Since were sharing opinions...
Yes, wood density will effect heat retention/thermal properties quite a bit. That being said, almost any wood that Andy uses for the Nano will have enough thermal mass to drastically effect how the vaporizer acts. IMO, it really wouldn't matter what wood the Nano is made of (other than maybe Balsa wood or something), preheating the unit is a necessity for optimal operation.
All that said, I've no idea what kind of thermal properties plastic would hold in this regard.... but even if it works just as well... yuck. Fuck plastic.
Your obviously speaking from a recreational Stand point!
There are high tech plastic materials high resistant and strong as wood for 10% of the cost of wood.
I was just expressing the same great function at a lower cost so that medical patients might benefit.
Wood is beautiful and expensive when exotics are used.
Plus they can be labor intensive.
With the right plastic you can achieve the same result.
Expense is not an issue with me.
Looking out for the patient!
Sorry if I struck a nerve.
Cannabis is the HOLY GRAIL not devices!
We have different points of view obviously!
I work with exotics as
art pieces.
To me vaporizers are for medication!
I like the NANO a lot.
The size blows away vaporizers that cost more $.
Pairs with water tools the best!
I was just thinking about 2016 when cannabis prohibition is over!
Next time I have a wake & vake session with GSC I'll make sure to stay off this tread.
Enjoy your day!
@fregglepops D022 for NANO D020 for SOLO.
I use the D020 with the NANO however I add stuff to increase volume.
find what works for yoù?
