Yeah, I think I'm starting to get the hang of it now. I just finished most of what was in there. Sipping on it like suggested. I would liken it to hitting a touch that you don't want to suck the cherry in your mouth. Was hitting real good, clouds anyway. I just went and loaded another dab, probably close to .1g...a tad less. Anyway, it's like it clogs the air holes in the bottom and you (I) have to hit it like a cigarette until the air holes get clear. Definetly a learning curve. just have to get rid of the metallic taste, other than that...I am really liking this.
Thought of a question regarding loading this thing, and this will be my next test when I load it. I have been top loading it and taking my butane torch and taking one, maybe two quick passes where it is stuck to the sidewall, and then again near the base to let the oil settle over the ceramic. Should I be wanting the oil to stick to the side, but not pooling on the ceramic disc to create better airflow? Man...that was a long setup for a question.
Great, we're making progress. Who knows, by the time you get a handle on it hopefully the taste will be squared away as well.
Blazing gives you the wrong instincts for these guys I think. There you pull on it, air comes in, the cherry fires up and more heat is generated. More than enough to heat the cold air coming in, the works gets hotter and fast as the mass is low. Here we have maximum heat energy available with no air movement. The draw can only cool it off. Pull harder, cool more. If you could force enough air in it'd be air cooled and never vape anything.
I tend to load a little less than that for that reason, I don't like flooding it. The idea is to melt the oil
into the ceramic. It's not all that big, there are two pieces, the one you see (quite thin) and a ring around the heater itself below it. It's maybe 1/8 inch tall and maybe 1/16 or a little more thick in the wall. Like I said, it has the heater inside it and the tube outside, not much room. Even less than it looks like from the outside since the heater is actually inside the brass base which is itself inside the plated outer tube. TV says it'll hold 4 or 5 drops, I figure when I recharge I've already got 1 or 2 left from before.
BTW, the spot that jams is below that, in the threaded bit where the input holes are above the threads. Get too much in there and it can run into the switch....I was warned not to do that early on.
So that's how I load (usually down the top or through the window by pulling the top half straight up (no mess afterward). I put it directly on the floor and heat it until it melts in before putting it back together and hitting it. Oil gets dripped directly on. Bubble or similar hash gets melted some and poked down solidly with a toothpick before showtime. The latter needs to be stirred every hit or two since it won't melt in but the results can be well worth it.
Play with it. As they say 'it wants to teach you how to use it'.
