Hmm here is all my Stems in review.
Remember I have a standard core if that means anything. I have not played with the stems at all as far as modifying them with tips.
Glass is always going to taste good and if I want glass I use the glass. Yes a bit harder to clean but you get the purity.
In truth the Nylon is nice because it stays dirt free mostly and is easy to get clean when debris builds up. The SS tips I feel I can keep the dog on longer than the glass ends so I use the dog a little different with them. The flavor isn't hurt much, if at all. Just nylon stems hold less material.
Funny how the SS stem, without anything else, has the best flavor of the UD made stems though. With a 10mm attachment I have been paring it with water and letting loose.
Like I said in my last post though my favorite stem is Ed's. The wood is awesome and his SS tip is huge and goes around the UD heater, like the glass. They really should have him make them regularly for the dog as wood stems are perfect with it. Flavor kicks too.
I really like the UD vapor wet, but the SS stem produces the best dry vapor.
I would agree with there customer service, I had an O ring break after the first day. I emailed them directly about it and they sent me 2 in the mail, no questions asked! It's service like this that will keep me as a happy, loyal customer!On top of all of that there was a very special surprise in my package. A NEW SS STEM!!
I was planning to order one but was so busy Sunday and was having trouble getting a free shipping code to work I just said forget it I just need this pup in the air headed home, I can just get a ss stem later. I would like to send a huge thanks for that freebie I was taking back by the generosity truly great people
hey! first post here.
I discovered the underdog on reddit and after consideration I decided to order one. I received it fast and I'm already a big fan. Excellent work UD team!
when I'm not medicating, I'm using the UD for aromatherapy. I see here http://underdogvapes.com/vvps-links that 3-4.5v is the recommended voltage for the aromatherapy cup. I have the dimmer switch that's recommended (the Hitlights one from amazon). About where on the dimmer dial would be 3-4.5v?
Just pulled the trigger today. Looking forward to getting the UD next week. I was wondering though, is it possible to use concentrates? If so how?
My UD is my daily driver for flower along side the Haze V3.0.
And my god, does this thing conserve herb!
Concentrates will work but they aren't ideal flavor wise except in the SS stem. Like with all my Haze I use cut SS pads to keep it clean when I use them.
Ed made me a very nice wood stem just for the UD. It has a really huge SS stem that fits around the bowl of the dog. Great airflow. Totally worth it.
Degummed hemp fiberDo you have to use cotton?
Do you have to use cotton?
No a SS concentrate pad made by S&B that I cut down. I don't think cotton should be used with most vapes at all.Do you have to use cotton?
I've never had a problem using 100% pure cotton in any vaping capacity. It is an accessory staple in my arsenal.No a SS concentrate pad made by S&B that I cut down. I don't think cotton should be used with most vapes at all.
Question for ya'll: Anyone know of a rubber or silcone cap (something like a thin MFLB battery cover) to put on the SS end of the nylon stems? I like packing a couple stems and saving one for later. A cap would be nice to ensure no flower is falling out.
Thanks!
Exactly, I dislike the taste and I always scorch it by accident. SS pads do it so much better for oil and (though I don't use it) e liquid too. It's because they are vegetable matter and absorb the oils, and e juice far more cleanly than cotton. Much purer flavor too. No offense to those who like cotton btw. Maybe just try one SS pad and see if you aren't impressed.I am with @mikeben in regards to the cotton, obviously plenty of people use it perfectly fine, but I find it imparts a taste that I don't particularly like, and am always worried about burning it. SS pad cut up all day!
Wait, can you vape e-juice in the underdog? How do you do it?Exactly, I dislike the taste and I always scorch it by accident.

Honestly I just have had bad luck with it, I can't seem to not burn it and the SS pads work for my needs so I stick to them. Totally cool you can get good results.I'm not knocking SS pads bc they rock w/ errl, however, I can't scrape my gong or stem clean with a tiny bit of steel and vape it, like I can with hemp fiber or organic cotton. The vaporist toolkit is a vastly dynamic and I love it!
