I have an opportunity to trade my woodscents for a g43. Would you guys say it’s worth it or should I keep my woodscents?

I don't have a Woodscents but I will say that using the G43 natively, I find it works best with loads around .15g, no less
These days I tend to mostly vape 0.03 to 0.1g so the G rarely gets used at the moment. Might be a factor to consider depending upon your dosage habits.

That would depend on what ritual you will enjoy more. I reserve my G use for when I want to get super high on very expensive and tasty herb. I just don't enjoy cleaning it. My enano is a work horse but I often out grow it. It's all about how fast I can load and unload to get the high I'm looking for. If my tolerance is high, I just can't keep up. In a situation like that my G gets it done.

There are trade offs with each. Only you can decide. I know I might be killed for this but I prefer my E43 over my G43's. So there's that.

You have a extensive vape collection, missing the G? i think new Gs are not available only used ones...

Get a grip....you should have been permabanned years ago. Instead of going behind Bud's back to criticize him....and push your dispicable snark about Hazel's weight....you should be grateful that he put up with your crap for so long.

Thanks, the G43 looks really interesting. I really like trying new things DD's right now are VapBong, VROD, Tafee, P80, Rio Make Over, and Tsunami, and my logs. I love using different 510s from time to time though.

I was able to snag one in the classifieds here acting quick! I did notice another posted on the vape life forum recently and I think they pop up on Reddit ent exchange on occasion as well... Should have it in a few days!

I don't know too much about it, so I guess I should be reading through this thread, I have 3 mm rubies so I was planning to do that swap for one thing! No idea what wattage to use, was thinking I might want to try having the bowl be separate from the heater piece though, like in a 18 female to male?

11 watts with a 10 minute pre heat if I remember correctly. I have a wall G too and I will use it injector style around 12 or 12.5. some say the there is a harsh flavor if you go that high with the watts and use it injector style. I don't ever make the coil glow. That's too high.

It might also depend on the mod and which G43 you have since they are handmade and all a little different. I didn't use mine a ton, but I wouldn't start higher than 10.5 for your first run, and give it about 5 minutes to heat up. I tried it injector style, but it depends on how much material you use, and how far away it is from the heater. I used a higher wattage, but don't remember exactly what. Labpong is the expert on injector style.

Thanks dude! Is "injector style" what I described with the bowl separate? Looks like it may arrive tomorrow already, exciting!

 

[highasakite]

Yes, injector is with the weed in a separate bowl instead of in the G43. Labpong likes it that way, test it out.

Thanks again! Working great so far

First bowl of mixed strawberry mimosa thc and strawberry cake cbd, warmed it up at 10.5w then loaded pretty full fairly fine, lowered to 10w at one point, through jayhook. Pretty nice first go!

^Collyland ceramic herb loading dish works well as a stand for a hot G43, found of this bowl to try injector style too (rogue wax works tools too btw)

^but first another bowl standard style, pre loaded this time before heat up at 10w, some nice blueberry gelato fairly coarse more moist, and it brought flavor out of it I haven't got from others, all the blueberry I was missing (before was only getting the dank gelato lol)

^oh yeah, this works too, at 12w and eventually lowered to 11.3 I think

^this is after several hits, stirring between each one though

Afterwards I loaded less, just enough to cover the screen and fill the part of the bowl where it narrows. Then I got the flavor back again, and I could avoid stirring every hit this way with a slower draw as well. I was using the heater at 11.8 watts last I think, need to play around with that more, probably read through here and see what @LabPong and others were using...

All in all very happy with this purchase, and wish I had gotten one long ago! I definitely think I'm going to be sticking with the injector style for my personal preferences, though I do want to try an ELB if I could remember where I put mine!

Oh I also wanted to swap boro beads for 3 mm rubies that I have already, is there anything to be concerned about there or is it as simple as pulling out the screens dumping the glass beads and pouring in my rubies??

