so after receiving my new stopper (which i love... so much better than the barbell one) i have been testing it very heavily with my flowers. Yes i did say my flowers. why my flowers you ask?? the reason is simply, i have flowers all the time and i have oil/wax very rarely. this thing works awesome for oil/waxes. i still haven't found the perfect temp setting for oil/waxes but have been using between 12:00 and 3:00 settings.
when i first got this kit with the barbell stopper i had BIG issues trying to vape flowers. even at the highest setting i could just get wispy vapor and my meds didn't turn any colors. the barbell did not sit right and always fell over. there was gap if the barbell was not straight up that allowed air into the globe. needless to say i was quite disappointed cause it meant i had to keep switching heater covers back and forth depending what i wanted to vape. i have an older DBV that uses shims and spacers to hold the heater cover on and not clips like the newer DBV's. so switching heater covers were a pain in the @$$ as my shims and spacers were not the same either so those had to be swapped as well. i was told by 7th floor that i should not have to be swapping back and forth and i should be able to use the oil heater cover and stopper for flowers as well. this was not the case for me.
Chris from 7th floor was in contact with me the whole time and was excellent in his job. he told me a new stopper would fix the issue and sent one out when they were available. the new stopper came and i have spent the last few weeks testing. as i said before... for oil/wax there was and still is no issue. for flowers..... there is an improvement, i wont say it's perfect but i can now vape flowers again and not have to swap back to the original heater cover. i gat good vapor and my ABV comes out evenly cooked, not very dark like my solo gets it, but an even light tan/light brown.
here's the thing though, and why i say it's not perfect.... to vape flowers with this heater cover and stopper, i have to turn the temp up ALOT higher than i used to with the original heater cover. with the original, i set it at 10:00 to 11:00 and it would vape perfectly.... with the oil heater cover and stopper i have to have the temp set to 3:00. i would be close to combustion at that setting on the original heater cover. with the oil one, i get normal vapor.
has anyone else with this kit that uses it for flowers too, seen the same thing?? also.... do you leave the Ti cup in place even when using it for flowers?? i have been cause i usually forget to take it out and the thing is too hot to remove it. maybe thats why i have to have the temp up so high??
all in all, i like the kit and am glad i got it and like it even more now that i have a better stopper.
. Advantages of the dab kit IMO are that you can taste oil only.. + it gets less messy as when you mix with weed , also no screen to clog up + wand benefits reclaim . Ti nail also delivers more termal mass so you can easy vaporize more at once if you want.. Also concentrates can handle higher temps and still vaporize avoiding combustion leading to incredibly dense clouds... and the sweet adrenaline rush unachievable for people with very high tolerance
