I loosely pack the half chamber. There’s no real difference other than temptation. I aim upward. Starting at the middle ring for my first cycle. Aim starting at the gap above the bottom battery for my second heat cycle, while still favouring the middle ring.

My cleaning routine. After melting cordura onto my oven, I soaked it in heavy duty oven cleaner. Cotton swabs to wipe. Then a wire bristled brush on a rotary tool. Regular cleaning is an ethanol soak with cotton swabs and pipe cleaners.

I’d like to throw a log on the convection conduction argument. I had an interrupted cycle the other day. Heated it to click then had to quietly put it down without ever raising it to my mouth. Some time later, I opened the lightly loaded half chamber to crush the now cooked nug for a second...

I’m confused by this mild affront. A copper sleeve that is slipped on by a user. It’s not a factory compression fit? Copper is ductile enough that if a steel cap is mounted on a dowel, it could be squeezed. A proper competitive cap should at least start there.

I started using a small plastic bottle filled with 190 proof to soak my mouthpiece, stems and spirals. It used to be a pocket sized hand sanitizer bottle. I give the oven a wipe. I’ve never cleaned a chamber.

I raise you work pants and reference what I did afterward. Cordura sticks like melted plastic. What works is oven cleaner. Easy Off in the yellow Heavy Duty bottle. Leave it to soak for a while. Wipe off. Swear, repeat.

When was the last you cleaned it? How hot do you usually heat?

5th chamber into the XL mouthpiece. It’s warm. The stem is molten. I’m…5 chambers in. XL mouthpiece is good to me. It’s balanced. Feels good in my mouth and drops into my mason jar bong nicely. I doubled checked that last part about dropping into a downstem. I might be five chambers in, but I...

Getting it over with quick is handy. The XL mouthpiece is a real hummer. Now to figure out a proper stash for it.

I got a notification that my package received a tracking number and a delivery notification today. Both emails one minute apart. Now I have to agonize the rest of my day until I can get home and shove that new XL stem into my mouth.

I can’t even do a darkish roast. Someone described RTL as a roasted peanut taste. Just yuck.

1st time I tried it, I thought it was fun. Momentary panic when the chamber needed a bit to get loose. 2nd time I tried it, I was more aggressive with the preheat. I got RTL taste. And now the chamber is stuck in the oven. There will not be a 3rd time…probably.

That sounds more like a kick start. Cold start-I start inhaling as I heat. It delays the click as I’m drawing cooling air through. When I give it a break to inhale, the click kicks in and I get RTL volume but at a light medium roast.

I just cold started. If you have the means, I highly recommend.

Enjoy your visit in LowDoseVille. I’ll half fill the small chamber and give it a medium heat. There’s plenty left for a second heat. Back to back, #2 is huge. Otherwise #2 is lacklustre but gets the job done.

And refresh.

Sounds like @seki has a hat trick of chambers.

Back to spinning. I’m calling bro science on myself. It seems irrelevant. I just did 3 cycles within 9 minutes. All three with a simple pocket Eagle torch aimed at the same aim point on the oven. Heat up times were about 55 seconds and time between first heat up click to first cool down click...

I’m hauling from sometime between first & second heat up click until the first cool down click. For these time trials.

I’m finding that spinning is not making any appreciable difference in time to heat. Same flame to same aim point on the oven at all times. Times are +/- 3 seconds. 33 second heat up 1:10 time between first heat up click to first cool down click. 2nd cycle follow up promptly after first cycle...
