Dr Dabber Switch 2

[rasmundi]

Thanks, many times the autistic mind speak is more than people want...

On the 3dxl I am speaking from pics only, where I spy that ceramic white bowl. Have they upgraded that surface with a glazed quartz coating? If so, that's a definite health upgrade, but glossy is lossy in terms of vapor quality, if you understand the physics. Since the Switch, I haven't needed to educate myself so much on other products, apologies if I misspoke...

Thanks for the factoid on the charging, from my subsequent research, that might actually be the best implementation of the pass-through scheme. A restriction point in the new smaller design is the built-in batteries and the power hungry bowl. I kinda think the ALN insert is delayed because it's going to drop dabs per charge to a alarmingly low level, I do hope I'm wrong, but physics again...

Looks like they released a couple of firmware updates with some new features like cool candy cane and deck the halls light shows, haptic on/off, a cleaning assist mode (low heat to loosen the insert, never been an issue for me but I guess if you flood it) and who knows what else under the hood! Took about 15 minutes.

I've had the Switch 2 for a couple weeks and this thing rocks. So easy to use and clean. Fantastic tasty hits which got even better with the quartz insert!

Wait until you try the sapphire insert!

The Dr. has arrived just in time to join the crew for the holidays

I've had this a few days now and it's been a blast testing it out. I’m running the Quartz insert, and I’ve been really impressed with how it replicates the banger experience. It holds heat incredibly well, and I’ve settled in at 465°F with a delayed descent. I’ll usually do 2-3 solid hits on steady, then kill the heat for some nice clean-up hits afterward. Seems to help keep any leftover residue from baking to the insert too much with the heat retention.

I had some family over for early holiday celebrations this weekend, fired up the candy cane lights from the latest fw update thanks @biohacker for the heads up! and 440°F was a big hit with everyone who tried it.

It’s super easy to break down and clean. The magnetic carb cap feels great to use, and Dr. Dabber did an excellent job with the precision fitting of the inserts. They don’t wobble or rotate too much while cleaning with a Q-tip, which makes it almost as convenient as an eRig with an embedded coil. I’ve used other eRigs with inserts, and constantly having to remove them with tweezers to clean gets old fast. With the Switch 2, it’s a breeze.

The vape signature on this has been my favourite part. Something is calming and grounding about it that I find really comforting, almost nostalgic in a way.

I like 460-470f for the flavour/vapour performance balance, but I’d like to get a bit more vapour density here. It could be that I prefer smaller dabs, but I think a pear paired with a spinner cap could help get me closer to the density I’m looking for.

Still honeymooning but I’m really enjoying the Switch 2. I’m going back to the lab for more testing

if you're looking for more flavor density, go for the sapphire as its surface is going to off-gas faster than the quartz, dosing the same dab size faster equals more density.

Honestly, for the subset of folk reading this forum, the sapphire should be included as stock and standard, with the quartz included only as an emergency replacement. Call it the "Forum Cut", available only with a forum code, maybe a small discount on the bundle so everyone feels special and such... lol

Is there any news of a polished sapphire (or SIC) on the horizon, I don't care about off-gassing faster, I just want easy to clean as I use rosin that can sometimes leave a bit behind and be hard to wipe up.
