    Firewood Vaporizer

    I have the Tubo and FW3(very similar, but apparently not quite as powerful or fast as the fw4 to vapor, from what i read on here) This is not an easy comparison and you seem to have homed in on the basic differences already (ie their respective strengths ) but i will see if i can add anything...

    Discontinued Zion vaporizer

    Yeah, i found it seemed to take longer than the Milaana too, but i think that makes sense, since Milaana is 'full on' as soon as you hit the trigger, whereas Zion seems to build heat (and build and build and...). This is offset, though, by being able to hit the trigger early on Zion to let the...

    I love that "Go straight for the Jugular" sales and marketing technique that Rene has going on. Acetone or iso can help, but i have found leaving wood in the sun for a few hours/days as the most effective way of getting rid of combustion smell. This includes leaving wood encased in a tin with...

    Discontinued Zion vaporizer

    Yeah. I tried moving the knob back and forth, and a few different settings, including fully cranked. Up until the point it stopped working, it was going well and the power knob seemed to be working properly, in that I could do low or high heat sessions. In fact, the last session was a high...

    Discontinued Zion vaporizer

    Hey @vapen00b Great suggestions. Unfortunately I tried most of those already. Also, the faint ticking sound tells me that there is some kind of contact happenning. Your suggestions made me look closely at the battery copper though. Mine has a kind of wave or bulge for each batteries so no...

    Discontinued Zion vaporizer

    I am sad to report that my Zion #72 has stopped functioning after about 10 bowls. It now doesn't heat up (tested with 2 different sets of batteries ) It makes a very soft ticking type of sound when the button is pressed. But no heat. I have really enjoyed our short time together. Looks like...

    Discontinued Zion vaporizer

    I have noticed that the unit gets quite hot in that corner near the heater, much hotter than the Mi it seems, and stays hot for a good while. I assume it's the coloured glass absorbing more heat, plus a slightly bigger heater. Maybe wait an hour or so to be sure of cool down before you check it...

    Discontinued Zion vaporizer

    Quite unexpectedly, the Zion train has arrived at my station. Just 9 days days after I replied to the email it arrived halfway around the world... A touch over 2 years since ordering, and so far, well worth the wait. Amber glass :tup:. Fit and finish are very nice. Perfectly rounded...

    @Whissmu ha ha, great response. Yes, i have much to teach you, i'm sure...just as you assuredly have much to teach me. @Tiny88 I like to place the tip of the inner blue flame a couple of mm from the apex of the pan/bowl, so the outer flame is hitting and spreading over the pan. That's a good...

    I don't mean to seem argumentative, but thought i should note that if i heated for that long with any of my torches I would combust or be very close. I know everyone and every torch is different, but i use my torches with the lowest flame i can without it sputtering and find that 4 seconds, a...

    Discontinued The RBT Milaana (unregulated single 18650)

    One of my stems has a similar break and I have still been able to use it. Maybe mine was not as deep, but I was able to seat the screen a little deeper in the stem and it was still airtight when in the Milaana. You could also try to sand down the broken bits to make it usable (and safer). I...

    Butane-Powered Vape for a Newbie

    Not sure if you are completely set on either of the two vapes you mentioned, but have you considered the Vaporgenie? Full manual control. Very similar expererience to smoking a pipe. You can push it for huge clouds once you have the technique down (there is a learning curve, of course, but...

    Garlic recipes??

    You can just bake a whole bulb in with potatoes and/or other veggies when you do a roast. The individual cloves go kinda soft and gooey (depending on length of baking). Yummy. Still has the garlic flavour but without the sharpness, so may not be the best for showing off a distinct taste? Not...

    Discontinued Zion vaporizer

    Whilst i fully endorse any recommendation for a tubo, i am not sure that they are interchangeable. The caveat here is i don't own a Zion (yet) but have had a Milaana since they came out, and i assume are fairly similar vape signature (please chime in those who have both). For me, i find the...

    Discontinued Zion vaporizer

    Yeah, It seems like you have to'show your mettle' to earn a place on this train. Even to just keep a place, you have to prove you really want it. Whilst I would prefer to see a Zion earlier, i also appreciate the transparency. Knowing this, those who prefer can opt out (what a Crappy decision...

    TUBO evic/dual

    Fuck! Every time I try to post in this thread my internet goes to shit. I have tried to post replies to people and just give up in frustration (eventually), so apologies if you have tagged or quoted me and i have failed to respond. For example @sickmanfraud had 'vape envy' as his tubo was in...

    PLENTY Vaporizer

    I am no expert with the Plenty, but have used it quite a few times as my mate has one. What you describe is exactly my experience with the plenty. Even when packed full without the spacer/concentrate pad it does not hit me like other people describe (ie a super hard hitter). It works, but not...

    Herb Grinders

    My SCS 3 piece just took a tumble off a shelf above my head (so above 6 feet) onto a tiled floor. Empty, thankfully. Anyway, once i finally found the lid, which flew off like shrapnel, there was only the slightest indentation on the edge. It didn't even chip off the coating, and it still...

    Help me pick my last vape

    I think if you are coming from smoking, you want a device that can go high temp. I found that anything less than 200c had no effect and I needed to go up to 220-230c on most vapes to get a buzz when I was transitioning from smoking. I don't usually go that high any more (220 maximum now) but...
