So the other day, I stumbled across a video of the dude at tabletopbong.com where he explored using a brickmaker to make compact pucks for the AVLP. I remember that's been discussed in this thread before but never got around to trying it.
So I did. And I think it might be my preferred pack now! Crazy. I guess because I prefer session mode on the AVLP over on-demand, the heated bowl also does well with a tight pack. I've never owned a vape that took me so long to find my favorite packing method. Loose pack, nugs... they've all been great up until now but a super tight pack!?
I didn't buy a special tool but I used the golf tee tool from my Couchlog to compress the flower in the bowl as much as I could, all the way to the top. Then I start a 5min session at 330F (the AVLP temps are crazy understated I find) and just puff away until the bowl is done.
I find by using this temp, I get the maximum number of tasty hits until the bowl is done. Nice big clouds and lots of flavor virtually to the end. The dense pack at this low temp just seems to ooze flavor and prolong your session.
I know it seems strange but I find the longer you run session mode, the hotter the bowl gets - without temp stepping required. Maybe that's just me
. My ABV comes out dark caramel colored and perfectly even.
The AVLP continues to surprise me after all this time. Super versatile vape.
