I only dumped on the table for the video - I dump into mason jars and I have a 1 gallon milk container with the top part cut off. Great for ABV used to make edibles and erl!

I saw the earlier posts... and saw good response.
http://silversurfervap.com/index.ph...ss/adapters/gog-solid-water-pipe-adapter.html
is what I use in this situation.
I use this same piece along with an Extreme Q "18/18 Female/female" piece as a direct hit Herbailzer mouthpiece... I put my lips on the part the would go into your tubing, and just sit the 18 female on Herbie's bowl.
Thank you, I like that too!

I'm back ya'll!
My first 3D printed ceramic prototype of the 18mm GonG adapter arrived yesterday! Gotta say I'm impressed. The part is quite close to the actual dimensions I ordered. Although unfortunately I was off by about 1mm (the glaze was thicker than I expected) and it looks to have shrank slightly overall. Fortunately a dremel worked GREAT to remove some of the excess material to make a perfect fit.
The colors are a bit washed out, but it's a pastel avocado green (customer request). The glaze overall is quite nice, and I think the piece would hold up very well. Sadly, it will be another month before I receive the second prototype and confirm a good fit. Hopefully after this next revision, I'll have the part finalized and ready for direct orders on my shapeways store!
Here's a sneak peak though:
Edit, perfect timing for my post, lol - I didn't read the past few pages of posts
Very interesting indeed!
Performance?
How hot does that little booger get?

Haha. Yes.
Hi
Question. I live in the UK and I am interested in this device. Where can I get this in the uk
Secondly, I am going to the USA later in the year, I could pick one up from there?
I will be in the orlando area, not sure what sort of shops in the commercial area would sell these.
I know I would get a better deal for one in the USA but then I have issues with power conversions and warranty etc.

No clue! I don't have an herbie (I wish). I designed the adapter at the request of several fellow members of this thread.
We'll have to wait for this adapter to arrive in the hands of an herbie owner to hear how it works.
The adapter is made from ceramic, it's food safe (vapor safe) up to 500C, shouldn't be any problems with off-gassing. I will be ordering the second ceramic prototype later today. I will have the new prototype in 4 weeks. At that time I'll determine if the part is ready for the next phase of testing.

