I see... so we have already figured out the sex, but have you figured out the its name yet.....
It's a great product, with a known history. A lot of people do like it.
1. "Bowl size" is 'subjective', but, yeah, the flowers really work well.
2. Iit's all about approach. Their are different ways to hit this, depending on what you are trying to elicit. For example, temp points can elicit different reactions. Once you have your thermal mass in control, then stoke it. Slow and steady wins the race.
3. All new units being produced should be free of systemic issues. Of course, every now and again, a problem unit will sneak through, but you can say that about ANY product.
Started this reply a few days ago, but got super busy. Hope unit is in your hands, and you have flipped off combustion as you kicked it out the door!
Don't the units still come with the pouch, or was that just for the pre-orders. The pouch is not something I can see needing two of unless one looses one...
I don't do "hits" per se, but almost continuously sip it for 10-30 min or more. I'll start at a low temp and go until I feel that temp is exhausted and then raise the temp the the next step, then repeat until I'm about up to 390°F. I know exactly ho much product to put in (dosage control on that end), and I find the slowly sipping it kinda "stokes the fire" (or more specifically, I'm not drawing in a lot of room temp air, so less thermal recovery. Many years ago, I used to smoke a (tobacco) pipe, so something a bit like that. I find I enjoy the whole process that way. Others just want to do 1 big hit, and be done with it.
I think mine does get hot, but not too hot to hold. But then again, I don't usually go above 390°F.
BTW: Because of the design (the unit is very tightly packed), there is actually LESS insulation between the bowl and the outside wall (This is across the narrowest part of the base) than there is between the bowl and the components inside the base (like the charging port), which are along the long axis (so of course there is a bit more room there. So the front and back sides to the base (centerish near the bowl) are the second hottest part of the device after the bowl itself.

*AND* some convection. All devices will exhibit some ratio of the three... it just depends on the device design as to what percentage of each is exhibited by the device. (IIRC, I think radiant is the least productive of the three for this discussion, so most people ignore it.) The only way to have 100% is to figure out how to vape in either a vacuum or in zero gravity, and I suspect you might have trouble inhaling in either case.
That really depends on the design of the device and is not globally true. For example, my Herbalizer is mostly convection, but it works by keeping the bowl *PERFECTLY* at temp. This, of course translates into the bowl essentially always vaping while in use because the heat never changes.
IMHO, however, I feel the "loss" (typically "chimney effect") is negligible.

Oh, the new "Quote" option is awesome! I really like how you can queue up a bunch of items to reply to, but keep reading.
It would have saved me a bunch of work had I figured out how it works at sometime sooner than the *END* or writing this post.
