    Vaporbrothers 2.5

    That's exactly how i use my 10mm top, with the glass straw. It does make me cross-eyed when i look to center my dab, so i now prefer the whip for direct hits and the 14mm dome has superior flow-thru when you start getting involved with adapters. The straight adapters have a tapered whip...

    I'm really liking the 14mm ground glass dome>straight 14mm gg male whip adaptor>whip>45degree 14mm female gg whip adaptor>Dave Park bubbler. It seems to offer the best combination of free flow, unobstructed sight and convenient assembly. Pop that last adaptor off and slip on a mouthpiece and...

    Ok, i've watched the vid - is the problem a failure to shut off? Are you fully rotating the switch to the off position, that would be my question. There is some spring assisted resistance you need to overcome before it truly clicks into off mode. On my unit the resistance kicks in around 6am on...

    Jeez, Red - you've got the Rolls Royce of e-nail's and a hyundai for dabbers! I recommend you re-check my recommendation… The micro ball tip works really well with oils that want to climb. How often you need to clean the plate is a function of dab size, purity and frequency. I like to remove...

    Congratulations Red, that showed up quick! I started like you with the simple whip and a glass nipple for the end, but what works better is to order one (or both) of the optional domes that come with female ground glass fittings. I recently added the 14mm to my collection and find the increased...

    I wouldn't worry so much about efficiency or reclaim as there is much of the former and little of the latter. You can get an excellent hit at 1-2 centigrams and anything more than 4-5 centigrams will leave a residue that will fume on for a bit. My bubbler needs cleaning only half as often as...

    Yes, the whip will whip for sure - but it's a good whipping… I'm a fan of the whip myself because it's just so clean and efficient, but it is also the most potent method you can do with the VB and leaves you with little recourse if you bounce off the inurement ceiling! I like to reserve that...

    Truer words are seldom spoken. I've had the pleasure of sampling most methods of BHO vaporization and nothing compares to the taste, efficiency and overall abilities of the VB. There is no comfortable going back, once you've been initiated. The ceramic does not radiate infrared like a metal...

    Congratulations Red, you're in for a lot of fun! Make sure you've got your connections plotted out in advance, you might have to make accommodations to hook up your glass pieces. You will also probably enjoy yourself into incapacitation, so be sure to allow enough time for recovery...

    Pangea, i believe we have moved beyond the leidenfrost effect with the VB2.5, as that consideration was more a by-product of the higher heat capacity and greater conduction of metal nails. Silicon Nitride is prized in the orthopedic implant industry for it's incredible micro-texture and wettable...

    next generation e-nails?

    Very interesting, what do you have to say about the NIOSH limitations on respiratory exposure to SiC. I find it notable that there are no such limitations on Silicon Nitride, perhaps that would be the healthier option - unless of course your wont is white-hot nails and welding goggles...

    Really, any temp setting works, you'll just learn to adapt with experience. A few pointers and tips for the new owners… Get used to the huge ceramic dish and heater and how it's so temperature stable - you don't need to rush your dabs like before. I like to draw the first tendrils of vapor onto...

    Let's see, it's past midnight of a very long day, but off the top of my head… 1. Doesn't make the living room look like a crack den. 2. Doesn't add metal fumes to the air stream. 2. Won't burn the house down when the cat tips it over. 3. Won't brand the guest who passes out after a dab. 4...

    Hmm, guess i should mention that i'm the mystery third VB2.5 tester, courtesy of a great friend and the good folk over at VaporBrothers. I'll surely have lots to say now that it's gone public, but since it's still sunday morning i'm just going to lean back and welcome a new dawn...

    I've noticed that carb-capping the top opening can allow you to drop the temperature setting substantially, in my case all the way from high to low. The flavors just seem to blossom at the lower settings!

    Silicone Carbide/Titanium hybrid nails

    I'm really liking the thermodynamics of this material. It doesn't seem to transfer heat quite as rapidly as the titanium, so you get a finer particle size in the vapor that is less harsh and more intoxicating. This tends to lengthen the hit, which means you can usually load a smaller dab for the...

    Silicone Carbide/Titanium hybrid nails

    taste's great, way better than ti and it seems to produce a finer more voluminous cloud that is less irritating to the throat and lungs. i think this is going to be the deluxe vaporizing element going forward...

    Does oxide dust travel through water?

    I've read on Instagram that the titanium oxides can take more oxide from the water and become even more toxic. On Reddit they say this may be one of the reasons for spontaneous human combustion, people accumulating excess oxides. I don't use water any more for that very reason.
