Reminiscent of Abbott & Costello's skits. Very enjoyable.
@crownroyaldaddy, I picked up a quality brand at a cigar shop & it was even $2 cheaper than Amazon. So try local smoke shops. *I also picked up some great wooden cigar boxes which pleased me immensely.
OK, I received my 4/20 package on Monday & just had my 1st test-run w/ the 18M & it was a terrific experience. It provided just the perfect vape experience for me. Used a sativa & the resulting head is light, airy, smooth, easy. It's got just the right amount of airflow & no draw resistance whatsoever. The vapor is smooth & cool, & the flavor, mild. This is what I was hoping to accomplish by removing the condenser from the 17M & Omni. But the 18M does it to perfection.
For me, this is gonna be highly conducive for daytime use. For anyone who loves microdosing &/or a light, but solid, & smooth vapor & flavor, this is perfect. It is so smooth that you
almost don't need to use it through water to get rid of any harshness.
I do think DV is making a mistake by not keeping the 17M in their arsenol. It has a completely different effect from the 18M. The 17's vapor is thicker, has more intense flavor & produces a more stoned joint high. Sure, you can microdose with it -- maybe try removing the condenser (yeah, I just had to get that shameless plug in yet again!
), but, for my usage style, it's best suited for a more recreational stoned high.
Hi
@VapCap! I have an
. I say that both Ms should remain in your arsenol as both have their place. It would be easy to direct newcomers to the correct purchase based on their expectations. Serious joint smokers would be better suited with the 17M, where as microdosers or those who want more airflow & less draw resistance or who like their vapor through water could be directed to the 18M.
The only thing I'd change, which is what I'd change on all DV vcs, is carb hole placement because it's always been up way to high for my liking; just doesn't feel balanced. The top of the carb is positioned 1-1/4" down from the mp whereas it'd like it at around 1-3/4".
Anyway, this is my 1st enjoyable experience with the 18M & I'm looking forward to many more.
From now on I'm gonna refer to the 17M as the M1 & the 18M as M2. It's a frigg'n PITA to keep typing out the year over & over again.
If I ever get my hands around the neck of the guy who named the
Ghost MV-1.
Edited to add: If DV doesn't continue to sell the 17M, I think it's gonna go collectible status cause the 17M (M1) diehards are gonna continue to promote it over the 18M (M2). They're gonna get scooped up immediately on reddit's classifieds until their availability is few & far between, & expensive. They're gonna be coveted.
