I have the one that Charlie posted, never seen the other one before. I thought it was a well known old vape around here and was kinda surprised it aparantly isn't when I found this thread.
I ordered mine a while ago @ head&nature with one of my Ehle's as a 5 buck back up vape if I ever needed one. I really wanted a glass one but they only had the 18,8mm version of it and I only have 14,4mm glass and didn't feel like messing around with adapters. The Vapocane also looked interesting to me btw, but that was like ten times the price of this one so I left that one on the whish list for now.
I still haven't tried it out though, lol.
I just checked and it does match the thread on the metal downstem on one of my old cheap bongs (a Mojo bong, with a rubber or plastic cap as the bottom of the piece). Wouldn't recommend the bong, but I guess I could make the downstem work with a Ehle with a rubber grommet or something. I'm a bit worried about combusting in my Ehle (that's not for smoke!), so I may have to try it with the Mojo first.
I guess today is as good a day as any to try this thing out, I'll report back later on if I can get it to work, or not
edit:
K, tried it. The metal downstem was to short for the Ehle so I used the Mojo. I only tried it about ten times or so (one bowl) and didn't like it. Even though I sucked in the entire flame for 10 to 15 seconds at a time I could hardly get any vapor. It'll probably takes more practise, but I'm not gonna do it, sorry guys. The butane taste even overwhelmed the rubbery taste of the Mojo bong and combined it was just to much for me. I use ultra purified Ronson butane btw, so that isn't it. Couldn't try a torch though, mine just died on me last week and I'm to lazy to fix it atm. Perhaps I'll give the vapobowl another chance after I fixed the burner.
But, I guess this isn't for me. I better find me another back up vape, lol.
Oh, Abysmal, get a pair of tweezers ready when you try this out to handle the metal cap with when hot. Because, well, it gets hot
and another edit:
I figured I gave up to easily so I had another go. On the first try I only used about a Solo bowl of weed which is only enough to barely cover the screen of the vapobowl, so I doubled up, and even tripled it later on. Still not much vapor, yet my throat feels like I've been smoking now. It even tasted a bit like smoking at one point odd enough. The weed is still green though, and looks still fresh. I do feel a little head-high but it's very subtle and I'm not entirely sure if it's just from all the long inhales of hot (butane filled) air I took trying to get this thing to work. I may give it another try later on if a new idea pops up, but I think I'm gonna brush my teeth and empty a Solo bowl for now.
And yet, another edit has to be made:
I recently got another torch lighter and I just have to say, wow..
This thing is pretty awesome. I like it even better then my 200 Euro SSV and I only payed 5 bucks for this.
Think, fat clouds of vapour. And it just keeps going, hit after hit on just 0.15 grams or so. I don't get it, makes me wish I had just gotten a good torch lighter, a nice bong and one of these but a glass version (ordering one soon) back when I was converting from smoke to vapor (I say 'was', but I'm actually sort of still in the middle of the process), would have made everything so much easier.
I haven't even used my Solo today, nor wanted a joint. What is wrong with me?
...
), even with just a little bit of weed in the bowl. I can only take really small hits now otherwise it just gets to hot. Could this indicate that the hight of the inside of the bowl is perhaps a little less than that of the glass ones?
