Thanks Alan.Good to see you around again.
mega post i know but I.m just trying to get closer to the end of the page so mvapes can start a new one
I am finding its a whole new experience using the Hi with water and a very good one at that.There are a few here that agree the Ion and the Hi compliment each other perfectly.the can is just the right size for a decent hit and the zero restriction of the Ion matrix perc suits the zero restriction of the hi.these two dance together.
Using the Hi with the Ion on around 12.3V or so, you draw for a few seconds maybe 1..2..3. nothing then whoosh temps build and the Hi just fills the glass with plooms, like ghosts or fireworks darting around in different directions.the patterns are pretty cool and add new mystique to the whole vape experience.
I still think that a bubbler with a mouthpiece that would allow you to see vapor forming directly is a must have down the track for me.the nearest Ive seen to that is the liquid piece boobs has .the mouthpiece is almost horizontal and allows you to sit back and watch the show in the can as it happens.the ion too seems to work much better than glass I've tried before and well worth the wait and expense.I m just not sure what that potential bubbler Im dreaming about would look like or if it could be made to look good at all.
I was using my crz stem in my Hi to begin with but have gone to the larger SS bowl you made for me ages back.youre stock wood mouthpieces mate with a 18mm/14mm reducer perfectlly.the stem slips all the way to the bottom of the reducer and then wedges into place interference fit but can be easily removed when needed.i just suck my material loose into the stem then skim the top off the bowl lightly pack and vape.It has no restriction to begin with.As you use the bamboo stir tool on the last two hits to stir its a little more restricted but not too noticeable.I take a big hit.I get maybe 6 good hits from the larger stem.
the only thing I need to watch for is on the first hit the material sometimes packs inside the heatport against the screen and lodges there, that is, if you dont hold the hi just above it,Once youve fired the bowl first,then you can lower Hi onto you're material, press and twist the hi on following hits to pack and break up the material,like a stirring effect.i then use the bamboo tool just to do a final stir before dumping
Just a question Did you ever make a hi with the screen flush with the opening of the heattube? and a longer legged resister sitting directly under? .No place for the material to lodge into.the versatility though being able to use internal and external stems makes things special. .the hi i shall say Lord Alan is an exceptional device and worthy of any JedHi.
Guees I'm kinda interested in how your e research went early on during testing with screen position in the Hi.couldn t find anything on the thread re this.
Its going to be a good weekend in Hitown.I m always up for more testing! and getting ready to distill my first batch of Essential oil.Lavender from the garden in a homemade copper and stainless 30 litre reflux still.the still has dual 1/2 inch coiled condensers.
Have fun Alan,next one is for You Lord Vapor, Jedhis and also not forgetting the many waiting to come onboard.Sooner than later we all wish
