Hey everyone, "The Sleeper has Awoken"!
After going through two straight days of "Get to know you" with the HA, I must say this truly is an amazing unit. AVB was evenly brown throughout, and after experimenting with all the options (grinding, whole piece, gradual temp, max temp off the bat) I have found that there is just a ridiculous amount of possibilities and outcomes to get.
Gradually increasing temp gave me and the other guinea pigs an energetic and clear lift. We ended up playing Dance Central one of the nights for about 2 hours. It was 1 AM
.
Max temp with fine and firmly ground/packed crucible (about half full) gave closer to the typical "faded, foggy" feeling. Although this "haze" was "stronger/more noticeable", it wasn't anything close to couchlock and even the weakest, most couchlock prone person in the group was still coherent. Grinding did increase milkiness though it was nothing close to the videos I have seen.
All comparisons were done with whip and a bong (such an unusual word, I prefer the term glass[ware/piece] haha). Sorry for the confusion.
The HA is an awesome unit! It was very easy to pass around and use during a long (4 hour!) boardgame, and did not "haze" anyone down as would often happen with gravity bong hits ("Wait...what was I doing?"). I swear looking back, a late night GB is the equivalent to a feeding a Mogwai after midnight >_<.
Sidenote: Yea, Gravity Bongs aren't exactly widely known. IMO they've a high school connotation, because they're so cheap to make and efficient with how much you use considering how lifted you get. Plus I live in the south and we can get pretty "ratchet" over here
. And nothing says ratchet like a 2-Liter bottle in a bucket haha.
