Long time lurker, first time poster here.
I got a walnut RCV18 a few months ago, and out of the vapes I have it probably had the toughest learning curve (found it more difficult than e.g., a hydrobrick w/o disks). Flavour was great, but I found it hard to stabilise that satisfying, flavourful hit sweet spot between nothing's happening and combustion, or at least singeing and hotspots. After a while I got dialled in well though, still had issues with hotspots. Inspecting the ABV fully it wasn't much (just a small ring (<1mm) of green weed around a crispy central hotspot), but still left me feeling like I hadn't gotten it down properly. Also, since you're meant to load the MP, no chance to stir after a few hits, because it'd just all drop out (unless I vape doing a handstand). Actually emailed Dreamwood, they were nice and helpful in their response, but essentially suggested readjusting the coils which seemed like too much hassle, so I tried another thing first - just dump my weed in the bowl (not the mouthpiece), flatten the bowl gauze out a little, go down with the watts, see what happens. Turns out, it works like a charm. I can mix it up every few hits, even by just shaking, my ABV is super even, it's easier to fill, no singeing or anything. I'm not a huge fan of killing a bowl in one go, which may even be possible, but I tend to get like 5-7ish nice draws.
As for the actual piece, I have a whole bunch of vapes, particularly addicted to the wooden ones, and it is absolutely a piece of art. Also a lot of cool stuff that you get with it, super cool vape for people who don't mind trying to figure a vape out, definite recommendation.
would be great to have some kind of coil like that (without hole).
