Salutations All_Day_J,
...the HA for my first desktop???
A functional HerbalAire ain't a bad thing if such an electrical table unit suits your physiological needs, e.g. if you're not too sensitive to cannabic dryness and/or you have a water accessory to match - or even better: a FogBong for that matter! But don't search for it around here as this is my own concept and nobody knows what that's really worth, for a lack of duplicate experiments i must observe...
So, briefly put the secret for me is moisture.
FogBong just illustrates the injection of some tiny amount of water steam that got it's heat reduced before entering into the cannabic stream, ideally. This is a method allowing "outlet" moisturization, euh...
The adventures i had with my HA v2.1! i'll better stop there!...
Anyway, i wanted to advise having this great modding option, from Arizer:
After all handling & Shipping chages add up, eventually.
What it does is insert a glass barrier between the crucible's inner aluminium surface and its dry vegetal load. More than 1 tube is probably going to be necessary before a valid candidate is found which will match the crucible properly: it must slip freely and allow for some deposits.
Radiative heat continues to reach the bowl which is inside the short aerated chamber terminating that Arizer Solo Glass Stem from my picture. The 3 holes model(s) would seem optimal for this. Plumber teflon tape was used to create a cheap sealing ring (visibly heat-stressed on the oven side, but i got it at my local hardware store).
A fluffy cotton ball near the plastic adapter end will catch particles, the HA straw/connector system makes it combatible with a black balloon mouthpiece, both directions actually (...), a short flexible 5/16" (I.D.) 7/16" (O.D.) PVC tube might prove convenient as a longer extension adapter. Take note my HA v2.1 came with smaller 3/16" (I.D.) 5/16" (O.D.) NSF-51 (food-safe) aquarium tubing, which doesn't cause me much concern since both formats mate well together anyway. But bigger is better when it comes to flow restriction, so...
Ah, and glass really makes reclaims fun in this case: simply spray enough concentrated alcohol inside the stem, block its 2 ends with oposite fingers and then shake a while to dissolve the golden deposits. Smell alone can feel so captivating, make sure to experiment extracts!...
Good day, have fun!!
