Dab only Sublimator user's first post here.
I'd like to start by saying that I've been enjoying FC for a few months now. Thanks to all the organizer and contributors. I'm not new to vaporizing, having experience with Volcano and vape pens such as Omicron, G-Pen, etc. besides combustion until I got introduced to Sublimator last summer.
I can mainly get low quality kief where I live, so turning it into oil and dabbing it on the Sublimator is my preferred method of daily cannabis use now.
I own both the old Sublimator model (no timer) and the newer Ti-Nail.
I definitely prefer the old Sublimator over the Ti-Nail even though I'm just dabbing oil.
I hate the timer. I wish I knew how to disable it safely. Living with small children, I have to keep my gear under lock, in the master bathroom. Keeping track of the timer for reset and trying to keep it live turns it into an unpractical device. I don't want to waste the time to wait for it to heat up.
Another comparison point between the two units is that the Ti-Nail's straight holes doesn't create the whirling effect of side holes of the original device. The whirling of the smoke adds to the experience and creates a thicker cloud. The plate of the Ti-Nail isn't usually where I dab, I'd rather touch the side of a hole since the plate part ends up wasting some smoke to go up in the air.
