just add some dab with 12.0v setting (check the video out
).. tho I can understand you about bigger bowls, but logs are meant to save money hehe.. 10mm stem style..the smallest possible for a good convection device, I really like the smaller bowl for microdosing!
yep that is the one IMHO. the HI can smash the whole bowl at 12.3v/12.5v with a fast draw
I ordered from the Netherlands and had no problems with customs, for what it's worth. I think I paid a bit of taxes but not much (or at least low enough that I can't remember).I've read dozens of pages of this thread and the HI seems to be what I'm looking for.
I have a couple of questions though, maybe someone could help answering them?
I stopped smoking a few months ago. Before that I used to smoke joints basically every evening while gaming or watching a movie.
I own a Milaana, Dynavap (+ induction heater) and a Mighty.
So far the Mighty has been the best experience. I like how easy it is to produce dense clouds, comes closest to smoking for me and really helped with quitting joints.
What I don't like is the session-style experience. I want to be able to take a quick hit, then pause as long as I want without wasting material or waiting too long for the device to heat up again.
My questions:
Cheers!
- Would you agree that the HI could match my expectations above?
- Which heater and size would you recommend?
- Which tubes would be best for the desired experience?
- Did anyone order from Germany by chance? Any problems with customs?
Thanks for your reply! That sounds good. I'd also be fine with going at it a bit slower, with multiple hits per bowl.
Thanks! I need to read up on the procedures in Germany. Sometimes you just need to pay taxes when receiving the package, but sometimes they keep it at the local customs office. In that case you have to show them the contents of the package in order for them to calculate the taxes, which I'd like to avoid if possible.
Looks greatIt has been a busy year here. I’ve made a few interesting things and finally got my website updated with most of the things that I make. Seems like there will always be things that need to be added. Should answer a lot of questions so I won’t need to spend as much time explaining what I make via email.
Toasty Top
One of the new items I’m considering making/stocking is a wattage monitor/meter. Here is how it looks.
It has a power socket to accept input from a vvps and a power jack that plugs into a DC extension cord, which then connects to the heater unit. There are no controls on the wattage meter. It simply measures and displays the volts, amps, and watts being applied to the heater unit. The lower left position on the display cycles between the following:
Time elapsed
Total Amp Hour
Total Watt Hour
Amp Peak
Voltage Minimum
Watt Peak
The wattage at which the heater is running is a more meaningful number than voltage. Each heater has a slightly different resistance value, so two units running at the same voltage will have different power outputs. The resistance also changes with temperature, so the wattage will change as it heats up even though the voltage doesn’t change. The only way to be sure of the power / temperature level is to monitor it. The watt meter works well with my micro voltage controller too. I use the watt meter to verify that each and every power supply I sell can provide full capacity.
I’m thinking the price will be around $30, based on current costs. Will make some to sell if there is an interest.
Happy Roasting
I'm interested in owning one of your hand crafted Halo HI Square log vapes with watt meter. Great work!!!It has been a busy year here.

Hahaha Hits from the bong!!In this video, the load is between 0.05gr to 0.10gr, i tamped down the first load and then did a reload.. the taste is great on 12.0v when it's tamped down and it will not have a contact with the heater screen, which is not 100% cleaned now in my case
3/8 is the Vapcap compatibility or the Solo II Compatibility? anyway, the silicone that comes with the SS-stem is perfect to attach to 19mm stems like the XL8R or the DHGate's cooling stems, it works great!
I think 3/8 is vapcap compatability, but im not positive. There were some of the larger heaters available but i was very taken with the wood choice on this HI, white holly is a unique looking wood and it has a spalted green holly base to boot. Stunning.
whoaaaa pic? lol
When I get it I will for sure post pics.
@JOHN GALT , what warm, and kind insight.
how's your Toasy Top by the way? is it still running? I remember your video chilling with it, watched it right before I purchased my HI..
I'm very much looking forward to your always interesting observations. I've been using a bamboo HI with the stainless heating core and I like it quite a bit
The Hi heats faster than the Toasty Top, and differs in it's isolated "Island" of heat.
Now, A video.
What roasting tube is that and what size heater? I like the look of that roasting tube. I have a 3/8 heater though. Not sure that’ll work. Looks great btw!Got my Heat Island today and im thrilled with it. Beautiful quality in every detail and the vapor is delicious and free flowing. As promised, pics below. White holly with a spalted green holly base, and matching white holly tube.
