Guess I should feel spoiled in the UK with 220v because I hit the Auber before making a coffee and in less than two minutes, it’s ready for me! I love the fast heat-ups but I’ll need to adjust my expectations when stateside. I hadn’t considered that but makes sense, my phone and devices take much longer to charge over there.
As for the fire concern, my parents house burned down and I’ve always been super conscious about fire safety since. We raised two boys to not play with matches but unfortunately, my wife still leaves candles burning occasionally. I don’t worry about leaving the Z8 on for 12+ hours a day, mine sits securely in a glass bowl holder. The heat source (coil) is on the outside, and as long as that’s not touching anything flammable, there’s no reason to worry about fire.
Now I hear someone saying, “But PJ, what if something flammable
does come in contact with the heated coil?” Well, sit right back you fuckers* and listen to me, I’ll tell you exactly what happens to various materials that touch a heated coil:
- Paper - will scorch black, no burning or combustion
- Plastic film - will wrinkle and curl away from heat, no combustion
- Plastic lighter - will melt and butane will whoosh out, no combustion
- Tissue - will “burn” away until it no longer comes in contact, no combustion
- S&B brush - bristles will curl up and stink something awful, no combustion
- Pet hair - will singe mildly, no combustion
- Wood - depending on length of contact, will scorch and blacken, no combustion
- Human skin - depending on length of contact, will burn and blister, no combustion
No, I didn’t intentionally put this shit against the coil just to see what would happen, I’m neither that bored or stupid. All of these incidents have happened over the course of a year and a half using the Z8, being stoned and setting things too close to the coil and not noticing, entirely my fault.
I fucked up so that you don’t have to, boys and girls. You can see, even though there’s an extensive list of fuck-ups to my name, none caused combustion and only the plastic film required cleaning the cooled coil. It would seem that the temperatures we vape cannabis at simply aren’t hot enough to cause combustion. Find a suitable holder, free your mind and enjoy the pure flavour of your ZX.
