I’ve started turning the temp down for larger loads lately. I used to run around 10.5v for everything, but now I’m going down to 10v or even high 9s. When I say larger, I mean .15-.2g range. This amount completely fills the screen trench more or less. I still grind most of the time, but also doing hand torn bowls here and there. The VapBong handles all of it, and I’m really enjoying the flavor and smoothness at lower voltage settings. Still produces plenty of vapor in this range.
I love how versatile this vape is! As an example, I turned the unit back up to 10.5v for a night cap last night. Loaded around .05g, just enough to cover the screen, and killed it with three short inhales in quick succession. I went for a fourth inhale, but there was no vapor to be found. No restriction, no fuss, just quick effortless extraction. Still able to blow some solid clouds even with very small amounts!
I’m three months into ownership now. I’ve used the VapBong pretty much every day since then. I feel confident saying this is the best vaporizer I’ve ever used.
Also, a quick note on maintenance: I’ve only cleaned the vape two or three times since I got it, and that was probably overkill. I really have not noticed any build up at all except on the downstem. The screens get dirty fairly quickly, but it’s very easy and cheap to swap those out. I change the water daily, never letting water sit overnight, and that seems to be enough for day to day maintenance. It’s been well over a month since my last full cleaning, and the unit really doesn’t smell much at all. I’m really surprised by how clean it seems to stay. I guess ceramic doesn’t attract reclaim as much as glass does? I should qualify this statement by saying I am a fairly light user. 1-2 bowls per night generally.
