How did it treat you,
@RustyOldNail? I’m thinking of grabbing up a 2 if it pushes lower temps, and if I can get some rosin into the ceramic SPRK
Just received it yesterday. My 1st dedicated dist cart device, so I don’t the ability to compare to the competition.
However, I did enough homework to say the OG “One” version was usually a top rated device, and this adds improvements, the big one being FIVE temperature settings, from 2.43 - 3.84 volts.
Currently, I only have one cart: “Sesh - Green Skunk” 1000mg distillate syringe (THC=87% Total Cannabinoids=89%) Additives used: Botanically derived Terpenes, Cannabis extracted via butane.
I bought both types of the SPRK Ceramic Cartridges, the metal ones with built in metal base, and the newer 510 all ceramic cart, that requires the adapter, this is the one I half filled to test. Let it soak for 8 hours, then started at the lowest setting.
Doing 5-8 second pulls, spaced out, not back to back. I was surprised at the vapor on exhale at the lowest setting, and a nice mellow hit. I’ve worked my way up to the middle heat setting, a little harsher but more vapor. Not looking for clouds on these pocket rockets, but for medication effects. Very IMPRESSED, mostly at how SMOOTH the vapor is, at the two lower settings, I can hold in my toke for as long as I can hold my breath, and NOT cough. Long 10 second pulls at middle setting will bring on a bit of coughing. For me these are great results, as I cough with every device and materials I vape, even the Sapphire DCup.
I don’t have any other carts right now to compare to as far as smoothness and results. As far as flavor, and these kinds of distillates and processed oils, I don’t really care, as I’m just interested in using a device like this to get fast pain relief. When you see and read how these final distillates are produced, separating then recombining, adding Terps etc., it’s logical to me that the taste of the original strain would be hard to retain. So my one sample has some kind of subtle floral taste, that does not bother me. I’d vape these for the results, not flavor chasing.
So far, the device is working as advertised, manual and auto pull both work, settings as easy to see and set. There is the usual 5 button clicks, for ON/OFF, but NO auto shutoff! So it would have to be turned off manually each time before risking a pocket fire if button was accidentally activated. I doubt there is much if any battery drain if it’s just left on all the time if one forgets to manually shut it off. Would be great if a user selectable POWER OFF timer was available, but with no firmware update ability, it would have to be done on newer units.
I love it’s tiny size, don’t see the need for any lower voltage settings, and I have yet to try the two highest temps, but will today. I own more ECig vape devices then one person should, and certainly could have used most of them with the 510 cart version, but I’m glad I went with this dedicated tiny device, feels nice and solid in your hand/fingers, and with good auto-draw, you can hit it with just two fingers holding it. While more expensive then most others in this category, I’d buy it again.
With the impending vape mail ban, if this or any other vape interests you, might be the time to order....
