If you even have a remote need for an at-home vape, there's no better use of your money IMO. This thing continues to blow me away every time I use it (even though I'm currently two weeks into a forced t-break at the moment). The bang for your buck is unreal; I still remember laughing out loud the first time I hit the HI after only having experience with the PD.

I think everyone needs one of these!
My apologies for being so dense with the water experiment. The problem is I am a glass noob. Once I got it, a light bulb went off and I was pissed it took me so long to get it right.
I'm gonna have to do some PD comparison experiments with quantities later. Since I used a PD daily for years, I love to compare what a vape can do with a PD size load. I just got about a third to a half-nipples worth and the effect is great.
This thing is small, beautiful and potent. The hits are thick and the airflow is wide open. I like hitting the stem but I get more next day flegm that way. I prefer water to keep my throat clear. This load I just had delivered two thick hits and two wispy ones, similar to how I hit my PD...only there was more vapor delivered in the same hits.
And to have it not be fragile is a giant bonus, along with the cheap and easy fixes down the road. Even if you have a Cloud, this is the backup to have because it will hit harder than anything else you could have and it will fight for time in your regular lineup as well.

I hear ya, sticks. I haven't used a bong in over 12 years. When I started combusting pretty heavy (back in the 70's) it was all about my 3' bong. My friend had a red 4 footer we used to take 'elevator' hits off. Back then U.S. bongs were multi stage colored plex. shaped like pyramids. I was all about a one hit bowl. Now,,,,,I'm just trying to get with it again.

I have a DBV, which adjusts to far more powerful than I can handle unless it's through water.
Logs just seem so much better for daily use. Always on, always ready. Just fill a stem and go. No finicking with a wand or explaining to guests proper technique to prevent herb-heater contact.
It's all pretty intuitive and elegant.

Damn all you HI bastards.
I guess it's mostly boobs fault, but I gotta share the blame on all you other motherfuckers that can't just vape alone in peace. Noooooo. You have to rub all of our faces in it. Vhole, OTA and now Sticks?? Not to mention all you other enablers out there and of course Alan from the conductor's chair.... orchestratiing the entire evil conspiracy.
It's too much to bear. I either need to stop watching this thread or get in line.

Yes, Stu!! You won't regret it.

OK! I'm going to do it. I'm actually going to revert back to school mode and I believe the term is "cram"?
Though, that kind of has a different meaning at 45?
Anyway, I'm going to read this monstrosity.

Just got through all 91 pages! Looks like I might be getting in line for this one. I have only used portables because of my kids. I am going to make some space for me in the garage.

So I did my efficiency testing and it passed with flying colors. I put one PD stem's worth in the nipple stem. (It ended up being about half what I normally put in there. I think this stem can hold a total of three to four PD stems.) I got one big hit, a second wispy one and two more ghost hits. I normally get thicker hits from the PD on the last two hits, but the first one is so thick on the HI that there isn't any vapor left to be had. So I can cache a PD stem's worth on two hits instead of four...that's a good thing. The effect has been good...just a little lift, which is about what I expected since I have needed two to three times that amount to get there for a while now. Interestingly, I have been getting blasted by the HI off just one stem, which equates to two to three PD stems, and that's what dose I was at with the PD back in the day. After this I put a ridiculously small amount of herb in the stem...maybe a third of a PD bowl or less. I got a good hit off it and it was done. The hit was thick at first but died about halfway through. The fact that I could get milk at all with this miniscule amount really impresses me.
So, two conclusions:
1 -- this thing can quickly and efficiently vape as small amount an as you wish; and
2 -- I have no idea how lwien has been getting by off just one stem a night for so long!

I generally do .1g sessions, .2-.3 if I want to get absolutely blasted. I can't even fathom running 1g through a vape. You perhaps a medical patient? Or just a long time enthusiast?

i'm both medical and a enthusiast
but lately i've been doing more concentrates to save time but that really kills my herb tolerance. but my tolerance has always been pretty HI.BigDaddyVapor

Oops. I need to stop liking 6 month old posts. LOL!
stickstones - Glad to hear you are getting the hang of the HI. The glass nipple sure makes for an enjoyable session. I have been running mine at full voltage (12) 24/7 to test for any signs of charring. Looking very good so far. Turning the voltage down to 10 or so would probably be better than just turning it off. The wood cycles through hydration and dehydration when you turn it off and on depending upon the atmospheric / room conditions. There is also thermal cycling on the resistor. Steady state conditions are always the best. The 5 minute heat up is nice for those times when you can't leave it running all the time. Nice the hear you think everyone should have one. I have to agree. Just wish I could get one made for everyone.
BigDaddyVapor - I feel your pain in getting through the thread. There have been 3 pages since I last posted. So much good information though.
Ed - Thanks for posting more photos. It is so nice. I looked at it for the longest time before sending it off. Hope you are getting a chance to use more of the roasting tubes. The CRZ tubes should work very well in the HI. I may have to figure out how to make them. Can't be too difficult.
CHIDOY - Thanks much.
Kuroth1 - Should be able to arrange some sort of special wood option.
u bwade wunner - Thanks for posting the HI photo. Great job on the Solo stem mod. I have found so many different tube configurations using silicone tubing. The gong end for a wooden stem would be very easy. I can just cut it the same way I grind the glass tubing at the precise angle. I figured people would only want glass for the gong. If I use wood, it would be wong.
OhTheAgony - If you guys want an 18mm wong tube, I could make one. Should work pretty well and look very cool. I like the way you are using an 18 to 14 adapter as an 18mm tube. Faster to clear the tube that way.
Jeppy - Thanks for the photo. Had to study it for a while.
Vapinghole -Thanks. I'm still amazed by the HI too. It does a fine job of roasting.
CentiZen - The HI should be able to get that low with a VVPS.
Stu - Nice to see you in line. Sorry it has to be so long.
bOObs - From all the great videos you have posted, I can see how you have a HI tolerance. Thanks again.

Speaking of 6-month-old posts, you'll likely soon read about my spiral into HIDS-induced insanity (if you haven't already). HIDS = HI Deficiency Syndrome, and I have a sneaking suspicion we're soon going to see a dramatic increase in HIDS cases.
As stickstones just noted after his own investigation, the HI's efficiency if off the charts, as well as its versatility. From direct draw to via your favorite glass water thingy, the HI simply can't be beat. All those things along with the artistry and care that went into my HI makes it the ultimate vaporizer for me.
Edit: Not that I don't use the shit out of my other vaporizers--I most certainly do. It's just that my HI is very special to me. I'm a simple Unfrozen Caveman, after all, and the natural aspect of the HI pleases my simple mind.
