Hell yeah dude NICE!! Great meaningful post and welcome to the tiny Okin owners club lol
yeah, thank you very much for this warm welcome message to this privileged group!
Hilarious the scared face in your coal.
yeah, I imagine that with the position of the drilled holes, this must have already happened to other users... but the camera was ready!
and I loved this expressive little guy! Hello from the world of Okin!
I still use mine every quarter or so, it's my favorite vape experience no doubt.
You are one of the last to have written several recent messages and I think you have mentioned Okin a few times on Fc in recent years... so this is the video which shows your respect for this vaporizer and your avatar... I had little doubt that I would find you here
And yes, the experience is indescribable... your video speaks louder than words... even if it lacks the warmth, the smells, and the thoughts that accompany a session!
After a large number of sessions (2
) I find the experience particularly gentle and soothing.
and this steam my friends... this steam... it is incomparable. it's unique. I got one or two very good puffs (the "very" must be put into perspective due to my lack of objectivity) but the taste deteriorated quite quickly after that.
At the moment it's a little unsettling. I can't wait to go back! and do lots of tests! I'm definitely going to try to drill the 3 remaining coals this weekend!
I don't mean to hijack your post but here's a video I made last year in tribute to the Okin
Don't really worry about that, I don't take it badly at all, on the contrary!
I obviously like to show off a little by showing off my treasures, but the idea was still to find a few die-hard users!! and then it's not just any video
I've often wanted to post in this thread but don't just because it's dead, hopefully the two of us can revive it.
I saw your previous messages and yes, I understand the hesitation very well!
But 2 will maybe become 3, then 4... if we manage to get a little message from 10 users who bring out their artifact for a session... that'll be around 10%... that would be super cool!
on this subject... with a view to bringing this thread back to life... it's a little late... but as Dan still produces coals... maybe a user with the soul of an engineer could you find ideas for a DIY wreath? something that would fit a tip dynavap, Anvil or other... I don't think there are many people interested, but we're talking about a unicorn all the same... maybe a few people would be curious to test coal heating!!
I mean... like all of Dan's creations, the Okin is sublime... but it's his ingenuity on the heating system that is incredible! (I draw the parallel with the unregulated heating which powers his last 3 vaporizers).
The challenge here is to use materials that anyone can shape without specialized tools... and which resist the heat of coal...
Dan's first prototype was made of bamboo I think...?
in short... a bottle in the sea!
You got me itching to use my Okin again but I'm taking a little break from herb right now; first time back is with the Okin.
very cool ! I'm waiting for you
It's cool as hell Dan is still willing to make more charcoals. I still have a ton but one day I want to make my own but make them about twice as long as Dan does. I remember him saying they might not work as effectively that way, but I usually use two charcoals per bowl so would like to give it a try and some point.
I asked for 500 coals (even if I haven't had confirmation yet).
at the rate of one use per week... I will have it for 10 years... although I am sure my estimate is wrong.
I will never use only one charcoal per week at the beginning... and certainly less in a year or two... or not, who knows?!
And the idea of making your own coals is so cool...
if you do, you will be the second user (unless I'm mistaken) to follow the process provided by Dan. Just for the effort he put into making a tutorial, you should try it man!
But the last one to try wasn't very happy with his first batch. I won't try it myself... I mean... we all know Dan's perfectionism... and his installation is already in place...
I know I won't even be able to get close to the first coals he presented in this thread. and he experimented a lot after...
You two guys are making me dream
some real speaking Okin owners ! Damn, all that is not just a dream
yeah it’s crazy!
but the first post in this thread... and the first design ideas discussed here are from 2014... and I think the last Okin produced was from 2017... Mine, #49 was sent to its first owner in the summer of 2016...
and my first message of interest, at the top of the page72, dates from two years ago!!!
so the hype has died down a bit, hasn't it
So for me, it's just the hardest unicorn to find...
but I reread this thread and I think that some users might part with their precious... it's just a bit of tedious archeology work...
in short... looking forward to retesting this little Okin...
and come back to exchange here
!
edit: anyone interested, who is passing through Montreal is invited to come and share a session!
