I don't see why you would want cotton instead of the ss since the cotton adds flavor. But I can tell you it will work just fine with cotton or hemp fiber.

that sucks...mine cleaned up after one wash (maybe you could do several long term aromatherapy sessions with it to try and blow it all off). did you get only one? i have two, and I think it was supposed to come with two so that you could keep your defunk separate from the funky! Regardless, you will be fine with the cotton in there, it just adds a little fresh laundry taste sometimes.
Hi guys. I am in orlando visiting from the uk.
Looked at the limited edition today for $700, I would also need a converter for uk used then the issue of warranty if it broke etc.
I hear a rumour that in 2015 this is released, would it be the same model with different wiring, or is there a newer version coming out?
Any idea when it is released in the uk.
Weighing up my options while over here
Thanks

tehmob,
check your private messages. I sent you some info.

Isn't their Cannabis Cup in Nov?
Amazon carries it.

Need for Calibration - Testing?
Have a question regarding the calibration and colder running units I've read about in some of the more recent postings. Would be awesome if there were a way to determine, using a common household cooking thermometer, if one had a unit that was calibrated or in need of calibration. Using "herb" and ABV color, IMHO, would leave me wondering.... as in any vape I've used in the past, strain type could have a definite impact on ABV color.
So my thought was to use a common cooking thermometer, as seen below, and measure via exactly the same criteria, to come up with a good basis of comparison. This test absolutely WOULD NOT result in the thermometer registering the same temp as Herbie displayed, but could show differences in temperature from the measured point, so long as all test criteria was duplicated by each tester.
Proposed test.
* One Herbie unit, from cold power off state.
* With oven removed, select max temp and allow Herbie to heat up till it reports set temp reached.
* Immediately put oven (with both screens installed) on Herbie.
* Stick cooking thermometer in the top of the oven, where the whip goes. (The thermometer goes in far enough to hold there on its own).
* Start Herbie's fan, as if filling a bag, and watch the thermometer temperature rise until the fan shuts off on its own. At that point, capture the temperature to use for comparison with others who perform the same test.
I did this, and my unit clocked in at 150F. (with my Herbie set to max).
This is the thermometer I used. It shows temperature changes fairly rapidly.
It would seem logical that if many did this test, that a baseline could be established. Then any with significantly lower temperatures could either do some other further testing or contact Herbalizer to discuss calibration.
Just to repeat for clarification, this test will not accurately reflect the displayed temperature of your Herbalizer. What it will provide is how hot your Herbie was able to make the thermometer register at a fixed measuring point.
Thoughts?

I just tried this with a digital thermometer.
I removed the outer sleeve to gain access to the probe tip, this way you get a faster and more "accurate" reading.
From cold, turn on, set to max and allow to reach temp, place bowl and turn on fan.
Let it run for a few seconds and then introduces tip of thermometer.
Mine read in at 205 C.
I will however state that i do not think this test in any way reflects a correctly working Herbie.
You can only imagine the types of temp probes Herbalizer has and where the temp is exactly measured to give the correct temp in the bowl. Science!!
Considering mine was one of the first 50, i am happy that she purrs like a kitten and kicks like a mule!

Thanks for taking time to give this a try!
Quick question, when you measured the temperature, did you do so with the top screen in the oven and the probe inserted where you would insert the whip. (I think it's important to compare readings taken at approx the same point in the airpath).
Other than that, you input is much appreciated! Glad to hear you're loving Herbie! I seriously love mine!
Vape on (like a boss!)

Yes sir!!
Followed your instructions to the letter!
So both screens and probe in the whip hole.
Awesome! Much appreciated!
Now, the answer to my next question will mean much more to me. Are you able to get dark-brown (I've heard it compared to coffee grounds) colored ABV? (Mine is light golden, which would go along with my temperature readings as well.)

Not yet tested that!
Will have to go back and find the relevant post and test later!!

@DDave
Testing completed as per @Engineer instructions!
Result was an almost identical match to the picture posted by @Engineer !
Mine had a few more tiny green specs but it looked on the verge of combustion.
Smell of heavily burnt popcorn.
My Herbie must be a souped up version!

Hello, refer to my previous question "Has ANY EUROPEAN member taken the plunge and bought the Herbie for there country without the warranty and somehow got around the power requirements, would really like to know?? I dont think I can hold out till they get there export versions together whenever that is? Ta
The voltage is not so bad (115-120V) it`s the hz (USA 60hz you 50hz) I searched everywhere and you have to spend $1000+ for a frequency changer AND Herbalizer wont cover the warranty outside USA, SO like I did ask before HAS ANYBODY in Europe or OUTSIDE the USA bought and use the Herbie without probs? Thanks

Thanks! No matter what strain I've tested or how long I've drawn after visible vapor stopped being produced, I've never had ABV looking like it was close to combusting.
Looking forward to other's input, but I may have a cool running unit.

European user here.
I run herbie for months on a bronson++ AVT800 who has 500W nominal power and 800W on peak.
herbie have a 300W need. I have watt meter too that shows that the 300W is not a theory, they are reached.
The spec you gave for 20W is totally false and would lead to issues.
About Warranty, i purchased on PV and they assure(ed) the herbie warranty!
Cheers fellows!

Where did you buy the bronson++ AVT800
Wonder if I can get this over in the USA or an equivalent cheaper.
How noisy do these run?
Wouldn't like to run the herbalizer which is quiet but the power converter humming or making a noise?

Ok this is part of the email I received from Vapornation quote " We were told from Herbalizer that they will not honor any warranties on international orders as they would likely fail immediately". and most importantly."
"There are two things that are different between North American power and European power.
North American: 115VAC @ 60 Hertz (often called 110 volts)
European: 230VAC @ 50 Hertz (often called 220 volts)
The transformers only convert the 230VAC to 115VAC, but the frequency is not changed, so you end up with 115VAC @ 50 Hertz.
The pulse width modulation scheme of the Herbalizer uses the 60 Hertz as a timing base. Therefore the sine wave frequency of the 230 volt power that is stepped down to 115 volts remains at 50 Hertz, and does not run the Herbalizer efficiently. This is the reason that it is not warranted under these conditions.".
I am not trying to dismiss what you are saying that you have run it without prob`s im just damn confused because I would really like to buy one but dont want any issues if it blew the processor or something else, it didn`t run properly or no warranty. Back to being totally confused especially regarding the hertz frequency. Ta
