Thought: The Lotus is interesting in that it starts the hit at a high temp and then the temp goes down (eventually to room temp) as the hit progresses.
Key things I've noticed so far are ground up layer(s) of weed (about 0.3g per layer) and something to hold it together and make a sandwich. I definitely use the discs, and have tried it with 5 discs only, however this didn't work as well as the bud sandwich. There is some residue that builds up...
It can be an enjoyable part of the ritual, I especially enjoy it on my Lotus when I pull off the cap, give a quick stir, then cap back on, it's very satisfying.
That being said it is another step, another part of the process that for some people means a delay in medication. And for people who...
Okay I made a quick video illustrating my point: https://vid.me/K2eq
I actually did this pretty well once, but because I was shooting on instagram video and I sent it directly, I had no way to export it out of the phone, very sad. Anyway, vape video shooting is progressively more difficult and...
Log vapes are pretty cool but I would like to point out some weaknesses (in current models). Such as:
-No ambient temp sensor (so performance varies depending on how hot or cold it is)
-Requires stirring (many vapes are like this but some are not actually)
-Requires grinding (same as above...
Took a pic of how the ceramic disc screens fit in the herbalAire, these things work so well!
Can change convection/conduction ratios by stacking up a bunch (eg 3 on bot, 1 on top), use them to smoosh up buds (particularly great for unground buds), and use them as a sort of ceramic substrate...
With clean screen the airflow seems quite good to me. I keep one screen soaking while I have the other in the FM. Switch it out whenever airflow gets too slow.
charge it up, run it on red a few times and maybe blow into the air vents (to ensure it's all clean for use). then use it with the finest ground up ganja you got.
OK man I think you just like to argue I'm not even sure what we're talking about anymore.
let me requote the original post that set this off
This is offensive to us herbalAire users because as stand-alone critiques they are a bit ridiculous. Like, oh the unit is not heavy enough for me...
Yeah the costlier vapes are like Mercedes, you pay a ton but get the luxury experience and car service for a bunch of years. Actually this isn't even true given how much I've seen other users add things to the VXL or change the whip on the Herbalizer. Soooo yeah, the other vapes that are keep in...
My current method of HA'ing, I use these awesome vapor bros ceramic screens (fit is nearly perfect) as spacers to give more convection. Three on the bottom one on top, no screen in tong (not needed). Water tool tong is a must, even using dry imo, the mp/tong will never fall out since it's deeper...

i've happily ordered from there before and they are active on the forums as well. currently oos, but as slow draw mcgraw says email is a good idea.
So the test where the bowl gets loaded up and vape turned on but no hits... isn't it possible that it's not a great test because normally you would be pulling air through thus mitigating the conduction effect... when it's just sitting there the conduction really builds up and gets the bowl to a...
Theoretical question: 0.1g is placed in a conduction vape and 0.1g is placed in a convection vape. Which will produce more vapor? Or would they produce equal amounts of vapor? (All other factors excluded, they both work perfectly in terms of conduction and convection.)
