Hey
@Boreus thanks for the writup. I love getting feedback. It really helps me understand how people are using the devices and the challenges they are facing.
On the V Stick 1.4 are you hearing the glass around the herb for conduction? The V Sticks are 60/40 conduction/convection. If you are lacking vapor, heat according to the color of the herb against the glass. That's awesome that you are using the Funnel with it.
On the Funnel, I think it really needs a preheat hit or glass heating because there is a lot of glass to rob heat in the beginning. I find by the third hit that I have to back off because by then the system is really charged with a lot of residual heat.
The Terpedo is definitely a heat builder. Your first hit will often be ligh and the next much larger. If I didn't send you the paper suggesting the video on my site, there is a tutorial there. But if you are combusting, start with 15 seconds of heating. I use the largest Blazer and I'm always safe for a coult of 20. Then add 3+ seconds of heating as needed. It's important that you spin it while heating for even heat and only heat between the top of the bowl and the air intake.
Sounds like you got the Glass Cap figured out. I'm so flattered that you like it so much. The 18mm is a guilty pleasure because it is a huge bowl. The 14mm is very economical with herb and I love ripping an entire nug in one heat.
Enjoy
