Yeah, that's the gap I'm speaking of. I expected a bit of wiggle, and had heard concerns about that fit being too tight on previous prototypes. My head fits over the bowl with about .25-.5mm gap all the way around, and has the angled gap you see in the pictures when you grip the bowl and head together in one hand.
Yea, most likely getting air through that. Darn the luck, Cal will take care of that of course. I needed to tighten my lid down just a bit more. Some gems were holding it up so I unscrewed it completely and it was packed! Ended up removing some so I could screw it down all the way. My heater does turn both ways with some effort, but not a biggie since it seems to be working at the upper 400’s well for me.
It's interesting because I had a beaker with a natural perc because the "less surface area" was theoretically better for flavor and stuff. I found the flavor was actually pretty bad and I coughed a TON. with my goo roo glass, I cough less but it's just such a huge piece and it takes a ton of lung to work it. I don't barely use my hydro base anymore because it's a bit too closed for me. So this new lunar bubbler has pretty much solved all that. I get a tone of air effortlessly with great flavor AND great cooling. Not sure how they did it but they did.
Watch the Couch Log thread. @Beefcake@420Eng is making a 14mm humidifier for dry glass use:
This is what I'm finding, as well. I was drawing strong and fast at first like I needed to for the whip-driven SSV, then overcompensating and drawing too slow to draw the heat through the matrix. After really watching some of the videos here, I dialed in a draw speed and technique that worked really well at 530. This morning, I dropped it to 490 to try the new draw, and I was pleasantly surprised. For anyone else having issues, this is what I did.
The temp differences are explained a way back in the thread
me too.
So that is a pretty extreme difference. If you have your pid set to 500 with the temp at the coil reading 300 something is either way off with your thermometer, the pid, or the coil. I’m not even sure if you’d get vapor at 300. I’ll have to dig through my posts on here but I was taking temps of my coil with a terpometer with the pid set to 500 and it should be way higher than 300. Was that after a good heat soak?@Zuhdj I had seen talk about a 10-ish degree difference to account for heat lost to the banger in an e-nail setup, and I had seen talk to the 50 degree difference between PID setting and actual head/airflow temperature, but I'm seeing closer to 140-190 degrees difference between PID reading and my heater coil. Am I measuring from the wrong point, using the wrong tool, etc.?
Either way, I'm happy with the performance. If I'm left wondering about what I did wrong, then so be it, I won't beat a dead horse. I kinda just want to know how crappy this thermometer is
I suppose I'm looking for the difference between the air temp and the herb itself. I assume the temp will never fully equalize so, even with the convection air being 50 degrees cooler than the PID says, the bowl itself will be even cooler. My question is, how much cooler is the bowl compared to that airstream? So if the bowl is hypothetically 25 degrees cooler than the convection air then we would be able to say the PID setting shows 75 degrees hotter than the temp within the bowl. I want to know the actual numbers though.
It 's fine, it does have an auto-shutoff. It's a bit of a pain in that regard, but I left mine set just for the little security boost,I guess. That and general laziness. ; )Does anyone know the the PID has an auto-off feature? If not, I think I have a defective unit. I left it on for an hour and came back to a cold heater
My advice to everyone using a PID controller driven ball vape is to ignore the numbers relative to anything else. Just think of higher is hotter, but it's not useful to compare even between different vapes on the same PID, let alone the estimated bowl temperature. There are frankly too many other variables (draw speed, glass piece, cannabis cure, ambient temperature, etc) to make this possible anyway.
First I seen the Mod in action. Nice glass.
Yes it has auto off .. this can be changed times or even turn off as well !Does anyone know the the PID has an auto-off feature? If not, I think I have a defective unit. I left it on for an hour and came back to a cold heater
You should put a probe in your bowl. I want to see it! I don't think it will tell you anything useful about vaping, but it would be neat. I'd suggest a high temperature k-type thermocouple. Ideally not the immersion kind, but that will be close enough.
