Well I bought my coil from Vgoodiez, and he stretched it before he shipped it to me. My previous coil that I was running at 730 eventually started to have big jumps in temp (like 50-100 on the PID). This coil has been locked at 820, it drops after I hit it but it never has gone above 822, and drops back down in temp in a few seconds. It actually preforms more consistently than my previous coil. I have the Auber RDK-200 PID, and I was thinking about grabbing the 300 from Vgoodiez as well when I get the b1, but I'd rather not spend the extra money if I didn't have to (why I got the 200 in the first place lol).

I do the 777 one hit with the WeedEater. I now have a B1 and 575 to 635 works for me.

Got a cap for the WeedEater, but the B1 came the same day. So I have not used it yet.

3mm B1 vs capped Weedeater, it's a virtual tie. Went back to the Weedeater last night after spending a solid week with the B1, wanted to see if I would notice a drop of performance and go back to the B1 right away, no such thing happened. A capped Weedeater delivers hits comparable to the B1 and maybe even a little faster, the B1 wins on temperature and no cap but I find the vapor quality and intensity almost the same, neither one irritates my throat or makes me cough when run at 565 and 605 respectively. I next want to try 4mm balls in the B1, both capped and uncapped, I am hoping to find a new sweet spot @ 575 - 585.

Damn, really wishing I didn't miss the black Friday sale for my first CH unit. This B1 looks really special!

I just can't get enough of the B-1, it smashes me every night. I havent had any inclination to try the 4mm balls (though I will eventually) because the 3mm work so well. Two massive hits to kill a full bowl @325°C/617°F is incredible imo and a couple of those back-to-back hit me like a freight train. There's nothing like watching Home Alone after a good Flowerpot session .

OK, to report on the WeedEater with a cap.

I took the B1 off the coil. I put the weedeater on and used all the same equipment.

I left the Auber on 625 where it had been for the B1.

Using the Universal cap, I left it on the head as it warmed up.

First hit, not much vapor. Slowed down draw and not much different.
Next hit much better, but I still can over draw the WeedEater.
I turned the Auber to 650 and finished the bowl.

After cooling I removed the WeedEater and put the B1 back on stuffing a few more 3mm balls in there.

B1 from now on.

This is so different from my experience, I use an 18mm glass bowl on top of a DO20 9 inch bubler with a splitter and a dropdown. The first hit with a capped Weedeater can be thim, it really depends on how long you leave the head on before taking it. I normally wait 30-60 seconds for the first hit and get a much richer hit because of the added conduction. I guess I try to achieve max conduction and convection to get instant vapor and take 2-3 second hits. I also keep the head on an empty bowl so it stays hot. I use the same approach with the B1 and get similar results.

I also switched to new 4mm ruby balls 2 nights ago, felt an improvement in flavor for the first few hits but then I find that flavor always improves when you switch heads or balls, at least for a day. I like the 4mm balls for my style of vaping, I increased temp to 575 and actually find that the material chars less than at 565 with the 3mm balls. I also find that I can now smell better when the first hit is ready, the 3mm balls trap the vapor much more. Once again, I find that the carb cap adds little to nothing, especially once the bowl is nice and hot.

I'm the same, about 5-6 seconds. My lungs are full of dense vapor after that so it takes me another pull to clear the glass. I started hitting my B-1 the other day right as it reached temp and I was getting incredibly terpy hits.

SEARCH for the treasure...
Draw times and draw resistance, very important ingredients with convection style vapes. Learned this early on after COMBUSTING a few times. For beginners to convection, just remember... SLOW and restrictive = more HEAT on the load. FAST = COOLER temps over the load. Restriction plays a role on your draw so it’s in combination. I didn’t know this when I started... but became obvious, that I am PART of the delivery system.

I draw about 10-12 seconds at 565f with the moderate restriction of the B1 loaded with 3mm balls.
So for those that draw in 5 seconds, to attempt a full extraction, the temperature needs to be higher.
Most are also not mentioning the load size, which is of course a large contributing factor. Some say “full bowl”. Ok, what bowl?
For me it’s easier to state the AMOUNT and what GRIND SIZE. I don’t weigh, just use a level 1/8th teaspoon, which is close to a “.1” gram, same as the CH “Pax scoop”. For the CH Titanium “Shovelhead bowl”, I use BCG MED/FINE GRIND 1 or 2 “scoops”, depending on my desired results. Most of the CH videos demonstrate using a “.1” scoop, and Edwyn says: “just enough to cover the shovelhead screen.” That’s kind of the demo standard he uses with a fine grind.

My variables are exactly the same.

I use the pax scoop, and I have found that with 1 or 2 scoops I get the same 2 good hits, maybe a wispy 3rd with the 2 scoops. But I do notice a difference in effect. Is that your experience as well or do you get more hits with more material?

I loaded up a big one, for me, this evening. Probably 3 pax scoops. I rarely load this much. The B-1 almost had me combusted at 585. I tore through it in two very fast rips. Swear to god, I’ve never combusted with the FP. I’ve been back and forth with heads lately. I’m definitely a B-1 guy at the moment.

Just got my B1 today and it's such a massive upgrade on the WeedEater, I'm honestly pretty shocked Don't get me wrong, I liked my WeedEater, but I had to run it between 650-680 WITH a carb cap to get a nice milky rip. With the B1, I set things to 600 with no carb cap and get better hits that hit much smoother because the temp isn't as high. I honestly could run it slightly cooler. I am beyond impressed - I had pretty much stopped using the WeedEater in favor of my T Bucket due to the fidgetiness of the process. Easier, better hits, smoother hits, perfection. Add in the heat shield and you have yourself a much better and safer experience :)

I use a plastic lab spatula which has a wide opening, I load the Plusplus glass bowl to the rim, about 3-4 scoops that equal .25 -.3 g. What we all fail to take into consideration is the nature and quality of the material we are using, high THC strains produce twice the vapor of more balanced 1:1 strains which I prefer. My typical blended bowl yields about 1 quality hit per scoop, but when I switch to a high THC strain that number doubles. Still rolling with the 4mm balls for now.
