Davinci Ascent or Crafty?

[Michel]

I take deep long draws with the mighty too and I just stop right before coughing (sometimes not ). Temperature is dropping nearly every time between 5 and 10 degrees. Crafty can't keep up at all, I have to let the unit heat up between draws most of the time. Usually I vape around 180 and 200 degrees and I stopped counting the number of draws because I was satisfied around 20 hits. I'm sharing one bowl sometimes like a joint with a second person. I vape top nugs like silver kush, bubba kush, la confidential, cannalope kush, la cannadential, super lemon haze, delahaze etc. so this might be an explanation. If you want I can count the total number of hits of one bowl. Don't think I am low tolerance or can't vape properly, smoked 5g a day before vaping, so I know MJ effects quite well

Don't understand how people can finish a bowl with 3 or 4 hits. They must have iron lungs or some type of superman genes ( please don't feel offended, can't simply understand how this is possible )

I think there are many factors. Since you are using it with a friend, you guys are constantly hitting it, while I let it sit (maybe cooking a lil from the small conductive properties). I get top shelf too and at times vary with the strain and grind. I get max 7-8 draws if conditions are perfect. On the mighty thread, I posted that I wished s&b made the mighty bowl bigger, just a lil bit. My temp drops more than 10 degrees on all my hits. I like the mighty because it packs a punch.

When I used to combust, my friends and I had huge lung capacities. Maybe because we all played competitive sports when we were younger. We can clear 4 foot bongs no problem. We actually nicknamed one guy "iron lung" because he can cash any size bowl we put in front of him (also a wu-tang clan reference).

Yea I don't think I'm smoking 'top shelf', but who knows... I also have a decent lung capacity. I also make the mighty drop 10 degrees with each draw, I STILL can't finish the bowl with a few hits (mmeaning no more visible vapor) I wish I could because it would make getting high at work A LOT faster

You misunderstood one part of my post or I wasn't clear. Most of the time I use the device by myself! I am medicating all day long but like to force guests to not combust when visiting my place. Just wanted to show that I can get enough draws to share with friends, even if the effects of one bowl aren't enough...
But I have to admit my bong smoking times are past since almost 10 years, I was combusting joints only so I can imagine people are hitting devices harder than me! It is much about user preferences and habits like you said already. I like to start at 200 degrees directly sometimes because it comes close to smoking a joint. Perhaps I should give water tools a try but like I said, I enjoy more vaporize like joint sessions than bong sessions...
I'm packing the bowl tight to increase the conduction effects with a not to coarse grind and packing more than advices the manual because I feel the bowl is slightly to small, too. 1.5 x the bowl size should be fine for me. Usually taking two bowls after another but want to reduce my tolerance further ( With wife and child I don't want to be illegal all the time and going out with weed in the car etc. only half the time if possible since I'm not in a legal state)

It also can be my grind. I use the Santa Cruz shredder and it leaves it much more fluffy than my 2 piece space case. I never weigh out the amount I'm using so I could be using less material than you. I never tamp down hard. I will take draws, and once I notice a decrease in vapor, I turn it off and take a cool down hit. Personally, I don't hit it until there is no vapor, I stop when taste diminishes and I see a drop in vapor. Too many variables to get an apples to apples comparison.
