I'll say a bit more now that I've been using the CouchLog for a few days...
I really like this vape. I was a big fan of the log format already, and this is a log on steroids. The heater really packs a punch. It feels like a heavy, but it's still got that classic log sense of efficiency. I've had incredible results using anywhere from .05g to .1g. Bowl is usually spent after a single big hit through water. I find myself preferring 6/10 on the dial in the early going. Heavy on clouds, but still offers good flavor. I started on 7 and it was a bit roasty for me. I'd likely risk combustion if I went much higher than that.
Aesthetically, the unit looks and feels great. I like that the heat shield is removable. Nice having direct access to the heater for cleaning if needed, and will also make it easy to condition the interior portion of the wood. The bloodwood on my CouchLog is beautiful and has a nice hand feel. Everything looks and feels high end. I like the press fit with o-rings for the heat shield and the bowl. The heater-to-bowl fit is awesome, feels very secure and "locks" into place nicely. The custom temp controller is cool and the magnets are another nice touch. I'm using one of the adhesive magnetic pads for the controller so it doesn't move around (it's lightweight and the cord is a bit stiff). I do wish the wood on the controller matched the unit and stem, maybe possible at some point?
Ease of use is everything you expect from a log. I'm surprised how small the unit is given how hard it hits. The wood never gets too hot to the touch, at least not around level 6. It seems to heat up fast, though I haven't tested exactly how fast. The heat retention is impressive, as shown in my cordless video above. I've been using it primarily on my bubbler so far, mostly because of how great the airflow is and how fun it is to milk up a piece with this thing. I plan to dive into more dry use soon. My early impression there is that the cooling pads do a decent job, but it's definitely an intense experience with that airflow! I should probably turn it down a bit for dry hits and see how good the flavor can really be.
So yeah, this vape is really cool and totally elevates the classic log experience. Nice work
