Man I've fallen in love with my Electropath and Flower Kettle. The more I use it, the more I want to use it, and the variables of 2 heat sources, different screen materials, using it sans Electropath, and different airflow options just makes for an incredible breadth and depth of experiences.
This week I've literally started taking notes on effect and flavour using a table with temp, screen material and airflow method (or not), because this is going to be that super high end device that I want to know exactly how to dial in for particular effects. Kind of like how once coffee machines get to a certain price point, the automation falls away and you're actually looking for more variables that you can manually play with.
The thing that prompted this study is one of my current scripts for Sour OG Cheese. I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with cheese strains - I think they have an amazing impact on the kind of high I love, but I've hated the flavour ever since I started vaping. So I've been using that strain as my test strain to measure different things.
I love that I can turn the Electropath up which kind of douses the flavour, and I can adjust the Kettle according to time of day and what I'm needing to achieve over the next few hours. (I also have a Table Top Bong which gives me the added variables of interchangable stems and water/no water/marbles/whatever.)
If you can afford the Kettle and Electropath, and if you need a final push to get over the hurdle, hopefully this post is it. I was going to have to seriously, seriously love this thing to recommend it so strongly at this price point - but here we are. I had those minor safety complaints early on around the heat stands (a $3 fix) and cord length (which only required 10 minutes to re-organise my coffee table), but in terms of the functionality, I can't fault it. The ways you can use it, the variables, the look of it, the ease of it, the kit that it all comes as part of... it's a premium product for sure, but one that I'm not having any trouble justifying to myself.
