Haven't completely read all the way through this thread but I searched through briefly to see if there was already a similar tip and couldn't find anything:
I find that I get a very clear amber oil that builds up on the screen from the mouthpiece assembly, which will then start to collect avb dust and clog if not cleaned for many sessions. I've started taking one of the extra fine screens from the Herbalizer and pressing it down on top of each bowl I pack. Filing it slightly allows for a tight fit each time. This screen stays close enough to the heat that it doesn't build up any oil residue, and it prevents anything from sticking to the oily screen. Then when you've emptied your avb you can either scrape off a very fine reclaim dab (which I do at home) or crack it up to red and run it dry without the herbie screen to vaporize the remaining res (which I do at the office). I've done this successfully for months as my daily portable without ever needing a proper cleaning or seeing performance drop. I recently lost my trusty Fenix so it's no longer my daily, but I've yet to find a better combination of affordability, thick quick vapor, and low maintenance at heavy use. The loss is going to give me a chance to compare it to the world of butane vapes though, which is where I think my journey will venture next.
I realize this is quite similar to the herbie concentrate pad tip, but this still allows me to have a fully packed bowl, and every speck of bud counts when you're away from your desktop.
