OK Final thoughts on 'SQUIDGY HASH TEST RUN #1'.
I'd start at around 240'c (464'f) as I think the hash requires a higher heat than flower does. Still not sure if my Knight v2 was going above 250'c or not. Tha needs more testing.
The flavour is ok but not amazing although I'm using cheapo squidgy hash so it's never going to be all that amazing.
The effects are definitely noticeable, that small load I put in lasted me 90% of the evening.
I have no idea how I'm going to get the AVB'd hash unwelded from Dan's SS balls. Probably either an ISO soak or just torch it off. Open for suggestions here.
The atty is quite power hungry, mostly because you have to do a pre-heat and then long slow draws. I had under 1/4 of a battery left. Having said that, I was using a single 18650 so maybe a day's worth of vaping with 2x 18650's but YMMV.
The atomizer also gets really hot but the heatsink Dan has added seems to do a good job of dispersing the heat. Even in my side-by-side mod I never really noticed the mod getting anything more than warm. I even took the atomizer out to check.
At home my VapCap and induction heater still rules for both herb and hash as they are more convenient to use and produce more significant clouds. Out and about my GrassHopper (I got mine for $135 on pre-order but they are now $225) is amazing with flower and not bad at all with hash. However the GH's are over 4x the price of this and the batteries would need to be swapped more frequently.
I really need to get some rosin sorted out so I can see what this atomizer is really all about.
All in all I'm happy with the purchase, glad it fits my Knight V2.
Thanks @supershredderdan for the effort involved in producing this first run.
thanks for the feedback! sounds like a dual mod and some TCR tweaks are what you need to get good performance, I and a few other redditors were able to get thick and full hits off small amounts of shatter, not sure if that could be the hash but the flavor sounds like a tcr issue.
with a dual battery you can have a higher max voltage ( 40 watts needs around 6 volts) which helps keep up with faster draws past 450 or so. Really helps with the clouds
