So, I will describe in more detail my impressions and thoughts about FATX after actual use. This is going to be a long post, sorry.
Warning – this is my personal opinion, I'm not imposing anything on anyone!
Preface – before FATX, I tried many different vapes and left only 2 in my arsenal – one from a well-known company that makes clicking mechanical vapes and the second electronic from a well-known Finnish company.
For me, these are top-class devices, due to the absence of plastic, but the main thing is the ability to work at high temperatures. This ranges from 220 °C and is capable of heating a flower up to 260 °C to the verge of pyrolysis, or even higher (for a short time).
Most plastic vapes have an upper threshold of 220 °C, and I think this is no coincidence, because heating up higher carries the risk of melting the device.
In addition, vaping at high temperatures is stigmatized (in my opinion) and is most often perceived as something not very useful, close to gorenje. I don't want to start a debate on this here, but I'm just trying to make my approach to choosing a vape clear.
PERSONALLY, MY EXPERIENCE suggests that vaping is best suited for me in one session with a single high-temperature heating to 240-260 ° C with a microdose of 0.02 grams of flower (high-quality raw materials) and one long puff. Lower temperatures lead to the need to increase the number of flowers by about 5 times (!!), and the effect is very fast in duration and there is a constant need to vape over and over again.
I do not know why it works this way, but I have repeatedly realized for myself that if a blow is needed, then you need to heat as quickly as possible to the verge of pyrolysis. At the same time, there will be no taste at all, that's right. But it will have a strong and lasting effect!
Given my extreme preferences, the capsules help me accurately measure the amount of material loaded into the capsule by weight, and standardize the amount of substance for each time. Like in a pharmacy))
Before testing FATX, I had doubts that it would suit me.…After all, his temperature has a limit of 226 °C. But also, I found out that it has an "unregulated heating" mode, which was the main hope.
Tests FATX. So, last night I used 3 metal capsules of 0.02 grams each. I set the task to figure out if this device is for me or not. To do this, it must be tested at maximum temperatures, which is why I made the preface above. I immediately decided to warm up for at least 30 seconds, considering that it takes longer to heat the metal chamber.
1) The first capsule was heated at a maximum of 226 °C (440 Fahrenheit). I pressed the heating button and after the "heated" signal, I held the button for 30 seconds and then started pulling, the puff was for 10-15 seconds, after which I turned off FATX. I immediately felt the beginning effect, which was average in strength and lasted about 15 minutes and then began to decline. The flower in the capsule was dark gold in color. I was a little dissatisfied with the result... I realized that the effect started out great, but it didn't last very long. The realization was maturing in my head that this level of heating was not mine…I started going through the list of friends to whom I can resell my FATX)))))
2) 30 minutes after the first capsule, I started warming the second capsule with 0.02 grams. But already in an unregulated power mode. I pressed the heating button 4 times and 5 more times and started holding it, and after the "heated" signal, I held the button for 30 seconds and then started pulling, removing my finger from the button. The puff lasted 10-15 seconds. I didn't feel much of an effect, it just "lifted" me up. The flower in the capsule was on the verge of pyrolysis.
3) 30 minutes after the second capsule, I began to heat the third capsule with 0.02 grams in an unregulated power mode, but WITHOUT RELEASING the heating BUTTON all the time while I take a puff. The puff lasted 10-15 seconds. The flower in the capsule was on the verge of pyrolysis (pictured).
And here the unexpected began.... For 20 minutes I was on the verge of "oh oh oh"... I started walking quickly across my lawn (it's common when I'm very "hot") and already started thinking about the following methods of sobering up -drinking tea or fizzy drink with vitamin C. I realized that I had received an unexpectedly strong effect, which I would rate as a "6" on a 5-point system, where "5" means "I feel good and don't need more yet," and "9" means "I'm afraid I'm going to pass out now."
After 20 minutes, the unpleasant manifestations of the effect went away and a stable, strong, pleasant and relaxing buzz effect came... the effect was so good that my mood probably improved significantly for the first month, and the nervousness that accompanied me all day evaporated. ..I had a delicious meal and then blissfully lay on the couch, enjoying those strong warm notes of the effect. Taking dinner did not bring down the effect, and moreover, the effect began to increase, and even after almost 2 hours (!!) I just lay on the couch realizing that I was very hot and I no longer needed to use the flower today))) the 4th capsule, which I charged into FATX just in case -so and she stayed lying in it. I took a picture of the FATX today with this unused capsule inside.
Thus, FATX is added to my top three devices! It is definitely in second place in this top three in terms of effect strength, and in terms of convenience - in the first!
Summary of FATX Strengths :
1) The ability to operate at high temperatures to maximize the effect! You can go above 220 °C , or 170 °C to enjoy the taste.
2) Top-class performance! It will hit at high temperatures for a couple of hours (and this is a very long time) or will please the taste at a low temperature. At the same time, the Molicel P 30B accumulator shows 4 vibration tones at the end of the evening, that is, the maximum charge level (?!)
3) Lightweight and compact!! My other 2 top devices are one very heavy..., the second requires an induction heater weighing under 0.5 kg..
4) All-in-one system - there is everything in one small device, including a flower for the whole evening and more!! – not a single vape of my top three can boast of this!
5) Incredibly beautiful, the body is made of REAL wood, and the inner path is made of ceramics and glass!
6) The author's work, the craftiness of the device, excellent support from the manufacturer!
7) The possibility to use metal capsules (but complex modification of the capsule is required)
About the capsules. The capsule works as I planned - the shortened version of the Hyperdyn capsule fits perfectly into the FATX bowl and creates an additional conduction effect, allowing you to keep the bowl of the device CLEAN and control the amount of material used with high precision. But the capsule won't hold much material.. If you have a high tolerance, this will not work for you.
In terms of drawing technique, it solves everything! The temperature level is important, how long you keep warm and how much you pull! I assume that slow intake of air from the heating chamber will enhance the effect. This can be achieved by using the rod from the Dynavap components, when a free volume of air from the rod airport enters the puff, which does not pass through the FATX heating chamber, but is mixed at the outlet, at the mouthpiece. In this case, it turns out that the hot air from the heating chamber comes very slowly, as if it is captured by the flow from the rod airport .This will further enhance the conductive effect, and the temperature in the bowl will remain consistently high, extracting all full-spectrum cannabinoids. That is, you can make a Dynavap-type system, and anyone who uses a Dynavap capacitor that is adjustable in output will understand. But it needs to be checked and experimented with.
Sorry for the long comment. I hope this will be useful to someone. Buying FATX is one of the best purchases that a lover of "flowers" can make.