VAPORIZER BLOG INTERVIEWS THE CREATORS OF HERBIE THE WORLDS FIRST SMART VAPE
http://www.vaporizerblog.com/vaporizer-blog-interviews-creators-herbie-worlds-first-smart-vape/
Vaporizer Blog caught up with Josh in San Diego for an interview to get the low down on their ambitions.
Creators of Herbie at factory in California. From left to right: Sheila, Josh, Bob.
You worked on Trident II, Bob on the Stealth Bomber – how did you meet?
“Bob and I met at Maxwell Technologies here in San Diego when we were working on single board supercomputers for satellites. They’re incredibly durable with lots of redundancy, can be used in extreme cold and heat as well operate through ionizing radiation from galactic rays.”
What prompted you to make this transition from weapons of mass destruction to vapes of peace?
“We were annoyed with the company and had bigger dreams. Up late one night, I got a google popup for a vaporizer, thought it was really cool and wanted to buy one. But I looked at the reviews of what was out there and was disappointed. I thought I could do better."
"I talked to Bob and we started sketching ideas, did a market analysis and it seemed like there was a real business potential. Two months later I quit my job, sold everything I had and haven’t looked back. Then Sheila, my other business partner, helped me raise well over a million dollars to complete the research and development.”
What inspired combining vaportherapy and aromatherapy in one device?
“Initially, everyone was marketing these things as aromatherapy vaporizers and from a legal standpoint it seemed smart to include this function. So it was an afterthought, but as we got further into the design I sought out an amazing aromatherapist in San Diego called Nancy and she explained how it worked, what was going on, and gave me various essential oils and testimonials. I figured that true aromatherapy really works and we should integrate it."
"It works so well with our machine because the vaportherapy gives you the direct delivery for immediate effects, then the aromatherapy extends and balances the effect to complete it. So I think of it like a yin and yang system, where the yin is the strong part – the vaportherapy – and the yang is the conclusion of it, and together they are amazing."
"Eventually we aim to have complimentary sets of all legal herbs and essential oils that harmonize together. We’re not there yet but we’re working hard on it.”
Editors Note: This ties in with terpenes and the ’entourage effect’, and connects together two aspects of herbal healing.
“You can take any herb you want and mix them with any herbal oil and freestyle into the room. Normally oils are very subtle but with a little heat you can distribute them for advanced aromatherapy; it’s very rapid and very strong."
"There’s been a shift recently. The pharmaceutical model has been around for 80 years and we’re starting to reassess if this really is the best or only way."
"We did some proprietary studies on 35 herbs, like cardamom, damiana, lavender and hops. We made two groups of 20 volunteers, issued these herbs to people for a few months and a vaporizer. We asked them to vaporize the herbs and record their experience. Uplifting? Helped with sleep? It was not a scientific study but enough to overwhelmingly convince us there’s a lot of power in vaporizing all manner of herbs."
Who made the actual design and form of the Herbie?
“When I was at Draper Labs, I became friends with Charya, who ran the art department there. I just asked her to make it beautiful. Bob and I are the nerdy types and she’s an amazing designer."
"In fact we had three requirements: it had to be instantaneous, totally precise, and it had to be beautiful. Others vapes are slow and ugly – Herbie is something to show off in your home!"
"The clamshell seems really obvious now but it wasn’t, as nobody had done it. We started looking at how to get rid of the whip. We looked at a MiniVap-style attachment. But this tube hanging off makes it look like a piece of paraphernalia."
"The clamshell idea came during a massive snowstorm I was driving through and I went in to this kind of trance for an hour, and I called Charya and told her my idea.”
The Herbie’s also very functional, with a low centre of gravity and everything fits snugly inside. I presume this is the result of your work on lightweight space payloads?
“People think it’s going to be really fragile but look (he picks up the Herbie by its open lid). That’s something you get from working at NASA – reliability built into the design, as opposed to adding something on after the fact to make it stronger. Every single component has durability designed into it."
"The key thing is the temperature precision. I’m highlighting that as a lot of people moved away from vapor as it was too intense and they got paranoid. If you keep your Herbie at Uplifting you get mostly terpenes and little visible vapor. It’s like a cup of coffee and perfect for the morning. Then the sedative and pain relieving parts boil off in the Intense zone."
"It’s an advanced way of vaping and can be confusing, but bear with me. If you go straight to Intense (445 degrees) with a fresh bowl, you’ll boil off everything. If you’re a smoker or bong user, that’s where you get the feeling you’re after; really heavy clouds that’ll knock you on your butt."
"The other way is to partially boil off fractions. Awakening, no paranoia (helps with anxiety) and in the evening use the same boil, up to 390 top end of balance and blow off the psychoactive component (THC) into the room. Wasteful? Not if you don’t like that effect. Then raise it to the maximum temperature and you’re getting just the high-end molecules (cannabinoids), you get the pain relieving and sleep inducing. People love it. The temperature is so accurate and consistent you can delve into the spectrum.”
"Sativas and indicas have the same cannabinoids, just in different amounts. By selectively removing, you can get a sativa effect with an indica and vice versa. But where does the data to play with this – and other herbs – come from?"
“No-one’s ever done it; it’s a brand new field of study. My test group provided some data, and from my own experience I can say that mugwort at 330 degrees is different from 440. Has anyone corroborated this? No, because they didn’t have the equipment to do it and there was no incentive to do it in the past."
"If you Google ‘cannabinoid boiling point temperature’ you’ll find the very limited data out there. Steephill labs, one of two main testing labs in US has some that’s repeated all over the place, but they didn’t create it themselves. It all comes from an early ‘90s medical journal, but I’ve never seen supporting data. But it’s best we have – use it as a guideline only. We will be heading up new research soon.”
Concentrates are just taking off in the Netherlands, after the US led the way. How do they work out in the Herbalizer?
“Spread or drop any kind of concentrated extracts onto the included stainless steel aromapad, and drop it in the bowl. Run at high temperature (400-445F), and it melts into the pad and vaporizes with near perfect efficiency. Compared to how they’re used with torch and glass, they’re still burning/superheating, so there’s a so lot of loss. You’ll get at least 2-3 times the vapor with Herbalizer; 8-10 bags with a little bit of wax!”
Editors Note: The Herbie uses three fans; a dedicated high power for blowing up the balloon, a dedicated cooling fan, and an aroma fan in a separate pathway and system. There’s a microprocessor, external memory, an accelerometer – it’s a very smart device. You can see the satellite experience, packing so much into small space.
“It’s the world’s first smartvape. The key point is that the temperature sensor is in the airstream. You can see it, a little white stick that lights up. No one else uses it – it’s custom designed. With the computing power we have, it’s continually feeding back and adjusting. The halogen 300-watt bulb can heat the air at the speed of light. Any slight change is instantaneously adjusted. This is how it perfectly controls the extraction, and therefore, how you feel. It’s our core technology.”
How does it do the adjustment?
“By micro-pulses; exactly how is secret. Some people worry about the reliability of a bulb, but our reliability testing is as used on a space program, and from deterministic stress testing we reckon it should last 20 years. Its all custom designed, made of quartz not glass. The surface of the quartz reaches 700-800 F; the filament reaches 3000 degrees – half the temperature of the surface of the sun! That’s pretty amazing.”

