I tried IH vs torch (zippo torch - similar to blazer Firefox)
Both work great…
Wand IH takes longer (you need between 60 sec and 90 sec till first click) then with torch… with torch you need between 20 sec and 30 sec till first click ( I aimed where the gap is, above the heating element which you normally aim for rtl…)
I would say cloud size and amount is very similar , maybe you get one more cloud with the torch.. I use the half size bawl and get 5 more or less good clouds native out of this size of bowl…
Also with the wand Ih my first cloud is bigger then with torch… In my opinion. The wand heats all the heating elements and with the torch heat is building up slower (till it reaches the tip)…
Taste wise I am not sure which tastes better… have to experiment more and need more practice with the torch… but first of I thought wand ih tastes better.. but maybe my torch technique is not the best as mentioned before…
BTW I put the wand on a ceramic plate, then put the anvil inside the wand, so the anvil tip stays on the ceramic plate (hands free) till the first click…
How do you torch your anvil?
Where?
Flame length?
Is it better to heat it fast (big flame - shorter time till first click) or slower (smaller flame - longer time till first click)?
I like clouds but also good taste…
RTL for me does taste to roasted…
@Grass Yes I have the duracore anvil I remember that I read somewhere that the duracore works better with IH then the og anvil… could it be that you have because of this a different experience with IH heating the anvil?
