Hi THC,
Thanks for the suggestions on the carts, I will adhere to those guidelines in the future and hope for leak free carts. I meant to say 7.4V, and yes they were fully charged before use and I let it warm up for 1 minute before I used the hammer on the herb and oils.
I had to double check your website and it does mention on the Hammer item description that it can be used for vaping herbs in your water pipe. I really disagree with this. The form factor for one makes it very difficult to touch more than 10% of the flowers in the bowl resulting in a very unsatisfactory experience. If you could perhaps guide me on the correct way to use this hammer to vape herbs it would be much appreciated because so far I am not seeing how this can possibly produce adequate vapor from flower bowls from my use with it.
The flowers that do contact the hammer gives off a pretty good amount of vape, so the problem becomes how to increase the surface area of the heating element relative the the flower mass.
I drew up a sketch of a design for a hammer that I think would work much better for a herb vaporizer. I gotta say I feel like I got ripped off on the hammer since it does not vape flowers well at all and it is advertised as being used for that. I was going to pick up a 1200 but this has turned me off quite a bit after using the 750 for a while. I would suggest rewording the features for the hammer to not include herb vaporization.
It isn't a matter of not seeing the vape cloud with the hammer, it's a matter of not being able to heat enough of the bowl to create enough vapor worth the time extracting it with this tool. not to mention it is super messy moving the rod around in the bowl and clogs the bowl easily since the tendency is to press down a bit on the flowers to improve heat transfer and penetration of the ceramic rod.
I don't want to offend you guys with my sketch, it's just a suggestion and one I think would solve the issues with the current design. And again this only applies to vaping herbs and I make a big deal of this b/c your website advertises that this device does the latter. If the item description was more realistic/accurate I wouldn't have any issue with it.
Basically you would take the hammer "disc" and press it on top of a bowl of flowers inhale and enjoy. the design isn't perfect but it would alleviate the #1 issue and that's increasing the surface area contact between heating element and flower
