Vape Donkey 650
All vape, no smoke please.
Damnit I'm not done yet! 
With all the hype over big new RBA coils with so many big donuts, I don't want to let the cubis tanks with teeny donuts go under-recognized or un-appreciated. I still have a bunch of these and they still work very well, relative for their smaller size and power needs 
My latest cubis builds had been with dual 5mm donuts filled with the cheap, runny, THClear distillate syringes. Although the super-loose viscosity was helpful for filling tanks, the excess terpene dilution ended up being too much for me.
I feel like these things are cut to 40-50% terpenes 
It was causing my throat to get so itchy and only got worse as the tank was puffed on more, with the light yellow color of the oil getting brown and dark black pretty quickly. 
This was a shame because it was a good proof of concept for the 5mm donuts, actually producing big clouds, just of a crappy product 
I didn't want to subject my chest to such abuse anymore, so I took these cubi (plural of cubis) apart to recover the crap oil and clean them up for some better filling contents. This dark foul distillate oil will be eaten and get mixed in with food and drinks. Had a few drops in my coffee, it was ok in that role. ![:\](/i/s/hmm.gif "Hmm :\")
One small encouraging note is how clean the 5mm donut is. The wick is fouled, but that rinses off easy.
Get to soaking...
And after changing the alcohol two times, it was coming out pretty clear, so then I rinse it gently with warm water and let it dry out. Then I put it into a spare, clean empty cubis tank to dry-fire it to boil off any leftover moisture and gunk. I also pulse the coil briefly in watts mode to burn off any crust, and that's about as clean as it's going to get.
To my slight disappointment, after the burn-off, I actually was left with a thin dark crust over part of one donut. It looks like bad lighting on the pic, but the donut actually got a little darker. Oh well, it's clean, and I don't have more 5mm donuts. Gonna use it.
I decided to give THclear another chance, this time with their thicker "honey bucket" distillate product, which comes in a little jar, not a syringe, and is purported to be a thicker product, cut with less terpene. More thick it surely is, but are the fewer terpenes of a higher quality as well?
Some of this distillate took into a syringe with heating the jar, but with lots of air bubbles, it turned out to be easier to just pour the warmed oil directly into the tank from the jar, and I did this with minimal spilling and sticky fingers, but didn't take pics because it was precarious
But here's the tank when it was filled and settled, with just under 1g in there
Nice cognac / whiskey hue, thick and slow to move across the tank, but it does migrate if you give it a few minutes. I dial in my same TC settings for this coil I was using earlier, and:
Insta-yack ! ! !
I was getting gurgling, a little spitting, followed quickly by big clouds (this coil wicks up quickly even with thick stuff) and the flavor even closely resembled the "skywalker og kush" strain it claims to be. (I'm quite familiar with that one) but it was just throat-gaggingly harsh and irritating! What a waste!
IDK if they just put a cheap, poorly-extracted industrial-sourced terpene mix in their distillate, or if they put too much of it, or if their product is contaminated with pesticides or some crap, but over 4 strains i've tried so far, THClear never fails to make me feel sick trying to vape their product, the longer I try it.
It's a shame because I was getting big clouds right away, but I don't need to guinea pig myself with some suspect concentrate to prove that my coil works. As frustrating as this is since I just emptied and cleaned out this tank and coil, after just a couple dozen puffs or so on a fresh tank, I broke it all down and did it all again!
I have 2 evics with their own cubis and 5mm donut coils on this little side-project, and my pink one assigned to sativa duty sat, already cleaned out and ready while the THClear honey bucket fill-up on the black evic failed, so the red tank was ready to go with a quality product instead. I planned on filling this red tank with a "sour diesel" THClear honey bucket, but because their skywalker OG was so gross, I call up gold drop once again, and this brand didn't fail.
This time we have chem-dawg!
tipping the scales at a respectable 87% thc 
The little 5mm coil was washed just like the other one, but this one didn't get much dark crust left behind. Just a slight yellow tinge left from the the old distillate?
(whatever)
Started with two 0.5g's, painstakingly slow to wrangle that thick oil to the floor of the tank. The filling slots of the cubis are a bit restrictive, but much less so than the X-baby tanks.
So this chem-dawg slowly made it's way to the tank bottom, and I called up my old settings from earlier, TCR 245, 24w, start low at 360F. 1g to start a clean cubis is minimal, so I was getting no gurgling, but I was getting great flavor to start, and as I moved up to 375, 380F wow I was starting to get some rather thick clouds. I closed air throttles to 1/5 open to help move the thick oil through suction and dial in good low temp hits. I eventually settled on 385-395F and wow... this is one of the best tasting tanks I've ever filled 
(up against some very solid competition recently too) It's like a party in my mouth, courteousy of a chemmy-dawg A little OG-kushy, soapy, a little sour diesel-y, (the most well-known offshoots of chemdawg) This is distillate and strain profiles done right! Absolutely no terpene tickle, but with a very strong, pronounced flavor that sticks to my tongue and throat for many minutes! This one tastes stronger than the tangie or romulan, and very potent!
Only possible complaint so far with this coil / oil: I sometimes get a "ghost hit" or a dry, empty hit in between some thick chalky ones. I think that's because oil on the edge of the donut gets vaped and takes a few seconds to replenish, since I filled it with a minimal 1g. 1.2 or 1.3g might have been better, but I'll get back to that.....

Back to that poor black evic with the skywalker og distillate oil! That THClear was gross for the second time, so I cleaned it up again
and filled it up with another gold drop! guess what strain?
Yet another skywalker og. Although this gold drop is just about as thick as the others I've used, at only 60% thc, with a dash of CBD, it's much less potent Where's that other 20-25% of content at? Yet I fill it again. This time I put 3 syringes, for about 1.3-1.4g total (one was short from me using on a DTV3) since the pink evic with chemdawg felt just a little bit shorted with only 1.0g
This one has a lighter hue and thicker viscosity than the THClear buckets
That may have been over-doing it on the fill. As I closed it up and let the tank settle a little bit, I dialed in my old settings for this coil: TCR 245, 24w, 365F to start.
I got alot of intense gurgling and some nasty spitting (ow my lip) For having so much thick oil with only 2 little donuts far low on the floor, I think my heaters where a bit overwhelmed and overcome by oil at first 
I creeped up the temp to 380, 390 400! I was still getting little to no vapor, just gurgles, spits, and lots of skywalker og taste
I was not until I went past 410, 425, 430F with a stout, strong puff on the mouthpiece with 3/5 holes open on the air intake to be able to start fetching a worthy cloud.
In between these stout clouds, I would get an empty, ghost cloud, or a meager one, but pull again, and then you get a real thick one
And it's tasting good, and it's fairly smooth. Ironically, it tastes exactly like THClear's skywalker OG, just that it doesn't bother my throat 
This one actually tickles my throat just a little, and the other gold drop's don't do that at all, but it's minimal, and this distillate is enjoyable still. Hopefully it will go away as the tank level gets vaped up and settles lower.
Sigh! So after so much work cleaning tanks and so much THClear wasted, I finally got my little 5mm donut evic cubi set up right and filled with something good again.
Once again I have way too many tanks to puff on...

The x-baby RBA is also easier to build, with less work required compared to a modified cubis coil.
