Hi all. I have owned a herborizer sphere xl for over a year. I had already used a friend's identical model and liked it. I previously used a large verdamper, and found my friend's herborizer to be gentler, tastier and smoother while still packing a punch. We always used it on temp setting number 7, which is equal to 200°C. Anyway, I didnt visit my friend again last year, after I got my own herborizer sphere xl, until just before christmas.
I loaded up a usual bowl at his house, on setting 7, and took some pulls. I was astounded at how different his injector is to mine. The hits were much bigger with more ease than my injector, on the exact same setting. Harsher as well, but worth it for the buzz. I was way more wasted with just a few pulls than I ever got from my model.
There are mixed opinions on the herborizer, and I really wonder if it has to do with great variability between injectors. It may be just a different temperature calibration, but I'm not sure. I have tried my model on higher settings, but still did not seem to be able to re-create the same hard hitting, effortless and satisfying experience and buzz as with my friend's model. And it seemed to bother my throat more as well, without even giving large hits, but I may have imagined that for all I can be sure.
Either way, I do know for certain that there is a HUGE difference between my injector and his one. I love smoking his herborizer for the great buzz I get. My one I have never really enjoyed and is time and energy consuming without enough reward. I have just returned my injector and powerpack to Verdampftnochmal in Germany, under warranty, but I had to pay postage from UK. They are going to test it for me. I just hope they don't say that it is working fine and return it to me. I really hooe they can tell it is not working right and send me a replacement that kicks ass like Dave's one.
I just wanted to share that anyway, it is so pertinent to this entire thread.
