I'm new to log vapes, and it is quite possible you already answered this question, but what exactly would the big differences in performance be between the TT and the HI? Currently the only vape I own personally is the MFLB, but looking at getting a log in the near future and your designs look pretty good.
Thanks J.R.R.Tokin' and thehunger, but just a couple of clarifications.
I was mainly going for a small size and great air flow. The fast heat time and high temperature is a bonus. I wasn't trying to make a cloud chaser.
It actually has worse heat retention than the TT. It does have better heat / air conduction. The heat is taken from the TT heating element and quickly conducted to the heavy heat sink / wood body where it is retained (good for heat massage / hand warming). Since the HI has very little metal mass, it is not able to conduct much heat away from the heating element and more is available to heat the air. The heating element is identical in both units (just shorter in the HI). Only so much heat is available. The HI just puts more of it into the air rather than the metal.
Performance wise, the TT has good airflow with a fairly high temperature. The HI has excellent airflow and a very high temperature. As with all vaporizers, the technique and material being used will determine how well it performs. Knowing what voltage you are using is also very important. 12 volts is really all that is needed and some adapters can put out more than what they say.
Either unit can be enjoyed slowly and tastefully. The HI will just extract more because of the higher temperature and it can do it a bit more quickly because of the better airflow.
