@Cannabiker That’s true. I was talking about just quality but that is a good point too
Lmfao. I said it before if you have the single bore don't ever take it out. Otherwise you'll hate yourself. Just roll/twists some parchment paper and douse it in alcohol and spin it around inside the to clean it. No need to disassemble if you have single bore.Some similar thoughts around here. The condenser is hard af to introduce in the stem. I hope i won’t need to take the condenser off never .
I have to add the tip would be better with something to dispel the heat, since it is a good device to make multiple heatings. The cap gets cold very fast, and that’s nice, but the tip dispel all the heat to the stem, so half stem gets very hot. This wouldn’t be a problem if it is titanium and have a longer size. But it is a short device and made of SS.
It is a relative hard to tame device if you want big hits, but it can be meek if you want some light tasty hits. When you get a big hit it is great and flavorful, but you need a lot of technic to replicate it several times (and no to be super high xddd).
About ih’s: i think the convector works better with an aggresive ih like the wdlx (orion knock off) introducing just the top of the cap to get a fast convection hit. It works with the wand but i feel it is too slow for what the device can offer to you (back to back fast heating hits).
The convector needs a easier stem assembly, stem/tip dissipation and more homogeneous results, but still being a good little device with a very interesting “heater” wich gives good clouds and good flavor from convection in a simple way.
Irrelevant. It is clear the vape needs to be more refined, but being made in china doesn’t make a product have a bad quality and being make in the US doesn’t make the product have a good quality.
Actually i think the B tip from dynavap have a poor quality af, and the stem is cheap and ugly.
It is good not to associate where is made or if it is an artisan product with good product.
Objectivity
This is why this place is so excellent.I used my Healthy Rips Fury 2 as a heat source and put the Convector in the oven cap and all.
I tried different single jet torches...nothing too big or powerful ...inner blue flame set to appr. 1cm to 1.5cmWhat kind of torch are you using?
...valid point!I wonder if draw speed influences extraction?
I'll take a photo when I get homeDo you get an even roast through your bowl? How far do you take your extraction, in terms of avb color?
A reminder to press your Camo cap onto the chamber tight enough to pass the "shake test" before putting it away. @floribud We'll follow up with you via PM.Got my 2 Convectors for 420. Lost one of the caps on the second day, Watch out they don't seem to fit as tightly as Dynavap caps. I've had over 10 Dynvaps over 5 years and never lost a cap. Maybe it's just bad luck, but be careful with these.
With Pipes' line of heaters try heating the Convector for 6 seconds max each heat cycle. This has worked well for us with the Portside mini.Anyway I've got several IHs, it's really difficult to get this thing "dialed in" with an IH. I'm now only using it with my YLLvape IH since that has a somewhat effective temperature readout. Ive combusted over and over with my Brute from Pipes, which is my favorite when using Dynavap, but I've also combusted a few times in the YLLvape IH. Taste is definitely very good when you heat it to the right temp AND the low draw resistance is very nice, much "free-er" feeling than a Dynavap. But this thing really needs a shallow bowl IH to hit right. I still kind of need to see the tip to know when to stop, and the Brute is just too deep to see what's going on.
When heating the Convector with the wand, we first recommend getting familiar with the heating position of the cap inside the wand coil. The cap mass will engage the heater coil inserted at an angle and not when directly in the middle of the coil. You can test this out by putting just the cap on a wooden toothpick or a similar thin long object and inserting it into the coil. Once the cap is in the coil(does not need to be inserted deep into the coil), tilt it until you see the wand lights change from blinking red to blinking yellow, indicating it is being heated. This is the ideal angle at which you should heat the cap at.I fully admit that it's a fiddly thing to heat it freehand with a Wand. You have to have steady hands to hold it right at the point where the induction heating gets triggered (yellow pulsing on the Wand) and no further so as to just heat the very tip of the cap. I should really just figure out a spacer so I can heat it hands free. That's my *only* (edit, I want a digger tool on the cap too ) minor complaint with the Camouflet, otherwise job well done!
Correct.I'm guessing the Inductor they're releasing functions the way it does (using a targeted point for the induction as opposed to passing through a coil) because it makes it that much easier to just heat the tip of the Camouflet.
From our first post in the Convector thread:It's not made "in house". Pretty sure the U.S. company just sends their 3D model files to China for "printing".
Performance wise this is absurdly inconsistent!. I might be biased, have been using the Anvil lately and have come accostumed to it. But all i could think yesterday was that this thing needs a lot more cooking in the design and testing phase.
One of every 10 hits is a great hit but you need to be lucky or you need to be sober in order to get consistent hits from this thing. A mere 0,2 seconds in heating time delay can make the flavour go away. If I try to make back 2 back hits i cant get heating right and using it with a bong is almost impossible. By the time i have placed it in the bong the heat is already gone!.
Timing/counting is helpful when learning heating techniques with the Convector. After a while, heating and timing become second nature and the ritual more innate. No timing or counting used in the demo video below, instead we rely on visual cues from the changing colors of the cap housing. Approximately 12 second heat-up time in video for those interested.It does take some precise timing; heating it while it's already in the bong helps.
Thanks for this demo. I tried this method and it works really well. It will change the way I use it.Timing/counting is helpful when learning heating techniques with the Convector. After a while, heating and timing become second nature and the ritual more innate. No timing or counting used in the demo video below. Loose and "airy" chamber fill, 1/2-3/4 full, heating only the top of the cap until it gets red hot - spread heat across surface area for best results, approximately 12 second heat-up time in video, 1-2 seconds cool down from red hot and get ready for take off!
Here we have the Cammy Fusion
I was just fuckin around but it actually worked as a wpa lol
Yea I could definitely see it working without a problem with thicker o rings. I have some but they are too thick.With the right size O-ring the Convector chamber can also be used as a 8mm to 9mm adapter, for anyone looking to get creative with their setups.
Link to the Convector through glass video on the Camouflet Youtube Channel for anyone not able to view the prior link.
The only thing to do besides stir is to heat the actual bowl part of the tip for the last couple hits. Works very well and at least you still get pure convection hits in the beginning, for the top half of the load.After a few days of use and getting the feel of it slightly better, I still like the convector
Since I only have a Tip and Cap in a dimpled glass stem, I can't comment a lot on build quality... For me and my use it's fine. It's nothing fancy, but it does perform pretty well IMO.
My only real con right now is, that I can't get a even roast through my load i pack it around 1/2 to 2/3 full and pretty light. Almost no tamp. After about 3 to 5 heat cycles and nice hits (not huge clouds, but also nothing whispy), I end up with a dark brown top while the bottom is almost still green. It helps to stir, but I have to admit, I'm not a fan of stirring and especially not in a bowl as small as this.
Any Tipps from fellow FC members?
For reference, I "Pack" the bowl like I do with my anvil, when I'm not trying to RTL, but get a nice tasty hit from it (yes, that is possible )...so pretty loose already, I would say.

I've been just tapping the cap against something hard and/or holding the cap while shaking the whole stem about halfway through the bowl. It's a crude form of "stirring" without pouring stuff out but it seems to work really well for me. Much more even ABV.only thing to do besides stir is to heat the actual bowl part of the tip for the last couple hits.

So I’m not sure this was an advisable choice but I used my Healthy Rips Fury 2 as a heat source and put the Convector in the oven cap and all. Used 385F and would inhale with it sitting in the oven and pull it out of the oven on occasion as well. Works pretty well! Hopefully others might have both on hand and give it a go!
