All I gotta say is after having the sub even dabs don't compare....nothing beats a green herb hit from the sub....

the Sub has a lot of conduction going on...it's one of the reasons I think it's vape signature is so unique.

A lot of convection too with the vortex action into the heated atomizer. Also I believe that the conduction/convection ratio is affected by how long one lets the herb sit in the bowl before inhaling.

You have to act pretty quick, as the herb starts letting off vapour as soon as it hits the bowl. Not my favourite part of the device, but I understand if it's all part of the process.

The idea of thermal equilibrium is not exactly new, but it's taken to a whole new level by the sub. Even the cloud has a bit of conduction heating as the ELB sits in the heated glass. This makes the temperature of the load being vaporized go up, perhaps not to the point where it would vaporize without any extra help, but it makes the amount of heat that needs to be transferred to the herb to make it vaporize significantly less, which is what gives the Sub it's flash vaporization capabilities.
Most vaporizers have thermal equilibium during heat up but, because of the shape of the elb, and heat retention capabilities, the cloud is the only vape that allows a quick vapor release due to the heater staying close to the temperature you set and the strong inhale needed to allow a stable atmospheric equilibium between the cloud and the bong, will lead to a lowered atmospehric pressure in the bowl. The thing is you bring in a lot of air when you do this but for bong smokers who love the adrenaline rush this is perfect.

The sublimator uses a high heat heater that sits above the herb, and restriction in the downstem, to achieve thick clouds since the drop in temperature when you inhale, and the force of the restricted downstem that brings the air and vapor together will condense the vapor quickly. This is why you get so much reclaim quickly. If you love adrenaline rushes the sub will give you a more powerful one then other vapes. There are long term downsides to this but, I don't want to sound like a hater and want everyone to enjoy themselves.

Remember all of this is alledgedly happening.

I think hunkering down for the winter is going to be a lot more pleasant having the sublimator around! The time should just fly by!! :lol: We are moving into our rainy season now, which lasts until the end of spring essentially. Almost went camping one last time for the year, glad we dodged that bullet, rain, rain, rain!

This also calls for a morning stacker...what to use... a layer of herb, some dry sift, and some sublimate oil. :freak:

:cheers: to that. i am right there with ya. already miss the sun.
pulled out the S.A.D. lamp (double great as a full spectrum light for starts, always had strong clones). 'tween the snow, the sub, and learning guitar, i might just survive with what's left of my sanity. (:worms:)

Tonight will be a double decker night, and I'm gunna test out the UFO for strictly oil hits. I have some sublimate taffy and some solo stem oil and a fresh batch of ISo oil evaping right now. Gunna be a tastey night! Still can't believe the quality of oil comin out of this thing. Perfect amber color and taffy consistency. Yum!

All I need is my sublimator at work and maybe a bed.

I work from home so I have both in my "office". I can't go at it too much during my shift but sometimes a hit every few hours is nice.

Also introduced the Sub to a few more people last night and they were all impressed as usual. I've yet to meet a fellow stoner who didn't love it which can't be said for most other vapes.

How does one get these work from home and sublimate jobs? :D

I was the kid that thought it was cool to light the marshmallow on fire, and quickly bring it up to your face to blow it out. Not great for smores but if you're impatient for your sugar rush it's just the technique. One night in Hawaii on the beach I ended up in the emergency because I misjudged, and part the flaming marshmallow got stuck to the tip of my nose. Just to allay any confusion, the end of my nose was indeed on fire. It only lasted a moment as I quickly submerged my face in an ice chest, but my psyche is scarred for life.

In comparison, the sublimator is a walk in the park! Seriously though, pets can add another level of paranoia to the subliquation. I have had my rig tipped over a few times overnight when it's been off, also I use it on a small metal table with ridges around the outside so it has to fall off of it to do damage. Which it has, but when it's been turned off so all is good so far. Unfortunately, my dogs are in hospice and are a bit senile and they sleep in the sub room/office/man/dog cave.
When I was a kid I had a flaming marshmallow stuck to my cheek so I can relate! Fucking ouch!

Anyone with a solo, torch out the oil onto some parchment paper, perfect for the sub. Similar to sub oil but has a more burnt taste. UFO is good with just dabbin, nice to throw in a dab here and there but it's almost no point cuz I may as well do a double decker:freak:....building up lots of oil tonight!

Hey guys. I got my sub today. It is cleaning itself at the moment. Already have a burn on my finger and it has fallen on the carpet. :disgust: Clumsy me. I have a kill a watt ez but I can't figure out how to make the thing show watts. Any of you with the ez model know how to do it?

There should be an up and down button that you just toggle, no?

Does anyone have a guide to doing dabs with a Sublimator? I've been trying with wand hash and results have not been stellar.

Thanks for the quick reply. Another (new guy) question: how long does the Sub take to start giving forth oil? And, how do most people collect it (I do have some oil slick pads). Thanks.

That all depends on your herb, but I would say you should start seeing oil form after about 7-10 grams if it's good quality. May even be less, if it's really sticky stuff.
