I still don't get what curly wood is :lol:

I googled some pics and it looks a bit like a tigerish burl. Is it a burl?

I think me wallet prefers a few months wait anyway, lol. The other half of my BM twig still whispers to me though, can't believe no one picked up that one or the Ambrosia piece yet.

So do you have a secret cleaning method? lol or is the secret that your nose doesn't work
Click to expand...
yes the secret is my nose doesn't work well, I've never cleaned my silicone stems so far. I do clean the glass one sometimes(is also used more often), but only by scraping the wandhash out, except once when I gave it a soak in some liquor, rinsed it and drank the liquor.
the silicone doesn't have a buildup I can scrape off, only some coloration, so I leave it be.
for a long time I could only smell very strong smells, lately my nose has begun to get better(comes in episodes tough, sometimes I suddenly smell little smells everywherre, another day I don't snell much again), and lately I dscovered that a lot of things that I never knew/expected to have a smell have a smell. like chocolate for example. and my latest discovery is vapor(was holding my nose above the opening in the glass stem by coincidence, some vapor wafted out)
I also can't smell the smoke of combusted weed, I can smell a general smokesmell and I can distinguish tobaccosmell(most of the time), so I can only identify it's weedsmoke by ruling out tobacco(but around here everyone mixes those 2, altough a joint still smells a little less strong as a cig, but not such a big difference)
before I switched to vaping I also never tasted weed. I could taste the strongertasting hashes, but not weed. only after I learned the pure taste trough vaping I could also distinguish the taste when combusting

Going camping this weekend and had a question :huh: ... How well do you think these would run off of a small generator? Would love to show it off and possibly get some other friends in the pound :dog: , but I am afraid of lackluster performance without a proper wall plug. Anyone try it? I do not have a variable volt thing-a-ma-jiggy...
Another option is using my car plug, but my car has to be running or in the "on" position in my case, so less than ideal. Do they heat up faster with a car plug (will be using my MFLB car plug which I hear works, right?) than on the wall? About how long for a insulated core twig to heat up in a car? Sorry for all the questions, but I am psyched for these guys to see this thing!

It will differ per UD, happy. And on what voltage your generator produces of course. I could answer your question better if I knew what the resistance of your UD is. If your UD works well on a standard 12V PSU it shouldn't be a problem (assuming you use a 12V generator, anything more than that is a no go), but if you're used to an unregulated PSU your results may vary.

Your UD should run just fine off a small generator, I'm assuming you're planning on using the generator to make AC voltage and then power the UD with it's stock power supply from that? If that's the case it should work just like at home. If you're planning on running it from a 12v output from a generator then it will run cool and you'd probably be better off running it from the car. The car will run the UD warmer than what it runs at at home if the car is running and a bit cooler if the car is off (depends on the state of your battery, etc). The insulated core Twig with the car running should heat up in less than 10 minutes in most cases, probably 20-30 minutes with the car off.

Great Scott!
With my prototype core the twig is heating up in the car in 2-3 min tops. That is my car though. In other cars I've had it heat in ~5. My car must be really pushing the juice haha.

@ AA - Oh no dude that sucks, poor bubbler! What happened?

@ darkrom - yeah your car probably puts out 13.5v to 14v, not uncommon, it'll definitely get hot quick at that power. For prolonged use in the car the LED dimmers are a good way of cooling things off a bit so as to not have a Dog meltdown.. :freak:

@ SM - haha yep at least you'd be medicated first. In all seriousness though an UD isn't going to drain a well charged battery overnight, at least not to the point where you wouldn't be able to start the car. That being said if someone wanted to run their Dog from the car for a really long period of time (like all night) I'd suggest starting the car and letting it charge the batteries for 10-15 minutes every 3-5 hours just be on the safe side. :peace:

I had it on my window sill with the window open, and someone opened my door and a gust of wind blew it on the floor.

Although after having it I couldn't go without, so I went back to my head shop and they had gotten some of the bc49's you previously posted, so i picked up one of them :p. The bowl is a little smaller than my old one has anyone kind of beveled their silicone stem tip to fit better into the bowl? I'm considering it but those type of things always work better in my head lol

what did you guys pay for yours? trying to figure out how reasonably priced my local store is.

Oh man, that blows (haha) I don't think I've ever heard of wind knocking over someones glass and breaking it.. at least now you've got an interesting story to tell. :lol:

Not sure what the going price is for the BC 49s since Abysmal ordered mine for me but I think they're in the $40-$50 range IIRC. I tried beveling a stem but it actually made a worse seal for me but it was a pretty bad hack-job I did so maybe it could be done better. Using the thick silicone with a straight cut makes a good, easy seal on mine though so I don't know if it's worth any more effort, at least for me.

Ill just continue using the stem how it is then, because I'm sure my hack job will be much worse than yours :p

And yeh, its a tiny room and the wind was pretty hard, when the door opened it just opened the flood gates lol

I should have seen it coming honestly :p and I got mine for 45 before tax I think, so not too bad for a shop on a college campus where prices are usually inflated.

My stock one works but runs cooler than preferred. I believe I read somewhere that these power supplies are unregulated and therefore I was in search for a better regulated hotter (smaller) ps. Any recommendations besides the vv ps?

does anyone have an easy method of getting a new screen into that small silicone stem?

Ah, gotcha.. the stock one runs at between 13.25v and 13.75v for most users so the 13v power supply you linked to would actually run cooler than the stock one. Given that range of voltage from the stock one you'll be hard pressed to find a fixed unit that gets you hotter without being too hot. A regulated 14v one might do the trick but a 15v one is too hot and will damage the UD so you might have to experiment a bit to find something that gets you dialed in just how you want.

A variable power supply is really the way to go if the stock on doesn't get you the temps you want but I know it's not a particularly elegant or simple solution so it might not be good choice for you.

@ propjoe - looks like SM already pointed you in the right direction. The instructions there sum up the process pretty well, once you know how to do it's just a matter of practice as it takes a fine touch to get them just right. At least vapor makes a sweet reward.. ;-)

It was exactly what I needed to make my dog perfect! About how much will this thing vary the tempure?

Good question, I haven't done any real measuring but I think it can lower the temp way down lower than vaping temp.. with the high-end being full power from the power supply I think. You'll have to do some testing and let us know how you make out, at least it'll be a fun experiment. ;)

There is nothing I like more than combining science and herb :p Iv been using it about 2/3 between off and max, but their is a lot of room to turn after off as well keep in mind
