EDIT: I messed up, some of this commentary (about the height of the load) is actually about something @Helios said in another post. I think. Hope I got that reference right ... Sorry. This comes of trying to combine posts. If I respond to individual posts individually I don't get mixed up...

See I don't get that impression at all - that the Alpha is "touchier" or harder to use than regular UDs. I came to the Alpha via an SC2, and the improved airway alone is a huge leap forward over older UD cores. Keeping in mind I exclusively use glass stems and have since day 1, over 6 years...

I might be able to perform the test, but reporting on it later could be a problem ...

I'm with you on conservation of herb, LOL! I have also found a fully loaded Alpha glass direct draw stem - which has the largest bowl - is more than I need or actually want. I don't really get much higher than when I'm microdosing. Even when I don't load it heavily, just using 2 or 3 times as...

@underdog - I'll keep the wild vaple and use it as a stem stand, turns out it is drilled out PERFECTLY for the base of whatever stem I am using to drop all the way to the bottom and stand upright. I can actually "stack" my 2 most frequently used stems in it and it is still stable LOL! But...

Oh I would want only glass stems in the modified cork holder. My glass one hitter right now is a 3" long 3/8" OD glass stem that I took of something or other that you sent me (I can't remember, I should have taken pictures before I started taking stuff apart LOL!) connected to one of your...

The Wild Vaple was originally an air core that started to rattle, which, when I mentioned it off-handedly (thinking I needed to tighten a nut somewhere) it turned out was an issue with some vape bodies back then charring. So you replaced it under warranty. It originally had an air core in it...

Have you considered using copper mesh or fine copper wire instead of SS for the metal mass? How are you coming on sourcing bamboo for log vapes? Would you consider making a batch using heavy duty cardboard tubes, possibly painted? I would really like to see some pictures from people using...

Seriously I don't get the hate... I stopped posting largely because of it. I mean I hate my Plenty (the one that looks like some kind of Black & Decker tool) but I don't go on their thread and post about it all the time, telling everyone who likes it that they are horrible lying shills. I've...

+/-0.1v is nothing on these low cost VVPS. On the UD supplied ones, when they show 2 decimal places, that is nothing near accurate. Just assume that whatever your display shows, its only accurate to within about +/= 0.1. It flips around because its on a rounding edge, like the internal...

So remember this whole thing with the screens and stems was predicated by the fact that the UD standard screens - which are NOT particularly coarse, mind, just normalish - were totally unusable with the "shake" I can get here because they started grinding it to the consistency of flour. Stuff...

I have way less hot-spotting using a piece of food-safe, heat resistant silicone tubing as a "tip" on the end of the stem. 1/2" tubing for the alpha stem and 3/8" tubing for the regular stem. I use 2 pieces of tubing in each size for my glass one-hitter because the glass tip is so small (3/8")...

@Enialis I was planning on going to a coarser grind for the UD, because the crumbs come through the provided screen. However you can drop a 1/2" screen flat on top of the UD provided screens for the Alpha glass direct draw stem (if you put the UD basket screens in flat side up) - but your fine...

@Enialis I have never even once overpowered ANY of my Underdogs, starting from the EconoDog, then my Wild Vaple (both with the air core), then the Tiger Vaple with SC2 core, now my Alpha and my SC3+ Now I am admittedly a lightweight - But @arb is no lightweight so possibly he will chime in...

@Enialis I am not sure getting a different VVPS will help if your power in the house is screwed up. Is there any way you could run one good known circuit from the breaker box? If its a workshop it doesn't have to be run through the walls, you could run it in conduit (assuming the circuit box...

@Okla68 Ghee is clarified butter that is cooked over low heat until golden brown and all the solids have turned to little brown crisps. My ex used to eat those crisps as a kid growing up when his mom made ghee, they were a treat to him. I tried that once. Once. Love the ghee. I'll leave...

Yeah, I rarely disclose that. Until a recent trip to the ER, I could have said NEVER but I let it slip while in distress, what can I say. I particularly dislike the way they ask, which has to be scripted because it is ALWAYS the same - "do you use any street drugs including marijuana?" I...

I'm with you on the health front. I can't take any pain meds or anything like valium etc, they all make me sick as a dog. Basically pain meds, if I can take anything even approaching an effective dosage, knock me totally out, and when I finally DO wake up, I have headaches, nausea, I'm groggy...

Thanks anyway, I'll go with water washing my ABV and making sleepy-time tea. There are no belches. There is no bad taste. In fact when I make the tea, it tastes of tuaca and khoa. Well, and actual tea flavor as well. No chlorophyll burps. If you still are getting chlorophyll burps after...

That is the Alpha glass direct draw stem. As far as I know, that is the largest bowl of any of the stems. I would guess you could get a larger "bowl" if you run it through a bong, but as far as just using it with the stem, I think that's the biggest. It is also the main reason I went to an...
