I'm sure a percentage of my difficulty in cleaning the boro's is due to my inexperience with concentrates, making a bigger mess than I should be.
Following up on this some more, I ended up dabbing with the EVO twice last weekend again. It was great

and I decided to get a few pictures of the boro VapeXnail in use to share, before and after cleaning. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, here's two to add to the owner use knowledge base here

.
The first comes from after dabbing a clean boro VapeXnail twice. Each dab was finished with a 10-15 min heat soak at near max temp in the EVO, plus a cotton swab wiping. It's pretty clean imo for not being clean

and a good sign of very reasonable EVO dab sizes

And here's the same boro VapeXnail after using an ultrasonic cleaner with a mixture of hot water & PBW. Clean clean
Ready to go for this weekend
As I use larger dabs, the staining and mess gets worse. My HTFSE sauce is particularly susceptible to this (compared to my live resin and shatter use). Like its lower viscosity makes it easier to get a bit of liquid into the bamboo.
I think the EVO vapes concentrates beautifully when one gets a good method going, but it has a significant dab size limit in the rice grain range and if you go over concentrates get into the bamboo glass. That's a legitimate problem for many people but not everyone. The EVO can't do large dabs, it overflows, becomes a pita to clean and can affect flavors. Some users get so far as to plug the the EVO bamboo from dabbing concentrates that's far too many big dabs going into the EVO.
Still, with that caveat and taking care to keep dabs small, I find the EVO excellent for vaping concentrates. This comes from nearing three years of ownership, and only having to clean the bamboo twice, both times from a little too large of a dab. I can live with that frequency (and probably will do even better in the future as I get more experience under my belt) because bamboo cleaning isn't crazy difficult either, it's just a hot 99% ISO or PBW soak and time (with some shaking and swabbing thrown in). Many here have helped to develop a reasonably simple method to clean the bamboo, which helps a lot

. Thx and pay it forward.
TGIF & cheers to all EVO owners

. Always great to see owner vids posted

I'm a big enthusiast of a clean clean rig and setup when vaping. It's worth it when cleaning is as easy it can be with a good setup and the EVO. It makes a big difference in flavors, my friends who vape don't keep their vapes as clean... and we all share the same cannabis batches so it's a direct comparison when I visit, vaping off their gear and cannabis.
While I like variety and am enjoying concentrates in the EVO more lately (since a lull from late spring), I still big time prefer flower overall

. Very different highs to me. I'm currently vaping Super Lemon Haze (SLH) flower in the EVO at low temp, after a break and it's great. Potent

. I like a coarse grind to let the EVO shine with flower and it still vapes evenly (staying below a ~60% full ELB, iirc).
I just put the low temp vaped SLH aside and refilled the ELB with Strawberry Cough

. Good times ahead and the SC batch is full of premium cola nugs I'm slowly going through... dense and heavy. Here's a zoomable picture of the SC batch again, frosty & enjoy.
I thought I'd share another observation from vaping cannabis, in all its greatness and variety

. If your vaping comes from going with the same volume of cannabis time and again, that actually is a very poor estimate of the amount of cannabis one is vaping and your dose is varying wildly

. Today, I weighed out both the SLH and SC batches here to the same amount today and the volume difference in the ELB was huge, it was half/twice the volume between the two. For those interested in detailing/observing their cannabis intake, get a scale and weigh out your flower amounts... digital scales are cheap and they will provide much more consistent cannabis intake estimate

. It's better and better in all ways

(if ur into those things).
HAF so sorry for any grammar/spelling issues

. What's going on out there in EVO land? Cheers
