So I got my replacement LSV in the post on Thursday.
The first thing I noticed was that this one is def running hotter than my last one.
I accidentally combusted with the dial at about 1 (only just, I stopped before it could really burn much.)
With my last one, I couldn't combust with the dial at full.
I've only been using my shorty WPA, and with the dial at around 11/11.30 and just enough herb to cover the pinches, and getting very nice rips.
Thats been giving me thoroughly vaped dark brown ABV.
The combustion incident was with a 3/4 full WPA, so I know that made the herb closer to the heat, and restricted flow a bit, but I thought it was odd to say the least. (especially when that was my average load size when using the old LSV.)
I was also vaping (I dunno what you'd call it,) shake (?) so that may have added to the situation, but I've vaped that stuff plenty of other times and it was fine.
I've also got myself a nice carry case for it, I'll post up some pics soon.
Edit: Pics
Just the case:
Case with LSV heating on top:
Open Case:
The case originally held 1 wine bottle, with some bottle openers etc in the lid.
It has a velcro strap to hold the LSV in place, and I carved out spots for the WPA and an EQ Elbow (in case I want to use it with a whip)
