@RogueGuy Those glass stems look incredably nice! congrats bro!
On another matter.......
Ive had my hydravong since last Thursday….long enough to get a feel for its performance. Yesterday, I took the ti tip and xl condenser off my Ti stem, and put it on the hydra, as I am used to using this configuration. ymmv, but these are my take aways. I am not a heavy hitter, with 67 yr old lungs. I dont use a waterpiece, so I didnt test in that regard.
With open airport, the draw resistance is minimal. It feels much like a normal inhalation, rather than a typical lung pull. The sense is of getting just air, but that is an illusion which is displaced when you notice the herbal effects.
George claims that a small increase in pull results in a vapor/air ratio increasing exponentially. I found this to be true. It is a noticeable, immediate, and surprising sensation - different and stronger than the effect one gets from typical rocking or feathering the previous airports.
Sliding the finger along the elongated airport works nicely, but I preferred the effect noted above, and felt no need to use this slide technique.
I am very pleased with the hydravong, and feel it definitely adds something beyond its cool aesthetic and tactile elements. Early on, I watched the review by Vapezone - I am surprised that he didnt notice and comment on the performance upgrade.
Have a good one, folks!
