so ive dome some test runs lol. and with the muzzmod or sneaky pete wpa. whatever you call it. like you guys mentioned above and your right, thinner more irritating vapor. definitely try the cu with the whip. and yes native is best but when in a hurry and need a blast. it is key.
To clarify a bit, the adapter you bought is, I believe, an Easy Flow adapter, about the only commercially available glass-on-glass adapter. "Muzzmod" refers to one that is home made using a cannibalized cooling unit, a 14/18 mm glass piece and some epoxy. The name is from the guy who first made and wrote here about one, the esteemed
@elmomuzz . So, credit where credit is due. Huge props to
@elmomuzz.
I really can not confirm what you have experienced with water filtration (thinner more irritating vape)...
Just sent my 3 months old mighty in and received a brand new one together with some dosing capsules and a 18.8 bong adapter and what can I say? Never again shall I mess up the heating chamber by putting the herbs directly into it - the dosing capsules do a great job and after a few sessions my mighty and my capsules look as good and shiny as new from day one. The bong adapter truly is a great piece to have and together with the capsules I do get some thick convenient clouds out of my bong. Definitely less irritating my throat.
But I guess everyone prefers his own way to use this electronical master piece.
Anything that adds length to the vapor path (from the chamber to the mouth) will allow for some cooling and inevitable condensation of vapor in the path. So this is automatically a degradation of the vapor, but should reduce harshness as well. Not necessarily a bad thing, as some folks do need the vapor attenuated, adapted to suit their tolerance for the whatever degree of harshness (btw, I agree with
@rodders83 that
@Bomb33 has a lot more water than necessary in that piece.)
My opinion about whispy vapor is that it has so much to do with strain/pack/dryness/grind/even particular flower that I don't think laying blame on the adapter is exactly correct. Unlike combustion with bong use, using water with a vape is more about adding moisture than about cooling or filtering out impurities. Most folks (but not all!) go the water route in search of a higher temperature experience. A bowl I would do native at 185-190 I can easily do at 205-210 with water. Faster extraction, and more potency per hit. Thick clouds absolutely are possible with a direct GonG adapter (Easy Flow or Muzzmod).
All this said, my usual water setup lately involves a muzzmod, with Mighty inverted directly on to water piece. From the wt to mouth I use a silicone whip, shared with wife. We also love Mighty native and look sometimes just for a change of pace and flavor signature.
Lots of folks/lots of ways to do this! And there is no particular right or wrong, if it works for you.
