Well I'm becoming a fan. DAY 4 but first day of new herb.
First off the grain of the herb is very important.
Using the powdery bottom of the bag stuff just frustrated the hell out of me.
Second is that the batteries must be topped up and then some initially. At least I think this was my mistake and things improved after a couple good cycles.
Also, since I use it for ecig as well, I have been using whatever battery juice is left in unit to use for a quick chamber preheat.
So in reading above and others I did the course grind (now I think the statement "pea size" is a little misleading as only about 3 peas would fit in it...LOL) and was very impressed. Not huge fumes by no means but very nice taste. The new herb was kind of dry but sticky.
Tasted the same as it smelled in the bag. mmmmm
Full bowl got me 6 hits counting the first warm up hit.
So next up was the same with fresh batteries and 75% bowl fill. Again from reading the wise folks above. Now I was very, very stunned. 25% less herb and still managed 5 hits and they were ALL great. Even the warm up hit had some vape.
So did the math, comparing it to my IO, yes this time I had my scale and calculater out.
IO 100% Fill TV 100% Fill TV 75% Fill
340/260 mg 25% 110/75 mg 27.3% 70/50 mg 28.6% Before/After Effective Vape.
22 Hits (
6.5 H/100mg) 6 Hits (
5.5 H/100mg) 5 Hits (
7.1 H/100mg)
Now all the hype makes sense. The is very effecient when running at 5 hits per bowl. Kinda hard on the batteries though.
So combined with the IO it's an awsome team. Both great portables, one for sit back and relax and one for quick but slow washroom breaks....
If it gets any better will let you all know.
