Your advice is well received, thank you! Every chamber gets better and better as I become more acquainted with its operation and how far I can push it.
I did have a few quick questions:
- With regards to the PERFECT carry case that you sent, I hope to stink this up to high hell over the years. Is the pouch machine washable? It appears the color is pretty well set, but I don't want to risk ruining it.
- I can get lost looking into the lichen button- so fucking cool! Seeing the simple and precise action when looking up the battery sleeve is also real neat and easy to see how it engages. As it all appears very mechanical, I am curious, is there a simple way to lessen the tension required to press the button?
- With all the different stem configurations, pear, burl, glass, glass w/beads, etc., what is your preferred stem setup?
I am using the high heater, and finding that [with my draw style] my sweet spot is coming in around the 5-6 count and going for the long pull until my mouth senses temps need to back down. But I am going to take your advice and just rip harder to cool versus backing off the button.
I have a ton more exploring to do, but am loving the beauty and simplicity of the entire package. From pouch to stems, to the fucking art! This is such a sweet package!
Will get some new photos over the weeks, welcome home!