Wondering hoping they might lead to better performance injector style as well, I don't know he retention etc if they could require different wattage or whatever, but I definitely don't want to risk glass breakage either of course! Just want an R43

Oh also single battery, I mean I'm still getting used to it so I wasn't doing very efficient usage, but burns through the battery quick, so I may be switching to one of my dual battery mods sooner than later (I see the benefit of surmyevic with the infinity auto fire so I think I'm just going to do some swapping and get it on gen3dual eventually)

Shout out to Bud, he provided a very effective simple pure convection vape at what was an extremely reasonable price I believe? It's a shame he could not keep it going, I mean given everything going on he got out clean I suppose? I don't really know much details as I never followed him really, but the G43 is a beast to be sure!!

Glad to hear it's working great and you're enjoying it.

I don't think I'm much help as far as your questions go...
I think Bud eventually posted instructions for replacing the balls, but the videos are all private now - The G43 Vaporizer Official Thread
Then I googled and found this, but it just links to the missing videos - G43 with rubies

If you can somehow contact Bud, he could probably send you the videos, but I'm not sure how easy that is.

I also think I tried my 2/3 battery mod with the G43, but I can't remember the details because I sold the mod with a different vape and exclusively used the P80 with the G43. Can't remember if I got the software to work correctly.....did more searching and found this - Best Buds uses Gen3 dual

Edit: Another - Hippie and Labpong weigh in

I just got my hands on a g43 mod! Super excited, it’s definitely a little beat up but it still works great after its first total run.

Damn yours looks in great shape! Nice snag! I’m a little jelly how mine looks like it’s been beat up and yours is practically a virgin .

Well, don't be shy share some photos of yours anyway! Haha nice for it to be worn in, you don't have to baby it I guess? Mine hasn't been heavily used fortunately, well maintained, fits my own style of keeping things clean (with as little cleaning for as long as possible)

I feel hesitant to load the standard style because of this, I finally found my ELB and unfortunately it did not fit... So instead I used two basket screens, one crushed into a cap, creating a small capsule I was using with tetra and splinter before, actually worked pretty well at 11 watts through a hydrotube (yeah I'm going to need to switch to bubbler from jayhook, I think that is more proper use of this, ripping!)

So I've done some standard bowls I just feel a little wary, once I remove the glass beads and replace with the rubies, I don't think I will load the bowl standard anymore, I will maybe use these capsules or more just load the separate bowl "injector style" using higher wattage... Rubies could probably help there for more heat, and maybe I can get a larger screen in further up in the bowl I have (or get another one, I have a 18 female to 14 male adapter, but it is at an angle so I'm not sure it would be ideal to use as a bowl)

Yeah I can see how maybe continuing to use the P80 with just one battery can be more efficient, not going to switch to the gen3 dual for a while I don't think... Fun stuff for sure, much more to come!

 

[Spike11552]

I haven’t taken pictures of it yet myself but this was the pictures/video the guy snapped for me before I said I’ll buy it.

https://imgur.com/a/GPWgsO8

It seems to have burn marks up where it looks dirty which I wasn’t thrilled about but I didn’t think my chances of snagging another would be to likely so I jumped on it on


I only gave it one test run because I’ve been on a vape buying spree and I haven’t had it in me yet to tell my lady I spent money to buy another vape smoking device(haha)

I also used it in a jhook from OGB (I think the one you recommended)

update: now that my elev8r piece works I was able to use my 14mm sidecar matrix AWESOMEEEEE

[Shit Snacks]

Not too bad @Spike11552! Yep that is the ogb sidecar hook I see there So yeah I too have been fully smitten with using the separate bowl now, that is a nice one, the 18 to 14, I may need to invest in another...

I did try loading the standard way, using the hydro tube, not loading too much either, but I don't know it just wasn't quite as enjoyable for me though pretty cool and certainly effective! So now I am once again using it "injector style" through inline honeycomb bubbler rig and I think this is the proper way:

As I learned with my early pure convection days using the lsv and underdog, this style was the best for consistent deep steady long inhale for big ripping hits... Pretty cool this way to be able to watch the herbs vaporizing and changing color so you know when to lift the heater! Also super easy to stir between hits and empty spent bowls...

