Herborizer corner

[hanfhead]

This thread sadly is a ghost town. I am surprised this vape is not the mascot for FC. I haven't used mine in over a year as I have switched to an enail, but I miss it all the time.

As for the color. Yes it gets an amber color fairly quickly and will turn a dark golden color after a lot of use. I have de-soldered the connector and soaked the glass before and it was like brand new. But I was replacing the connector anyway. (yeah, I melted it on the injector) I don't think I would ever bother to take it apart just for a deep clean, I don't feel it is necessary. The short time it stays clean is not worth the risk of breakage while disassembling it.

The vape is a beauty!! Maybe the price or the style of it being a pipe, dunno love mine though!! What's the enail like?

Cheers for the info. I'm not going to bother to dissemble it just wanted to make sure I'm not the only one with it happening, as long it doesn't effect the taste which it hasNt I'm sweet.

 

[hanfhead]

I figured the price and fact that it is all glass worried people. But as for vaporizers, the taste and power of this thing can't really be beat. I have friends that only combust but have tried other vaporizers and didn't like it (vaping); after using the Herborizer they immediately change their mind about it.

The enail is amazing. With some proper shatter it is literally the next level. When I try to vaporize now it tastes like plant material and is reminiscent of smoking. The thing I don't see people mention is that I don't get burnt out at all from bho. I feel it gives me energy and I never get lazy anymore. Aside from that the hits are so tasty, smooth, and satisfying. Also, no restriction so you can use a small bubbler and not have to suck your lungs off.

 

[Ghostpurrpraider]

Why would all glass worry people if you don't mind me asking? I looove the all glass models but I'm a long time glass fanatic from when I use to combust so I don't count lol.

Ooooo that sounds awesome!! Where I'm at there is no such thing as bho unfortunately never even come across it too see what the fuss is about. You've spoilt your self with the concentrates now everything to you tastes like plant matter

 

[hanfhead]

Durability. I have had friends express concern for such an expensive piece being so fragile.

I have had mine since before my forum account so about 5 years of daily heavy use leaving it run all day. So it obviously is no problem if you take care of it. I do know people that have broken their herborizers and had to replace the injector glass or the bowl but it was careless use or storage that caused it in my opinion.

 

[Ghostpurrpraider]

Yea I thought that. If ya look after it I don't see the big dilemma pets maybe be an issue lol gotta keep then away from the chord

 

[Smokey]

Yeah for most people the glass is way too fragile....I'm fine with it, it takes a bit to get used to care for it while cleaning and changing bowls but the Herbo is THE vaporizer definitely

My injector has brownish color too, especially in the upper part near the hole.
Never tried concentrates, here in europe they are rare, never seen them, I should try making budder but I have other priorities atm and nail bubbler are difficult to find too!

 

[Robert Nesta Marley]

hello, I bought a herborizer xl bubbler a week ago. I am very satisfied and happy! at the beginning I was very undecided about what to take, but thanks to you I hope I have made the right choice

 

[Robert Nesta Marley]

a curious question: When using H as you inhale? small strokes or long inhalations
Personally I do the shots dragon, breathing slowly until my lungs are full ... but I seem to force myself too.
sorry for my English is not perfect

 

[hanfhead]

I like a long slow draw. I feel it is more efficient if the heat has time to contact the herb. My lungs are large so I have no problem doing it like that. Sometimes if a guest is over I tell them to take several small hits if they can not handle one long draw. I would say try different things until you find what you like.

Also, try different glass with it. I find a total different experience from each bong or bubbler. Check out the "cheap high quality bubbler" thread for some good cheap glass.

 

[Robert Nesta Marley]

thanks for the tips What you offer me! I prefer to start with A TEMPERATURE 5 and then gradually increase ... 6; 6,5e maximum 7. Very deep throws, but I'll try to variare, also di vetrothou che bong / vetro si usa?

 

[hanfhead]

I also like 6 - 7.5 range. Usually start at a lower temp early in the day and move higher at night.

I would say my personal favorite is this style, a reverse showerhead percolater. Here is a picture I posted a few pages back. Provides smooth hits and good diffusion with very little water. I also like to use ice with the herborizer.

Year and a half old pic I just found on my old phone's memory card, but still my current favorite setup with the herbo.

I like this one it is similar. If I needed to choose a new bong for the herborizer it would be this.

My friend has this one. It is very small (27cm) but works well.

[Robert Nesta Marley]

very interesting! Really nice your "baby"... what difference did you notice with respect to that of your friend? (270 mm)
Now I'm doing the biscuits with butter magic (use the weed vaporized; why I do not go beyond 6; 6.5)
Now I've got into the habit of putting in a little spray of hot water ... it does me good to the lungs and I think the hot steam is better than cold (but everything is subjective, of course).

