VHB Slide

Thanks for all the feedback guys. Maybe I'll try 5 when I get the new glass injector but for now I know level 5 risks combustion with my current setup and the basket screen/adapter. That's what I'm seeing too although at level 4 I felt it could be a bit darker for my liking. Trying 4.5 now. I...

Just picked up the glass screen injector from VGoodiez and it should arrive this week. Was using a self-made (terrible) basket screen in an 18/14mm adapter and got good results attached to my j-hook but getting the screen in place was a huge pain and still was a bit ragged/lumpy. It'll be nice...

This has been my experience with portable ball vapes, also using the Stunner as a reference. I would say the reasons to clean there might be: 1) Not enough tamping or holding the vape with the tip down could lead to flower bits getting up there. 2) Cigar puffing might cause slight back...

Ok. I don't temp step at all though. I tried coarse grind at 330F session mode and just kept it there. I discovered that the bowl just seems to get hotter and hotter, but in a nice way. Seems to preserve taste for longer. Maybe the convective effects on the bowl itself are cumulative after a...

I suggest trying a bowl at a low temp. I used to vape around 370-390F with the AVLP (coarse grind) but then I tried session mode at around 330F and it was much tastier. Prolonged the session and still fully extracted, but increased the number of tasty draws. Most portables don't report...

I discovered the exact same thing. I used to vape medium ground flower at 370F (session mode always) and then one day I tried little finger ground nuggs at the same temp and it was much tastier. At first I thought it could be the grinding that was causing the flavor loss but what I found was...

I completely agree with the "less is more" philosophy. I'm hovering around 0.5g-0.7g/day and want to get that a bit lower. You mentioned stretching is better while high and I wholeheartedly agree. I love to vape right after exercise and get a sort of "double high" from the post-workout and the...

There's a topic about it on the 420Eng Youtube channel

Have you tried the Stunner? Portable ball vape with zirconia (swappable, ruby and SiC also) beads that's already available. I have one, they're great. I would also suggest trying the Stunner if you haven't already. I'm sure I'll get a Tempest even though I own something similar. Seems like...

I don't have the most experience with the CL yet but I know the manual recommends 15min to thermal equilibrium from a cold start. I would guess that once warm, changing the temp up or down probably requires less time for stabilization. Maybe 5 min or so?

Just had my first hits with the CL and my new glass - a screened 14mm/18mm adapter acting as an injector bowl on my simple J-hook. Wow. Just crazy good. As luck would have it, I had forgotten to raise my level from the 3.5 I had it at to account for a greater distance to the flower, and also a...

I think you maybe assumed I was worried about the stem connection being loose, causing the glass stem fall out of a TM2 but that's not the case. I just meant glass is fragile and can be chipped or cracked easily by bumping into something hard or even a light fall at the wrong angle. Not a...

It is annoying that the AVLP mouthpiece can come off in your pocket. I just remove it if I think it's somewhere it could come loose. The unit works well without it as well if you don't care to carry it. Most of the time it's in a hard case so I don't have issues with it myself. As for the...

I own (and like) the AVLP. Not to say the TM2 isn't great, I'm sure it is but I couldn't justify the price difference between the two and from what I've read they are very similar. I would recommend the new dosing capsules to keep the AVLP clean as this is its weakest point for most. Although...

Thanks for the advice!

I'm game but need some advice since I don't own any glass beyond j-hooks. I have a simple 7" glass 18mm j-hook with a 90 deg bend, no feet. What do you recommend? Wouldn't such a thing need to be tiny for my size hook?

So people do put water in hooks, hehe ok . I was thinking about trying that for cooling but now I'm wondering if that added humidity would be good. Maybe cool dry vapor can still be hard on the throat just from the lack of humidity.

So... I've been hitting the CL almost exclusively lately and really enjoying the flavor and the experience. I'm pretty new to glass however and only have a basic, non-dimpled 18mm j-hook with no cooling beads to use it with. Even with the CL at 3.5 it could get a little hot on the throat after...

Feels really open to me. I'm just dropping the stem right into the hook and the seal seems good. I use the straw method to load with a very slight tamp using the golf tee.
