    Discontinued Daisy vaporizer by Triihouse

    I definitely hear you on the whole "Daisy making me rethink my position on vaporizers" deal. I think Daisy might be the best overall value I know of in terms overall satisfaction for your $$$.

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    interesting, thanks for sharing. are you getting the "spent" taste even on the lower heat settings? (blue & pink) also, are you getting the spent taste even when you don't use the lid, such that the herb is only exposed to heat during a draw?

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    I read a post in this thread that suggested that Hermes may still produce both teflon and glass core units but I frankly have no idea supposedly there were manufacturing issues related to a relocation of their facilities? some bad units got shipped. it appears to be limited to a certain...

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    it's been reported (by some FC members and Vapornation themselves) that the glass core adds some conductive heating to the MV as opposed to the teflon core which is/was nearly 100% convection. the two teflon units I had preserved flavor throughout the session, better than any other vape I have...

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    at least you don't have to wait another week to be disappointed (I would certainly LOVE to be wrong about this) VN didn't even have the decency to ship my 2nd replacement via USPS 2-day priority like they did the first one. I guess they figure that if I can wait 4-5 months for a working unit...

    The Lotus Vaporizer

    I guess mine doesn't always audibly pop when I apply the torch to heat it, but it always pops a few seconds after I take the torch away as it cools

    The Lotus Vaporizer

    I have the latest version of the Lotus (smooth plate, no cracks) and the thing definitely pops in and out as it heats and cools. Functions beautifully. I'm pretty sure it's normal

    Discontinued Lily vaporizer by Triihouse

    I am really starting to hit my stride with this lovely Lily! Mine did have a fairly strong smell/taste of the wood at first but it has mellowed substantially and now the flavor is very nice. I'm getting great results from tamping the load down lightly so that the screen is totally covered...

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    this is exhausting. wouldn't be so bad if this thing wasn't the best goddamn vape. I have other very good options, but they're just not quite as good... I feel like every session could have been just a bit better if they send me a unit with a glass core I will try to keep an open mind...

    Excellent news, thank you. Did they mention whether the new units have glass or Teflon cores?

    Discontinued Lily vaporizer by Triihouse

    @t-dub your Lily looks fine. it's supposed to have 2 turb holes. and that sure looks like a knot to me too, it's not even in line with the other holes. mine looks exactly like yours minus the knots we are talking about the Lily here, not the Daisy...

    Discontinued Daisy vaporizer by Triihouse

    I have had both Daisy and Lily for a little over a week and I have to say, the Daisy has totally blown away my expectations. I will leave Lily talk for the Lily thread. this post is about Daisy: first and foremost - the "vape signature" is devastating. this thing hammers home the goods in...

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    Could not disagree more. I have zero brand loyalty to any manufacturer. And I'm not simply justifying the purchase - I have paid for other more expensive units that I find to be inferior to the MV in terms of performance. For example, my Crafty was more expensive than the MV. I think I paid...

    MiniVAP Vaporizer

    just got off the phone with Vapornation. My return was approved and I will receive a replacement. I was told that they are still waiting on the new shipment from Hermes, which, they have been promised, will not suffer from the heating issues that unfortunately plagued many units this past...

    I've only been running the fine screen for a couple days, so maybe mine will get clogged too? I think a cleaning every few weeks is acceptable...

    Crafty/Crafty+ by Storz & Bickel

    really loving the ease of use with the Crafty. it's just so quick and convenient. heats up quickly and cleans up super easy as well. I just invert the heater while it's still hot and brush it out. brush off the bottom of the cooling unit, and I'm done. finding myself using it more and more...

    Speculation about how vapour clouds form

    good point that I hadn't thought of, I agree 100%. the Herbie and MV actually made me change the way I look at ABV, but that is indeed another thread. no, I think you're right, and what you are saying is in line with the info provided by S&B seems there are a few good reasons to heat the bowl

    Speculation about how vapour clouds form

    This is completely false. Pure convection can provide massive clouds. According to S&B, the bowl heats up so the vapor is instantly available. This is where the conduction and radiation come into play. If the load is cold when you start your draw you may have to wait a few seconds for the...

    Crafty/Crafty+ by Storz & Bickel

    yes, I do practice jiu-jitsu and have enjoyed practicing judo in the past. reverse ude-garami / aka the "kimura" is actually a shoulder lock ;) back on topic, here's some crafty convection. I don't usually use it like this but it works great:

    Crafty/Crafty+ by Storz & Bickel

    I can confirm that when I use the crafty in full convection mode using a miniVAP cone and basket module, the ABV comes out lighter than when I use the device as designed. The taste is different as well. I believe there is significant conduction and thermal radiation going on when you use it as...
