One last review of the liquid capsules.
For the last few weeks we have used the liquid capsules for all of our mighty vaping sessions. We started with a normal herb filled cap and a liquid cap with rosin per evening. Soon we noticed the herb hits seemed wispy and not as intense as the rosin hits. So we are exclusively vaping with the liquid capsules now.
I found early you don't want to load a lot of rosin in each cap. If you do it gets sticky and could leak into the heater. We came close once. And we do get some resin on the top of the caps at times. No real problem though. For us and with rosin a dab of about .1 gram works great.
I used to start at 390F and ramp up the temps from there, now we start at 410F and start hitting at 390F. The hits are rich and flavorful right to the end. At the end the vapor gets wispy and without much flavor. In a group session I swapped a spent cap for a full one without turning off the vape. It worked flawlessly.
I have removed the screen from the cooling unit some time ago. Using the liquid capsules exclusively keeps particulates like plant matter out of the cooling unit. So what's left is resin. When I pull a spent cap and it's sticky on top, and this happens every 4-6 capsule sessions, I take a qtip soaked in Iso alcohol to clean the cooling unit around the intake hole. And a toothpick to scrap out the groove where the screen fits, as resin builds up there. I still havn't cleaned the cooling unit since switching to all liquid capsule use, but I've checked it and its defiantly gooey. But it tastes great and I'll let it go a while and hope to get quite a resin haul when I do finally clean it. The capsules themselves clean up easy in iso, and I reuse them without issues.
Now the cons, for concentrate use it definately could use more heat. I take the wire mesh out and soak the caps and mesh in Iso after use. There seems to be a lot of unvaped resins left. But I have not extracted the ISO yet so I don't know exactly how much. But I think more heat would be more efficent and cause less left overs. So S & B if your listening.......
I havn't tried micro doses yet but I have no reason to think that wouldn't work. But all in all the mighty and the liquid capsules work very well. Not perfect, but well. Much better than my ceramic bowl pen, taste wise and for cleaning as well, but not quite as good as my dnail sic halo, although the dnail is not portable. I think we are very close to having great tasting and efficient portable concentrate vapes, but until then the mighty will be my portable concentrate go to.
