I'm already giving Ron my "micro-dosing seal of approva"l!!
This is just a report of my initial use. No verdict or anything.
had my initial test drive just a few hours ago. It was barely 0.02, a tiny nug split. Really enjoyed it. I must say, I had to work for my success - but that's down to my bad (inexperienced)'technique. Gratification due to progress is great and I love learning curves!
Flame length, flame distance, orientation of the flame, draw speed, draw length... And then this tiny nug that was surely floating around anywhere. I can and could definitely taste the wood more than discreetly. Actually, I wasn't sure, if I tasted butane.. And was a bit concerned. Then I sniffed at the chamber and that was it. Not bad, but more wood flavor than I'd expected (only got a woody FW 3 to compare to). Anyway, felt relieved it only was the wood and no butane.
Hit it again and first effects were coming but still no vapor, so I went for crushing the nug. Increased flame size a bit and definitely felt more heated air coming, tried feathering a bit - and there it was, my first wooden-weedy cloud!
Had one more this style and tried to flip the load a bit. Pretty greenish still. Well, as you would expect from such a tiny load, there wasn't much more vapor in it. Tried some more aggressive draws but nothing coming anymore. When I emptied the load, I could see, it was only greenish/golden... Could definitely feel the effects - and it wasn't even spent yet!!
Anyway, my technique seems to be pretty bad. I would have thought, I had scorched the load sure to the long heating and hitting it. No coffee brown yet. Guessing, it's the flame that got weaker with use - if I cranked it up, it should make it.
Have the stronger inner flame slightly dipped into the intake - perhaps like
@WakeAndVape in his last vid. How long do you guys heat that thing? How hard is your draw? Would ripping it provide more heat - or would it rather cool the draw due to more cold air going in?
I'm loving this thing already - as I do the learning curve. Can't wait for the weekend to improve along with bigger loads
Thanks a lot you guys.
Enjoy your bricks!
