Confession: I have never used a torch on the elev8r :shrug: I would imagine that you’d need a little more time to heat up the balls

VGEZ got balls for sale: https://vgoodiez.com/collections/recently-added/products/3mm-glass-beads-10g-bag-by-vgoodiez

Mine is almost exactly 11” tall

I have a quartz heater filled about halfway with 3mm boro balls, and I just counted and it's 45 balls. this is still below the 3rd spike, and it works really well. I didn't like the flavor with the heater filled all the way so I took a bunch out. 3mm vs 4mm is probably going to make a big...

Long story short, you haven’t tried it with balls :cool: this setup made me realize that glass heaters put out the best quality vapor, which is my highest priority. I’d definitely like to try the herbo. Looks great. but there is something else I’m holding out for :ninja:

try filling it up around 1/3-1/2 full and see how you like that. I like it better. nothing wrong with saying that

When I added balls, I left it at the same temp that I had been running ball-less, and immediately scorched the shit out of my load. It was pretty dramatic. I had to lower the temp by 100*F to get it to behave. I also started by filling it all the way up with balls, which I do not recommend...

yes!! in addition to degrading flavor, hot metal just feels harsh. all glass everything is the way :bowdown:

This vape doesn’t deserve to be lurking on page 3. I was expecting to need to use a slower draw with the coil setup. Turns out that’s old news. Half filled with 3mm boro beads, this thing can absolutely keep up with a brisk draw. In fact it works even better that way because the hot air...

having missed out on the GS, I am in pursuit of the heavy hitting desktop with the purest flavor. I believe this will take the cake. right now this is the only thing stopping me from dropping $$$ on an Herbo Ti :ko:

That is cool! I wish I could reprogram mine to stay on for 5 more minutes haha I also had a miniVAP repaired/upgraded under warranty and the communication was very good and everything went smoothly :clap:

haha ok so I had it right the first time. the reason I recommend the elev8r is that you could turn it on and leave it on and just have it ready whenever you want for an instant micro-hit, killing the load in one draw. so warmup time is largely irrelevant. but it is a potential hazard I...

@Shadooz You know, I think I totally misread your first post :doh: I thought you were saying you warmed up the crafty, took a single hit, and then turned it off and did it again hours or days later? if you are looking to have little sessions where you vape about .1g in 3-5 rips, the miniVAP is...

@Shadooz speed is relative, but for a coil driven convection desktop it is fast. My old NV controller overshoots and then settles in to 590*F in about 5 minutes and it’s ready to go. It’s not really heating up much mass even filled halfway with 3mm boro balls @dimmusp the mV is special to me...

you were beating the shit out of those craftys by heating them up for one hit and then turning them off. Also wasting the goods. Elev8r enail with balls is fantastic for microdosing. I can sprinkle a tiny amount in the center of the screen and drain the whole thing in one hit for full...

@MrMonss that is rather curious. first thing I would do is take it apart as much as possible (not sure how old that cap is but you can at least remove the heating plate). did you check your intake ports to make sure they are all clear? and make sure the inside is relatively free of debris...

yeah, pretty much. Big enough that it will definitely scorch if I draw slowly. inner blue flame close to 1 inch, give or take. I don't keep the inner blue flame touching the plate for the whole draw. I start there but I have to back my torch off pretty quickly and keep it moving or it will...

Yes. Totally normal. I might be misreading your post but the vapor I get out of the lotus is far from invisible... my cap is so old, its one of the old style that can’t be disassembled for cleaning. Plate is dented to all hell, but it just keeps working. These days I use a rather large...

My credit card is trembling with anticipation

My advice is to set it somewhere in the range of 11v to 11.5v and leave it. When you see voltage drop as the Vapbong warms up, I think that’s just a function of the resistance of the heater wire increasing as temps increase. It’s not actually lowering the temperature. I set it to 11.5v and by...
