    Cannabis Hardware (formerly NewVape) FlowerPot Twax Vaporizer

    I've taken to setting up a mirror on my table top so that I can watch the can fill up with vapor. Pathetic!

    Good question and there are probably many different answers. Personally, I just don't care to rub my good fortune in anyone else's face. With so many dissatisfied users it would feel like gloating.

    I like the NewVape Pax scoop.

    Cannabis Hardware (formerly NewVape) FlowerPot Twax Vaporizer

    It has to do with the personal pleasure I get out of a long inhalation and a prodigious amount of vapor. It works perfectly on the Hopper — and on the Lotus. But if I draw on the FP that deeply I can get the same amount of vapor — but in half the time and a coughing fit ensues. One...

    Thanks for all the quick responses. Yup, the carb cap does a good job. What I'm looking for is something which frees me up a little — I'm hunched over, trying to keep the glass from moving, trying to spin the carb cap, trying to find its place in the tray, trying to get the FP back on its...

    Cannabis Hardware (formerly NewVape) FlowerPot Twax Vaporizer

    I've been vaping almost exclusively on a Hopper and a Flowerpot/Showerhead since getting the plug-in vape back in May. Now I know you can't really make a direct comparison between the two units as they are different technologies but I'd love to get my Flowerpot to draw with the same resistance...

    The Hopper has a very short vapor path. This is great as far as cleaning goes but it does result in a hot mouthpiece. As has been mentioned, let it cool down between hits. When at home I prefer to use glass, either a simple J-hook or a bubbler. When out and about I find that stretching a...

    TI will never thread as smoothly as SS. I found this out when I bought stainless PFE's for my TI Hoppers. They turn onto the SS threads of the body like they've been greased.

    My dark gray was sent in for RMA in February. I heard nothing from them for months. Finally decided to ask politely when it might be expected. I received an answer in two days with an apology for the delay. They said it would be shipped within days and sure enough, it showed up yesterday and...

    Just heard back from HL and my Dark Gray in for RMA is being shipped back — hell it only took 5 months! Luckily I have a backup Hopper. Here's a question for the community: I bought this little recycler from TAG a while ago. It draws really nicely, very quiet and smooth. So here's my...

    I had this Piggy Malone's catalog back in the '80s which had all sorts of carbs, bats, pipes, and bongs — lots of Star Wars-themed stuff. Then the Reagan administration crackdown put the kibosh on sales of paraphernalia. I remember stocking up on papers, thinking I might not be able to buy...

    Cannabis Hardware (formerly NewVape) FlowerPot Twax Vaporizer

    I have come to really appreciate the NewVape fine grinder. It really seems to make a difference. As far as dry vs. fresh, the FP is so powerful that it doesn't seem to make much difference, unlike some of the portables where the heater struggles to evaporate any moisture.

    Cannabis Hardware (formerly NewVape) FlowerPot Twax Vaporizer

    I've just started using cranberry extract combined with distilled water in my bongs and it really has made cleaning much easier. Highly recommended. I don't use as much as Zangano does, hardly enough to tint the water, but it works nicely. No difference in taste that I can detect.

    One very enjoyable feature of using a j-hook in bright sunshine is simply observing the vapor as it coils out of the PFE and into the glass — a beautiful sight!

    So, what is the consensus regarding water pipes and Hoppers? I love using mine with glass but I have heard speculation that extensive use at level 5 is the reason for the unit's high rate of failure and that back pressure from the water pipe forces vapor and small particles back into the heat...

    Worst vape ever?

    The craft school where I work accumulates a pile of clothing in its "Lost and Found" bins, and at the end of the year we sort out unclaimed clothing to toss out or donate to charity. A few years ago I found a weird object in the pocket of a man's jacket. There were no markings on it but I...

    Worst vape ever?

    Back in the late '90s I ordered a vape online from some now-defunct place called "Yahookah". It was one of those old-style plug-in ones made with an inverted fish bowl, a soldering iron, a whip, and a crummy ceramic base. There was no good way to clear the chamber. There was no temperature...
