It seemed more conduction heavy at first because it extracts so much faster and the stem gets pretty warm where the 18mm stem doesn't in my experience but after using it through the 4.5" piece it does seem more convection heavy, the flavor is incredible, the vapor tastes almost exactly like the...
Just got a Mega Quartz Cap in and went through a bowl. The heater is about the same size as the 18mm QC heater so I used the same heating method, ~35sec with a double flame culinary torch. I hit it through a little 12" piece and it was excellent. Smooth, flavorful vapor (though not as flavorful...
I don't use a screen anymore, I just break a few very small pieces off a nug and flatten them down into the stem with a chopstick to block the chamber, pile some ground herb ontop of it like it was a flat screen, then vape the whole thing. The airflow on the QC is massive so faster resin buildup...
I actually have a 4'5" piece that could easily fit into a purse or large coat pocket along with a glass vape. But then you have to worry about the torch. I do bring that piece and my Air Max with me all the time though and it's a heavy hitter for being so portable.
The Terpcicle or Quartz Cap are about as pure as it gets, just glass and hot air. You need a torch but you inhale after you heat it not during so there's no butane. I don't even use a screen anymore, I just vape whole or loosely broken up nugs.
It's too bad about this company, I have the mini and it's pretty good but the FM owner is clearly a scumbag and you'd have to be insane to give these people your money now.
This is a really helpful response, thanks. I guess I'm mostly interested in the first two, and my question is how good is the temp control and how much better is the flavor/adaptability compared to the 18mm Quartz Cap which is the closest thing I currently have to one. The flavor on that device...
A Mega QC, are these already available? I'll definitely take one.
I haven't tried the long Terpcicle but it's much easier for me to use the short one on the short connector when it's connected to a 14/10mm reducer I have, so I think a longer connector would be better. But if the glass were...
I've had my eye on the Stunner for a while now. I guess the main reason I've shied away from those is I heard the flavor isn't as good but is that not true? And what is the signature like? The Quartz Cap is more convection than conduction and the effects are kind of spacier than my conduction...
I own three vapes right now, the Air Max, the Terpcicle and the 18mm Quartz cap. I love them all and they all do their own jobs extremely well, so I'm not really feeling the VAS itch, but I am curious about what potential benefits a ball vape would have over the butane heated glass devices. The...
