News of the Toad lichen in his new adoptive family... He lives happy days and is used daily.
I use it almost exclusively for 2-3 weeks (an exception two days ago).
I can now use the glass marbles (even if I don't do it much yet). I made good progress with the learning curve. I need the feeling of warmth less. I count to 7 or 8 for warm-up...and that's perfect...
I continue to use low heat exclusively. I will start testing the high heater in several weeks, once installed in my new apartment.
I am curious and impatient to test this new radiator...
But in the meantime, I'm really happy with the low heating. I get a more even and roasted AVB.
Same for the wooden stems, I will wait until the end of July to test them.
I still love having it in my hand, touching it, stroking it... the feeling is great...
But what I really like the most is that with the right warm-up time I can sip 5-6 seconds and get a very very very satisfying hit.
to be honest when i got the Fw7 about a month or two ago i was afraid going back to pure convection would be difficult... i was even afraid i would prefer the Fw7 over the Toad.. . well that's not the case at all!
It's very personal and relative but I love vaping... the flavors are excellent and the vapor is dense quickly. Everything I was missing in my pure convection vapes (the short draws and the feeling of density)!
Using glass marbles seems to soften the vapor and diminish the flavors a bit...I think next time I try I'll remove even more marbles.
For the battery, I change my batteries once a day. I have rarely descended very low. I once went below 3.7v and felt it quickly. it's quite reassuring!
And on another level, I had already smoked, then vaped in front of my father in very specific circumstances...
he is not very sensitive to cannabis but accepts my consumption...
but I had never put a vaporizer in his hands and detailed the manufacturing with precision... he's an incredible handyman... and a Mac Gyver...
Anyway, he told me about custom screws he had made for a 4x4 engine and I took the opportunity to tell him about Dan...
he was blown away by the workmanship, the precision, the ingenuity, the beauty of the piece, the relief in the lichen button, the texture, the paint job, the craftsmanship... he even raved about the quality of the case... looking for how it was made and looking for the inside seam!
Well, I think my enthusiasm kinda fueled his reaction...but he told me there aren't many people like Dan...and I totally agree with that!
I still feel so privileged and really enjoy my Toad every time I use it...so every time I vape...
moreover about high, it's very relative as a point of view and it depends on a thousand parameters... but it gives me very pleasant slaps! I've happened twice lately to vape the contents of one stem, then start another...one or two inhales...before blowing all the contents out of the stem because I felt that I was going to be too stoned for my next activity (a lunch in this case).
I had mentioned earlier, my "problems" with the engagement of the button... it's been settled for a while, my brain has integrated the right gesture!
Ah, last thought, I've been grinding too big lately with a hemp grinder for less than 3€ and the results have been much less satisfactory.
Here's to a return with a little more hindsight! always positive feedback...
happy vaping everyone!
