Have received a lot of inquiries and requests for instructions for the mod V2. So have decided to post them here... these instructions were written for the complete kit which contains both 14mm and 18mm components. (To those who ordered partial kits, only applicable parts of these instructions apply)
===========================================================================
DDave Mod & DDave Mini Mod Kit Instructions
Now including the "DDave Mini Mod" Adapter and Wand (for herb-conserving sessions)
Each Complete Kit includes:
The Original DDave Adapter - 18mm F/F that accommodates a screen. (Plus 3 screens).
An 18mm Clear Borosilicate glass wand + 3 tip basket SS screens
The DDave Mini Adapter - 14mm to 18mm F/F adapter that accommodates a screen. (Plus 3 screens).
An 14mm Clear Borosilicate glass wand + 3 tip basket SS screens
An 18mm & 14mm Tall DDave adapter. (for a limited time).
A test tube clamp - the perfect holder for a hot adapter!
Wood block adapter holder (for a limited time) - untreated, holds hot adapters, poker (not included)
& wand
Two Whip Tubes - 2.5 feet long each
Please note, these wands do not accommodate the internal screens you've seen described in the DDave Mod information online. This is a later update to the DDave Mod which was found to be an improvement over the previous release, as your product sits even closer to the heater than if housed inside the wand itself. See the below instructions for suggested operating methods.
Instructions:
There are two methods to using the new DDave Mod. Power and Smooth. Each are described below.
Power Session Mode: In this mode, you will pack the basket screen with your product, lightly tamping it down so it stays in place when you insert the wand into the DDave Adapter. This works with both the DDave Standard Adapter and DDave Mini Adapter. This method can be directly compared to the "Elbow Pack" method mentioned when using the Arizer Elbow and associated basket screen. For ease of loading, simply vacuum up the herb by drawing on the whip then tamp down when the basket screen is filled to desired level. Then insert in a preheated tower / DDave adapter and enjoy your session.
Smooth Session Mode: In this mode, you will use either the DDave Standard Adapter or the DDave Mini Adapter to hold your product. Ensure your product quantities are of volume so that the product moves freely within the adapter during an inhale. Load product directly into the DDave Adapter (either Standard or Mini) A slow draw will give you an lighter hit, which will be a bit more flavorful. You will also get more of these light hits per product load. If you hit it a bit heavier, you will obtain results a bit closer to the Power method above, as you will force your product to compress itself into the basked screen while drawing.
Tall Adapters: Included for lighter, more flavorful sessions. Herb will be approx same distance from heater as with stock Cyclone bowl, but without the wobbly center screen and without the center ring restricting airflow.
Don't forget to use the included Clamp to remove and/or hold any hot pieces of glass included in the kit during your session... loading or unloading product. Also, you can remove any of the DDave Adapters hot and place them directly into the wooden holder provided. Your furniture will be safe.. The wood will not burn. The clamp can be left in place during a session, even if clamped to a hot DDave Adapter, it does not become hot enough to burn. However, to avoid accidents, by bumping into the clamp and possibly knocking over your vaporizer, this is not advised.
There are four large holes drilled into the wooden holder. To accommodate the DDave Adapters included in your set.. Also accommodates a hot wand during your sessions, so you may temporarily store the hot-tipped wand while loading your adapters.. or you can allow you wand to cool so you can reload it's basket screen (if using Power Mode). There are also one small hole drilled into this adapter to house your poker or stirring tool.
Heat Disclaimer: During use of the DDave Mod, as with any heated vaporizer components or add-ons, care must be taken to avoid being burned! We all have different tolerances, to heat (and other things), so using personal best judgement is advised and properly warning guests of this would probably be appreciated as well. Glass gets hot!
