I have basically a hard small pebble of wand hash, thrown into the kief collector of a 4-part grinder. Right now it's been collecting all that lovely THC whilst rolling around and catching itself on it. My question is, how do I go about vaping this? Should I first do a green layer, then some wand hash, another bit of green, and end with a top layer of hash + crank up the heat? Throughout this, I fear that the bud will burn, need guru advice.
Well, he posted in the DBV thread, so I'm gonna go out on a limb here....which vaporizer are you working with?
You don't need to turn the heat up very much. If your abv usually comes out chocolate to coffee colored don't turn it up at all but if it usually comes out more of a tan color you can turn it up a nudge to get some super thick hits. The sandwich effect works well ... a layer of flower then hash then another layer of flower.I have basically a hard small pebble of wand hash, thrown into the kief collector of a 4-part grinder.

Memo to self: read thread titles before responding
You know, in a sea of constantly evolving vaporizers, I still look back at all the time I spent using Da Budda (my first high quality vaporizer) and it definitely wins my heart over for consistency.
I may have benched this unit in lieu of my E-nano and Lotus, but it absolutely would be the very first vape I would pull out of storage if either of those two would fail. I also supppose the facts that I never used it as a whip vape (used a smaller diameter bowl into a dry micro bong) and that it's quite modified now from it's factory condition heavily influence my bias, but I can honestly say it is right on my E-nano's ass in every single category except warm up time, Buddha wins that one hands down. I dont know about the rest of you, but I found how to get vapor 30 seconds in from turning it on (really slow breathing combined with turning the dial slowly down from full as it warmed up). What can I say other than Da Buddha is my old faithful that never disappointed and will always be a part of my collection. Glass aside, this is one durable unit that has survived a plethora of unnecessary abuse with zero hiccups.
I think giving credit where credit is due is important, so my thanks go to the 7th floor lads for making my '08 unit work just as good today as it ever did.
Question for y'alls: do you ever find your wand "stuck" in the dbv heating cover? I find that mine gets really tight and stuck often, since I always turn the wand towards the right to securely fit the ground glass connection. Even at low heat like 1-2 ish, the glass seems more glued together haha, the wand and dbv.
YES I was just about to ask this exact same question! Is this because the ground glass expands as it gets hot? It is really annoying when it gets stuck and difficult to get out.
That could make sense it always gets stuck when not inhaling.I think that if you have a relaxed grip on the wand, but grip as much as you can with a dry hand, and then slowly twist toward the right while pulling the wand out of the heating cover while you're inhaling a vapor hoot works best.
Basically, as you inhale, it should be easier to take out the wand from the heating cover because the glass slit between the wand and cover should be exposed to air very briefly, but enough to cool down what's between the ground glass connection. Therefore, the cooled down glass should be easier to take out versus when it's super hot ground glass and you're trying to yank it out to avoid burning up material.
Well... that's just my theory, at least.
edit: and I find that hotter glass tends to stick to other glass more tightly than cold/neutral glass being fitted together. Maybe something molecular related on the properties of glass? Although glass is inherently random in it's molecular structure...
Completely forgot about the shims. Thanks for the heads up. Anyone know where to get them besides 7th floor? With shipping they're like $20, so I'd probably sooner MacGyver something, cheap though that may be.I actually purchased one, came in 2-3 days. It does not come with a shim either. 7th floor has just posted them on their main website you'll need to pick one up aswell.
I also purchased a silver before the black was posted haha no biggie I do like the inverted decal on the black a lot better.

No retention clip unfortunately, these units must be really old NOS. Thanks for the suggestion! Right now I'm sans shims and it's working fine... but obviously the heater cover is a bit wobbly.Hello VFTT ...
So, do you have the version where the heater cover is not secured with the "Retention Clip"?, I highly recommend a simple upgrade, I can't even imagine what I'd do, if I had to fiddle with the shims (Severe Arthritis & Super shaky due to muscle spasms),
Here is a video from 7th floor..
Hope this helps my friend
