I think the idea is that the extra prongs on the optimizer will distribute heat better. Considering that everyone here has taken to calling it the de-optimizer, I think it's fairly safe to say that it doesn't work out. I'm guessing the heating element isn't strong enough to heat up both the bowl...

Wrong, I already did it. Canadian Thanksgiving was a month ago. TPBM has never been to Canada.

Hey flyfishwino. Hope I can help with your questions. 1. Personally I'd recommend it. Everybody I talk to seems to advocate for grinding your herb pretty fine. However since the other piece of advice with vapes is generally to use pretty dry stuff, I guess your fingers could make do by...

I must respectfully disagree. Last night, by inhaling as slowly as possible and keeping it going for a good 15-20 seconds, I managed to pull some ridiculous clouds out of mine. I'd like to see how they stack up directly with what somebody else can pull out of a bigger vape.

Damn this thread makes me jealous. Can't wait to live in Cali... Right now I've got on an eighth of Cloud-9. Just polished off a bit of Orange Kush too. Hoping something interesting pops up this week.

I have an Iolite. It works great but definitely takes some practice and can be frustrating if you don't take the time to learn all the tricks. Most of the things people seem to complain about have a fix if you look hard enough. For example, I was having some trouble getting it to ignite until I...

Just started vaping recently, and currently saving it all up with the intention of adding it to my next batch of budder, but maybe I'll try a bowl or two.

Amen.

That's one thing I don't really know about the Iolite (and don't recall reading anywhere in the thread). When the unit cycles through a couple times to run off the extra butane in the system after you shut it off, does that butane continue to heat the bowl? If so then you've got to chill for...

Seems like the handful of people who have bad experiences with the I-olite get very vocal about it. The manufacturer's could probably go a long way to repairing their public image if they sorted out the kinks in their customer service chain and tried to reach out to these people. For what it's...

No kidding. My head shop had a few in today so I finally got to check it out in person. This thing does not resemble a water bottle like some have claimed. It looks like a freaking vibrator. Especially with the temperature up and down buttons. I'm interested to find out how they sell over...

Yup, I still wouldn't classify these as signs of a physical dependence, but mental addiction manifesting in physical symptoms. Physically addictive substances create physical symptoms of withdrawal in the majority of people who stop using them. Their bodies, not their minds, have become...

Got home after a library work-marathon last night, my I-olite had a full bowl packed, and I fired it up for a nice pre-bed blaze. Then I change my mind while it's heating up and decide I only want a hit or two before I pass out. I take them, and flick it off and go to bed. So here's what I'm...

4 term papers and a presentation this week, damn right I need a day off... or a month. Light at the end of the tunnel though, 4 day vacation at the beginning of December. TPBM has 99 problems but a vape ain't one.

Not right now per se, but you made me realize I've never had chinese while high before. Must experiment this weekend. TPBM wants to try a strain he's never had before.

Damn straight. Although last time I did this I had about a gram saved up and then my roommate drunkenly decided to stick the whole thing in the bong one night while I was away. So sad. TPBM forgot to do something important.

I definitely get what you're saying about analyzing a vape based on function over getting high. I guess the extent to which some reviewers seem to disconnect the two just threw me off a little bit.

Interesting. Do you find this happens when you use it for a really extended period of time? The most I've ever used it for is about 3 successive bowl-fulls. It gets hot, but I can't imagine it getting to the point where the plastic melted...

You mean googling? I'm certainly looking for ways to avoid writing my paper. And dreaming of going home to vape a few. TPBM wants to try vaping in the shower.

So we've got about fifty different ideas about how to improve efficiency. Personally I just try to hold my hits in as long as I can, although sometimes it's a lot of fun to see that big-ass vapor cloud come flying out ;)
