[h]revelation[/h]
I've had the mw for a few days now and i love it. So far most if not all of my sessions have been .1 or above, but last night I tried a .05 out( a max loaded mz stem or a modest lb trench), and it definitly got me super high, but in a different manner than i'm used too. i don't know why, but i've always gone for the thickest, densest vapor i could achieve, and i still love that, but it was an interesting change of pace to reach a familiar place via an alternate route. The first thing i noticed is that while i was exhaling plenty of vapor when i blew my hit in the light, the vapor looked and felt pretty thin, especially compared to what my mz can do with a similar amount. however the taste was spectacular, and what i really loved is how long the taste and .05 lasted. I was able to get at least 5 or 6 tasty hits(i think, i wasn't really counting and i was vaked) , and more that had diminished flavor, and after a half hour and a bunch of rips i was nice and toasty, right where i like to be.
i really like the act of vaping, especially when the flavors there. being able to take 3 times as many hits, but not get 3 times as high is actually a good thing for me sometimes. i get to hit my glass more, and thats fun. i like the process.the ritual. sometimes i'm not ready to stop vaping, but im already super high and i don't want more.
[h]mw comparisons[/h]
vs ssv: i greatly prefer the wand for ease of use,flavor, heat retention and consistency of temp. while i love my ssv, it's served me well for 5 years now, my only gripe is that sometimes my heating element or heater cover will change their position and even though i turned my nob to the same spot i did last session, i'll be pulling way hotter air than last time and bam! combustion. this doesn't happen often, but when it does it sucks. i don't ever see this being an issue with the mw. plus, you can use a whip with the mw, but you can't use the ssv on glass or a hookah like you can with the mw.
.05 in my mz provides a very similar high but in fewer, more concentrated hits due to the significantly smaller size of the bowl and the airpath, its a much higher vapor to air ratio, but only the first hit taste really good, unlike the mw whichs provides way more tasty hits. i've never really challenged the mz in a group setting like i have the ssv, so i can't compare heat retention. i feel like these are complimentary vapes, each doing well what the other doesn't. I can't take a giant lung buster with the mz like i can with the mw, and the mw doesn't give rich hit off of smaller loads like the mz does.
completely different animal than the lb, so i won't compare. get them both. now.
i only had my extreme for a short while, long ago, so i don't really feel qualified to compare. if i had no vapes and had to pick one, i'd definitely go with the mw.
dominates the vapir air one and the vapor buddy, and i put both of those into the never buy for any reason ever category. they don't even deserve to be compared to the mw.
on the other side of this coin, i took three fatty rips on a .3+ an hour ago and i'm still super toasty

EDIT so as not to double post.
took some fatty rips on a .4 bowl. super tasty. super thick vapor. i hit the mw as hard as i could and it hit back! i took a few huge rips back to back to see if i could put a dent in the mw's heat but the last hit was just as powerful as the first, if not more so due to the heated bowl and herb. there's also almost zero drag added to my glass with the mw. lovin this thing.
my only two issues thus far: the unit gets really really hot on the bottom 2/3s. it's totally fine to hold at the top, even after having been on for 18 hours yesterday. but still, it could do some damage if you're not careful.
also, i've noticed that the screen isn't keeping all the bud particles in the bowl. i was hoping that once the screen got gunked up a bit it would kinda seal itself, but i use fresh water in my glass every day and i still see more bud particles in the water than with my other vapes. its not a lot, but more than i'm used to(almost none). not a huge deal.let me marinate on it for a couple days, i'll think of a solution. or maybe someone's already figured out a trick?
HiPi- any word on the bag blower? did you get my email about the custom bowl?
).
hopefully they come in tomrorow. Im not disappointed though. I got this for a summer treat anyway
but now I would like to see how it really works. So far I have no complaints about the MW. It's quite amazing actually how many hits you can get off a tiny amount of bud. Taste is out of this world, too. I'm only vaping mids and this thing makes it seem like it's name brand herb! Haha, very pleased only thing I would like to see different is perhaps a smaller bowl to make using smaller amounts easier and a way to hold the screen in place (it moves around a bit especially if I try to stir) as I get a few pieces around the edges of the screen and sometimes some falls through. Not a big deal from a functionality standpoint, just more of personal preferences. I'll be doing more thorough testing in the weeks to come, hopefully be able to make a nice vid if it's cool with HiPi. Great work, HiPi, you've done a fine job.
