The only thing I ever noticed with the anvil AVB wise was a very slight difference in colour from the top of the bowl to the bottom. The bottom would always be a little darker on both regular and XL bowls. John actually wrote about this gradient in the early days after noticing it himself. I...
I agree that a vapman book would be awesome, especially if it includes information or photos from back in the early days that aren’t already known. I love going back on this thread and reading old posts from Rene and also ones from the new owners. The book could detail both “eras” of vapman and...
“If you’re listening we need draw. Any draw will do. Weed, hash, shit holiday draw”
People just do nothing for those who don’t get the reference. Very funny show!
Generally speaking you’ll know if a wood doesn’t agree with you pretty early on, you’ll get a reaction. If you haven’t had one yet I’d say you’re probably fine.
Additionally, the wood tends to “sweat out” a lot of the irritant stuff with repeated heat cycles. I had a walnut stem which gave off...
I think Rene makes these exotic wood ones as more of an art piece than something to vape with. Most people seem to have the exotics for show and then vape with something more suitable like walnut or pear.
My rule of thumb has always been to only vape with wood from fruit trees and it’s yet to...
Agree with this. There’s nothing wrong with the newer ones, and quite a lot “better” in fact. For a lot of people the newer ones are a better choice purely for that easy clean vapour path, let alone the other additions.
I simply find that the Swiss have a certain charm and character to them...
Got in contact with Rene, I think I’ll be rejoining the vapman family before long!
Swiss walnut vapman availability confirmed and now in the process of saving a few weeks wage for it :)
It’s really cheap going direct to Rene as well, I had no idea you could do that. It’s like half the price...
I think it’s the airflow as much as the temp which decides how dark the roast is. If I pack a light bowl and a tight bowl and both run at 220c the tight bowl will be darker every time. The vapour is also noticeably hotter
If I detect a bit of airflow restriction and it’s not too significant to...
Super coarse grind or bits of nugs definitely helps keep things easier on the throat and chest. You want to keep that airflow as open as you can. I’d also try to mix up your use with another device or some glassware as well. The S3 is incredibly testing on the throat if you’re only doing native...
Does anyone know where I’d source an OG Swiss walnut?
Not interested in the newer ones. Nothing against them, just the Swiss has a certain charm to it :)
The tinymight topping the chart is no surprise, it’s such a great enthusiast vape. Not for me after owning one but I’ve always understood the hype
The ratio of portables to desktops is hardly a surprise either
What is surprising is the next 5 being conduction heavy devices. Would not have...
Absolutely love the short wooden stem! Yeah she can get a bit hot if you go for heavy hits but it’s great for flavour and being a WPA.
Think I’m going to pick up another fusion with the long wooden stem, my interest in the tornado has cooled off after thinking about the financial outlay...
I’ve had all three of those too!
If you threw in an induction heater for conditions like wind then you’ve got a trio that can handle pretty much any use case
SB for big on demand hits, vapman for a slower sort of session, and then DV with IH for a bit of both that also handles adverse...
Dani Fusion at number one - does really well with citrusy and piney strains in particular. As others have said it’ll also hit hard with small amounts. Nice to have small, quick bowls and not need to commit to dragging it out at low temp to get good flavour
Solo 3 low temp at number two - tasty...
Nice to see the Solo 3 getting some love in here.
For those who are hearing all the praises from loving owners but are hesitant after using the older devices - this one is faster, more powerful, more versatile and hits HARD if you need it to. Outside of general looks and the glass stem system...
Funny how this has changed for me, I’m more of a duo than a trinity sort of guy though.
