Discontinued Glass Symphony XLR

0.09g @875 I think. I'm still playing around with temperatures and such but it is an incredible vape.

That's a damn fine shot! I feel like I am on top of it!

UPDATE:

I measured the GS with a very sensitive thermocouple just after the exhaust and got some real numbers. More info the thread started by @stickstones

When I took 2 hits in a row, that were spaced 10 seconds apart, the max temp of each hit was within 5F of each other. Crazy!

The single hit in the pic was made using: https://plot.ly/~symphony.vapor/4/

 

[stickstones]

Nice graph! I finally got to play with this thing last night and was not disappointed! More to come after a thorough play with temps.

Edit:

Put this quick vid together from last night’s play time. Later I got the temps down and am getting things a medium tan at the end. Dialing it in!

 

[lazylathe]

Freshly cleaned WT and bowl with some amazing Lemon OG X Headband to kick the afternoon off!

Seeing @Zow237 blowing super thick clouds has made me bump up the temps...
Only at 805 now and the nose is tickling like crazy! Such amazing flavor and taste!!!
These tiny EQ loads are one-hit wonders for sure!!!
Pure flavor from start to finish in one hit!

The one feature i love is the resistance this vape has when you draw!
It's almost like breathing with just a slight restriction, very hard to explain... By breathing in and then drawing on the WT at the same speed, i notice a slight stiffening of my abdominals that is slightly less when breathing normally, it's perfect!

Now for a glass screen for 100% glass...

Np!! Some prolly think I'm a dick but they don't know me then haha. I'm going to do a few more of this later. I'll show what I can do with good herb. And show some lower temps. I noticed my cotton ball made a huge difference on how fast vapor is produced. Without it i feel then there is a lot of air passing through potentially making the heat somewhat lagged. I wish I had another controller to compare to the Fp's vapor density and quickness. But it takes like 10-20 seconds to extract from the Fp in my experience

This is a real cool vape and i been watching it for quite some time but definitely don't knock on the Fp bc it for sure does not take 10-20 seconds to extract. More like under 5 seconds almost instant . I understand people are upset with the way a few things went down in the thread but that does not make it a bad vape. All vapes have pluses and minuses.

I have an fp and it doesn't extract as fast as my GS. I am not knocking the fp at all. I'm about to use it never once did I say it was a bad vape. I think you are taking it out of context. I can't take my fp and take a fast 2 second hard pull and get what I get from the GS. Idk what Edwin's Bs has to do with anything as well. I love my fp

You have the Og Flowerpot , there have been several iterations of it since then. I'm just pointing out that it does not take anywhere close to 10-20 seconds to extract with the new versions and the same even goes for the og you have. I'd post a video or two to prove it but it does not belong in this thread. You did state on page 14 of this thread you want nothing to do with the flowerpot. I apologize for the Edwyn comment as it shouldn't have been directed your way , just reading through the thread and saw it was brought up and whatever happened does not effect how the vape works. No hard feelings , you always provide useful info and i can't thank you enough. Sorry if i offended you and hope we are cool. I happen to like both vapes to be honest .

 

[lazylathe]

I get vapor faster on my GS than on my OGFP 16mm and the SH. Faster extraction on smaller loads as well.

Both are different beasts and have their own + & - points.

 

[Zow237]

@Justpassedu no hard feelings at all!!! I was over exaggerating as I tend to do hahah. No it doesn't take 10 seconds to extract.

 

[stickstones]

I don’t have a fp, but you’d be hard pressed to extract quicker than this thing. I’m now down to 700 and getting tasty tips that end with abv that looks like 375 on herbie. I’m saving it for a higher temp now later tonight. But I’m getting just about all the herbs have at a given temp in one hit with these micro doses.

It almost astonishing to see my exhales on these micro doses.

I posted a video in the FP thread yesterday demonstrating complete extraction in under 6 seconds.

 

[stickstones]

That’s pretty darn quick!

A lot of that is user dependent, and these days I like to take it easy and slow. But this one is bringing me back to huffing.

Another way to compare how quickly these can extract could be how quickly they soak the herb and start creating vapor. That would take a lot of the user-variable out of the equation.

Lower your dose if it seems too big. I had to adjust to smaller and smaller doses as the early versions of the GS got larger and larger.

I can't wait to see what your temp testing shows.

I have a portable that uses a tiny hole for the intake and it drives me bonkers. All of the resistance is at the intake. For the GS, the resistance is at the heater and is distributed. The spheres have a unique drag for sure.

Now for a glass screen for 100% glass...

Your wheels never stop! BTW I just had a customer say how much they liked using the EQ baskets for dosing. That came out of your lab!

Maybe I need to make 1 more bowl?

 

[stickstones]

I was thinking a hanging basket would work well to keep the herbs in the central part of the air path. We might get even thicker vapor!

My ss mesh was killer for extract at 740 for low temp taste. Looking forward to finding that higher setting for huge extract hits. This is one of the few convection vapes that I think could be excellent in this respect.

 

[lazylathe]

I am at 750 set and 744 as the actual heater temp now.
Vapor is thinner but somehow more potent and WAY more tasty!!!
No itchy nose at these lower temps which is odd... but i will take it!
Also doing small hits off one bowl, inhale and fill tube and stop to clear tube, replace heater.
I will also stir if i remember as this helps a lot with multiple hits off the same bowl.
Exhale and zone out while trying to type and listen to the keys sounding like gunshots!
Two EQ bowls and i am medicated!!!

