Silicone is clean and dry but I never looked inside the glass of the chimney. I can see some tiny crumbs of hash were hoovered up and stuck the walls.How was your chimney/silicon in the top?
Update: It worked surprisingly well. I had a couple sessions at 455 and one at 555. Great flavor all around, nice instant vapor production. The flavor was so pure this way. None of that hempy rayon cotton aftertaste.
Clean up was easy. The higher 555 temp I found the material stuck a bit more but I’m not sure if it was the temp or if I may have overloaded a little and didn’t quite finish it all before I Q-tipped.
Straight up clean dry q-tips. No other helpers needed and it worked great. Mind you I had to use about 3 full ones each time as the hash gums them up quick but it wasn’t stubborn in anyway.
Next time im going to try breaking the q-tip in half and using the butt ends to shovel the spent material out then wipe with the cotton ends.
Thats a great tip. I was just holding the load over the bowl and expecting it to drip in like if it was a hot knife, but that did not really work so well. This is much better.@Razhumikin using the preheat, I always just placed a loading tool touching the oven and let the load drip in.
Yep. I start drawing just before it gets to temp. Halfway through the draw I feather the intakes slightly, back and forth, the airflow holes are angled and it moves the oil around a bit so it all vaporizes evenly.Do any Cricket users regularly use the holes as a carb to modulate airflow/draw resresistance
I'm considering that new Focus Aeris. But the carb holes on that thing look incredibly unergonomic to use. The holes on the Cricket look easier to use by comparison. Do any Cricket users regularly use the holes as a carb to modulate airflow/draw resistance?
You think that wasn’t one of the first thing I tried?
Still using the cricket every day and honestly its been a lifesaver for me over the last month. I am concerned though that i might be damaging the battery by using a fast charger, does anybody who knows more than I do about electronics know if this is a legitimate concern?

ty finally, this is the best explanation i've read that explains usb fast charging and the ability of the usb cables used by some of the vaps.Most well designed electronic devices ONLY draw the power they need. Therefore, the USB charger you use is not a factor, unless it has a low power output, like the tiny OG USB iPhone chargers, that were .5 amps. It will still charge the device, but super slow. Using a “fast” charger, which means it can deliver 2-3 amps, when the device calls for it, is great.
The Evolv CRICKET, has an approximately 850mAh internal lipo battery, and will ONLY DRAW less then 1 AMP. That’s the fastest charge you will get, no matter how many amps your FAST charger can deliver.
BEST WAY to know this, is by buying a USB charge meter, which I’ve posted multiple times….
Inexpensive, and will tell you exactly how many amps are being drawn continually, as well as how much capacity “mAh”, until battery is full. And something few are aware of, is the USB cable can be the WEAK LINK in your charging. NOT ALL USB cables are the same. Many are unmarked, so you don’t know they maybe the component that is actually LIMITING your charge rate. The USB METER, can show you if the USB CABLE is in fact a weak link. For example, I take a device like the new S&B Venty, which I know can take up to a 3 amp charge, and use one of my “FAST” USB chargers, that can deliver up to 3 amps. Then I test my various USB CABLES, and mark them with the charge rate they can deliver. Some cables can only only deliver 1 amp, which is ok, but most of the newer, good brand USB cables can handle 2-3 amps, only a USB meter can give you this important information! The meter is also another good way to SEE when your device is fully charged, as the charge rate on the meter will go lower, and then show ZERO AMPS, when charging is REALLY done, rather the trusting the lights on the device.
I don’t know, seems $24 to have all this charging information and more is worth it!
i charge, at 20% left and stop charging, at 95%@RustyOldNail thank you for this information, you seem like a wealth of knowledge for this to which I know very little.
While we have you: what would be the best behavior for prolonging battery life in terms of current capacity and charging? Running the battery to complete depletion, running to a certain "%", or something else?
Thanks!
here's a question, will this device show the total amps drawn or used by the vap itself.

This case fits the Cricket well. I was able to find a black one last week, but looks like they're down to green only now.I've been using this case that I bought on clearance through a dynavap sale. It works pretty well. It fits iso wipes, a charging cable, the cricket and qtip with some room to spare.
