I think I may sleep with Herbie tonight! Is there anything this fucker can't do?
I was talking about Herbie last night with a fellow vaporyst and he said something to me that truly struck a chord. Josh, Bob, or Sheila - pull the chair up and pay attention.
My friend said I wish there was like a $500 Herbie lite! Ding Dong!! Is anyone fucking home?
Here's my thought's, what if the fan was stripped as well as aromatherapy and other parts of Herbies beastliness and created a fucking portable. Imagine something like an No2 with Herbies temperature control and either a direct draw mouthpiece or a fucking gong!
I am envisioning something where your herbs and spices are loaded on top - imagine a similar bowl to the original but smaller - you load you favorite blend, attach that to the top to magnet and instead of the whip top, there's one with a gong, one with a mouthpiece, etc...
I know it couldn't be something as small as the solo but when I use the term "portable" I don't mean stealthy.
Guy's and Gal's - could be big....

COnsidering how much work it took to get this one to market, it won't be right away. Plus I don't think they'd want to cannibalize the Herbalizer 1.0 market just yet.
I'm sure there will be siblings to the Herbalizer at some point... just don't hold breath.

Has anyone else gone through two bags and a changed screen? One bag became too sticky and the other started leaking out the top while filling. Making a new bag and changing screens was easy, so that was cool.
The extra screens are in the bag with the quick start guide and warranties. To remove the screen just use the back of the brush and push from the top. I don't know about Iso, but the black part can be removed.

Where are the extra screens? Not sure I got 'em...
Does the top screen just pop off?
Or can you just soak the whole thing in ISO?

the herbie currently uses about 300 watts right? I think the idea of putting a High intensity bulb like this into a portable unit would mean very short batter time. 
but from what ive read so far. the herbie sounds awesome and if it could be made portable then I'd be a very happy fellow.

Look in the stash container where the sample of peppermint is, under the lid
I haven't looked into screen replacement yet myself as I just brush clean after every load so far. Not sure about an ISO soak, nor of the material of those black bumpers on the bowl assy

I am finding that Vapor density is similar no matter if I fill halfway or almost full.
It just takes a couple of hits longer to get there (or a couple seconds of fan time)
I find the preheat to work well also.. but the bowl hits that hot spot pretty darned fast... so it is a matter of seconds.
I do find that if I fill too full more material is stuck at the screen at top.
When filled halfway, the meds have a chance to bounce around in the bowl like money in a dollar grabber machine!
this flecks away at the stuff sticking to top screen and keeps it more free.
I have looked down into the bowl to watch the meds "activity at varying levels with fan on.
one half keeps the contents of bowl "afloat"..
as it does the concentrate pad.
My most pleasing vapor is when I turn on unit with half filled bowl in place...
I let it inch up to 390
and when I see the vapor, I use the unit without fan., until I see less vapor and have less flavor...
then before I inch heat up... I go another few hits with the fan on.. it seems to help wring out a bit more...
Then with fan off I go up in temp...(and repeat)

Because I got to pick up my Herbalizer in person, and Josh made me avert my eyes while he set off the easter egg. Being that I used to read other people's email in the 90's, it wasn't that hard for me to figure out how to set it off.
The easter egg itself, is how I know its an easter egg.
Happy hunting!!

I find that I get great vapor at 1/2 full throughout the heating range, however, for 'my' use... 1/2 is too much for the sitting, and if I remove the bowl from the unit when sated I dont enjoy the flavour once I restart it later. Edited to add: I prefer Solo stem sized sessions, but it lacks the vapor in comparison to a 1/2 full load. While I can boost the heat to achieve it, the flavour suffers from my preferred temp range.
Also, for those hitting dabs on the pad in the bowl (I havnt tried yet as I'm still quite enthralled with my D. Dabber & Sublimator), are you needing to anchor the dab/pad so the fan doesnt blow it around and make a mess ?

I noticed that the first night, and forgot about it because I got so medicated. I remember thinking it was broken for a second, and not knowing what mode I was in. I pressed the wrong button or something. Then I got blasted and forgot about it until right now.
Cool.

No anchor needed.
The pad behaves as it should.. The wax is absorbed into the pad perfectly, and the pad is meant to float around on a cushion of hot air.
There was no mess after a half dozen sessions, and I was seamlessly able to resume vaping flowers
(and the concentrate pad was dry, and needed no attention)

I just remembered, that if you open the lid without selecting a mode, it does the same thing.

