just wanted to update my previous post and say that the EB Swagger straight tube turbine is absolutely outstanding at high temps. seriously, I alternate between this and the Mobius Ion and can't decide which one I like better. at the moment I think the Ion is better at lower temps and the HT...
checking back in after several weeks of utterly consistent excellent performance on the part of my refurbished EVO. this thing is just such a pleasure to use. it's so simple and powerful. just drop in an ELB and go to town on whatever glass you have. my ELB's never get snagged on any glass...
what reason do we have to believe that the active compounds with lower boiling points are destroyed by being exposed to more moderate temps like 175-185*C?
I don't think it's reasonable to compare heating cannabinoids past their boiling point to what happens when they come into contact with...
I think you are on to something here, focusing on the rate at which the entire load is brought up to operating temps. bringing the entire contents of the ELB up to targeted temps extremely quickly may reduce the % of actives that get converted into less desirable compounds before they are...
I like the metaphor of "functional strength." a cooler EVO may actually outperform a hotter OG due to the fact that it transfers heat to the contents of the ELB more efficiently and more thoroughly.
I have recently had the notion rolling around in my head that in fact ABV color may not have as...
touche, and looks like a clean mod. however I just don't see the need... it just doesn't get that hot IMO. I apologize if I'm coming off as some sort of iron skinned hardass, I've just never had an issue handling the hot EVO. I just don't grab it where it's hot. you'd have to really try to...
I was about to write pretty much this exact post. I agree 100%. hanging out in the lower temps is beautiful with this thing.
same here. I didn't even really try this until a few days ago because I was having too much fun blowing massive clouds. but now I am really impressed with the lower...
I have currently evolved into using an entirely different approach than I did with the Cloud+. This is made possible by the fact that once the EVO is heatsoaked, it seems to be very responsive to increases in temperature. so I can turn up the dial in the middle of a session, wait a minute or...
My first vape was built be me in the mid 90s when I was about 15. I used a box, a soldering iron, a mason jar, and a steel socket for the bowl. It actually "worked" (100% conduction), but tasted so awful I abondoned the concept of vaporizing entirely! Clearly it wasn't a fair assessment of...
I was a little taken aback by the whistling when I used the EVO inverted with my bubbler for the first time. my cloud+ actually does this as well but it's not as loud as the EVO. it's really not very noticeable when using it right-side-up with an HT. anyway I almost immediately stopped...
I don't understand the statement in bold. "taking chemicals via liquid..." what does that mean? running cannabis vapor through water does not turn it to liquid, and inhalation of steam is not unhealthy. I would appreciate if you could elaborate on this claim
I also read this article...
for what it's worth, I'm getting delicious vapor at 3:00. flavor doesn't really seem to degrade at 3:30 but the vapor feels a bit hot through my Ion at that point. might have to try out the ice pinches on the EB HT... anyway 3:00 is basically perfect on my unit as I am able to crush a small...
BJJ and vaping actually complement each other so beautifully it's hard to describe. training vaped is one of my absolute favorite things to do, but that's definitely another thread!
my rebuilt/reflashed unit behaves almost exactly as you described. at 10:30, the vapor is barely visible and at 3:00 it totally whitewalls my glass. no combustion whatsoever.
I sometimes get confused when people talk about 1/3 ELBs, and 1/2 ELBs, etc. because I can't tell if we are talking...
de-lurking here after years of subterranean research. I actually had an active username here on FC a few years ago but I forgot it and the email I used to sign up is no longer active. 3 Years ago I stumbled upon the FC forum and what I found here actually changed my life. I have been quietly...
