My earlier post was about how some vaporizers are oversold, but I don't think vaping weed is oversold at all. The herb's natural fragrance just happens to be a wide assortment of psychoactive compounds that affect humans in strange ways. I hold the view that the effects are somewhat spiritual...

I like the industrial look and feel of my SS IO, like a professional kitchen appliance. The cylindrical shape and heat make it feel like a mechanical joint. It's good on a road trip. Fits easily in the pocket. The giant button is ideal for me. I use it single-handed whether my other hand...

Some folks may be struggling with this issue. Air is restricted when the resin builds up and partially covers the opening in the very tip. The good news is that you don't have to take it apart, full air flow can be restored in minutes with minor maintenance. Cleaning the opening is super easy...

Yes, have accidentally un-clipped the screen when I was too rough with it. That's why I use a dull toothpick, to minimize the risk of snagging the screen. Also, I accidentally un-clipped the intake screen. Once I unscrewed the little heating element when the mouthpiece threads got stuck...

No study, just interested in improving my own technique. Extending one oz by 5% will pay for the $7 scale, hope to do more than that. Very curious to see how much variability there is, for instance with one strain, just with the variables that I control. I'm already convinced that mo'...

I agree, no one wants to be clogged with fines. I watch for it but haven't seen any sign of it this far. I use a dull toothpick to gently scrape the screens clean then look for light thru the mouthpiece screen and thru the intake ports. I still get the occasional resin buildup in the tip but...

I'm ignorant. Are they portable?

I ordered a scale, will be able to measure the weight change of various strains and different grinds within a few days. The spent load below gave up 11 good hits. The slightly finer grind seems to have resulted in a darker (more spent?) color. Not surprisingly, this load gave better hits...

I gave up trying to find one particular setting, which might change with each strain put in the io. I also wanted a way to count the hits and help me keep track of the remaining bowl life, so I start at the lowest setting and increased one-half a mark each hit. The gradual temperature increase...

Here's a photo of a finished full load side by side with a fresh full load going into the GH io. I filled it then dumped it out for the photo to be sure it was a fair comparison. My old scale wouldn't work so I can only guess the weight reduction is in the range of 20-30%. Knowing that I've...

I suspect a lot of folks are dissatisfied with some of the portable raw herb vaporizors. I have an expensive portable vape device in the closet, which is not a convection design, which is definitely not efficient. It requires more weed and it apparently can't give a satisfying hit. Have been...

I agree, the terps are gone too fast. Prolly getting terp hits at low temps but the GH goes to 460°F so you keep getting thc awhile. I know of no way to measure the actual efficiency of the delivery system. Staying mostly saturated and using less per month is a practical measure.

Everyone uses weed a little differently. Have been vaping 12 years and using a grasshopper 5 1/2. It provides 10-11 good hits per 1/4 teaspoon of 22-27% thc. The first few taste the best but the later hits are also plenty strong. I also hit the 1-hitter out in the garage a few time a day (I'm...

I use a relatively small amount throughout the day but, IMO, weed is more impactful the less one indulges. Those that use it less frequently probably get more stoned when they do. The emphasis used to on getting "stoned again" which implies some amount of sobering up. :myday::leaf:

First tried weed >50 years ago. Loved it immediately. Couldn't always indulge over the years but now retired and "bad ass" weed is everywhere. Have used the portable Grasshopper IO herb vaporizer since 2016, finding it to be efficient and clandestine, practically perfect for my situation. Have...

I haven't experienced combustion with the IO in 8 1/2 months (I said 51/2 months in an earlier post). I finish each load with 3-4 hits on full power, 460° seems ideal as far as I can tell. My hits are pretty slow, usually 15 seconds or more, so it gets pretty hot. You mentioned a bubbler...

This sounds like the same problem I experienced with my IO last November. When I first reported that it was "increasingly difficult to turn", they told me to "push down on it while turning". I didn't see any change and it broke a day later, they aren't designed for high torque. HL offered to...

With respect to the threads, I know that small amounts of fresh bud tend to get ground into the threads after putting in a full load. Fresh bud resin isn't as sticky as the brown resin that collects in the tip but it is sticky and it doesn't take much to interfere with interference-style...

Everyone has probably experienced stickiness in the threads. I learned to avoid screwing on the tip to the point where is gets sticky (almost always an issue between cleanings). If you get it tight when hot it can be very tight after cooling down. I accidentally unscrewed the internal service...
