    @Ronp I had the same problem you have with the heater. I was able to get mine to stay in the highest position possible by bending the wires a little bit. I agree, it shouldn't be like that. This issue should be taken care of before it leaves the factory. That's just simple quality control...

    Herb Grinders

    Don't worry about it. I think the dude who runs EZVAPES (Jarod?) sometimes waits to order stock until after he knows how much he'll need, then tells everyone with a pending order that he just sold the last item and is waiting for new stock. It's a little annoying to me, but he seems like a good...

    Aromed 4.0

    I think the reason why it never stops blinking after you've used it for a while is because there is plenty of hot thermal mass after it's been on for a while. I can't really comment on draw speed right now because I haven't been able to use my Aromed for about a month, due to broken herb holders.

    If you ever break a heater cover cleanly near the bend, consider trying this: Tips: Cover the heater with the broken end down. Invert the wand screen. Use a second bowl-shaped screen so you can make a kinda UFO-shaped weed sandwich.

    My matte SCS is like that. I don't think I've ever used grinder grease on it, but it's so smooth. Yesterday I noticed the male edge is pretty well gunked up, but it's just as smooth as ever. I just wish it had a fine screen like the mini. The grip of the matte SCS is also very nice. It's smooth...

    E-nano is a log vape, right? Underdog is next up for me. I expected to have already bought one early this year, but the great deal on factory second SSVs was too good to refuse. No regrets, but I hope to be able to afford an Underdog eventually/soon.

    Silver Surfer Vaporizer

    I have an Air. Of my three vapes, it's the only one with parts I haven't broken while using or maintaining. But it's kinda too reliable and predictable for me to enjoy on a regular basis. It has very little potential for customization. It doesn't sit firmly on a desktop, have any mass, or...

    Silver Surfer Vaporizer

    I've actually been there! I got the clam pie because of TV, but I liked my friend's pepperoni pizza much better.

    @shredder I didn't mean to imply that I shake violently like Michael J. Fox. I don't, though I'm not far from that sometimes and I think mentioning him may kinda give readers a better idea of how hard it is for some people to put a piece of glass in place without accidentally hitting another...

    Silver Surfer Vaporizer

    I cut off my first new whip; only about 12". Even though I am now aware that 12" is not long enough to be very useful, it does make it easier for me to use the SSV because I no longer have to focus on two different things at the same time (the wand and the whip). Instead I can focus exclusively...

    Silver Surfer Vaporizer

    I was thinking earlier today about how it is probably easier for disabled (klutzy) people like myself to use bag vapes than tabletop direct draw vapes, and how some people probably have to use bag vapes instead of direct draw. That'll probably be me before long, but I'd rather not have to use...

    Silver Surfer Vaporizer

    I don't know how I lost you. It's this simple: If you're a gimp, the SSV is hard to use without breaking something or always worrying that you're about to break something. I had to buy a new HC after owning my SSV for only four days. I will almost certainly break the replacement, too. Partly...

    Silver Surfer Vaporizer

    I like the SSV so far, but I've determined that I could not recommend it to anyone with poor manual coordination, diminished feeling in hands, or bad depth perception. You don't necessarily think about these things until after you have a chance to familiarize yourself with a new product, but...

    Herb Grinders

    I just did a little reading about screen terminology and found that five or six years ago on some other boards, people expressed a preference for 70 and 93 micron screens on kief boxes. Based on recent experience, I have to assume the old (fine-screened) SCShredders have either 93- or 70-micron...

    Silver Surfer Vaporizer

    I may have damaged it. I don't remember doing anything that could have damaged it, but a fairly small crack appeared near the top of the vertical part. I wondered if maybe it was caused by contact with the heater, but I have no idea if that could cause any damage. Doesn't seem likely. Then when...

    Silver Surfer Vaporizer

    My new SSV's heater cover broke Saturday morning, so I had to use my Aromed. The next morning (yesterday) a crack in my Aromed herb holder became a break. I had already ordered a replacement herb holder like two weeks ago but received a message from Vapor Nation informing me that I won't receive...

    Aromed 4.0

    Now that I have owned another desktop vape (SSV) for several days and have something to compare with my Aromed, here are some thoughts about how the two vapes compare to each other. Keep in mind, I haven't had much time to really explore the SSV yet. Which means I will probably find ways to...

    I was interested in knowing the temperature of the heater, not the temperature of the air.

    Silver Surfer Vaporizer

    This is interesting, though I bet someone else tried it long before me: After realizing I could measure the temperature of my SSV's heater, I fetched my IR laser thermometer. The first interesting observation is that I got a reading of well over 900°F while holding the thermometer about 2" from...

    Silver Surfer Vaporizer

    I was worried that I wouldn't like the SSV mouthpiece, but I realized last night while using it that I have no reason to dislike it. I may even like it better than my simple Aromed mouthpiece (small cylinder). I was also worried about the power cord and knob placement being awkward for me, but...
