Hellooooooo everyboddyyy!!!
I have with me a very beautiful StemPod Si.
Yes, I know, I'm incredibly fortunate to be able to test this unit and I'm very appreciative of the opportunity.
Very quick (haha) first impressions...
Worked instantly out of the box. Simply screwed on my mod (nothing special mod), went to 28 watts, and inhaled. Got amazing flavor but I could tell it wasn't hot enough. Went to 32 watts and got an awesome cloud with great flavor. It's as easy as can be. Doesn't really matter how you pull or how you pack, this thing will work right out of the box. Of course there is a best method to everything if you want the best results, but for the average person there really isn't much to fiddle around with if you're just wanting easy, fast, good results.
Anyone who wanted an OG StemPod but didn't want to spend that much, the Si is perfect. So far I've noticed no obvious change in performance. My ABV hasn't been perfectly uniform, but I have been very lazy with my packs and my technique, I'm just stuffing ground flower in there and ripping away. When I stirred between hits while using it through the bubbler, the abv is basically perfect.
Which brings me to the next point, works awesome through water just as we'd expect from this sort of vape. Huge clouds with great flavor right from the start. I was never close to combustion and as long as you aren't crazy with it like
@supershredderdan it is extremely easy to avoid combustion. But for the risk takers, that line is always there for you to ride. It mates to water super easily as the sleeve should easily adjust to fit basically any 18mm male. I haven't tested this, but I imagine the final units will be built to take most 18mms just as the OG StemPod does.
All in all, really enjoying it!
Thanks again for the opportunity, Dan!
