Hello
I’ve been tickling lately with the idea of acquiring a Herborizer. I must admit the idea is quite dreamy as the device has been a long time coveted for me.
I come with a question regarding my possible peculiar use case and the suitability of the Herborizer, and its accessories for me and my use.
In most cases I would prefer to use the device to get big hard hitting hits,
on small amounts of material. I have a low tolerance, and most of the time don’t really enjoy or seek to have extreme effects.
My worry is the ability of the Herborizer to give satisfying hits on small amounts. Every vape I own and have used gives far less satisfactory hits with small amount. The degree of quality of the hits depend on the device, but the lack of fullness in the hit, and the obvious shift in quality and satisfaction feeling is very noticeable.
I’m much less a scientist than many of you, but I believe a large part of this dissatisfactory feeling is due to the change in air to herb ratio. The hits simply become less vaporus, and more airy.
Looking at the Herborizer bowl I think this feeling I am trying to avoid would happen with a small amount of herbs. Unless the heater is powerful enough to overcompensate.
Based on logic, my experience, as well as my reserch (I have read most of this thread) I believe the outcome I fear is more likely to be the truth.
I have watched many videos, and the largest fullest hits seem to be with largely packed bowls.
I did not say above but I am not looking for magic. I only want 1 hit out of my small bowls. I just want it to be a satisfying hit, not an airy, lesser than experience.
I don’t want to do large packs and hit over time, as that time spam might be days which degrades experience.
There are the two microdose options offered by Herborizer. I am wondering what the contemporary opinion on them is.
All glass micro bowl Ti / DigiTi for microdosing

Gasket bowl Ti / DigiTi for microdosing
herborizer.com
Based on my research most users seemed to prefer the standard bowl for a microdose.
I think the small microdose bowl was unliked with the glass plug, and then mostly liked modded with a standard screen instead. However It never seemed wildly popular and I am unsure on that configuration compared to the standard bowl for microdoses.
Then there was the reducer setup which the desgin seemed to have been praised, but there really wasn’t enough info for me to draw any sort of conclusion on its performance.
To me both designs look like they attempt to improve microdose performance but also seem to add a layer of clunk compared to the elegance of the standard bowl setup.
I do play with the idea of buying both to test for myself, however they, and everything in the Herborizer store are very expensive so I would love to limit extra costs.
To conclude…
I very much like the Herborizer and it speaks to me. I am a low tolerance user who wants a full experience satisfying hit on a small amount of material which will be spent in one hit.
my questions are:
How is the experience of the Herborizer with small amounts of material? Especially in regards to the satisfaction of a hit on a small load compared to a regular or large one?
How are the 2 microdose options offed by Herborizer?
How do they compare to just using a small amount in the standard bowl?
Thank you very much, it has been informative and entertaining to read this thread the past few days.
To avoid overwhelming highs (what is that?) and rise of tolerance, you can also space your sessions hit by hit. Long live pure convection. I got a 18mm glass stopper from "Stony lab", lab glass brand on amazon so in between hits I can cap the bowl for better conservation of herb.
