Anyone else experience this or understand that feeling?
Yes, but I was the same before I quit combusting
Used to smoke two in a row often, more too.
But I will say when I gave up and started vaping, when I felt it wasn't working I used to tell myself "if it's not doing it for you, hit it again"
Fast forward to now I'm using Air stems in my Solo (don't have an Air) but in an extremely efficient manner by balancing a custom screen inside, so I'm no stranger to reloading two, three times in a row now, and I love it!! Because I'm in control and as somebody pointed out you could get more fresh hits this way, that "new load" taste again mmm!!
Those screens you're using cut down the material used, you think this is reducing the effect?
Sometimes I wonder if I was doing full bowls all the time, would one knock me out more, or would the extra material just be wastage. I'll have to do some experiments soon.
But these tiny amounts are really doing it for me, one, two at a time, all night, depending on the situation. It kind of mimics my usage before I quit smoking.
I'll have to up load pics of my bowl size soon.
I am about to order an Air, and am looking for recommendations about what accessories to include in the order.
The Air will sit on my table at home and be only used around the house and yard. No need for transporting nor stealth. I'll be only be vaping ground MMJ, no oils or concentrates.
Since I usually have several strains of herb in my fridge, it would be nice to have some pre-loads available. What size cups are appropriate? ... I have caps that fit AA batteries.
Thanks for your help!
I don't have an Air but have experience with Air stems in a Solo (similar thing).
The Air seems to come with everything required for the uses you mentioned,
except, as
@Threefingerlid mentioned, screens! Straight or domed, it's up to you. I like Extra fine ones from PV and I custom dome fit them.
Also that's a great point he has about the ease of loading from say a grinder, or I use a Blackleaf tin with a snap lid.
The best system I find for pre-packing and general glass stem handling, storage and use is the correct size Solo/Air caps, paired with the PET carry tubes as sold by PV, although you may find the tubes too bulky for your needs? It does keep them a little safer.
Also, I might recommend opting for heatproof caps, because (apparently) you can put them on a hot stem, and it covers the hot part and might allow you to place it somewhere and generally end your session a bit more cleanly.
I didn't opt for heatproof and now in certain situations I'm tired of waiting for a stem to cool down so I can be on my way to enjoy my buzz!
This is fine at home because you can invent a stand for hot stems, but if you want to come in from the yard like normal you'll have to either, leave the stem in the Air,
cap it with heat proof cap, or stand there like a clown waving your stem around in the cool breeze or blowing at it.
Also leaving hot glass lying around in makeshift stands is ok unless there's other folk around, in which case its a good idea to have things capped and tubed when not in use!
See what you think will suit you.
For all those different strains I can imagine a few capped stems in some kind of nail clipper wallet/pencil case type thing!
Enjoy, I think I will defo buy an Air too within the next year or two! They represent great value for money.
It's so easy to load from a grinder
This is true! And preload is good for stealth, or also maybe if it's very windy outdoors.
Or multi strains as mentioned above!
As I sometimes leave a stem loaded for my wife it forced me to make a small wood base to keep the little bastard from rolling right off the table.
We'll have to share pics of all these stem stands/rests one day!
I use a hose bracket from inside a washing machine for mine, or another great one I've found is the simple wingnut. Great for holding a hot stem off your table!!
