) I’ll keep y’all posted about the resultsI have a random simrell Blackwood stem with no port and it’s perfect for the couch log although the mvs is a bit cooler to the inhale.That was a suggestion from coolbreeze. Thank you @coolbreeze
The Camouflet tip fits perfectly like it was made for the CL.
I tried it with different stems and the Revolve Gen2 and the Simrell MVS are my favorites.
I'd recommend the bowl to anyone considering the CL. The stems are essential but the bowl is as well, I feel. The distance really helps manage the extra restriction of a water pipe, providing a more even roast. There's also the extra capacity, really great flavor, etc. I use the bowl (or the JoDa bowl) probably 90% of the time, fwiw. The glass stem is pretty sweet for smaller amounts/lower temps, with breath adjustments for closeness.
Yes! This is great too--very open, flavorful, great for low temp hits. A little more challenging to mate up on a waterpipe but works great once you line it up.That was a suggestion from coolbreeze. Thank you @coolbreeze

No, that's the CL "glass bowl" but do get that one! The JoDa Glassworks bowl is made by an FC glassblower @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd .
I think you kinda have to think about them as being two different uses. I turn down quite a bit when I go direct and I've learned to even the top rather than tamping and to pack a little less than full. I go through water most of the time but direct is just kind of its own fun thing to master.I have just now tried it using a glass injector bowl and a 14mm adapter I had laying around. Space between the heater and herb is more than doubled this way and holy shit it hits so much better this way! Ran it around 4, 4.5. I’ll still have to order a proper bowl though since this one is 18mm but the adapter makes the heated area smaller.
Is there anybody out there using the stainless bowl? Would’ve been great if it came with a glass injector bowl in my opinion, it completely opens up the vape. The stainless bowl reminds me of using a sticky brick with a thin 14mm downstem bong, there isn’t enough airflow so the margin of error between hot enough to vape and not hot enough to scorch becomes very small. Not saying the stainless bowl has low airflow but imo it has a similar small margin of error.
edit: or maybe a deeper ss bowl or a way to adjust the screen position or something. Just making suggestions here btw please don’t take these remarks as complaints. I’m very happy with it
I used to pretty much exclusively use a glass bowl but I bought a wood bowl from https://www.dfreezdesigns.com/ and it's really great. Wood is pretty indestructible and has nice insulating properties like glass.
I still use the SS bowl with a wooden pipe and screen mod. My glass bowl also has a screen mod and gets used regularly. Both mods push the herb closer to the heater, so it doesn’t matter which bowl I choose (SS, glass, or dyna tip), my temperature stays at 4.
Do you get cheaper shipping direct from 420eng? I’d buy one direct but it’s 35$ just for shipping.I’m EU based so probably won’t be ordering the joda bowl or from vgoodiesshipping is expensive
(I love my herbo but it was my intention to use the CL for a while)
I say keep at it and you'll get there! The stock bowl should really work the best until you get your hands on a nice glass injector that's made for the CL. I would go back to basics with the stock bowl and the wood mouthpiece but use the whole thing as your injector (turn it upside down into a female 14mm water piece). Make sure your seal is good.I’ve tried but I haven’t really hit my stride with it yet. When leaving the heater on for a while it seems too hot initially and underpowered after. As in, initial hit will scorch and I will have to take it off the bowl quickly, second hit won’t brown the material all the way.
If I don’t want the initial scorch I have to turn it down so much, like lower than 2.5, but then the subsequent hits are non existent.
This isn’t my first vape either. I’ve tried different inhaling speeds, different water tools, also an injector bowl I had lying around which works better but it’s still not ideal.
It works but my roast is uneven too. I will try to play with it some more but it has been easier to grab the Dani tbh, I even powered the herbo back on
Is that the new big boy XL? She's a beauty.Hope you all are enjoying the holiday weekend. Cheers!
You have to use that code and the controller works for both. Pretty sure the one pictured there is the OG 14mm.
It's the OG. Are you thinking about the XL? I'll get there one day, for sure. : )
Yeah, this one is on all day, goes off with the lights. Yes as far as I know.
Oh ok. I have thought about the XL
... but right now my VAS is very satisfied.Nice. Ok cool. @EarthworldTim was nice enough to explain how to just get the XL log if I want to.
. I used the tinymight for a while before expanding my collection to include a couchlog, but I’m finding myself frustrated with the size of the bowl that comes with the wooden stem. I’m a little overwhelmed by all the alternate possibilities… is there a glass stem with an adjustable bowl, like the tinymight, that can be used with the couchlog? I’ve heard the E-nano XL stems work, has anyone tried that out? Also I see this glass bowl linked above - this looks like it sits in a water piece, which I might also be interested in trying… any tips? Apologies for all the dumb questions, thank you all so much for your help!
