Jaysus!! The Sublimator is quite expensive! It looks like something that would put me in a coma after one session.
@MoltenTiger you must have quite a tolerance level LOL.
The hoppers and my FW4 do me just fine, though I would love to try the Sublimator. My only other experience with convection is a one-time use of the Volcano (and holy shit that was awesome!).
Hehe. I was very lucky to find one for a steal, I've built up some amount of tolerance to it, but I'm not using more material, maybe less, and it still solidly gets me with the first one of an evening.
Wake and baking with it truly writes the day off, in the best of ways haha. But I have to be careful lol!
Haha that was just what I thought after watching a review of it today. A 15 minute heat-up time, which hits that hard? I definitely would be wiped out by one hit of that, and it looks like a lot of work to get the one hit. I'd love to try one - really I'd love my friend to have one, that I could hit occasionally. But I don't have nearly the tolerance to use it as a daily driver. At least not without completely being unable to do anything else in my life
It's the most ridiculous thing. Having a friend that owns one is the go, a lot of my friends are happy like that for sure haha
It's a dangerous device, but after using it once or twice it's very straight forward.
It's worst factor is it's 1-hour time-out, it always turns itself off, and with its heat up time... it's handy having the hopper next to it.
One hit even from a tiny amount of material makes a huge cloud and a strong effect.
I used to smoke bongs, the EQ I used to switch to vapor bongs, which was an effort in a way (nicotine addiction is awful). After a year and a half I got a hopper, which is better than the EQ for me.
The Sub is more similar to combustion than even a huge hopper hit, but they're not really massively different.
The main difference is the Sub, as long as it's heated up, will always work as expected. It's easier to fill and empty, is more efficient, completely depletes herb of oils (even whole buds, just insinerates them) and it makes quality oil residue (and quite a bit of it, that's easily accessible).
It gets slightly higher temps, more thoroughly through the herb. I find it helps me sleep where as the hopper keeps me awake. More terpenes get released with the GH, it's tastier and has a slightly different signature/effect. The Sub is a powerful way to relax, but it does hinder what you can do after it.
At least with the hopper, it's a bit more versatile. You can turn the temps down and have a lesser effect. Because of my tolerance, it's even lesser.
I'll take it out to Blue Derby today for some MTB adventures, should be amazing!
But I look forward to returning home to the Sub where I can blast off to Mars and relax after shredding berms
