Definitely ticks. I figured it was the heater. Several of my vapes do the same thing and it's okay.

How do you get the metal screen out of the plastic part under the glass tube? I'd like to give it an iso soak and clean it.
When I've tried pushing on the screen from either side, it feels like if I put any more pressure on it, I may break the screen, but it's not popping out.

yup, had the same problem. try to push it from the inside with a long toothpick or a pen. being gentle is quite tricky but even if you bend the screen a little, it's easy enough to straighten it out again.
hopefully in the next device there will be a better way to do it.
there's a good YouTube short for it, search for "cleaning the lobo"

I found a video of Jerry doing it. He suggested a q-tip, and it look like it popped out easily. I'm about to try it. Is it going to be hard to get the screen back in? Any suggestions?
Edit: Since posting this, I used the qtip. Super easy. For putting it back in, I used the flat end of the back of a pen and it went in pretty easilly.

Glad to read you managed it easily
for me it's a design flaw compared to the Rogue series, especially since I lost a screen after bending it too much. no biggie because I leared from the mistake and got a spare the Lobo is a good device so every little imperfection is noticeable.

If you use capsules only, saw in a video where that little screen can be removed and saved, did that day one. Lobo's only cleaning weak point IMO is accumulation where the capsule top touches. The capsule can stick to the top. Found cleaning right after use while hot gets out the buildup best. If cold, use a toothpick. Dental pick can scratch.

There is a rule against comparing vapes in a dedicated to one vape, thread. If you search, there may be a specific thread comparing them. If not, you can post in the "Ask FC" section, and people will answer there.

No WPA? I found that the Lobo's globe stem, reversed, makes a fit in an existing silicone bong. Works.

My new POTV Lobo is shown here for the first time
I had this Ash Catcher sitting around since i rarely use it to smoke. So i decided to pair it with a new J hook to make a new smoking apparatus.
& after a sesh we visited the Tomatoes
so imagine if your entire bong was just one big Perc. Yes this is it bong!

Everybody gets the green Lobo, it's interesting. They are durable units for sure.

Maybe not the oldest, but possibly the fartiest!
I occasionally get a penny pre roll with other purchases, and I never had an issue like this when vaping one. I think the “trick” is to pack it down a little, then it seems to stay together. That said, you may have had a particularly finely ground pre roll.In the interest of NOT smoking i took this old pre-roll & put it in the Lobo to use it up.
NOTE to self: Do not try and use a pre-roll in a vape. It doesn't even want to stay in a dosing capsule. It is too fine a grind

Found a way to repurpose a Vong tube. With the mouthpiece it won't fit, luckily there's Levated and Futo.

I've taken to carrying the Lobo without a stem installed. The spiral glass from the QOQ rides nicely in this little doob tube container I have. And I stick the rubber plug from the plastic dosing caps package in the mouthpiece hole of the Lobo to conceal smell. All very low profile in a pocket.

Clever idea!
I hadn't heard of any spiral glass for it. Do you have a link?
The only downside I feel about the Lobo is that it can be more harsh on my throat and lungs than some other vapes I have. Do you notice a big reduction in that with the spiral glass?
I'm not sure whether you can buy that Vaphit QOQ kit spiral glass stem alacart, but there's a whole universe of 12mm diameter 75mm long glass stems with cooling nipples, etc. I'd bet those would cool vapor about as well as the spiral, which works very well.
Where the spiral excels is in catching bits of flower that find their way out of the dosing capsule. No scoobies.

I haven't tried the dosing cap yet. Do you not use the screen above the bowl when you use the dosing cap? I haven't noticed anything getting through the screen.
Correct. Airflow is better without screen and dosing caps do a pretty good job on their own.

WPA only
About 75% of the time, I use a WPA and bong with my Lobo. When I use a mouthpiece, it's always a glass tube or straw.
The Lobo takes a 12mm OD glass mouthpiece. 12mm tubes are commonly used in glass blowing. On EBay, 12mm borosilicate glass tubes of various lengths (3 to 18 inches or longer) are marketed to glass blowers. It's best to select tubes that are fire polished on both ends because fire polished ends are smooth rather than sharp or jagged. I have some 6 in long 12mm tubes that I use occasionally, but my go to mouthpieces are glass straws.
Not all glass drinking straws for sale on Amazon are 12mm, but 12mm glass straws are available (some are marketed as "Smoothy Straws" and 12mm is specified in the product description). They are inexpensive - about $1 per straw - and some sets of 10 come with cleaning brushes. Obviously a 9 inch straw isn't the stealthiest mouthpiece around, but in situations that don't require something shorter, these work great. As you'd expect given their length, they cool well. They couldn't be easier to clean. A little liquid dish soap, water and a quick scrub with the cleaning brush and you are good to go. No need for iso, ever.

I wouldn't have thought that glass drinking straws are boro. Do some list that they are? Because if the don't list it, I think that would be odd for them to spend the extra money and not market it that way.
