so from what I’m reading and understanding, there’s not a substantial difference between the Tb and Dc and likewise ... not a very substantial price difference.
a few factors like accomodating 45deg joints is irrelevant to me, I don’t have much glass and I’d rather keep the joint support vertical anyway, but it’s a nice bonus to have. I don’t see any 45deg joints in my future but who knows. Moot point.
next, and realistically the biggest difference, heat isolation. Obviously more is better, but I just purchased a small dab rig. I’m a little worried the extra weight and its distance from centermass might be dangerous for a 7” piece. I got a step down adaptor for both cleanliness and for heat isolation. A tbucket on a step down just seems like a bad idea, but again, not totally sure until I have everything in my hands.
I could be absolutely wrong, please chime in more if I am.... From the outside it feels like the longer draw tube on the Tb is, essentially... a metal step-down unit. So if true, at that point, I’m looking at a $50 difference between two devices, and if the Dc needs (or I feel it’s necessary for my fancy new piece) a $30 step down to achieve what the new unit already does, with a few extra benefits....my decision has basically been made.
My only real issue at this point is how stable the extra length will be on this rig. I got a leisure incycler coming, I suppose I’ll have a better idea of how it’ll work once I get my vrod on it to test out.
But at the end of the day I’m more than a little worried about leaving a hot coil attached to “nice” glass for 6, 8, or 12+ hours at a time now that I’m home 99.9% of the time. The stand is familiar, and unquestionably a better/safer holder of hot things than any glass rig. Only real pro for the dcup I can see.
But still, now that I’m leaning towards the Tb camp, the next decision to make is the controller for it.
I have a 300rdkb for my vrod, really happy with the unit. I feel like a second 300 might be overkill. I’ll likely hook the tbucket onto my 300 (to play with boosting although I don’t think that’ll be a regular thing) and either go for the cheap 200 for the vrod or, correct me if I’m wrong, it looks like the newvape controllers are now “standard” pin layout, so I might just thank them for changing that and put my vrod onto a nv controller, which could slide under my auber, possibly.
I’ll say this, the paradox of choice is a real bitch. Idk where I’d be without all your terrible influences. I look back onto my days of using a $60 vapcap, $30 China class, and 3-4 caps a day like ... wow have things snowballed.
This place has made me more knowledgeable, more particular/discerning, and way more serious in general to where I finally (after 5+ years of vaping) get the “hobby” aspect, even if I still don’t totally jive with the “cannaculture” personally.
just a quick shoutout to the FC crew here. I’ll start making shorter posts once I figure out my shit, I promise.
Obviously while NV were out of stock.. As Rastakolnikov says an expensive mistake in the UK!
