Honestly, if you really do have a high tolerance, you should be fine to begin using concentrates, make sure to always start small, and I can directly speak to this because I've had two days experience with the Vrod NV SiC and can say it's got devastating effects when "twaxing".
But I'm not sure how evenly the dish is heated. Maybe there's something else going on that I haven't figured out yet, all I know is what's going on now. Using a laser temp gun, while my controller is on 750 (710life enail, reverse thread Vrod) it shows the surface temp of one side of the dish (where the coil enters) to be ~140F, and the direct opposite to be ~390F. Seriously a crazy discrepancy, also below the proper boiling point of terpenes. Still though, it seems to dab just fine, just doesn't seem to produce as much vapor as a quartz domeless enail, just seems like you're working a lot more to get full vaporization. My #1 speculation is that the coil isn't making full contact with the ramp underneath. I could be completely wrong, and I'm not sure how to check it because once the pieces are screwed together there's no wobbling or sliding going on, and seems in fact very solid. Anyone's advice or ideas on this issue are more than welcome! Anyone else use a laser gun to check the surface of the dish you're dabbing on, I think with all the other variables we could use that to help narrow things a bit. Or do you guys think that laser temp guns are worthless bs? For comparison btw, my daily drivers were the aforementioned domeless normally at 640 for trates and the FF2 for flower and I've laser temp gunned the quartz domeless at 400F.
None of this has mentioned the Vrod's performance for vaping flower, which there is no contest for those of us who own either a Vrod or SH. No vape holds a candle to this, in build quality fit and finish, as well as functionality. This is an amazing piece of work, but I do wish the dish got hotter and evenly. Maybe I haven't figured out the correct temp yet - perhaps heating it super hot and then letting it drop would be the best, that ensures the dish gets evenly heated to perform so no pooling occurs. At the moment it looks like a cast iron has gotten seasoned, and it will get a cleaning tomorrow first thing. Another thing is for sure, the FF2 will take a permanent back seat to the Vrod.
Huge props, tremendous respect to the New Vape inventors and team - true craftsmanship.