@jojo monkey The EQ bowl is amazing in your vape!! Micro bowls FTW!!!

 

[StormyPinkness]

I tried out some concentrates last night. Turned my auber from 850 to 999 and put a glass fritted disc thing I got with my Dreamwood stuff with some shatter on top into the funnel bowl. First 2 hits I got a little taste and then after that I got a couple hits of vapor. Didn't work out super well, kind of worked though. Maybe the extra 100 degrees the new heater can do would make it work, if I ever get it I'll try it out. Something in the back of my head keeps telling me it can work. For now though I'm very happy having a separate d-nail setup for concentrates. I definitely want the Glass Symphony to always be flower first.

Over the November sales I grabbed some cheap cellphone lenses to try and get a closer view of the bowl. I couldn't get close enough with the macro lens, but then I remembered @lazylathe saying he used a fisheye lens and that worked much better for me. I think I posted earlier I was done making gifs, but I'm a lying liar.

Shake (?) from a gutted free pre-roll (NOT GROUND AS RECOMMENDED):

Less pretty and more clumsy video one of the gifs came from:

@StormyPinkness

Beautiful videos!!! So clear and stable!!!
Do you just use the stadium bowl? You should try the micro dose bowl, it is very nice!
The herb is not as visible though... Not sure if these are available without the sandblasting?
I love my micro doses with the EQ bowl... you may have heard! LOL!
It has to be tried!

Oh and post more videos!!!

Thank you sir. I have the stadium and micro dose (funnel) bowl. I've been using the funnel bowl since I got it though. I do prefer the stadium bowl just for the show, but I like the smaller doses of the funnel bowl. Doing those 2 videos has me wanting to switch back though.

I haven't tried an eq basket in the funnel bowl yet, just the stadium. It worked perfectly in the stadium, I'll have to try it in the funnel. To be honest I tend to put too much in, I just love using this thing. Either too much in the bowl or 1 bowl too many, tends to end up one way or the other.

Oh and I saw you asking about all glass bowls and it reminded me @cannabis.pro makes some stuff like that, it's all male/male though and nothing in 24mm. I asked him in his thread if there was any chance of him making a 24/18 female/male one, I would be very surprised if he said yes though. I use these with some of my butane vapes, great way to get rid of the screen.

Want to say the addition of mesh screen definitely / noticeably improves the flavor as Jojo had said.

It also prevents more resin from building up compared to when without as you can see from Jojo's photos too.

At first i was having lots of trouble getting the mesh screen inside my bowls, but after torching it there was some firmness that was added which helped majority and now allows for easy screen installments/removal.

Id suggest to torch them for a few seconds before initial use to get rid of any machining/factory oils too.

Im liking these. Id definitely suggest using the additional mesh screen!!

Very interesting. My mesh screen was so flimsy I couldn't get it to stay in the bowl like the other screens. I didn't even get to use mine haha.

Did Jojo not say that the mesh screens need to be installed on top of the standard screen?
I know each bowl comes with one fine mesh installed, plus 2 spares.

I hadn't given it any thought, but I wonder if Jojo is sending the bowls with a standard screen underneath and the mesh on top?
Or just with the fine mesh alone?
If anybody can confirm?
What experience have others had using the fine mesh, regarding installation, maintenance etc, screen underneath or not?

Is it too early to say Happy U Know Whotsit?

Well happy weekend vibes going out to all for the moment then!

He sent me a screen and I had no idea about the screen going on top of an og screen. Good to know but I threw out my screen after I fucked it up trying to put it in haha

Here is what Jojo said about it a few pages back:

The new fine mesh does reduce the air flow a little. I think there are a few PROS: it uses a micron size that is ideal for preventing ripe resin heads from passing by. I can detect more flavor with it. One thing I should mention: the fine mesh uses extremely thin wire and cannot support itself in the bowl. It needs to be placed on top of the pipe mesh. Doing it this way makes it very easy to clean the fine mesh since you can easily slip it in and out. When the fine mesh is installed it won't spin or fall out with a stir.

Maybe you can get some more screens and try it again? Be a shame not to give it a fair go.

Yeah dude mine was so flimsy too i almost gave up too, but after torching it it added that firmness and I've now got zero issues installing after and on top of my OG screen. Its definitely worth the effort bro. Id definitely suggest you try again. Increased flavor for sure and maybe even added potency due to less resin build up.

 

[StormyPinkness]

I was forced to take out a current screen for cleaning so I tried the new mesh screen over the weekend. Like everyone else I found it a pain to put in, but I'm terrible at putting any screen in so I didn't think much of it. I just folded it a little to get it in there and so far it's stayed put. It's definitely much easier to push out of position then the other screens, I need to be careful if I stir or try to scrape anything off to clean it. Other than being a little touchy it's working really well. I can definitely see how it'd be nice to put over the normal screen, it'd be way more secure.

Reading everyone else's posts I'm realizing I was so busy messing with and worrying about the position of it I really didn't pay attention to how it affected the taste for me. I wish I had 2 funnel bowls to do side-by-sides with, no idea why I only got 1.
