    Why have I been grinding my herb? Do you grind or rip?

    Go ahead, look at the bud--I included a photo a few posts back. There is absolutely no sticky in the middle, and it started out as a ridiculously sticky, barely-cured bud. It cooked through by conduction, in four cycles with a Wand. As @invertedisdead notes, that's the key here. Conduction...

    Dynavap VapCap

    There's a huge difference. It's like the difference between a single-flame and a quad torch. You're heating the metal, which, in turn, heats the herb in the oven. That transfer takes time. Think of it like cooking food in your oven. If you put a frozen pot-pie directly under the broiler, you'll...

    Dynavap VapCap

    I've got a new favorite way to consume hash. I was having trouble finding an effective way to vape it. A chunk in the DV doesn't have enough surface area, so even at reclaim-boiling temps I'd only get thin vapor along with my blackened oven. I tried rolling it into a little snake, then pressing...

    Athlete Vaporists?

    I just finished a book I believe will be popular on this thread, "Runner's High--How a Movement of Cannabis-Fueled Athletes is Changing the Science of Sports". It's like a book-length post here, because author Josiah Hesse is a fellow cannabis enthusiast. For a weed journalist and enthusiast...

    Why have I been grinding my herb? Do you grind or rip?

    Even was never the key word for me. I'm seeking words like "bliss", or "euphoria". When I find those, I'm good. If the load is darker on the outside than in the middle, I'm not going to fret. And the load is going to be darker around the edges whether it's ground or not, because it's in contact...

    Dynavap VapCap

    Yeah, I think most of us understand how a Dynavap works. For me, the goal is to make it as seamless as possible, to just drop it into an IH and wait for the click. I don't want spin it, hold it at the perfect angle, put a timer on it, or to have to think much at all about it. I've learned to do...

    Why have I been grinding my herb? Do you grind or rip?

    If that were true you'd have to break apart your Thanksgiving turkey to cook the stuffing in the middle. Heat does transfer through solid objects; it's called conduction. That's why you can stuff a whole nug in your Dynavap oven, and it will cook all the way through, no stirring required. Don't...

    Dynavap VapCap

    You're missing an induction heater. The IHs I've used--Fluxer and Ispire--heat the load right up to the edge of combustion with a regular cap. The ABV is always full-roast dark. With a low temp cap, I get more of a medium roast, with the option to go a couple of second past the click for total...

    Dynavap VapCap

    It's a code. They sent it in an email to people signed up for their newsletter. If you're not signed up, you should, and you should check the promotions section of your email (if you use gmail), because that's probably where their messages will go. The email says it's an exclusive offer for...

    Firefly 1, 2, 2+

    Where did he get that fantasy description of how a Fury works? "Convection air technology shoots up air--it pushes air up, hot air. The walls do not heat up." I don't own a Fury, but I'm pretty sure the oven does heat up. I'm just as sure (which is not entirely, but mostly) it doesn't "shoot...

    Why have I been grinding my herb? Do you grind or rip?

    After the recent harvest I've got a few bags of little popcorn nugs sitting close at hand. I kept them to make bubble hash, but I started popping them into the Dynavap a couple of weeks ago, and I haven't used a grinder since. It extends the flavor through an extra cycle or two. I've been...

    Apartment lease says no smoking. What’s the best dry herb vaporizer to get for two people?

    It still does--you just have to use the right vent. Open the drain on the sink in the bathroom, and you'll hear the roar of a 700 mph venturi effect as the low pressure outside tries to pull the interior of the plane through the drain hole. It will remove all evidence.

    The Mighty/Mighty+ by Storz & Bickel

    Sure, but materials with high hardness are usually also very brittle, and they can be damaged by materials with lower hardness. A diamond is harder than a hammer, but it's pretty obvious which will win a smashing contest. If the ceramic coating on the oven is very thin, it could be damaged if...

    The Mighty/Mighty+ by Storz & Bickel

    The first time I applied for a return authorization they said they could repair it for $120. The outer shell of the Mighty is two halves, like a clam. I imagine they were proposing replacing one half of the shell. The problem you describe, with pieces continuing to break off, was exactly what I...

    Dynavap VapCap

    This answers both your questions--it's my favorite, and it's got the look of wood. Not only that, the wood portion is ti-lined for a pure vape path and easy cleaning. Mine is lignum, but he offers a variety of wood choices. I recommend the whole package, with the Stinger and ti tip...

    The Mighty/Mighty+ by Storz & Bickel

    Woohoo! About a year ago, a piece broke off of the lip above the oven on my Mighty, where the cooling unit attaches. I contacted S&B, but the unit was a couple of months outside warranty, and they wanted $120 to fix it. Since it still worked I figured I'd just keep using it until the damage...

    Ispire Wand, enail&vaporizer

    There were only two things that bugged me about the Wand. First, mine has the same problem as @TommyDee's, that the dap cap doesn't snap into place. That was annoying when I was experimenting with the banger, but I don't buy concentrates often, and I use a Dynavap when I do, so it's not really...

    Papers and articles comparing smoking flower versus vaping raw flower (no concentrates)

    That Volcano study @invertedisdead references really convinced me years ago. I'm keeping @kel's warning about confirmation bias in mind, but this seems pretty straightforward regardless of bias: "Vaporizers decarboxylate cannabinoid acids at about 200°C and release neutral, volatile...

    Best dry herb vaporiser for mouth to lung vaping? Ideally with an intake hole that can be covered?

    You won't be unhappy with the Mighty. It puts out enough vape to work MTL, though it really shines on long, direct pulls, and it's an excellent portable session vape. Still, mine has been gathering dust since I picked up a Simrell Vortex and a Fluxer IH. I'm also a former joint smoker, and I...
