Aromed 4.0

[Ed's TnT]

But what are details of that solution?

1,2 posts later solution of @Aimless Ryan is posted with vid, so far as I @Ed's TnT understood is this base of the new Aromed mod?

Would like ro reactivate my Aromed so much in case of increased performance. Halogene really is such a nice heating source. So I'm already happy with the performance of my Venus Apollo.
But ever disliking the swan-neck solution. Such a hassle with it in the og setup. "Fortunately" I broke one of my bowl's stem and shortened it to the tapper. Much better use with "regular" bubblers

Yes sir you found it, that' what I have and yes I've spoken to my guy bout his pics it' just he has so much happening with the glass and herb market he' got going on.

@Hogni

I have always wanted to disassemble my Aromed and remove a section of the flexible steel tube.
It would be replaced with a much softer and flexible cable that would just hang.
In my mind this would be perfect and no glass would be broken.
I cracked my herb holder a while ago trying to get a good seal...
With it hanging loose and easier to manipulate over the herb chamber would make like so much easier!

Another project for one day...

Funny, "Verdampftnochmal" have a modificated Aromed in their showroom in Berlin. It's older than 10y and looks pretty steampunk. They dissassembled the swan-neck and changed it to a "metal thing" made by "Bob the builder-" with a lot of lab tech metal holder parts and joints. You can exacetly position the light bulb as you like it. Really nice construction.
Have to take some pics the next time I'll be there.

Was thinking of your statement @Hogni and agree about how the weak part of the setup is the less-than-modular setup of the Aromed herb stem. I suddenly had visions of an Aromed herb chamber that just ended in a 14mm or 18mm GonG, without the long stem. Or even better yet, an 18mm or 14mm female end, so you don't end up having a super-heated male end getting stuck in your female WP GonG. This would give the Aromed so many more options!

I watch my buddy set his stem and then pull the light down to mate them (and IMO putting strain on his WP stem), but without the long stem you could attach the herb chamber to the light (mate em by pushing the full chamber "up") and then adjust the neck to rest the chamber on the WP GonG.

My buddy went to the LHC and got a WP to fit the Aromed stem, and while it works well and tastes great he ended up with an 18" smokers WP with dual chambers (inline perc, UFO perc) because that is the only sort of WP that has a long enough stem to seat the Aromed herb stem. Bring your deep breathing lungs! A standard 18/14mm GonG Aromed herb chamber would allow the use of all the small rigs that vapers prefer!

Great idea, just need to find a glassblower that would make them for us!

Another idea that i use with my Aromed is this:
I remove the small bubbler and have it sitting next to the main unit.
Now adjust the light so that when you lift up the main unit and place it over the herb holder, the main unit will sit flat on the desk and seal the herb holder.
It's light enough to do this with ease!

A glassblower can simply properly cut the stem of your aromed chamber, that's what I did for using it with my magic flight orbiter

 

[Hogni]

As I said before. Just cut it or break it at the tapper and you will have much more fun again with the Aro. Fuck the hassle with finding bad/ugly, but stem length suited wt, fuck the hassle with the OG setup and that tube thing all the time.
But you also need another sized bowl for better performance generally. So the important part to join the sweet sides of the Aro is a new bowl with adjustable/detachable stem (nearly as the old Aro mod by Ed) and a bowl shaped for more effective use and may be a nice microsdosing insert for it.
I'm pretty sure these changes would elevate the Aro to a new level.

I found that this fits the Aromed, and I think it might be what some of you are looking for.

All you have to do is pop the rubber ring off and it fits the Aromed pretty much the same as the factory bowl.

Would someone please remove their screw cap light bulb cover and take a picture of the little wire temperature sensor? I was changing my light bulb and accidentally moved the sensor in mine. I'm not sure how it's supposed to be positioned.

Thank You...

Heya, I'll really try hard to remember to do this tonight I keep forgetting. My phone camera is a bit iffy but I'll do my best.
Exactly the same thing happened to me, btw, and I just gently nudged the sensor away from the bulb with a wooden toothpick. Although it's obviously not been properly recalibrated, it now works as well as I can remember it ever did, maybe better. So well, in fact, I'm no longer looking for another desktop (did have my eye on the Evo), as between the Aromed and Elev8r I'm covered. I do love using the Aromed whilst reclining on the sofa watching telly

I'm not sure why I'm even reading my favorite threads on FC right now since I'm on a T-break. One month and doing great. The first ten days of THC withdrawal where horrible... But the Aromed will definitely be my first sesh when I start back up.

