hey there,
finally and with direct advice of enrico himself, ufo and mercury kit (small tube) gave me 3 wonderfull sessions yesterday. it cooked my very small pinch of flower like a charm. the effect is clearly very strong and different.
he gave me also a serious plumber torch and now the heating is another world it works well. big and large brush style blue flame applied on all the ufo (not just the niddle).
The advice i took from hime was:
-never torch during hitting
-torch evenly for 2 min
the fact from session 1.5 : i torched it while inserted in the bowl, i did not have the chain because the nioddle i used did not have a hole of attachement. so i was maneouvering the ufo with leathermann. I torched the ufo for too long i think and the ufo was stuck on bowl, when i lifted it the niddle was not rigid anymore, so an immediate plasticity appeared and the threadings of niddle appeared broken.
Then i finished the job by pulling out all threading of niddle and i took the niddle of the minitube (that i replaced by teflon HA stem) to have an ufo back. What a feature of conception!
the advice i give by experience is :
now, when cold i torch the ufo not properly seated on the bowl, so no more stucking situation.
i am not sure by the effect of the same situation by pulling on ufo by the chain making efforts more axial.
Anyway there is a point where too much torching is too much.
Well folks mercury kit is a real sturdy dabbing station and flower power instant extraction. I cant wait for an appolo of my own.
congrats enrico. great products and customer service.
