Hi again my friends!
I already have it for 4 days now, so I think I can post my first comments on the Plenty
So... I own a few vapes with which I can compare the Plenty, although none of my other vaporizers should be compared with it because they are all obviously different. I'll compare it a bit with the I-olite, Herborizer and Volcano but just to explain how different it is.
The Plenty is definetly like it says on the box "Effect, Purity and Flavor". Completly true for the "effect", to me it is excessively potent indeed, it takes to a place where Volcano never took me, neither other vaporizers. I'm a soft user, I use between 0.5 and 0.8gr per day, so maybe other owners of the Plenty may have a different opinion, but mine is that it is incredibly potent, even with only half charge, using the liquid pad to reduce the size of the bowl, which works great...
"Purity" yes, also nice about purity, even knowing that nothing can be more pure than glass
The tip of the mouthpiece may smell a litlle bit like plastic, as someone said before in this thread, but it is a soft smell that after a couple of uses completly goes away. It is very pure, believe me, if the vapor coming out of the vaporizer was not pure I would know it because I have very sensitive lungs that would automaticaly complaint about it. So I think it really is pure and I trust S & B are keeping with their standards offering a health safe vaporizer.
About "Flavor" it is very simple... The first hits are great, you can even get hits before it reaches to 180 and you don't get any vapor but you get a great sample of the taste of the weed. It's very good for trying different varieties, like doing vapor reports. This vaporless hits also get you high and they are really very pleasant. With the Plenty, while you see the temperature is rising you can keep trying to inhale to see what you get at each temperature. So with time one gets more and more used to it and can take advantage of it much better than in the first days, that's something I realised since the first time I used it.
A few evaluations... the number between ()'s is my evaluation for the Volcano, so you guys can see how it compares...
Potency: 9 (8)
Quality of the effect: 7 (8)
Taste of the first 6 hits: 9 (8)
Taste after the 6th hit: 5 (8)
Efficiency: 6 (9)
Quality of the materials: I can only tell after using it for a while, but all seems good
The effect actually is much more potent than the Volcano effect. So potent that it is too much for me and that's why I consider the quality of the effect a value behind the Volcano. You can get a better taste with the Plenty but after a few hits (about 6 hits) the taste get a bit toasty and so after the 6th hit it looses to the Volcano. In the efficiency parameter, in my opinion the Volcano wins, because using the same ammount of veggies (0-3-0.4gr) with the Plenty the whole experience can last 10-20 minutes, if you give it a hit every 2 minutes. With the Volcano I fill a bag and having a hit every 2 minutes the bag lasts for 20-30 minutes and I still have a 2nd bag to fill with the same charge. So... the Volcano allows for a softer experience but it lasts longer. The Plenty will knock you out very quick, unless you are with friends and share a charge with them.
Using the liquid pad to reduce the volume of the bowl and thus, use less herbs
Like explained in the instruction manual of the Plenty, if you want to use less herbs, like 0.3-0.4gr, you should put the grinded herbs upon the lower net of the bowl, stick a liquid pad upon it and the close the bowl. It works great and I can tell you that you'll have to end up doing this. Even like this it is very potent, so... I think a full bowl is something only for party days when you share it with friends. So one advice is that if you buy the Plenty, buy also a good number of liquid padsm because with time the herbs get all inside the liquid pad and it is very hard to take it out without damaging the liquid pad. I think that if I used the Plenty every day I would need a liquid pad per month.
It has a nice big cable, so it is "portable" inside the house, hehehe, like a 3 meter cable or so.
Well, I don't remember of anything else to comment now so I'll leave you with some pics and I'll be back around here soon to see if you guys have any questions about it.
This is when I met him
This is the standard position of the Plenty:
A little wheel to choose the temperature:
Air enters here:
Just a 0.3-0.4gr little bud:
One of the "problems" in my opinion is that it doesn't stand up by itself, its standard position in the one I commented before one of pictures above. So I managed to get this little wood box that I had around here and it works great:
192 ... don't like to go much further than that:
This is the color of the herbs after vaporizing, without going further than 200:
And that's it...
As I said, if you have any questions, let me know
Happy vapors!
