Do the Alpha Plus dogs run on a different VVPS than the other heaters? I have an Sc3+ and am wondering if I can use the same VVPS I got with it to run an Alpha Plus.
same VVPS, longer heat soaking and longer airpathDo the Alpha Plus dogs run on a different VVPS than the other heaters? I have an Sc3+ and am wondering if I can use the same VVPS I got with it to run an Alpha Plus.
Thanks. Pulled the trigger.same VVPS, longer heat soaking and longer airpath
Couldn’t agree more. I don’t think I could even handle an alpha+ If the ones I have already give me lung busters.Good to have all these heater options, but my SC3 Dogs are the little engines that could in my pack, beauties that chug right along, nice and steady.
I'm jealous!!I got a couple dogs in the mail yesterday!
the big dog on the right (chonky dog) originally had an sc3 core … i really wanted to try the newer sc3+ core but i know i’d never get a dog i liked better than the chunky dog … it’s a custom piece made from the “fuck you tree” made from the black locust tree that burned and fell during the paradise “camp” fire.
from dave ( @underdog ): While many of the trees survived with some scorching one in particular didn't. It was a tree that was beside the driveway that I always joked about someday cutting down and making vapes out of. Well it decided to fall during the fire and first smashed thru our travel trailer before crushing the truck as well.
i love everything about my “chonky dog” … looks great, has some heft to it (hence the chonky dog nickname).
so i contacted dave and asked him to replace the sc3 core with an sc3+ core … and then asked him to put the sc3 core in a different dog … i told him to find an old gnarly beat up piece of wood, he picked a piece and sent me a pic and this was his description: It's a piece of spalted Hackberry that's been around the block and seen some things. Maybe been in a knife fight or two.
i loved it and he put my old sc3 core into it … perfect!
for those who have made it this far into my ramblings ... here's a little announcement ... dave now has spiked cooling stems available ... he has them in both the standard core size and the alpha core size. they work great and really cool down the vapor! you can see the standard core glass cooling stem in the picture!
i always love working with dave ... such a pleasant and smooth transaction every time!
so now i have an sc2 core (crash oak ... made from an oak that fell/crashed on their property) ... along with the gnarly dog sc3 ... and the fyt custom dog now with the sc3+ core
gnarly dog ... chonky dog ... glass cooling stem
crash oak
I'm jealous!!
dave said he is gonna start offering/doing more upgrade work!I'm jealous!!
The Alpha/X/Plus has the same bowl, I think around 0.15gr for the GonG/Thick Glass Stem, depends where the screen is set (the NonG can be filled with less herb than GonG/Thick glass stem) and it's known that also the Lotus vaporizer's WPA/bowl is compatible with Alpha/X/Plus , and Lotus bowl can hold around 0.2gr....How much material can hold an alpha plus bowl?
Thanks!
high temp for sure..Not sure what temp at 10.8 is on an alpha, but my friend wanted to try extract on top of flower
Worked really well...too well...
Can also roll up some extract in organic cotton or rayon. Those tend to hold up a bit better to the higher heat needed to vape extract and don't impart the 'fully vaped flower' taste.Not sure what temp at 10.8 is on an alpha, but my friend wanted to try extract on top of flower

hey, the Alpha serie has more airflow, and they do weight more, but SC3+ my unit, only weighs around 99gr, so I don't think the Alpha/+/X weighs more than 120gr or so, not too muchThese UD's look and sound soooo great, and I'm learning a lot here. I'm looking at a Black Walnut Alpha (with a cool shape) possibly with figuring, and the phat Wormy Claro Alpha X, and at a heady glass stem. It looks like a lot of you love the SC3's, but I have questions about the Alphas...the new Alpha+ units are 15% hotter/bigger than the Alpha X, and the Alpha X is hotter/bigger than the standard Alpha? And I've read a few things about the Alpha+ "upgrade," but does that mean that folks are converting older logs to the A+, or are they buying new Alpha+ logs that are a bit heavier for the added heat?

I took the SC3+ also because my favorite bong is 14mm. Alpha stems/wpa are only 19mm.
I like my SC3+ because the bowl is not too big...
If your bongs are 19mm mainly, take some Alpha
That's an awesome log! Had my eye on that one for a minute. Kinda looks like a Purple Days. Great choice!Thanks, that's informative about the 14mm joints. My eyes are bigger than my lungs, so to speak, and I keep listening to the heaviest hitter folks, but I'm a vapor lightweight (my daily driver is RSO) with an edible tolerance problem.
BTW I thought the Alpha+ needed a thicker/denser piece of wood, but I might have dreamed that. Still, how can I not fall in love with this thing?

I’m a baby bird lunger myself and don’t need a heavy hitter. I have SC3, SC3+, and Alpha and they all get me exactly where I need to be. So unless you are a back to back power user, need bigger loads, or are hosting a vape circle, any UD from SC3 and on is a good choice.Thanks, that's informative about the 14mm joints.
