I know I’m a broken record but I love the Z, especially the custom, so much that it’s almost completely killed my VAS (only exceptions are the upcoming Firewood 6 and something like a Carta for dabs).
This has become so effortless for me to use, dry or through water. I use TC on a DNA mod and I’ve found I don’t need long presses to get the heater where I want it. I’ve gotten very good at reading the vapor coming through to tell me when to slow down, speed up, etc. I prefer less cloudy, more flavorful hits but when I want to bust my lungs the Z easily obliges.
My personal favorite way to use it is with the WPA adapter. Using temps between 385 and 395, I start drawing slow and I keep a finger on the stem as it passes into the WP. Once I feel that getting hot, I speed up my draw to get the air really moving. I probably hold the trigger for ~5 seconds total and draw for ~7-9 seconds. This method nets me huge, flavorful, completely smooth hits.
With all previous vapes, even ones I’ve loved, I’ve almost always looked for my next vaporizer once the honeymoon period has worn off. Now I look at most vapes and wonder what’s the point?