 

[hanfhead]

Hard to say the difference between the two. I really like ice. My friend does not. So maybe the small one would be preferential to you. He also likes slightly lower temp than I do (6). I do like his now after using it for a while. And you don't have to keep adding ice and dumping out water.

 

[Robert Nesta Marley]

I think I will take (in the future) a bubbler smaller, though for now I'm happy with what I have.
Tonight I used just cleaned (alcohol works wonders) fantastic ... and I think it was worth it to buy it! Really satisfied about the quality of the steam and especially the taste that leaves you in the mouth ...

 

[Robert Nesta Marley]

Happy New Year to all !!! you who own a herborizer you also have a portable vaporizer? useful?

 

[hanfhead]

Happy new year to you, too.

Portable vaporizer for herbs? Nothing I have tried has been totally worth it. Thermovape was decent but are now out of business. Running on batteries is not perfect and you need a ton of power for anything but light use. But, it is nice to get a few hits on the run.

Concentrates are by far the way to go. You must be able to obtain bho/co2 hash. Very happy with all of the hash pens I have tried.

There is a whole subforum of portable vapes here if you didn't see.

[Robert Nesta Marley]

I understand ... so not worth it, especially if you own a herborizer; thanks for the information

Hey i will join in as i recieved my Herborizer XL bubbler today thanks to Seb even if at one point i thought it was never going to arrive! Im pretty happy it looks cool and i desperatly had to stop smoking due to my gums getting burned and moving away from two teeth causing them to wiggle. That scared me i am equally scared about my first hit though.


I have smoked joints for 15 years and i like a thick heavy sleepy Indica hit which im worried about getting of this even at number 7 or 200c. Im thinking the local herb just will not be good enough and really i need some top smoke and a little bit of bubble on top to get the thick tasty vapor i am after that resembles a joint.


I guess that is why i went for the XL bubbler too, The mouthpeice is like a joint. I must admit though there are a few little scratches on it, And the plug was a little bit dusty as well alongwith the 3 pin UK plug. I dont know if i will email back but i need to get a proper inspection of the peice tomorrow. I expected the downpipe to be removalble as well like RooR but it aint.


And my glass had a funny taste + smell too on arrival? I currently have the glass soaking in hot water and hopefully that goes away so im pressed about the peice but not the care Herbo put into a 400 euro purchase. They need to start washing/sealing this up before shipment.

 

[Robert Nesta Marley]

hello, did you get it new or used? I did not understand where the scratches and dust ...
still great choice
A curiosity: the pen (the vaporizer that emits air when aspiring) should be cleaned every once in your opinion? how?

 

[verdampersweats]

No it was new of the Herborizer site in France and it cost me 414 Euro with the Bubbler XL + pack of gauze and postage. And it was mostly just fine dust on the plug and the controller i had to clean everything with wipes but i am VERY fussy about my purchases.


What i meant about the pen cleaning was just that when Herbo get glass made it should be washed and instantly vaccum sealed in plastic to prevent dust/taste. This is standard practice but i guess Herbo are still small and maybe do not have the same professional packaging as others. My RooR's lil sista and blue 100 never came with any smell.


As for the pen cleaning, I think it has to be send back to Herbo to do cleaning manual does not seem possible. My pen is clean though never used so far. Also i plan on modding this with a RooR 14mm carbon filter inserted just before the mouthpeice with two gauzes to hold 1gram of herb in there for extra taste. And when you remove the 1g it should be coated in sticky thc. I take this inspiration from the vapolution infuser.


Herborizer XL + 14mm infuser should be the best vape on planet earth for taste.

hi, how are you?
from December and now I have this magnificent injector I deleted combustion!
Yesterday I realized that the pen / injector moves a little to the left and right if you keep the two white wires; Is this normal?
For those who own an injector so long as you are? after much consumption you have changed?

I forgot: when must reach a temperature emits a small sound ( tik tik tik ) after stops slowly , is something that I had not noticed before
peace and love

 

[hanfhead]

If you mean that the whole metal part moves in the glass sleeve, then yes that is normal. It squeaks a little if I move mine, the glass on metal. The wires going into the metal heater should not. I would assume too much movement would break the connection. I just looked down into mine and it looks perfectly fine still, the connection is strong.

The ticking is probably heating and cooling / expanding and contracting. I haven't warmed mine up in a while but I think it did. My e-nail ticks for sure when I turn it on.

 

[Robert Nesta Marley]

hey man thanks for the reply; is a pleasure resent!
well, so I do not have ... proccupare is normal.
How many years have the herborizer? I make regular use every day?

Just yesterday on a forum I found a new vaporizer, is called Sublimator (I have yet to inform).

Ps: you bought the brazier for the concentrate and the extractions for Herbo?

 

[Vapodudule]

hey! @Robert Nesta Marley please try some butane power vaporizer like daisy, lotus, hammer, vaporgenie etc...

All packing veeeery big clouds of vapor.
