    has anyone vaped Tulsi (Holy Basil)

    Not sure if it was my post that left the impression of "taking exception" but if it was, then I apologize. I meant kinda the opposite. :) I don't have that cultural base, and will defer to those do. So, I did both a tea and vaped the leaf. I am have no experience with Tulsi, but wanted to...

    has anyone vaped Tulsi (Holy Basil)

    Uh... yeah... your first paragraph unduly influences anything that follows after that. :) :) :) But allow me to suggest that the first thing I encounter is the low-boiling terps. Complex flavors. A sweet flavor reminiscent of green tea but a hint of something... perhaps peppermint? As...

    The Herbalizer

    For the record, the Herbalizer guys (& the Herbie itself!) in conjunction with some private offline conversations with @Slightly Medicated have got me very interested in the *other* 99% of the herbs out there. This device seems perfect for 100% of them. ;)

    The units are not open for general sales at this point. They are still catching up with pre-sales. Be patient and they will be available for the general public soon. Knowingly jumping the line in front of people that have been legitimately waiting a long time is kinda a dick-move. Don't care...

    The Herbalizer

    Never ceases to amaze me when people refuse to allow a lack of real, direct, and specific knowledge to impede the ability to formulate conclusions on said subject. I've used the Herbie. Three (or was it 4?) of them in fact. And not only for what people might normally use here, but I wanted to...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    Alright, been off the grid for about a week-ish. Only catching up now. It was designed so one could share. Not odd in the least. It is easy to make a large bowl smaller (reducer). It is nigh on impossible to make a small bowl larger. I've updated the page. But pulling out the digital...

    Anyone else given this a try yet? Thoughts? Temps? Can we have that report? :)

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    I managed to push my screen-stem down accidentally. Was giant pain to get it back out, and the bottom was locked in place so I couldn't swivel it open. Another user intentionally pushed his screen down, and then broke it trying to open it. I realize pushing it down would make a better...

    I failed to mention above that I tired cotton also, but quickly stopped as it was becoming discolored. As discussed previously, the burning temp for cotton is way high (and this is pure cotton), so it isn't the cotton, but rather I presumed it was collecting stuff I might otherwise want inside...

    I know @OF has replied, but wanted to throw :2c: in. Ever since getting the glass flowers, that what I've been using. I do usually go for smaller loads, so I probably have more mass/displacement in glass flower than real (grind) flower. :) But it is no issue to quickly pick out the flower from...

    Mine did not exhibit the mystery vapor and I have one of the very early ones. There was a giant "AH HA!" moment when I decided to run another test with the oil can (plus silicone lid) and saw the issue clear as day. It matched video others posted. In comparison, it is really hard to tell from...

    No. But it seems you've found the support group. :rofl: Glad other people are getting the v1.2 units. You should really enjoy them. (Plus try out OF's glass flower idea if bowl is too big for your tastes)

    The Herbalizer

    You are right that they last. I tried to say that, but add these bulbs are more than "off the shelf lamp" bulbs. :) My point was to make clear it wasn't a simple replacement (let alone getting into the damn thing). And any day I get a "smack" from you , I'll put that in the "good day"...

    IIRC, the bulb didn't look a thing like a halogen lamp bulb. That being said the basic technology is there, but the Herbie's bulb was a more industrial bulb. (Probably better life and specs than a lamp bulb). Which of course means one can't just buy a lamp bulb if you break the herbie's bulb.

    The Herbalizer

    From what Josh was saying, it isn't really user changeable, but then he mentioned some ungodly MTBF that, for the most part means the majority of users won't have to worry about it. Wish I could remember the actual number of expected hours he said, but it was enough I was no longer concerned...

    How about Flash? Have a flash-blocker in play?

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    Just for the record (and for a lot of the new people to this thread) there is a DIFFERENT THREAD for discussing things like shipping and ordering the Ascent. ------- So, I've now had a few days to try what OF did with the glass-flowers. I am very impressed. Before I was initially using the...

    Davinci by Karma

    The freezer (& refrigerator) remove ambient moisture. You are essentially drying stuff out. Nope. Temp is temp. Now... it might require more ENERGY to reach that desired point, but if you have stripped all of the moisture out, there is not a lot of thermal retention in your product. I'd...

    The holes in the glass screen are pretty small. How fine is your grind? Only problem I have had was when I occasionally go back to stir stuff, that breaks stuff down more and some of that might get through. I do pack pretty hard (oil can make a good press), and lately I've kept glass on top...

    Yup. Read that a long time ago. Problem is "effect" is necessarily subjective. (Physiology is not a fixed constant.) On the other hand, volatile molecules will boil at a finite range -- the only variation is NOT in the subject/observer but in relation to the context of the specific molecules...