 

[chlorophyll_man]

@Vital Hey man, here's the shot. It's likely that the distance you need to move the sensor is so small as to not be possible to see from this image. Be really careful if you do decide to nudge it because it feels VERY delicate:

I opted to DIY it, rather than send it back to Frank/research&experience, but he will do this for you if you want (I checked a month or so ago).

If you're wondering what the silicone gasket is, that's a mod I did. It's thin enough to not touch the hot bulb cover or raise the heater too far from the screen. I have the dimensions in mm if needed. Not sure if it actually creates a better seal or not but the unit works like it's bionic since I did that and moved the sensor the same day.
Gimme a shout back if need be.

@Vital @Mushroomturtle

I hesitated to post a pic of mine since i move mine around for general testing...
If i move mine out to Mushroom's position, my Aromed runs very cool!
I need to have the silver crimped position below the top of the lamp holder, only the tip of the thermocouple protrudes.

My method is to just test it @Vital ! Load a bowl and see how it hits. If it is colder, lower the probe and vice versa! Just make sure it is nice and straight.

Love the gasket idea! Mine is so old if i slightly turn the glass too much it unthreads... Very gentle!

Yeah I think it's just the angle the photo was taken, the silver crimped bit does actually sit very slightly below the lamp holder same as you say.

Exactly, experiment. Only thing I did differently was pushing it away from the bulb, rather than further down into the holder. As expected that would have a similar effect, but I expect your way is probably better than mine in terms of damage risk.

Love the gasket idea! Mine is so old if i slightly turn the glass too much it unthreads... Very gentle!

I can't remember exactly when I bought mine, either 2004 or 2007 one of the two

Once again THANK YOU!!! I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to do this for me!


To all of you that took the time to take a picture and post it to me in PM's and in this thread...I am truly grateful.

What a WONDERFUL group of friends you guys and gals are!!!


I consider it an honor to be a member of this forum!

But the Aromed will definitely be my first sesh when I start back up.

i' shure u meant 'light it back up' - just had a 2 week break, that was enough for me, but FC can help with withdraw

What's about the new mod by Ed? Any news?

After I "fixed" mine I realised I didn't really need it anymore so I never bought it. It remains a mystery to us all
Though I did buy the Incredibowl Redibowl that @Vital mentioned above, hasn't arrived yet, to experiment with glass pieces other than the original Magic Glass mini-bubbler. Relatively inexpensive for £15

Glad I could help...Let me know how you like it!



Have any of you heard of these Teflon joint sleeves that prevent joint lock. If not check out this video. He talks about them about 2 minutes into the video.

If you insert one into the water filter it should eliminate the worry of joint lock. It would be nice not having to use silicon grease, bees wax, or dish-washing liquid all of the time. I found this website that sells them, but I'm sure there are plenty of others. http://www.capitolscientific.com/lab-supplies/Kontes-PTFE-Reusable-Joint-Sleeves

Yepp,Aromed is da shit ;-)..good shit that is...Bought one from Frank 5-6 years ago..works everytime.Would like Mr.Frank to develop a portable one..i know..only in my dreams..

Your dreams have come true! Have you seen the Venus Apollo 2, and the Venus Apollo 2 Limited Edition?

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!

You mentioned that you were going to post a few video's showing your setup. When you have a chance, would do that please? I am trying to visualize what you are describing, but can't quite wrap my head around it.

Thank You!

Hello everybody
Has any of you tried to use the aromed for decaboxylation?
I have an old aromed that I would like to use for decaboxylation of small amounts while traveling with my caravan. I could get a small electric oven but to my experience they will not produce a stabile temperature so I figured I could use the old vape instead.
Do you guys think it is essential to use airflow to even out the temperature? Or could I just put the material inside and hit 240 f°?
My aromed is currently in another country so I cant test this it out myself and would really like to hear what you think of this use of the aromed.

You would need some type of airflow. Unless...Hmmm Just had a thought...What if you point the goose neck up, (pointing the light bulb toward the ceiling) it would act like a stove-top burner. Perhaps you could use the glass Aroma Top. If you use the herbholder I would imagine that you would have to put a screen on top after filling it, if you don't want things falling into the light bulb.

 

[KnutAnkhAmon]

Turning it upside down could be a really good idea thank you! But thinking the aromatop might only give a steady temperature to a very little amount of material and this made me think. Maybe a test tube with an insert is a better solution. I could possible isolate the test tube to prevent temperature loss.

Could someone give me the inner diameter of the bulb cover? It would be very usefull as I intend to shop some test tubes and my aromed is 800 km. away.

 

[KnutAnkhAmon]

I am sorry It is not the bulb cover I need the inner diameter for. It is the inner diameter of the white thing that connects to the herb holder.
