Now that Mr. G has showed me the path of the carburetor, I can create little clouds and sip ; medium clouds and barely hold on or huge clouds and cough may head off.
Welcome to the club. I might suggest to Tommy that he put these carb tips in the user manual, everyone who's reported trying it seems to have the same experience - it makes controlling the vapor MUCH easier. I don't know for a fact, but I also think it helps prevent combustion as you can quickly reduce the temp by uncovering the carb and adding more fresh air to bowl, I think I've dodged the burn many times.
For you lazy lurkers that don't want to go back and read....
Many have found the best way to use Daisy (and Lily) is to keep the carb covered to start and then "tap" on the carb hole once you hit vapor temp, about a few seconds in. You can tap at a slow pace or a quick one, you'll likely do both once you get the hang of it. Once you hit your "whistle sweet spot" tapping the carb does the following:
- it allows you to control the temperature of the heated air, which will make your vapor thicker or thinner. On the large lung busters, it helps to have cool air shoot in as you tap tap tap, it makes the vapor smoother and less chance of coughing.
- allows you to see the vapor production more easily in the glass neck as you empty and fill it repeatedly with vapor with each tap, this greatly helps you see how much vapor you're inhaling, experienced vaporists know the importance of this feedback.
- prevents combustion, if you sense the temp getting close to that point, you uncover the carb and let cool air stop the risk of a red cherry, be aware, keeping the carb covered too long may have the opposite effect.
