Wow this is an active thread. First week with my vrod and obviously can see why.
First things first, absolutely loving the vrod.
I seem to be enjoying slightly higher temps for now, 690-710 and usually capped, but I’m getting good fast extraction that’s fairly even.
Surprisingly (to me, at least) I prefer the glass bowl over the titanium, simply for the view of watching green turn to brown in 6 seconds, even though there’s no question in mind mind, titanium bowl is ultimately “better” / both have their place, and the glass gets dirty in 2 seconds.
Meeting the crew, seeing the shop, hanging for a bit with Edwyn, Chris, Lori... all super nice, passionate, knowledgeable people. Very enjoyable hang with Edwyn who was more than excited to show me around and talk shop while they prepared my order.
then I sped back to my house at a wildly unnecessary speed and got everything plugged in and... I don’t remember much after that. I couldn’t stop “experimenting” so I’ll just leave a few more initial thoughts here.
first... the enail/flowerpot desktop concept has, for me at least, turned a session into a way more “tunable” experience... Similar to espresso, tweaking the grind, dryness (of beans, or flower) draw/pull speed, piece... all in play here, happening quickly, for a concentrated jolt. I wanted a faster session and now I’m practically a goddamn herbbarista. I am absolutely enjoying the fiddling... best part is, it always works LOL.
ok next, buddy up top
@someTooL is like my vrod spirit animal. He’s like a week ahead of me and keep learning a bunch from his posts, so thanks for doing a lot of the footwork for me. I hate myself for not realizing the heat post can, and should, go in the center of the big stand like you have it, not off on the edge like I have it. You have your setup figured out nicely. I dig it.
finally: zan cruel not even going to bother tagging you, I know you’ll see this
you’re a madman. You’re a scientist. You’re a mad scientist. How ... how do you function? LOL it’s been a crazy first week.
Impressive shit all around guys.
side note - I reached out to Chris but I figure you guys might know as well...
**I just noticed a faint clicking noise from my coil/vrod head. That’s just power on/off to the coil from the controller, right ? I’m not gonna like... cause a short or any cause for concern, right? **
Lol cheers.
