Nice product and sorry if this has been asked i did scan the thread. Is this any different to a normal bubbler? I mean if i were to measure temp and rh say on my nano through a matrix ion would i find simmilar results? Also whos doing your glass for you? Glad to see you havent outsourced to China yet
Hey Davesmith,
Thanks for asking! It's a bit of an interesting question, because at the end of the day YES, we are just simply a bubbler that was designed specifically for the Volcano Vaporizer, and we cater solely to its users. Where things differ are when comparing to other vapes and their respective cooling methods, and here we actually ARE different from other bubblers. This isn't due to anything special or crazy from us, however, and is actually simply due to the power of the Volcano itself. I don't have first hand experience with the Nano and Matrix, but I can say pretty confidently that the cooling effect will be similar, but the humidity effect will be drastically different. This is the key that really helps people out; it's the humidity that affects people most relative to the temperature differential. The Volcano puts out more heat than almost all other vapes on the market, and we take advantage of that by placing our cooling media as close to the heat source as possible. This rapidly accelerates the humidification process when compared to other bubblers, particularly the tried and true Bag-to-Bong method (which is what we were doing for a decade before developing something better...).
I can't say how much your Matrix will cool down your Nano vapor, but I can confidently say that the humidity will be around 40-60% depending on where you are (it's extremely dry here in Southern California, so we measure on the lower end, but someone up in the PNW shouldn't be surprised to see higher numbers). With Magma and Obsidian, due to their proximity to the heat source, the humidity is 100% (our meter is only good to ~95%, but shot past 100% immediately when put in the vapor stream), and is very easy to feel the difference.
As far as suppliers, we make our stuff in the good ol' USA (which is reflected in our prices, shit aint cheap for quality glasswork here unfortunately), and we have a few different shops all around the Country (Cali, Penn, etc...) that we work with to ensure we have a steady supply of glass, and that operations can continue when something happens (IE when a snow storm knocked out all power to our guys in Penn for a week last year, the guys in Cali were able to pick up the slack). We're also continually looking to add expert glass artisans to our portfolio that can keep up the quality that we guarantee for our customers.
Cheers, and highest regards!
