I have never found an answer to which components of cannabis vapor are actually visible white gas. We all presume that more visible vapor equals more of the cannabinoids that we want extracted, but I have never seen a break down of all of the gases in vapor and their visibility.
I mean my supreme v3 will milk a piece much easier than the evo or a grasshopper, I mean I don't own a hopper so I can only speak on using it a couple times but I do not see it keeping up with my supreme. Anyways with the supreme the vapor is thicker than any other vape I have used, when you heat it above 180c. Below that temp you can still fully extract your material, you get just as medicated as well, I mean You could be missing out on some of stuff that gets extracted at extremely high temps but it still does the trick. Like the supreme v3 heated to 165c will give you less visible vapor and the same buzz, at least for the most part.
The same goes for most other vapes IME, like vaping at low temps can get you BAKED. There are vapes like the Milaana with open airflow and it will never give visual vapor like the evo or hopper but it extracts just as fast as the evo, maybe faster lol and still gets you where you need to be. I think the evo is gonna be at a disadvantage when put against the hopper if you look at vapor output only, because I think the hopper probably has a good amount of radiant heat if not a little conduction going on.. but if you look at how fast your material gets extracted, and how mediacated you get from each device I would put my money on the evo to be the winner.
Lol sorry for the long explanation of how I felt about that. I'm not trying to bash anyone's opinion or anything, I'm all for testing and comparing. Just thought I would let you guys know what I think about the subject of cloud chasing with vapes and how it works a little. I'm actually looking into a vap3 because of its conduction signature, I love convection and I don't mind low temp sessions but at the end of the day I love huge clouds and I feel like a unit with some conduction and radiant heat (like my supreme) is gonna give you the thickest vapor every time when compared to a pure convection device.
I will never get rid of my evo because I think it's efficiency and flavor with it's pure convection signature is going to be something I would miss too much. The clouds on the evo are amazing, but pure convection can only get so thick. If we added some radiant heat with say a glass elb, there probably wouldn't even be a competition but then again that's not the greatness of the EVO. The evo is amazing because of flavor + clouds + effect, all in one amazing package.
@biohacker enjoy your testing and let us know what you think, maybe don't only consider vapor density though because I think you will find yourself using the evo over the hopper even though the hopper may be the winner in vapor density, in any case please let us know how the tests go, maybe you can be the one to help push me out of the "I'm not getting a hopper because they are unreliable and I have desktops so I don't need it for water use" lol I know I'm not the only one. Maybe your thoughts on the two can make me want one, I wouldn't be surprised as VAS has me wanting everything else anyways lol.
Happy vaping FC, I'm about to have a celebratory bowl in the evo after a long day of moving into my new place. Too lazy for butane, sometimes laying back with the evo and a HT is just such a luxurious and comfy vaping experience. Not gonna pass that up this evening
Cheers
I remember those things from their old vxl cloud website!
Can't wait to put this up against my GH for some proper testing!
