So if you knew before hand it was a meaningless measure why did you waste my time answering it? And then why do you basically ask the same question all over again (the answer would be that same unrealistic trench number divided by a nearly as useless 'how many trenches per gram', right?)? Even...

I agree, ESV has delivered performance nobody else has been able to. Pretty cool, alright. I disagree it's safe to say 'the included charger is garbage'. Garbage is useless, even a liability. The supplied charger just slow (as has been discussed), it's not garbage or useless. Hard to tell...

Beats me, I never tried it. Besides it's not a realistic measure IMO. 'How many drinks in a bottle of whiskey?'. You and I can easily have a much different answer? Sort of like 'how many sessions per gram?'. Back of the envelope calculations 'say' about 9 times what a glyph battery, enough...

Beats me what you might have seen....or heard. I have built several 12VDC battery packs. First for the PD, then adapted a bit for running the MF PA in the garden (where it works just fine.....), finally to it's current role with Solo. Basically the same, three 18650s in series with the right...

Naw, you need that five for a lighter........ OF

We're looking for a relative reading, right? The OP said: "Straight off the bat - I am not interested in accurate digital heating/whatever. I am purely after a reliable number I can refer to to ensure I am at the same temp as any other sesh - the actual number is irrelevant." So not being...

A handy way to get more resolution ('accuracy') is to measure say ten loads and divide the total. For instance, weigh your stash container, load the VM several times (say 10?) dumping the load temporarily into something else. Then weigh the container and divide by the number of loads. Grind...

While I usually grind, when I use intact buds I 'push it sideways' to hold it if needed. Crushing it blocks airflow more, but wedging it in doesn't. And you should be holding the stem upright and inverting the Air to load anyway so gravity can't get ya. Many of us take the first hit or two...

Well put. To make it fair they use faster electrons to transmit the data to the West, except when they cross the date line, of course. Then they switch to future waves......... It was much easier to be timely before Al Gore invented the internet. In a fun bit of trivia here in the US time...

I like it. From a scientific POV I think the majority of the heat 'gets out' (of the load area) by chemistry/physics, at least we hope it does. That is the heat (in calories) is 'consumed' converting the good stuff to vapor so we can finally enjoy it. Making vapor consumes heat energy, it...

Yes, that's how the heat gets into the load area, but GETTING OUT is straight conduction, right? That's the only time the insulation counts, it's not involved at all in the heat flow until after the heat gets to the load, how it gets to the load is immaterial. The sun at the beach makes you...

Not really. There's no such thing as "repelling the heat" in conduction. Insulation SLOWS the heat transfer, same as putting on a coat can't keep you from freezing to death in a snow emergency but can delay it. Heat will still stubbornly flow from hot to cold like Thermodynamics (First Law)...

Sorry, I think I'll pass on this one. That's not what the spacers are designed for and it strikes me as a first rate way to glue the lower spacer into the oven. Not to mention maybe leaking concentrate into the area below the oven and above the grill where it can't be cleaned but will smell...

I don't believe you can. As I understand it the earliest versions need a firmware upgrade first. Instead, I'd suggest you look for the latest app. My unit didn't show battery level correctly until I found a later app on the web. I also had a problem with my Windows Tablet, which I got later...

Two suggestions. First off, as has been said 'do it hot'. Torch heating is one way, I do it right after a session while the stem is already warm, but in any case hotter makes it softer. Secondly, don't punch it out from behind, it's generally a disaster as you point out. Instead I use a...

Agreed, washing the wood will remove a lot, perhaps most, of the contamination. But that which it doesn't remove it drives deeper into the wood. Meaning that while it will smell less afterwards, it (the smell) will actually linger even longer (at a lower level). Bad karma. And the nature...

Thanks very much for the confirmation. I was afraid of that. Yup, good show this was a backup/loaner buy, I've still got an ESV doing just fine. I suspect I got a used/defective one somehow. I've PM'd the maker for advice. I'm betting I'll be sending it to someone soon. I hope others don't...

OK guys and gals, I spoke too soon. This unit has serious problems after all. Draw is very restricted compared to my original unit. Since it's convection this limits the heat that can be delivered. I now know the reason why the top setting was set 'all the way to full blast', even that...

While another VM is never a bad idea (at least on the face of it), you might be able to avoid the issue more cheaply by buying another center section? The wood is where the absorption is going to happen. You should be able to clean the pan and (plastic) MP?? OF

Me too. That officially make two of us, we can't both be crazy, right? I hope yours arrives in as good order as mine did, thus far it seems just fine for less than half the price. OF