Ok, so GSC in the Herbalizer is just obscene. No one should have this good of a time. Except me, right now.
Edit: Good Lord, I want to vape 100 bowls of this stuff in a row!!!!

I seshed a bowl of Crystal Ship (.1g) with about a dozen whip hits from 365-388F. It appears I have to get up over 380 for decent clouds. 30 minutes later I did a balloon at 388. Still had pretty good flavor at that point and the herb didn't even look fully roasted. Herbie is an effective, efficient little guy. Perfectly medicated right now. It's taking me longer than I thought it would to get used to using this vaporizer and learn how to session with it. I'm still getting the hang of it. Part of why it's taking so long is because I'm getting stoned very fast and having to stop. It seems like you can either tear through a bowl really quickly or take your time and sip it, depending how you go about it.
One thing I noticed during this last session was that the flavor seemed to disappear completely with the whip after hitting it maybe five times at 365F, but the flavor was back during the bag later on. When I say disappear completely, I mean there wasn't even a bad taste, simply no taste at all. Strange.

Perhaps taste/olfactory fatigue? Kinda like how you stop smelling vapors after you sesh long enough? I get ejuice fatigue a lot so I have to keep a few different flavors around to rotate between throughout the day.

I have tried every button combination possible. Even the old Konami code (up, up, down, down, L, R, L, R, B, A, start) but no easter egg for me... : (

Almost there...
I start a sesh at 374 and the first hit is whispy but after that i get very nice clouds for about 6+ hits.
Then it goes whispy again and the flavor diminishes.
I increase the temp by 10 every time and vape till the clouds go away.
I have noticed that vaping till whispy at one temp will remove most of the terpenes that volatize at that temp setting. Increasing the temp brings out the next range of terpenes until the bowl is done.
After a while at the top setting it tastes like you are only breathing in air, no burnt tatse or popcorn tatse at all!
This vape is amazing!!!
EDIT: I did a 3/4 full bowl last night, light and fluffy grind so actually about a 1/2 bowl, and then i crumbled some compressed trim hash on top and urned the temp to 190 Degrees C.
HOLY CLOUDS OF TASTE!!!!
Many, many clouds later i am finished the bowl, went right up to the top temp with no more visiblke vapor.
It was an amazing session that left me totally medicated...

What I find remarkable like @letter never sent is that he mentions not getting nice clouds until 390. As you know 390 is where you set temp goes from balanced to intense. I have a 24 inch triple frit. At 440 I fogged that sum bitch in 7 seven seconds. That's cloud worthy to say the least and there still was no charring on my flowers.
During the day (work hours) I start at 290 and work my way up to 375. I get no couch lock at all nor have I released enough THCv to get my brain into Munch mode.
After hours I start Herbie at 375, I usually get 5,6,7 nice hits between 375 and 400 before moving into the fog machine zone.
From 400 to 450 I can pull anywhere around 4 - 6 more hits before the taste of a spent load kicks in.
Now, with that being said, all herb is not created equal. I've had strains that just won't fucking give of clouds and others that start the steam at 350. I think what Herbie is proving to us, the vapor nerds, is that the density of a cloud doesn't really matter at all. It's purely extraction!
In the last few day's I've achieved levels of medication that I've never encountered before.
And @nigel - I wasn't saying they should jump on a port today, that wasn't my assumption. I think Josh is a guy that likes to think ahead. He's smart, he's probably got one designed already like Sony working on PS5 years before launch.
I was simply throwing ideas out there not only for us to enjoy but as Josh reads through the thread he can pick up on ideas that could enhance the company, not just a device.
@ResonantOG - I have a condition too, mine is Parkinson's Disease. I find that the lower temperature control of Herbie helps alleviate my tremors for a little while. I'm 40 years old and currently take over 30 pills a day. Most people don't understand PD, even doctor's have been unable to answer certain questions due to limited knowledge on a disease I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
Parkinson's is debilitating, I have what's known as the European version of the disease, much more aggressive than the American one. Even as we speak my disease is outgrowing my meds like Sinamet and Requip and I will be up another 5 - 10 pills within the next 6 months. I imagine at some point this is going to start damaging my kidneys.
Why am I telling you this? Because cannabis is proven to aid in neurological disorders derived from the Vegas system in you head. This is why I set out to try and treat appropriately using cannabis therapy to try and cut down on or hold off and more pills. I'm a fighter, and between the Herbie and evo I now have been afforded to make my odds better.
I got three beautiful kids counting on my fight....
and I'm not about to let them down.

Perhaps those high-discharge batteries used in the BudToaster would work?
