I would like to present my first installment in reviewing the BHOLT VAPORIZER...
I will eventually add pictures and a video demonstration as soon as i get through midterms
Recently, I was lucky enough to obtain a reviewer BHOLT and am pleased to say it has become the best portable wax vape in my arsenal.
The Bholt comes with a nifty, sturdy and lowkey case which can stretch a little bit if you wanna put any extra items in the case- it can accommodate. Upon opening, it will contain a battery, two glass atomizers, bholt glass tube and charger.
The Bholt battery is that of a standard ecig (510 thread) but varies in appearance. It has a gryey matte finish with a weighted base to keep it from getting tipsy. I rather like the weighted feel of the battery...it makes me feel like its a sturdier device! You can use any ecig tank on here as well. I've been running my cheap cartomizer on the BHOLT and personally can attest that I get bigger coulds on the BHOLT rather than my other 650mah bat. OH, it also has a ring around the connection area that allows for the GonG atomizers to fit flush against the pen.
The atomizer screws on like any other ecig and fuctions the same- minus all the harmful materials of course. It has a big cup where a small amount of wick and coil can be found. As probaby with everyone, my favorite thing about these atomizers is their ability to fit snugly into any 14mm downstem, I grabbed an adapter (14 to 18) and now it fits in anything. Hydratubes, bubblers, bongs of any kind. It really smoothes out the vapor and increases the hit size- which i think is due to the better seal, as opposed the tube it comes with. I have been told they have a different temperature than the other wax vapes out there that makes sure your product is ACTUALLY VAPORIZED. So no smoked wax for me =)
Bholt engineered this reallly cool tube is a few inches long and is mostly glass. It has matte, almost rubber, rings at the top and bottom and uses a plastic drip tip. It has plenty of space inside the tube to fill with massive amounts of vapor. Surprised me and my friends because we're all used to other brands that dont provide a lot of vapor (much less quality vapor). After frequent use i notice an odd taste and smell from the tube that I cant seem to put my finger on. I was thinking that the drip tip needs replacing and in general the whole tube needs a cleaning...but havent gotten around to that just yet.
The charger is a standard among all 510 ecigs and is pretty useful if you have multiple batteries like me who are absent a charger (due to my own forgetfulness)
USING THE DEVICE
When I finally got some wax, I was ecstatic. Seeing vids and reviews had already built me up to my expectations of the BHOLT and its lived up to it for sure.
Firstly, I tried the BHOLT using the tube it came with. I packed a BB sized dab (C02 Crumble) into the atomizer and gave it a few seconds of preheating to let the wax soak down into the dish/coil. I find it best to (when you first pack ur dab) to hit the button again before you begin your inhalation, otherwise I've noticed a disappointment in size of hit. But after its ready, oh it packs a punch. With each following hit I give it a few seconds to see vapor form and then I inhale, but I dont need to press the button twice to do so.
*Inhaling with the bholt can be tricky. Slow and steady wins the race. I get way bigger hits the slower I inhale. Its deceptive in the videos...because it looks like it should be like taking a dab or hitting the bong, but its all about technique. Here's an easy tool to see if your inhaling correctly. Look at the tube when you inhale, you'll notice vapor formation correlating to the amount of air passing through. You'll eventually get the hang of it and will be pulling giant rips in no time! Even look at the coil- itll change how bright orange it is depending on how you inhale! Faster = less light from the coil, meaning less vapor. One last note on inhaling would be to take care in making sure the seal is tight as can be. I'e had to fiddle with my tube to make it as tight as possible on the GonG atomizer...and still it doesnt seal entirely.*
The hits that come from the tube taste great initially! Full spectrum of flavor from the wax and definitely potent. The vapor isnt that hot either, noticeably different from all other portable wax vapes I've tried. Clean. (Great portability with the tube. I've be able to walk down WeHo, Venice, San Pedro, Torrance etc etc without anyone batting an eye. Ecigs are so popular over here- being noticed isnt a problem. )
Although I'm a fan of the tube, I will say im far more fond of this device when I'm able to run it through something with water filtration. I've tried this pen on 4 different rigs, and I cant say it varies much in performance from one to the other- sparing the ability to press the button again and filling up the more spaicous chambers in some bongs. As with anytime you dab, filtration and diffusion can really change up the quality and smoothness of your hit, and I think that is what makes this pen so appealing- being able to run this pen through as much or as little glass as you want gives you the ability to customize your dabbing experience. As a vocalist, I want tons of time for my vapor to cool, so running thorugh a bigger rig is ideal. You want stronger taste? Small bubblers get the job done. I went to my local collective, where they have a dab bar, and was allowed to run my be through their bongs there, and even converted a couple people due to hit size and my lack of coughing =) , or at least got them to go check out FC and BHOLT websites.
I've also dabbeled into hitting the pen natively...which leads to a even tastier vapor....but is dangerous if your lips get to close to the coil or you have a frisky tongue =P. I didnt have a problem with it but those are things to be wary of.
Overall, I'm still getting to know my BHOLT. Technique devlops daily and so does my appreciation for this device. It can produce clean, tasty, and efficient vapor and I never need a nail, dome, or torch.
I definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for portable wax vaporizers. I should ave demo videos up in week or so...midterms are tough. But I will answer any questions I can in the meantime! Thanks BHOLT for an amazing product and thanks FC for reading =D
