Hey Dogs, as usual we're a bunch of softies and are going to let the 420 special run thru the end of the month for those of you waiting on a paycheck, etc. Enjoy!
C'mon Payday. Oh wait theirs Paypal too. 14 days till I'm charged. Jackpot! Order placed.
I will be most interested to hear
@CuckFumbustion's opinion of his new pup once they get acquainted in the lab
. I see only good times ahead & a 3 pack of various stems on sale would be a great compliment especially at the heavily reduced price.
Blown the 4/20 budget ATM. But hard to pass up a 4/20 discount.
@Stevenski had been one of the Good FCers who have been rec'ding a UD to me.
He already knows all about the lab projects I've done with my EQ on the EQ thread and he has been making an effort on trying to same on materials himself. Which I'm sure was much more of a journey and $$$ for him to get his hands on a UD than it was for me.
I've read up about the UD being a miser on materials and being a no nonsense heater core and with minimal components that get in the way. Universal DC 12v for mine. Which means I can rummage through my rats nest of wires at home looking for a 2nd power transformer or perhaps better.
No indicator lights or feedback with the UD. Does it feel warm now ? OK probably GTG then.
Here's what I ordered from UD. This should cover all the bases plus the extras that came with my UD. Thanks
@SSVUN~YAH for the launch kit.
Here is what else Curly is getting from Underdog Aromatherapy direct. Got some plans for the SS tip.
Formed Screens 5pk
SS Tip
Mix 'n' Match Stem 3pk
- Stem 1: Direct Draw (Thick)
- Stem 2: NonG 18/19mm
- Stem 3: NonG 14mm
Still getting to know my Curly UD. The TnT stem is really helping with the learning curve. Instead of having to sort out the best screen placement on top of getting the best heat, while getting accustomed to a loose fit arrangement.
The UD adapter I have has a huge transformer in it. I'm familiar with letting my EQ preheat and leaving it plugged in and warmed up so it's GTG. Where the UD is all about direct power to the core. Anything information on preheating or leaving a UD on for extended periods, smart ways to preheat would be helpful. I have been putting my Aroma cap on my UD to help the SS heat up.
A SS core that heats up a narrow SS wand. It doesn't expand the vapor like other vapes. At least for me ATM. Which is probably a plus for some going for a one hit extraction.
The parts are minimal but appear rugged. Purposely minimal. The air path being the outside of the core(?) and perhaps any narrow gaps between the stem and the rim around the screen. (I'm looking at Ed's TnT Vapcap for this reason. A narrow gap between two pieces of heated metal, being the air path.)
Trying to not let the nice wood grains sway my opinion. But it is a different experience pulling off a wood stem after going glass for a year now. Much less fancy hardwoods.
All the restriction seems to be in the stem area alone. The heater has no feedback going to it and what ever power is pushing behind it dictates how well it powers up and stats heated.
You could cool down the core with enough of a draw and wait for the UD to catch up heat wise. Also a method of cooling down the UD from overheating.
Well saving up for a VPPS setup, If I don't already have something about. There is a special power supply with a 12.5 setting I might have around.
2 dimmers switches on the way.
Took an odd small glass wand that I bought on impulse and fitted a 14mm basket screen in it. (I own a
@DDave kit that comes with the 14mm screens made for the 14mm wands) Placed the flat rim part of the screen on the top of the rim of the core of the UD and heated things up in that manner. If you can hold it in place long enough, it will vape with glass nearly all convection heat. I think the conduction of the SS and the narrow vapor path and lack of retriction is what contributes to the UD's performance.
But I've only owned one for 3 days, So I'm no expert. anybody care to chime in?
but then I just let them air dry and they are good to go!
about how it's nice but I much prefer X,Y,Z and Underdog was on that list 
! Trial & error is exactly what it will take
