discrepancies and they list the particular sintering...

    Cannabis Hardware (formerly NewVape) FlowerPot Twax Vaporizer

    I was speaking with sellers on DHGate, Aliexpress and Alibaba a few months ago which is when I started learning about the different sintering processes. Interesting stuff. It's much easier if you can find something in your own country but then the cost is usually much higher. If you can find...

    You can also find smaller quantities of SiC on Aliexpress if you don't need the larger package they offer. There are a few different sintering methods of producing SiC so you would have to confirm which they offer. Many will offer more than one.

    Herbie V2 by Vape Engineering - 510 dry herb vaporizer

    That's a Lost Vape Paranormal 250C right? I have a Paramour coming from China but I don't expect it anytime soon, and so my Paranormal will be the mod to use in the meantime. I'll let you know how mine works when the Herbie arrives. The Herbie uses SS304 or am I forgetting an update from @Vape...

    Cannabis Hardware (formerly NewVape) FlowerPot Twax Vaporizer

    I don't get any hotspots, the only uneven cooking of the herb will be the top layer on a deeply packed bowl or the edges if I'm drawing to fast (tunelling). I compulsively stir after each hit unless I pack a smaller bowl which will be vaped in one long massive draw.

    Cannabis Hardware (formerly NewVape) FlowerPot Twax Vaporizer

    A fine grind does allow for bigger hits but I wouldn't say it's a requirement. My OG HerbRipper XL medium is more of a medium/fine grind which I use daily in addition to a BCG medium (regular and large), and both grinds produce a lot of vapor. I run my B1 at 300°C/572°F and I like to give it a...

    Cannabis Hardware (formerly NewVape) FlowerPot Twax Vaporizer

    Me too. The other glass bowls work well enough, though I find you have to hold the head level if your glass bowl isn't as wide or it sits crooked and doesn't pull all the air through the heater. The plusplus is nice and wide and just works so damn good. I really wish they would restock or...

    Dabpress Rosin Plates

    My Dabpress showed up yesterday evening, so after some family time I cleaned it, set it up, and got to pressing! This is a really solid looking unit and I think my only complaint so far is the magnets (which I expected) and they'll work fine until I make something a little easier to grab. I...

    Do you mean you fold it in half in the Dabpress or before you put it in? Starting at the top plate>parchment>parchment>rosin bag>parchment>parchment>bottom plate?

    Dabpress Rosin Plates

    Do you use a single piece of parchment or do you double up? Somewhere I watched a video and they were doubling up so there was no bleed through. I was not sure how common that is or if that's an unnecessary step.

    Dabpress Rosin Plates

    My pump showed up yesterday, it's huge! I've used hydraulic hand pumps a fair bit in the past but the 11ton pumps I used were half the size of this monstrosity. I'm not complaining, it'll be easier to pump, it just surprised me. The 12-ton press is showing up later today so I'm hoping I have...
