Try to watch the cleaning video which shows a technique for putting the screen back in place. Lay the gasket in place first then use the stir tool to push the screen in place. You may have to push the screen a fair bit inward into the unit to get it to square back in place. For me though I ended up removing all the screens including the mouthpiece and the wheel and just use the top of a dosing cap.
I am very curious...by removing the mouth piece too? Do you feel a difference? Apparently right? Without a mouth piece I can imagine the flow is more dynamic?
I think he was talking about the screen in the mouthpiece and not the entire mouthpiece itself. I could be wrong.
oh...yes. Maybe. I just took my mouth piece off to try it. I feel that having the mouth piece somehow directs it more and feels like an even thrust. I like it better with the mouth piece. I just do not like cleaning that area. But, soon there will be a new design and then, we will have to complain about something else....LOL.I think he was talking about the screen in the mouthpiece and not the entire mouthpiece itself. I could be wrong.
@Mrencopresis interesting username btw
i'm selling my old og model because my hubby has been told to stop because of his copd is getting worse. edibles is his only method now. so i have two alps now and seems a waste to sit on one. but i'm not in a hurry. lol
I use the mouthpiece I just remove the screen. It improves airflow but I think you can get a particle infrequently. This is the same with removing any screen. I like to use the mouthpiece as I feel it’s easier to get a stronger pull. I inhale over my tongue. When I removed the mouthpiece there is even more flow but I felt it was not as ergonomic…I kind of wasn’t a big fan of the airflow over my teeth. Or putting my mouth over the whole thing. Ymmv. Hope this helps!
Sorry to hear but, thank God for edibles...just my two cents I think you should keep your ALP...I was in the same position as you and one day my ALP took a plunge into the toilet...that same one took like three shits onto the floor and the door got damaged. Thank God I had my second ALP...so, accidents can happen.
Feeling dumb I missed out on this for a while.
Yea the temp display is basically nonsense. Almost no difference between "290f" and "330f", and "365" is basically 400f.So, for the longest time I've been loading my ALP with crumbled little nuggs and vaping by temp-stepping from about 370F to 390F. Great flavor!
But I couldn't for the life of me remember why I went away from coarse grind to crumbled nuggs so I loaded some coarse grind in there today and started at around 340F on a hunch. Wow. Why did I never try this before? Powerful thick vapor. Cool and tasty.
I think when I first tried coarse grind I may have started at too high a temp? Maybe I overfilled the bowl? I honestly don't remember but I didn't like the coarse grind experience when I first got the unit. I've never really had a unit where I considered vaping at such a low temp but in session mode I guess the conduction + convection effects over time just build up nicely. Not sure I can trust that temp display
Might try even lower temps going forward. Too many vapes to experiment on and too little time.
I mean, the setting does seem to have a nice linear effect but I guess it's not nearly as precise as it says.
Agree here. That's probably likely one of the reasons I started using crumbled nuggs as they clean up much better than coarse grind. Also I guess the chunkier nuggs take longer to cook and are less sensitive to higher temps. Airflow is generally better too for even cooking.
i'm in no hurry to sell og alp, might loan it to a friend a few weeks
Very cool. Still the old style capsules I assume
Is there a new style of the capsules available?
no yet, not in production yet. maybe by dec
I don't really think we should be encouraging people to go attack a review thread on Reddit. That feels a little bit like borderline brigading.
encouraging people? where did i say that? don't spin my words. i said if interested have a read. why you got to go there>? i've never encouraged shit like that, ever, that's a real nasty thing to say. check my history here and on reditt. i added my 2 cents does not mean to attack anyone and if you bothered to read what i said there you would see that.
I apologize for this. I thought sharing the thread here could lead some to attack without thinking. But I should have been more careful in my response.
I read it the same way so you’re not the only one.
it is all good, thank you for the kind words and thoughts. should i remove the link or the thread i started?
