Thanks for the inspiration! I had meant to get something, and yet here I was thinking of buying more/other vapes! (Typical, I know!)
I'm not set up on Amazon so I had a search last night, that Gear4life is on evilbay but too dear. I ordered a different cheap one and a not so cheap one, I'll post a pic when I get them.
There are lots to be found if you measure and put in the work!!
Some really interesting 'tactical' solutions too.
The Berlin case that @Nube Scrutator mentioned before christmas seems to be amazon only too, I should join that sh*t!
Meanwhile I found a leather pouch here belonging to my sister, and I think it makes me look like a transvestite biker crocodile dundee type when slung round my neck!
When I first bought a Crafty (later traded in for a Mighty) I was looking for a pocket vaporizer able to produce big clouds without charring the plant material. Both vaporizers actually perform very well in this category.
Recently I have started to take the opposite approach. Reading so much about terpenes and their benefits inspired me in this direction. I live in San Francisco and visit clubs that tout extensive descriptions of various flavor profiles. Yes I love to smell the herb before using, indeed really getting into different smells, yet when put in the vaporizer after maybe two hits it all pretty much taste the same, alas.
So now I start off at a MUCH lower temperature, 315 to be precise and have MANY flavor hits that produce very little visible flavour but taste fantastic and definitely start to produce an effect. I finish off at 345 or 356, very satisfied.
The dosing caps have also changed my technique completely. As for these flavor hits I'm more interested in convection instead of conduction, I actually wait to put the dosing cap in until the device has heated to the desired temperature. This prevents a slow toasting during the warm up period and gives even more opportunities to actually TASTE the herb. I do not know whether I get more benefits from these different terpenes this way, but it's certainly more enjoyable for me really noticing these very different flavors, from strain to strain.
Of course when I'm on the go I usually go back to leaving the cap in while the heating is taking place and yes occasionally I still go back to the bigger clouds LOL
Cripes! I had tried winding mine down to 166C and thought that was low, now amazed that 315F or 157C even gives visible clouds too!
Beautiful tastes too, but I need too choose my CU cleaner more carefully, as the perfume of detergents can seep out of the CU for days and it nearly ruined the start of my week!
Can get results from using the Mighty many ways, it's great to hear and try all the different tunings and frequencies!
EDIT: Re: the Dosing capsules. If I was to experiment with them and had a choice to go for the Magazine with 8 Capsules, or 40 Capsules Only, what should I aim for first?
I'm aware the Magazine holder may be useful, but if the Capsules get ruined quickly enough it might be better for me to order 40 and come up with my own way of storing them etc.
or, With a little care, would the Capsules hold up long enough to make 8 of them a useful entry choice for experiments in Mighty and Volcano?
Just that I have other items I need now and I'll be ordering again sometime soon. Thanks
Are they new yeah, and genuine!? Many stores are selling refurbished units now too. It sounds real familiar though and might have been mentioned here before.I see mighty for 272€ and crafty for 215€ at Amazon.de - is this real??
I think the story turned me on to a way of tracking all the worlds' amazons for the best prices. And maybe Germany's amazon is always cheaper for some weird reason?
I suppose it's also not unusual to find one dealer with a genuine thing cheaper than the others but sometimes it doesn't work out so easily.
Recently I also saw that another German (coincidence?) vape and glass store Verdampftnochmal.de has become one of the first to discount their Mighty and Crafty prices to the tune of 8%, which is normally against S&B policy apparently.
Maybe there is an official reduction coming soon across the portable board, as tends to happen when vapes age a bit. I know the Volcanos were just after having a small price reduction when I picked mine up in November.
