Hey guys, I bought this vaporizer in April of last year and wanted to take my time and try everything before posting. At first I was thoroughly disappointed, having used the extreme q for years chasing huge clouds, but over time I began to appreciate the Aromed more and more. I now love this vaporizer and truly appreciate its design. From my experience their is only a "click" when the herb holder is connected to the heating element at room temperature. If you pre-heat your Aromed, it slides on smoothly with no click. It took some time to figure this out, as I thought the click was responsible for a complete seal. I've learned that in order to fit the bulb snugly into the herb holder I must press the bulb into the herb holder with one hand and adjust the metal neck of the vaporizer with the other hand, either pulling it backwards or forewords. When this is done right the bulb will remain firmly in place with a proper seal. I will make a video of this to better demonstrate my point. Also, I've noticed a lot of people are modifying their Aromed to allow the herbs to be closer to the heating element, which gives much bigger draws, often with very little material. I have tried a few different mods to this effect and while they are effective, I personally feel there are other vaporizers I prefer to use when cloud chasing. It took me the better part of a year to really understand my Aromed and get the best results from it, but now I truly feel this vaporizer is special. For me it is the king of low temperature vapor, with effects that can be similar to oral ingestion. I use my Aromed unmodified, with approximately 0.2 - 0.5 grams of material, and I must say the results are very enjoyable. I think one thing that throws a lot of people off is the fact that the Aromed needs to be "primed" before vapor is achieved. By this I mean that the first 3 or 4 draws are always going to be underwhelming, while the material is fully heated. After these initial draws, the vapor starts being produced and depending on your selected temperature, it is possible to achieve the smoothest most flavourful vapor, to the most lung busting clouds, and everything in between. It must be said that if you stop taking draws, you can certainly enjoy the rest of your bowl later on, but each time you pause for more than a minute or two you will need to "prime" the load again with a few draws. I purchased a "buddy's vacuum sealer" from a friend so that I can prime my Aromed with ease, and I must say the results are amazing. To my knowledge they do not sell these anymore, but essentially it is a handheld vacuum pump which costs $30 and is capable of hitting the Aromed for me, until the vapor production is to my liking, at which point I take over. I continue to take draw after draw in quick succession as I feel this is how I get the best results from the Aromed. Theoretically this vaporizer functions similarily to a forced air vaporizer in the way it produces vapor, although it uses your draw instead of a fan. It is important to understand that this vaporizer functions quite differently than a vaporizer with a ceramic heating element. Another thing that has significantly improved my experience with the Aromed is using a volcano vaporizer screen in the herb holder instead of the stock Aromed screens. The reason this works so much better is that it is a larger screen, and when you finally get it in place you will notice it is slightly domed, with the herb staying in place much better. I found that with the original screen the herb was displaced quite easily, and the volcano screen definitely fixes this for me. The last thing I've done to improve my experience with the Aromed is use a bent neck hydratube (purchased from Steven off dhgate, $38 U.S.) as a mouthpiece. I cut a small piece of silicone tubing to attach an 18mm adapter to the glass water filter, where the tubing would normally be attached. This allows my hydratube to be used dry as a mouthpiece, which creates an all glass vapor path and improves flavour, but more significantly adds a tiny bit of draw resistance which in my opinion perfects the function of the Aromed. I will be posting a few videos over the next week or so of the mods I use, and will include a session video to show the results I've been getting. I hope this helps you guys as much as it's helped me, and if anyone has any questions please feel free to ask!