All around just simpler handling for me I think, still more honing in to do, and yeah going to do that ruby swap at some point, which should help providing more heat since the heater is further away from the herbs this way?? 12 watts seems to be fine, but it does burn through the battery real fast... Regardless it is pretty fucking potent!!

What make is that honeycomb bubbler? And how how can one push a modded g43? I haven’t gone above 12 myself but I’m curious. The ruby beads make even more of a difference In heat eh? I’m so new to using glass beads and heavy hitting desktops. I got my elev8r for 420 used it with a torch and it’s nice (deff not fully mastered with a torch at all) since the g43 came so soon after and I lost my concentration. But I’ve been kicking around the idea of getting a nice 710 coil from vgoodies and experiencing it a more consistent way. If I lived on my own I would have had a 710 long ago...

 

[Shit Snacks]

Sorry I got this 7 or 8 years ago from Kathy on DHgate for $45 shipped from China, no idea if they are still available there... It has served me well, make sure you grab an inline to honeycomb perc, something to diffuse beneath the honeycombs to use them as effectively as possible! I prefer this to a matrix perc myself, though they are nice too, I also like circ percs for more flavor less diffusion?

And how how can one push a modded g43? I haven’t gone above 12 myself but I’m curious. The ruby beads make even more of a difference In heat eh?

I don't really know the answer to your first question, I don't remember if I tried 12.3 at one point, 12 does seem to work okay enough even with the herb this far away... Is there supposed to be a max wattage? I didn't see anything that said 12 was even the max, but I know it's not glowing there so it's safe?? I guess the test is how high can you have it set without it glowing...

I have not tried the rubies yet, I haven't wanted to rip out the screens to empty the beads from the current setup to swap them in yet... What I read briefly through the links shared, and from what I have read about rubies like in the inverzion thread, they have better heat retention properties than boro? What I saw for the G43, is that it changed the heat properties, so I'm not sure exactly what could be different but I am hoping lower wattage for higher heat and less recovery time?? Not sure if it would be a good idea to mix the glass with the rubies but I guess there's not really that much space in there and I wouldn't want to load too much into the joint or something because the heating element is not long enough... Though that would have been a good way to increase heater mass I suppose? When using it injector style as I will be now

Yeah likewise, this is literally my first experience, aside from trying to use one of my old mist vape touch beaded cooling stems as a torch heater... I was tempted by elev8r enail set up (I don't really like that style of torching, never use my Lotus and only got Vapman to use with the station) I have a gn0me I got in a trade from a member here who made it themselves --that is where I got this 18 mm female to 18 mm male injector bowl from-- but I only tried it once unsuccessfully, though now I have proper large torch for dabs so I could probably try it again properly? Not super motivated though because I prefer the electronic of the E43 So yeah I've been tempting to get that from VGZ though I am glad I was able to score a G43 instead because it is so much more compact although yeah battery-powered... Maybe if I end up getting an enail controller box for dabbing as well then I will get a convection setup to use with it too? Got Sai bottomless banger stuff instead though for now and I still actually prefer just using a torch honestly...

Anyway using my G43 again this morning, well early afternoon but kind of morning for me lol this time with some Candyman sativa, in the Rogue jayhook again, so it actually doesn't have to be through water as I am liking the performance injector style with the hook... There is something special with water though and I did kill the bowl with one hit through the honeycomb too!

@Spike11552 someone else posted this in the TM thread, it is 14 mm however:

The Honey

At home or on the move, the Honey is the perfect water tool for vaporizer users. Its 14mm female connection allows you to hook it up to just about any vaporizer or e-nail. Clouds are filtered through a barrel percolator then diffused across a Honeycomb disc for super smooth hits with minimal...

I think it might work even better than mine actually, the way the inline filters downwards instead of slits on the side...

Thanks and damn, too bad they don’t ship to United States. I’ll have to keep searching, I saw someone post a link to some other Oregon glass company that looked pretty promising.
