Bet it's icy cool too!Thanks! It tastes super dreamy
So 2 months later I have aquired all parts needed to use the DBV and gave it a first few sessions with the baller mod installed.So I just scored a used da buddha on ebay for around 40 €. Only downside is it is just the unit itself. No mouthpieces or whatever it needs to function properly.
What do I need to get started?
Is this after it's good and heat-soaked? I usually have mine set to noon and a little before or after makes a big difference. If you turn it up to 3 o'clock and wait ten mins, does it seem more 'right' to you? If not, you may have a heater or dimmer issue. I can try this later, too, to have a datapoint for you.So 2 months later I have aquired all parts needed to use the DBV and gave it a first few sessions with the baller mod installed.
It definitely hits hard. Comparable to my also recently bought CC Omega.
I've only used it with the original DBV Wand (black) a original 7th floor hose (red) and the original glass mouth piece (black). I Like the all black/red colorway as my dbv is also black.
What's bugging me a bit is that it seems like it doesn't matter if I turn the knob half way up or all the way. Both settings give me a slightly glowing heater and brown ABV. Compared to the Omega or even Solo 3 it's way lighter in color. Solo and Omega give me almost black abv.
It will indeed. It's a really nice way to use it but I turn down a bit because closing that bit of distance makes a big difference.That doesn't quite match what I read about the DBV being able to combust at highest settings.
I've only loaded the wand - maybe it gets hotter/darker when I put like a basket screen in the wand as the herb will be closer to the heat?
You can, yes, but I think it would be too close for a hose adapter. But if you visit the angled adapter store on DH, the world will become your oyster. I think @TigoleBitties found a 90 degree one somewhere...Additionally I've some questions:
1) If I'm not mistaken I could use all 18/19 mm male joint connection glass, right? Or will it be too hot for the hose if I'd only use like a 18mm male/hose adapter for example?
The glass pathway wand is a must have for sure, ask for dimples if you don't mind waiting a week or two. The Saturn vapor tamer is awesome clipped to a mouthpiece. Also, 10, 14, and 19mm hose adapters are essential for waterpipes, j-hooks, etc. Hoses can be cut very short for more direct hits or to join your DBV with a specific waterpipe, etc.2) Are there any mentionable accessories I should look into?
Absolutely. I think they've got a SSV that's been running for like 20yrs. I think it's pretty low-draw, especially when sitting idle.3) Anybody know places where to buy replacement / custom knobs in europe?
4) Can I leave the unit on all day?
Enjoy! : )Thanks!

You're welcome! Happy you're enjoying it.Thank you so much.
Regarding the temperature settings - at what 'time' is the max setting supposed to be? Just to be clear we have similar settings.
I've set my knob pointing to around 4 oclock as the highest setting. At that temp I get dark brown abv. But I see only chances to combust when I'd pack the wand with a basket or sth which brings the material closer to the heatsource. I haven't tried that yet.
The glass heater cover gets so hot I can't touch it, just for reference.
I'll do some more 'testing' .
Thank you so much.
Hard to say because the dials come off and can be reset to anywhere, really, but mine bottoms out at about 5 o'clock.Regarding the temperature settings - at what 'time' is the max setting supposed to be? Just to be clear we have similar settings.
Ok, I set mine to 3 o'clock and went with an easy-to-clean direct path. I let it fully heat soak for like 30mins, put a small/decent load in the chamber (not basket screen) and took short, medium-strength pulls. To be honest I did my best to manage against combustion while still getting substantial hits. It's a friggin' beast. By necessity they were short pulls but very productive, really warm but manageable. I think I took 4 pulls here, each a very full hit. By the dry, crispy end I'm sure I could have combusted, but I was able to avoid that:I've set my knob pointing to around 4 oclock as the highest setting. At that temp I get dark brown abv.

Same. : )The glass heater cover gets so hot I can't touch it, just for reference.
It takes dedication and hard work to...what were we talking about again?I'll do some more 'testing' .
Yeah, it's so much fun and it's got pretty good flavor despite the hose. It was always a great, very effective vape but as a baller it's top-notch.What I really like about it is that it's so easy plug & play and seems to be full convection. I can just insert the wand, leave it there and take some pulls whenever I want.
