I recently purchased the sticky Brick Jr from Puffitup with a 15% discount it came to $200 AUD (including shipping to Australia). I ordered on the 12th and it arrived on the 20th, so fast I couldn't believe it. The mouth piece broke in shipping but I was able to use a 14mm whip adapter to make a mouthpiece for the time being.
I emailed Puffitup and got a reply within 8 hours. I replied to their email and got a reply from them within half an hour that a new mouthpiece with some goodies for the stuff around would be sent around asap.They had a package sent with a tracking number the day after. This is the best customer service I have ever had.
Even with a whip adapter as a mouthpiece this thing is a beast. I got the walnut and must say it is beautiful. The stock torch that came with it is much nicer than the one I have seen pictures of on here.The lighter came drained of butane so I didn't have to purge it to put better fluid in it. It is metal and plastic I will post some photos later. The unit only had a few minor splinter in the bow which I cleared on the first inspection of the vape.
I use a fine grind(i start with a new vape fine grinder then hit with scissors). I think it is an Australian/New Zealand thing to chop up with scissors it gives the finest cut and if your worried about losing any of your goodies just drop a nugget into a shot glass and use some scissors you can always reclaim off the blades of the scissors too.
I adjusted the flame to about an inch and started to draw slowly. I started the lighter at a distance slowly moving it forward until I feel the heat. Once I feel the heat I back the lighter off a tiny bit and increase draw speed. I always have the shotgun closed until the end of the hit. The 1st hit is normally a little bit smaller than the 2nd or 3rd hits. The flavour on the first hit with this vape is crazy good. The flavour does drop off after the first 2 hits but the walnut is nicer than the normal popcorn taste that some vapes have on the back end of a load. I am able to get huge clouds to the point I have to check the bowl as I think I have combusted but once opened there isn't even a hot spot. I have been packing the bowl to just under full and leaving it loose but have tried micro doses (.03) and this thing just keeps putting out good flavour and good sized cloud for the amount of 'erb in her.
I have only come across a few small draw backs with this vape the first is that while I do get huge clouds most of the time sometimes I just can't get the results I wanted but this come down to my technique, not the vape. The second is that the screws should have a cap on them so they look a bit better. I would like to see a magnet hidden in the bottom of the vape so I can clip the top onto the bottom if I'm having a grill. Also, I think the metal tool that comes with the vape should be an inch smaller so it can fit in place of the toothpick. It would also be nice to have another little hole for a brush as you should brush the screen out after a bowl. Sometimes the intake can be too hot to twist back into place when packing the vape up but I have found you can use the top piece of wood to twist it back if hot.
I have been using this for the last 2 days instead of my mighty it is a beast, it is efficient, huge clouds, looks beautiful the ABV comes out a little bit lighter than some of my other vapes but when I put the AVB in my mighty I get no extra vapour so it is very efficient at doing full extraction. I can't wait to take this vape camping or off the grid I used it all yesterday I must have had 20 full bowls (70-100 hits) through it and the lighter still had half its gas.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this thread you have made this vape a pleasure to learn how to use. This gives my collection of vapes a point of difference from all the high-end tech and goes to show with some patience and proper technique this thing can go toe to toe with any other portable vape on the market. One of the best thing about this vape someone mentioned earlier the nostalgia you get like you are smoking a pipe/bong like back in the day really adds a lot to this vape for me. So anyone sitting on the fence do yourself the favour and just order one you won't be disappointed. If anyone has any questions about the vape I can answer hit me up people. I'll do my best to keep experimenting and sharing it with you lovely people if i find good results.
