I promised you a photo. Sorry for the delay.

Thanks!
Okay...way more material than I use. The "top part" of my bowl looks exactly like yours. A little bit charred and the rest is also the same brown tone... But, the lower part is still almost green after 3 -4 heat cycles and hits
I got better results now, that I use the technique described in the camouflet Post and by tapping the bowl against my lighter or something between hits, like others suggest.
I guess I just have to fine-tune it a bit more and maybe work on my inhale speed...maybe I start too strong

Hehe, and much more than I'd anticipated, too. In my defence, I absent mindedly jammed the bowl into the grinder without too much thought and accepted the results.
I was thinking (as I inhaled gingerly, staring down at the vapour in the rattlecan) how much easier it is to regulate draw speed when you can see the density of vapour. It's kind of essential to the successful use of many brick style butane vapes. If you have a Dynavap WPA and relatively small glass/ a JHook, I think it could really help.
Anyway best of luck, and thanks for the inspiration. This is now my preferred method for using the Convector.

I’ve removed the convector from my rotation not because of the lack of performance, but due to the number of times I end up combusting from being overzealous with the heating. Cloud chasing is absolutely possible but requires a substantial amount of patience

I'm with you on this. Cloud chasing with a. Convector is like cloud chasing with the Vapman, or tuning up a 1 litre Corsa to clear 120mph. Possible. But kind of misses the point of their intended use. The Convector's strength is its flavour

I can sympathize. As someone who exclusively heats with the Wand I can say that to be consistently foolproof and not combust, I'm relying on a system of counting flashes of the Wand. I get really good results but it does require some concentration which subtracts a bit from the overall enjoyment. Not to mention counting gets a bit more difficult the higher you are
For those of you using a torch I guess you either have to use some kind of timing method or maybe the "heat to red hot and then wait a couple of seconds" method that was recently described by Camouflet. The window between a great hit and combustion is narrow it seems.

Just in case you're bothered, here's the AVB I get from not particularly attentive Vapman style heating

Very impressed with this vape. Easily on par with Omni tips and low temp cap for flavor. The airflow seems better too. The air is hotter than the Dyna though even through the Revolve V2. It does retain heat more than Ti but with less conduction it has similar extraction speed. Hits hard and for me is easy to use with the wand and SK insert. You can even just leave the vape in the wand while taking a 2nd hit. Haven't combusted yet, it seems pretty forgiving as long as you test the vapor and don't push it to far.
Here is a video of the Convector being heated with the Inductor. In a perfect world, we would've liked to have been able to release both devices simultaneously, sharing our full vision from day one. The Convector was designed to be optimized when paired with our Inductor heater and here we can see them shine together.

It'd be interesting to see how the herb looks.

My new convector setup 
A week or so ago, I decided to toss the "trainingwheels" and go for it
Initially I was using the convector with a short dimpled glass stem. It was good to see the vapor and get a feeling for it. Also, it is easy to clean in case of combustion.
I wouldn't say it was a hot vape with the glass stem, but compared to the new stem, it was definitely warm when entering my mouth and throat. First hit with this Setup I thought I need to reheat, since I didn't feel anything during inhaling...until I exhaled a huge and tasty cloud!
... I think I found the right setup for the convector!

Gotta say I really like this vape. The head-on heating method shown above gives a full, even, flavorful roast. Quick and simple, great high.

Agreed. I pulled it out last night and got quick tasty hits with the wand using a counting of flashes technique. Very consistent and flavorful.Gotta say I really like this vape. The head-on heating method shown above gives a full, even, flavorful roast. Quick and simple, great high.
It has the same convection signature as the Stunner but I think of it as a "baby" Stunner. Smaller bowl and quicker heat up and cool down times.

Y'know, I need to take this thing outside. I bet it's a cinch under the trees. It's probably easy to use at a cafe table, etc.

Yup, I would think so. It matches really nicely with my Omni body and Simrell Stinger so it's a rugged vape to bring out and about. Plus it's really quick to straw load and hit it. It's definitely in my rotation.

Anyone else who bought a Convector early doors got a mysterious parcel from the Camouflet crew recently? I'm told one is on the way to me, but has yet to arrive (in the UK)
Yeah I'm waiting on mine

Hmmm. I got my Convector during the 4/20 BOGO deal. Is that early enough qualify?

I'm not sure exactly how it all works, but contact them. The early adopters phase may have been over by that time but it's worth finding out!

Aww...come on! 
... I bought mine off somebody who went for that BOGO Deal.
I want something cool too!
...just kidding! Nice move from camouflet to honor the early adaptors 
Unfortunately I'm not really one of those, since I didn't order directly from camouflet...had too many bad experiences with customs when ordering stuff from canada
But, I'm very curious!
... hopefully somebody shows them goodies

Hah. I'm waiting for the same thing--or for mine to land, whichever comes first!Aww...come on!

I promise to give away whatever I'm sent to the first person in the UK that asks. I was very lucky to get in early, and I have what I need for now. Genuine offer btw.
