Great news, I'm sure you'll like it even with low grade hashes to feed it, but the better oils are a treat for sure. May I suggest a different strategy on your attack? Learn the machine with the QISO. Get to understand it so you can control it well, get big hits when you want them on demand. Then switch over and enjoy the good stuff under better conditions. You only get one chance, make it a good one. If you're concerned about taste, remember this unit is designed to be boiled squeaky clean if you wish. Just be sure it's good and dry before you put more oil back in. I use the toaster oven at 200 F for 20 minutes or so. You can give it a 'test listen', if there's a lot of water left it sizzles when you power up.
Let's hope the worm turns for you and supply improves. It really does make sense from a medical point of view I think. If we can only get the Feds to find something better to do than bust dispensaries. We 'lost' another high profile one in Oakland last week.....

After working with the Rev and the LR AVA, I feel pretty confident that I understand how to work it proper
. I am about to try using everclear instead of iso on my next oil run. See how that differs in consistency and flavor. So far what is attracting me to the dart is the loader. Looks like it makes things so much easier. I saw KT's tip on pre-warming as you dab, makes sense. I do know about how the oil needs to soak in the first few times to break in the dry ceramic. People may not realize that brand new loads tend to just prime it, and won't produce much vapor, so I drip a bit, warm it to let it soak in, then drip a bit more, but not enough to flood it. I'm glad I got in on this when the Rev came out, should shorten the learning curve quite a bit. I was foolish with the Rev in the beginning. I went straight for the solids, and got the thing way too hot to handle, and got disappointed because I had a friend over, distracting me, and it wasn't working very good. Once I sat down alone with it, cleaned it out and tried some oil, it all started to make sense. Most of these devices have that break in period that you have to be super patient with, and once they get going, look out!
I know all about the Oakraid, so ridiculous, and I could say more bad things, but there is no point. I just keep trying to visualize us all happy, and free to choose for ourselves, with cannabis growing everywhere, and try to send positive energy out there anyway, in spite of how it really makes me feel inside which is unspeakable.
Killem with KINDNESS!
