    Concentrates for Noobs - Q&A

    For the types above there is basically no difference other than texture. Extracts will convert from clear shatter into other types just from being overly stirred or if too much air gets into it while pouring, final outcome is not always what the extractor expected. I used to make fudge and...

    Cart plugging?

    Another point about clearing. Don't fire for the full 10 seconds without airflow, that can cause overheating and gives the whole thing a lasting scorched taste. When clearing use the double tap prewarm that some batteries have or pulse the button for just a couple of seconds on then off while...

    Cart plugging?

    @Nazz1, I've come to the conclusion that it isn't really due to user behavior after trying all the suggestions mentioned above. It doesn't seem to matter how hard or when, or at what temp. Carts leak for me about half of the time, usually just a bit and they can be cleared with a strong...

    I just saw the moon

    That's a beautiful set of photos. I'm thinking you guys are probably also looking forward to The Expanse coming back next week. It's the most realistic fictional space show (apart from the obvious not so realistic part) that's been made.

    Unregulated tube/box with 510 like Imp or Glow ?

    A mosfet is usually used as an isolator between the high powered part of a circuit (heater) and the low powered part (controller circuit board). There isn't really any role for it in an unregulated vape, there is nothing for the mosfet to protect. A button top battery is a cell with a little...

    Unregulated tube/box with 510 like Imp or Glow ?

    The makers of unregulated vapes have to very carefully tune the resistance of the heater to ensure it works well in the 3.7 to 4.0 voltage range of a medium charged battery cell. Coils designed to work with a regulated mod typically have a lower resistance and aren't well suited to unregulated...

    Canada Post maybe lost Pipe's Caldron Induction Heater?

    I saw this in "new" and wondered why the hell this dumb thread would come back to life. You found the one good reason :)

    How do I heat up and control the temperature of a coil with wall power?

    Now wait, which one of is designing a vape? :) Sorry for the poor explanation, PWM is a general term, buck and boost are just types of PWM. Yes that regulator you linked to will work, I prefer the ones with a display of voltage and current\power but you can always add boards for that (cheap)...

    How do I heat up and control the temperature of a coil with wall power?

    Go to VapeLife and read the G43 thread and the "G43 Plug-in Wall Adapter DIY" thread. That design solves many of the same problems you will need to. Keep in mind you will need to support much higher currents for an instant on-demand heater which requires heavier more expensive components...

    How do I heat up and control the temperature of a coil with wall power?

    The easiest thing will be for you to buy a "buck" converter something like this: https://www.amazon.com/DROK-Adjustable-Converter-Transformer-Protective/dp/B07JZ2GQJF/ and 12 V supply like would be used with a laptop. Hook this up to almost any type of coil, ribbon or ceramic cartridge heater...

    My issue with grinders (particles entering vapor path) and how to prevent this (workaround or different type of grinder?)

    I found my grind consistency improved a lot after getting Integra packs to maintain humidity. Material that seems almost moist enough, isn't, and falls apart in the grinder. Just something to consider if you aren't already controlling humidity.

    Discontinued RBT Splinter (All Versions)

    @ab12, I love my Z but it is known to be a bit of a "fiddly" vape that requires some knowledge and procedure to work well. It is really easy to drop and break the stem. It doesn't seem ideal for a person with the physical and cognitive challenges of Parkinson's. A vape with a really simple...

    Looking for the best dry herb portable health concious vape please vape

    I hear you, and will be staring as you drive by in your new candy apple red (insert sports car color of your preference here) TinyMight. @Siebter , good point. I avoided session vapes thinking I wanted the option to do single hits spread apart. It turned out that I don't really need or want...

    Looking for the best dry herb portable health concious vape please vape

    @AK47 AMI , you asked about the "best" vape and that is definitely the advice you are getting. I will say, however, that upgrading from an HerbStick to a TinyMight is like upgrading from a Honda Fit to a Maserati. A Maserati certainly falls into the "best car" category but that doesn't make it...

    Advice on Diy distillate carts, or reliable alternatives. (UK based)

    Hi @Fat Freddy, I'm no expert but have filled my own distillate carts. It came from a legal dispensary here in WA state. Generally distillate is thin enough to use directly in a cart without adding any additional terps. Keep a vial\syringe in your pocket for 10 minutes until it's all the way...

    Does American glass function better than Chinese?

    I always laugh when I see these discussions. My clothes weren't made in the US, neither were my dishes, most of my appliances, my shoes, etc. Given that, why the F#@& would I care where a bong is made. It's just another tool in the house, not a religious icon. The responsibility for buying...

    Anyone try adding thermometers to log vapes?

    @iScrtAznMan , I've been playing around with these thermistors: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/amphenol-advanced-sensors/TG310J34GBNR/5819137 and an Arduino. You could give these a try, a got the super tiny ones which will adjust to changes very rapidly. They are so small I broke...

    Discontinued RBT Splinter (All Versions)

    You are good because the custom Z takes industry standard 19/22 stems. It's the non-custom units which are a challenge because they take a non-standard size 19/19.
