Also wanna hear the best way to clean the bamboo. I had some plant matter fall in there and they are not willingly blowing out.
as for the bowls, I iso soak em and rinse in hot water. then 10 min in the toaster oven on a low temp to dry off.
the elb's get dirty fast! i'd say 3-5 bowls per elb and I notice restriction and want em cleaned.
btw i combusted twice this morning. once a full temp! lol oops. of course it did! and then again at 2. not sure what happened exactly on that one, but i found the bottom part of the elb's herb was where the burning started. cleaned my glass 3x in 2 days! yikes haha
Thanks for the advice. I went ahead and ordered the Evo with the Circ glass. It's kinda expensive, but compared to how much I was spending before on psych visits and drugs? That didn't even fucking work? $670 is nothing. Anyway, I'm sure that if I decide it's not for me, or not worth it, someone will be willing to take it off my hands.While this is highly subjective, I'd venture to guess that the EVO would suit you well, as long as the expense is not unreasonable to you for just limited use. [...] Re the glass, you want maximum diffusion with least amount of pull required. The showercap is for flavor and has the least diffusion. The circ and tree are pretty similar as far as diffusion, for me (and I've heard others say, too) the circ pulls the easiest
I have been enjoying my sublimator since I got it back in the summer. but I noticed that my herb useage had really gone up. with the sub, I can hit my bowl 3x and then i find no point. the vapor from the sub after that is not worth it anymore. and to turn the temp up takes too long to notice the difference.
The sub gives me thick and tasty rips, and the abv comes out golden brownish.
With the evo, my herbs come out significantly darker. and I must say I am feeling those effects. I assumed the sub had destroyed my tolerance because of amount of herb I was going through. but this high I am getting from the evo is profound. a little too much even. I've had to put it away because I found myself over doing it a little. I think the evo is extracting the herbs more fully than I am doing with my routine with the sub.
The cloud is designed to cause turbulence in your herb
I believed in the "herbulence" in the OG Cloud - caused by the top restriction. But the new EVO bamboo - I just don't get how this one works. I've read here somewhere these restrictions are in the bottom of the unit. There was a reason they were on top in the OG - they made up these series of glass heat exchanging chambers which also were triple-mixing the air while heating it. I thought they were moved bit down to eliminate baked resin ring, to make it less likely to break (a restriction on the top is seriously a weak spot, it always broke exactly there) and maybe more reasons. But if they are really in the bottom, it confuses me, why? The heater is on top, right?

Very cool! It makes sense that, since the restrictions cause turbulence, moving them farther away allows more space for the turbulent air to tumble and mix and become a more even temperature.Simple answer is that science/physics showed greater air extraction when moving them further away.
The plastic is a little bit cheapy looking and feeling. It does not give the impression of a $500+ device, but I guess much of what you pay for is the glass. This is purely cosmetic though. The unit works great.
