On a Permanent Vakation
deke said:Thanks for distilling those tips, Vessel. And thanks for the vid, slain. I've been trying some things, like inhaling like it's a straw or cigar, with better success. Figuring out the optimal way to use something like this is a really fun part of the process.
I have a question. I understand that bowls should be packed only in the trench, and no higher than the top of the trench. Fine. The thing is, whenever I stir up the bowl between hits, it's kind of a hassle to open the cover and poke around until all the herb is back in the trench. What if I shake it up, most of the herb falls in the trench, but maybe a third or so is scattered around the screen above the trench? Is this going to hurt the unit if I continue hitting it like this?
I find with my (old) unit, that with the herb finely ground, after shaking, one can easily get the herb back in the trench. If some does stay on the sides, its not a huge deal, nor do I think it will do any damage, though I could be wrong.
As for poking around in it to get it back down, id say its not worth the potential damage to the screen. Id use the brush, if anything to do that...
I just hold mine level, and tap on each side, until the herbs all in the trench.
