I'm in a full swing EVO Friday night here
. Hope you are too
. I was looking forward to it. I finished grinding up the last bit of a nug of Strawberry Cough. It ended up being a little less than 1/4 ELB and that was not enough
, so I added some fresh grind Acapulco Gold as a mix to the ELB and ended up at about 80% capacity.
The first low temp 320F dry Helio mouthpiece draw was at the edge of cough mode, the terps and vapor being so strong. There were visible clouds too (even at that low a temp). The second draw was shorter than typical and I still had a bit of coughing. With bigger clouds, lol. Gotta love quality flower
, which is which is an important part of what are my two top favorite strains. I'm in the process of switching away from Strawberry Cough for a little while to focus on Acapulco Gold more exclusively because I have more of it and like to change things up (variety is good). I find Strawberry Cough and Acapulco gold have very similar effects, but still... with some significant differences.
I took an extended break after those two first draws and recently finished another two low temp draws
. Really strong effects right now
. It took me a while to finish this post, lol. With more EVO use to come as we roll into the evening
. Gotta finish that ELB off.
@ataxian, I agree that the graphite precision honeycomb hydratube is a beautiful thing
. I'm still keeping mine very clean; I picked up some 99% ISO recently to help that along and am still using distilled water.
That's great news
@LitPot . I hope the wait isn't too long or cumbersome. I went the on same purchase journey in January and posted/received some great info in those earlier posts. It includes some VapeXhale Youtube glass information and guide videos, including tips and its use, etc. The EVO community extends to a great variety and number of products as well as some great third party products and support. Enjoy the EVO ecosystem and check it out as you settle in.
@His_Highness, I agree that in my experience an EVO will basically always stay green with even the most aggressive draws when warmed up. A number of people have put my EVO to the test in a number of ways
. And there are older posts in this thread that demonstrate that the EVO heater is both quite powerful and very response. I will note that my EVO heat-up from cold does show a false green about half way in timewise (~1.5 minutes instead of ~3 minutes). Until I realized that I thought a few times that the heater wasn't keeping up. This quirk has been noted before a bit but not by many so YMMV.
@justcametomind, adjust your technique and temps to get the EVO to where you can extract a bowl in one draw; a number of people have reported that the EVO can extract an entire bowl in one draw
. The heater is very strong and responsive; it's an extraction 'machine'. I can't keep up with the vapor the EVO produces at even lower temps, haha. Full extraction and power is not exclusive to the Flowerpot; in addition to the EVO there are a few other impressive evape options that are reportedly reliably capable of similar performance as well. And all will require some 'technique' to effectively extract an entire bowl in one draw. This type of performance typically brings the flower close to combustion. I don't experience those same other issues as you but everyone has different preferences and often uses vapes differently
. Sell the EVO and move the Flowerpot if it suits you better; life's too short to not spend a few $$ to optimize cannabis use
.
Enjoy the Friday night everyone!
