Dude... I already tried it with .1 or less (didnt weigh it) and it didnt work. at all. no vapor. it just melted to the sides and would not produce vapor. We tried this with both oils twice.
And yea.. I take "fifth gram dabs" but thats not my fault, I need it to properly medicate. That doesnt mean my portable vape shouldnt produce visible clouds on small amounts of oil.
And yes, we tried two kinds. Homemade BHO (very sticky wax like) and amber glass (looks like honey jolly rancher, but can bend like taffy)
Yes, I got that you first tried a small load. But didn't melt it down? Got no good results and added more. Now you have half a gram in there, but still apparently not melted into the ceramic far enough to vape (or the heater isn't hot enough which seems unlikely). The missing step, at least I think it's missing, is the 'melt it into the sponge' part. It puddles up, shimmers a bit like a pool being disturbed by a big fish below then suddenly drains in like a small sink with a huge drain plug that's just been pulled....kind of 'flushes down' if you follow? The texture of the ceramic then shows through on top and vapor wisps form around the edges of the ceramic floor plate. That step.
I understand the need for the dose you use, and certainly attach no blame or anything similar to it. I'm sorry if you took it that way, it was meant objectively. I think it points to a second problem, separate from the first most likely. Even after we get your Revolution working as well as everyone else's (I'm confident it's a matter of bad hardware, concentrate or technique...perhaps in combination even) that will still remain. In the end it's probably not going to be useful if it's only going to give you a few percent of what you're looking for (as a rough guess I'd say 4% or so based on 6 solid hits from 50mg). I know I wouldn't be happy having to take 25 hits (and probably including a refill) to get what I want in one. Glad I don't face that issue, I'm not at all sure how to address it.
Please keep us posted? Interesting experiences for sure.

Hah. I'd love to let you guys test it.
Yea, I sent them an email. I don't know how much I can say to them about me using bho, not sure how they respond to it.
I'm gonna try a different kind of concentrate tomorrow (alot harder) and clean the cart before hand and see if it helps any.
Naw, you don't want me testing this, it's confusing enough now without me adding. Thanks for the offer, though. Let's save it for a last ditch effort?
I wouldn't worry about BHO, we specifically discussed it when I picked mine up and got 'the grand tour'. That's where I got the 'four, five drops tops' advice. From 'da Man'. Otherwise it can melt through the heater chamber (after the sponge soaks up all it can hold) then down the air passages, out the holes above the threads and down into the switch plugging up the works (which obviously hasn't happened to you). They won't freak at BHO, it's be extensively tested.
Good show on the fresh try with different material. A huge plus would be 'known good' concentrate (in this machine), but the chances of 3 in a row being problematic seems remote to me. Please do start with a small bit on the ceramic and see if you can get it to melt down and disappear? TIA
Good luck in your Holy Quest.
