My new Buddha
Welcome to the club.
My new Buddha
So the question is, does anybody else use a method similar to this with their Da Buddha?
So I'm sorry for the double post, but I have an awesome question! I've been trying many different methods for getting good pulls from Da Buddha. I'm played around with very slow draws and low temps, very fast short draws at extreme temps, and everything in between. Well not everything xD but a I have tried a lot in my short time of owning Da Buddha.
What I have determined to be my fav method however is this. I turn it up too 100%, I only load 0.1, ( weighed out each bowl ) and then instead of packing it at all in order to keep it from falling down I simply don't tilt it until I start to inhale. Then instead of putting the bowl all the way into the glass heat cover I usually put it in half way, or a little further then half way. This seems like an awesome way to control the heat, and it allows me to only draw at maybe slightly faster then medium speed instead of having to draw super fast cause of the high temp. Sense I am able to control the temp with the distance and amount of air coming in from the sides I get just as milky of a hit drawing this way without turning it darker at all until after around 3-4 hits.
I have to mention as well that I only keep the bowl vaping for a very short time. As soon as I see milky vapor moving through the whip for like 1 second I pull the bowl away. This is another bonus of never inserting the bowl fully as its no wear on the glass. Also when you have the bowl inserted fully, or even to where there is contact between the glass, then it can be a pain to remove quickly when vaping in this fashion without breaking the glass, or wearing it down quickly with added strain where you don't want it.
Even pulling it away so quickly I seem to get just as big of hits, if not bigger then if I had inhaled slowly for a much longer period of time at a much lower temp. Anyways this seems to be a good method for me that has an awesome balance between milky hits, good size hits, and making the bowl go far, as I get usually at least 8 powerful hits, then they fall off usually still getting 10 sometimes some more, and that's with just what I would call decent herb.

My friend had an issue just like that on his SSV, but the off position would randomly move along with the knob's position sometimes, and it would switch to full power from none, or flicker in and out sometimes- but he still got it to work.. Best thing really is just to send it in, he actually got a new wand and whip for free when they sent it back to him. Now that's customer service.Thanks to you all for all your wisdom.
I am a happy owner but have noticed a bit of erratic heating which seems to be getting worse. The light flickers and sometimes the heater will just cut out....I can still use it, and I am reluctant to send it to 7th floor as i am in NZ and its almost not worth it, plus its hard to fathom going without my DBV for a month or two. I remember reading someone having similar problems (cant find the post in this massive thread) and possibly fixing it themselves. I can solder but am no expert. If it is the case of simply switching out the heater dial pot I think I could do it.
I often will use the DBV in the car via an inverter and not sure if this could be a cause.
I have contacted 7th floor who promptly replied telling me they need to look at it.
I bought it from them via their "seconds" section on the website but I dont think they would ship an item that they knew was internally faulty.

Personal TV room = Enano
Party (More than 2) = Da Buddha (with 4 individual whips)
We'll all bring our own whip.
My very first vaporizer. I don't understand why it so often sits there off while I fuck with batteries and/or butane.
