I remember that book Factfulness by Hans Rosling that came out in 2018 claiming the world is better place now than it's ever been. It's an interesting read. But here's a good critique of why some of those positive figures are misleading. Interestingly, it comes from a fellow Swede.

Thanks, I'm gonna give it a read. The testing of electrified coils immersed in liquids was shown to leach metals into the liquid in the study I originally posted but we as dry herb vapers maybe don't care so much about this use case. However, the evidence in both papers shows that dry...

Ok, guess that explains why the study used that. I'm not saying I'm convinced by this one study either but I'm considering the evidence. Not sure what evidence there is to the contrary that the comparison isn't close. My Prrl Neo has a typical kanthal coil that glows for a convection heat...

Hey @Partialgenious , I'll try to address some of your last post as best I can. Firstly, I think it's wise to continue improving your torch skills with a DV. It's the least costly alternative and the Omni is a quality device. The hybrid (largely conduction I believe) heating and the small...

From what I read the liquids tested weren't liquid nicotine but vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol so I'm not sure you read the paper. The thing that bothered me is that for the test in these liquids (wet media), the coil temps are right around 200C and the degradations still occur. Of...

Hey All, I took some time to do a little research today about common materials used in heating coils and potential health concerns. I'm still digging for more info but was not encouraged by this article I came across today. Quick summary, it investigates how two popular alloys, kanthal and...

I agree with this statement if we're considering those new devices as only "butane" powered but they aren't limited to torch power which is why I suggested an induction heater. Even if OP sticks with the Omni an IH would probably help with consistent heating. Works well for me. I do agree...

Very nice hit. Good lung capacity! Maybe time to consider freediving as a second hobby?

Seriously, good job on your final picks. I think they will both serve you really well. Not long ago I picked my first desktop (Couchlog) and I was struggling to decide what to buy. Couchlog was pricy but I'm really happy. The DBV mod wasn't really on my radar at the time but I could easily...

I think maybe there's a misunderstanding here. There's a new class of portable ball vapes (Thermal Accumulator, Stunner, Tempest) that can hit hard like the TM but they're in the format of slightly larger/fatter DV. No bong required as the stem does all the cooling. The Tempest is the newest...

Definitely battery life is a plus. Very happy with mine and it took me quite a while to figure out all the different ways it can be used because it's pretty versatile. It's accommodating to every grind type and packing style and does well with crumbled nugs to boot. Grinder optional. Pretty...

I like the Wand bc it's versatile and proven. The format of the Wand also makes it easier to puff on dynvaps while you're heating them for tasty low temp draws before the click.

That was a wild ride. Very "stream of consciousness". 😆 I picked out the two highlights that made me laugh - in a good way. You start the text with something very specific. One odd thing happened. (funny typo with the "ddd" in "Oddest" that indicates mood lol) And then you proceed to talk...

Hey All, A question about running the CL off a powerbank. I've successfully run the CL with my 5V USB-A powerbank that can supply up to 3A but I just can't seem to get a hot enough temp when used with the VGoodiez glass injector (fixed screen). I'm thinking of using a USB-C powerbank that...

Wow. That is really sad. I love my Neo. I also really wish I had bought some quartz capsules. 😐 Anyone know of a similar capsule I could source somewhere else?

I'll play! You are thinking of the number 25! 25 for the Xmas reference and the thread was posted around 11:25am. That's my reasoning 🤞

I'm sorry but this is gold. Not sure if it was intended but works on a couple of levels 🤣

Yeah, it's not intuitive to heat with the tip facing up but worth it I feel. Even if stuff doesn't get past the ball screen, if it's touching it then it'll likely combust and introduce a slight char to the taste. This used to drive me crazy until I figured it out and now I just avoid the...

I can't say why, but this post stuck in my head a while back even before I got my Couchlog. I was laughing to myself because now this has become my favorite setup. I can't stop either! 😄🚀
