Anyone with experience or opinion comparing VXL's new Vapexchiller vs the SSV Saturn Vapor Tamer?

Just sticking my nose in for a minute . . . :2c: By far most electronics manufacturers use local distributors for international fulfillment, if the company does not have its own facility in that country/region. Some advantages have already been discussed, such as shipping in bulk. However...

Temp indicators on vapes (with possibly a few exceptions) are at best an approximation of the actual heat penetrating the herb, let alone performance. Dryness, grind, load, proximity to heat source, location of heat sensor, air circulation (or lack thereof), etc. all are contributing factors...

Few pages back I posted about noticing vapor/hot air escaping from the bottom of the bamboo when using the EVO inverted. Did some more testing and I think I now know why. This will not come as news to most here I'm sure, but I'd thought I'd pass it along fwiw . . . After taking a hit, there...

I didn't think to mention that before cleaning per above, good to check that the bamboo is sound. Just plug the bottom tightly with a finger and try to take a draw. If air comes through even though the bottom is fully sealed off, there is probably a crack. I've cleaned mine only twice (and I...

With a couple small corks purchased at the local ACE, I plug the bottom of the bamboo and then with a funnel very carefully pour 91% ISO into the top joint to fill the bamboo up to the base of the joint. I cork the top, shake gently, and let sit overnight. (While you can clean the lower...

A few thoughts . . . @masterllama7 & @SamuraiSam - fwiw I use both a large Space Case grinder and the small Santa Cruz Shredder. The Space Case delivers a finer grind, but the SCS a more fluffy result. I adjust the load size depending on the quality/condition of the flowers. Sometimes a...

I've not heard of melt-down problems (aside from International). These seem to be corner cases; if it were even remotely common (in N. American units) we would be seeing a helluva lot of posts about it here. Pure speculation, but I've been wondering for some time with the international units...

Just checkin' in, folks. Been recovering from major surgery, 6 months in another 6 to go. My EVO has been a life-saver, helping w/pain and med side-effects and keeping my sanity. My wife is probably more grateful for it than I am, given she's the one who has to put up with me. :ko: Last...

There is more than one way to do it . . . I use imgur.com. Upload the image file. Clicking on the image will display a list of different type links. Copy the BBCode and paste that code into your post here (on a separate line). That should do it.

There have been quite a few suggestions here over the last few months as users have got the hang of using the nail. I'm not qualified, but @Enchantre has done a lot of testing/posts and seems to have it really, er, nailed down. I suggest a search in this thread on her username to pick up her...

However, both the HydraFoot 2.0 and the CloudBuddy are designed for inverted use. I got an odor just once, and I can't be 100% positive that it wasn't the shield. I iso'd the bamboo and it hasn't reoccurred. I have noticed though that, occasionally with a fresh load, if I leave the EVO...

The hydrafoot (the little one, not 2.0) can do this even with the HydraLine. I wasn't paying attention the other night and lifted the HL only to have a backflow send the water down and through the joint. I like ice, but it does require monitoring and the stand can fool you. I've been using...

Besides the combustion risk already noted, a pump would push the airflow (like the herbalaire does) while oxygen from a tank just flows out without any force and so you would have to hit the piece as usual. Doesn't this vary from one piece to the next? I use the HydraLine, and maybe it's the...

I (we) don't know what your throat issue was/is, and I'm highly doubtful anyone here is qualified to offer a medical assessment anyway. I'm certainly not. Since you are seeing your ENT and can discuss this with him, that's where to look for answers to some of your questions. E.g., re your...

@LongIslandmom, so very glad to hear that you are clear. :clap: I know how terrifying an experience this can be, and the stress of it all can leave one in shambles. But now you are healing, let time and patience be your friends. And I think you'll do better with your questions in this thread...

Today tried a different method of ISO cleaning my EVO's bamboo. :science: Got a couple corks at the hardware store that fit into the joint and the bottom intake port. Corked the bottom, used a small plastic funnel to very slowly fill the bamboo with ISO to just above the ridge of the joint...

I can't really add much more that hasn't already been posted. The piece posted just above by @SD_haze is a good example, with the row of fine slits looks like it delivers a lot of small bubbles. And as @olivianewtonjohn posted, in the cheap-high-quality-bubbler thread there are many examples...

I hope you aren't expecting too much from filtration. Most pieces holding a moderate amount of water and a perc with a sufficient number of balanced well-cut slits is going to be fairly similar as far as filtration and moisturizing. You can step up from this level e.g. to the Mobius Ion, but...

Damn, I only later realized that remark would probably get me in trouble. :doh: This info is from the beta phase, I can't vouch for it's current accuracy nor that of my :myday: memory. So with those caveats . . . a limitation in the glass manufacturing process is that it cannot be perfectly...
