The HI

[BigDaddyVapor]

I'm not having troubles with the screens/grind either. Just its not compatible with the MFLB there. (Damn you, VH! You said, everything would be alright!).

However, the grind is perfect for my VB. As many knocks as the VB gets, I can't fathom why I use it. But I do. Its actually quite an enjoyable vaping session.

Two vapes out of 3, prefer BDV's coarser grind.

EDIT: Drilled vent holes in the top of my cheap vvps. I noticed it does run hot, as I would expect it to. The venting helps tremendously. Though, they've got 2 caps placed that, honestly, I don't know how they haven't melted the board yet. They're well-ventilated, being by the massive vents on the side. Probably just a poorly designed circuit. But, when you pick it up from the bottom... its hot enough to get your, "OUCH! That was @#$%ing hot!", as you drop it.

Hey BDV did you manage to work a way to add a screen to those top holes.maybe a rivnut in each to hold screens.i don t want your e place catching fire from furballs and ABV.

I ask because my VVPS has 4 10 mm holes(my work) bored through the top of my vvps to aid ventilation.
Gawd damn Macguyver has a lot to answer for! well thats my excuse anywayz

Naw, screw that... I live dangerously.

Me too dude - this is also the first time my wife is actually excited with me to get a vape, the Hi seems like a fine piece of art and you could never rush the artist. I just hope it comes before Hannukah, than I can call it the CHi -

I registered around the same time and I still have my spot. If I come up before you, I'll swap you places. I have every intention of purchasing my own HI.

I played around with finer screens on the SS tip tubes and found they clogged too quickly. I was also using finer screens in my first turbo tubes because they held the silicone better. That was before I figured out that hammering the screens made them larger and fit better. The shiny surface of the screen also seems to stay clean longer.
I got some fine screens by accident so I will give some a try in the turbo tubes again. It may require changing screens more often, but less particulate will make it through when using for direct draw.

I like the small and concealable size of the turbo tube. Nice that you are getting single hits when using the glass nipple and a small amount.

Thanks, Alan, The reason I asked about the screens is because I think I am getting more particulate through the HION than the Cloud/Ion. I find myself dealing with more flegm in the mornings and the tube itself is pretty gunked up with debris. I thought the water would eliminate this, but it only diminishes it. I am no longer having coughing fits like when I was grinding it too fine and using it without water. It sounds like I'm an outlier, however, as the others around here are reporting satisfaction.

I haven't experienced the morning phlegm (thank goodness for spellcheck. lol). Plus, I clean the tubes after every use. But, I was definitely experiencing a much higher amount of phlegm during the day and especially, when I was vaping with the HI. I found running at 11.8 is too hot for me. The OEM non-vv power adapter definitely was. I could really only use 2 pieces with it, comfortably (the Saxo and Leviathan).

The severity, was also dependent on the piece I was using. I was a bit frustrated, because it was removing my SSFG from the equation. I would cough up a lung, trying to hit it. Dropped the voltage, way down... but then the hits weren't satisfying. Brought it back up to 11.5, started playing with my draw speed and it finally clicked. Thank goodness. Wanted my favorite glass and vape to work together.

I use a pretty coarse grind now, but when I was using my MFLB meds... I was getting a LOT of debris and even sucking up some of it, when seating a semi-vaped load.

I just found out about this greatness! If I e-mailed now, how long of a wait is the list?

I just found out about this greatness! If I e-mailed now, how long of a wait is the list?

I believe people that got on the list at the end of February / Early March are still waiting. So something like 6+ months as of right now. Just follow the thread and as people get theirs they may let you know when they got on the list so you can make a guess at how long.

Hey sticks, buddy... that help you out any?

 

[Jeppy]

Oh, ya,,,my new element just arrived!! Time to get the HI dialed back in. Thanks given to the 'Great Vape' Alan Wan Kenobi.

Sorry bdv...I was pretty vaped the first time I read that and it went right over my head.

Are you saying that your temp adjustment helped with the Flegm the next day? I am no longer using a VV supply, but am taking note of your preferred voltages in case I ever ramp up to a nice one like you have.

The temp adjust I think had the biggest effect. My sweet spot seems to be between 11.35 and 11.40. If I hit 11.5, is when I start having problems. Its a shame, because I think there's some stellar vaping between 11.5 and 11.8, especially with my Leviathan. I just seem to get a lot of irritation and have had some bad phlegmy coughing fits during and afterwards.

I don't so much have the problem the next day, because it seems I've coughed it all up, by that time. And trust me... its quite a bit to.

EDIT: Oops... forgot to add. I think my choices of glass have an effect to. Both the Leviathan and the Saxo, which I think are the two pieces that work best with the HI performance-wise, seem to give me more phlegm. The SSFG, which is known to give me wet lips, from time to time... and I would assume would be a phlegm culprit... doesn't really.

 

[ilovebOObs]

its been too fucking long

 

[BigDaddyVapor]

I know this has been discussed before (I'm still reading the thread - about 1/3 thru). But, I've seen people talk about 2-3 cloudy hits, then wispy after that, being AVB after 4-5.

Why, or how am I getting 6-8, easily? Even running below 3.5, I'm getting nice milky hits. I know some of it is strain. The Sativa I have right now, easily outvapes my hybrid, almost 2 to 1. I assume you guys getting 4-5 wispy hits, are running above 3.5.

How much do you pack in the all glass tube, bOObs? I load mine about an 1/8" - 3/16" from the top, while its fresh and fluffy.

EDIT: sticks... I forgot to ask. Are you getting just phlegm, or are you getting any other congestion to? Any sinus related stuff? I hope you don't mind. I used your example and mine, because I experienced it tonight with my MFLB. The Magic-Flight Box

Damn boobs. Your so smooth with those videos. All I got goin for me is this "manly stache" cuz my videos SUCK:

Just dropping in from list view in tapatalk to say that "Damn boobs. Your so smooth..." as the preview for the thread was completely unexpected and quite amusing. That is all.

 

[BigDaddyVapor]

HA! Jeppy had a HI moment! Anyone catch it? Right at the end, after his BDV impersonation (duck sounds), you can tell... "Where the @#$% am I? @#$% this feels goooood!"

EDIT: sticks... check the MFLB thread. Q brought up "lung butter". The temp issue is sounding more plausible.