Thanks for posting that Vicki. Very interesting interview. I'm so impressed with the Herbalizer and the whole Herbalizer team. During the interview they talked a lot about the benefit of precise temperature control. That is so huge!! The ability to absolutely zero in on the exact temperature for the effects desired is a game changer for sure. Like Josh said, through temperature control and extraction method you can make a sativa feel like an Indica and vice Versa. You don't have that type of control and versatility when combusting that's for sure.
On another note, I was wondering if anyone has tried kief in the Herbie bowl. Would the bottom screen contain the kief or would it sift through the screen?

It will probably gunk up the screen pretty fast, I would put the kief on top of a thin layer of bud.

Yeah, I think you're right. I should probably place a little weed at the bottom. Fuck,, I might as we'll make a kief sandwich because it seems that the kief would be so light and airy that it might get sucked up into the top screen too easily. Anyway, I'm having a small party tonight.. about 10 or 12 people. I'll serve cocktails, assorted appetisers and, of course, KIEF SANDWICHES. I'll let everyone know it goes... Hopefully it won't gunk up the bowl at all...

Sprinkle a little bud 1 armoapad then all the keif you want.
Then place the other aromapad ontop of the keif (so it's locked between two aromapads)
Along with some herb on top of that (if you want) and you should be fine! Keep the brush handy!
I've demoed this to 5 people and 4 of them have purchased their own units.

]I do ethier straight kief pack or kief bed on bottom with some flower on top. The higher quality the kief the faster it will gum up your top screen. Brushing in between bowls helps. The amount that gets through the top screen is very minimal.
Just sat down and did an EVO vs Herbalizer kief battle. Each Vape was a winner and I lost the battle, had to tap out. The two vapes are like gladiators, each one has different style ,pro/con, etc, but both are top of the line proffesionals that will kick your ass or incapacitate you no problem. Bedtime.

I vape kief regularly in the Herbie with no issue, although the first few pulls seem to clog the top screen, but I always pull off the bowl and blow back into the whip the clear the top screen without fussing. And if you make a sandwich with bud it should help with that.

Its under an ounce of unpressed that took the shape of the jar. Its hard to say how much I pack at a time, less than .1g, maybe .05g or less. It doesn't take much and I prefer smaller packs. Either way Herbie makes the most of your material and this should last quite sometime. Herbie is a beast with any hash you throw at it.
Herbie is hitting so hard these day I may have to pair a water tool with her.
@Stu made this .gif and posted it on page 46. I thought it was worthy of a repost. Shout out to @Stu . this is how I feel right now. One big continuous cloud.

I went with the kief sandwich method...a thin layer of Trainwreck on the bottom then a bunch of Chemdawg kief then a thin layer of train on top. It was so bomb!! I had about 12 people over last night and made about 20 of those kief sandwiches. Herbie handled the workload like a champ! Everyone got seriously lifted. Even after all those bowls the screens didn't gum up one bit. I'm glad I purchased an extra bowl as it comes in handy for heavy use nights like last night...
Everyone thought Herbie was awesome! However, there were two die hard smokers who just had to smoke a blunt. I told them to head to the backyard because I didn't want them to smoke that shit in my house. They didn't even want to try the Herbalizer. Oh well, their loss!!

That's awesome Dude!! What temp were you toasting those sandwiches on? Too bad about those smokers..if they refuse to even try it I feel like that borders ignorance. Some people oppose anything new or foreign to them simply based on a lack of knowledge.

Started at 400F then 420F then 445F for full extraction. I pretty much did that on every bowl. With Herbie I've found that vapeing under 400F simply does not produce enough thick vapor for me. I always start at 400F then work my way up from there. For the concentrate pad it's 445F right from the start...
An eighth of bud and a gram of kief was all it took for 12 people to get very medicated and some had somewhat high tolerances. These same 12 people smoking joints would use at least double that amount (probably more). Ya gotta love the efficiency of vapeing!!!
Is it tho?

Sure, but I do believe the current model is 110v only, you can use a converter, but I'm not 100% on the warranty at that point...@Vapodudule, IIRC wasn't your herbie out of action for a while? Did you have it warrantied internationally by PV?
