I disagree. In on-demand mode the bowl stays at room temp unless you push the button. Once you stop pushing the button the temp plummets again. Nothing happens to my weed if I don't draw in this mode. Of course once you draw the bowl will absorb some heat from the hot air flowing through it but this dissipates once you stop pushing the button and stop drawing. Also, you can see the temp dropping on the display. Seems very heavily convection in this mode.
In session mode of course it's hybrid convection/conduction as the bowl gets heated along with the heated air you draw through the bowl. I actually prefer this hybrid mix but I think it's anyone's guess as to what the ratio is. My feeling is that it's around 70%/30% convection/conduction at the start of my session and maybe 50/50 by the end of a 3 minute session.
Agree 100 percent.... that is why I love it so much. I love both session and on demand on this unit. It
is perfect for me. Perfect.
The only thing wrong with this unit is the cleaning where the little rail is, near the bowl. That area SUCKS and you never know if you have cleaned it well. It is a guessing game. I can only imagine what that is like for people that suffer from paranoia. That becomes a big deal.
But anyway...I think that the new tool to clean it is CUTE. That thing will fall apart in a couple of months for sure. The tool is a bit crappy for my taste. I have brushes that are sturdier. I know Gary said they are going to fix that area with the next design. I hope so, because that seems like a big flaw for me.
Also, just a note...I truly support Airvape, I really feel is a great product. The ALP for me works best as is. I do not use the loading tool that I just bought-I load with my fingers, I do not use a shredder that I have many to grind....I use my hands, I do not use the capsules I bought-the herb is direct into the bowl. No nothing. Yes, it does get filthy after use. So, I clean it. No big deal. You wipe your ass after you shit right? So, I clean my shit and, I love it.
This has the best flavor out of all of my vapes hands down...
