Ok so I'm going to try and make some first impressions of the brick. This vape is awesome. I will start by saying that I have had a positive experience and am very happy with my purchase. The learning curve was real for me lol. I have owned a lotus, vapman, I currently own vapcaps but this is a different kind of butane vape all together. Needless to say I accidentally combusted a couple times; which is always annoying but with any vape the learning curve will be there.
I started out packing with a 3/4 inch pipe screen up on the top rim in the bowl instead of where the stock screens sit. I saw this in
@WakeAndVape video and it seemed like a great idea. I think this is one of the things that led to me combusting so easily, also the fact that I didn't know you couldn't start with the torch very far in at all.. Gotta lower it in as you go a little it seems. After watching your video again I think you have a lower lip in yours than I do on my unit. Can't be forsure but it sure looks like it and when I pack like that, not matter how careful I am on the torch, the center of the load will get black and charred and it doesn't taste good. Once I realized that I had to try it the stock way...
And had figured out how to be careful with the torch, I got an awesome session
and even with a bit of combustion taste lingering, it tasted great. That combustion taste is now completely gone.. Which surprises me, all I taste now is herb and a little walnut wood which I know will go away.
So here are my first impressions of this vape compared to my others. I have already said I love this thing. I pack about the same amount I pack in an ELB and this is the first vape I've been able to enjoy dry
I have asthma and the hot air from other vapes gets to me and I can't get a big hit without water usually. Not with the brick! This thing does an amazing job of heating your herbs and transferring over the vapor but not so much the heat some how. It's really amazing but it's a completely cool draw and I don't even realize how big of a cloud I'm getting sometimes until I feel it and blow it out haha. I get a lot out of my material as well. Maybe smaller hits than my EVO but also more so it's compareable there because I pack near the same amount in both vapes. That's where the similarities end though. Other than them both being great convection vapes; the brick has a different signiture to its vapor and it has an amazing taste. Also a heavy effect that seems to set in on you. This thing really is a portable desktop and it rips. I can't wait to do some more experimenting today and get my technique down more. I find that I'm getting higher than I have in a long time and that's a great sign. This thing is deffinantly unique and it has lived up to my expectations so far.
I will report back later and maybe post some questions about technique and stuff. I wanna try to figure out my own for now
@HellsWindStaff your gonna love this thing man. I wanted some thing different that would fit well with my other vapes and this has been perfect so far. Hope usps doesn't screw with you like they did with me and you get it tomorrow man!
Cheers, hope everyone is having a great Friday
stay vaped
