How far should I fill a swagger showercap?
Some days life seems to be a cruel joke. While taking my dying dog to the vet to be put to sleep, he knocked over my EVO. When I got back, obviously an emotional wreck, and went to medicate, the EVO rattled, and I can see what appears to be a crack in the bamboo. But it also seems to be working properly.
Submitted a ticket, but how much in one damn day, huh?
....yes barely...out of all my ht's it requires the least amount of water...How far should I fill a swagger showercap?
Our thoughts go out to you. Based on what I can see of your personality on this forum, your dog was very lucky to have an owner like you and as an owner of three dogs, I personally know how tough this is. I just always remind myself that I gave the 4 legged homies lots of love and that they had a really good life. Keep your spirits up and celebrate the fact you gave your dog an awesome experience on this planet while he/she was here. You got my support.
It's so true. The evo might not get abv as dark as my OG ticker but it seems like there's no pack too small for the evo!
Wanna know what I did when I wanted to blow someone's mind? I shake out my keyboard, pack the few little scrapings I get into a ELB and proceed to see just how efficient it really is!
Evo also gets any glass piece milkier than I have been able to get any other vape. It looks like I'm smoking!
Mine does this too, but only when it's been sitting by my window and it's cold. I spoke with SM about it and he assured me that the cold is what it is. I think it can tell if it's too cold so it won't heat up when the glass is freezing and crack it! Imo that's a good feature!! I'm definitely loving my Evo. It almost seems like mine has gotten hotter since I first got it too. At first I couldn't get dark brown abv, but now I can take it to a really dark brown, and I even had a friend that got too stoned and was holding it instead of hitting it and he kept accidentally hitting the temp dial up to high, and between sitting on it and it being on high, when he took his next hit it actually combusted a tiny bit!! It surprised me bcuz I already tried it on high b4 that and it didn't come close to combusting! It sucked bcuz I had to clean everything bcuz it stunk up my HT! But I'm actually happy that it gets that hot so I know I shouldn't have any problems with concentrates. I definitely love this vape!! It's probably my favorite, and I own the Vapexhale Cloud Plus, the volcano, the Pax, and almost all of W9 Tech's/Delta 9's whole line up! But those are in a different class of oil vapes imo, and I love my Persei/Hercules SR71 just as much! But imo, this is definitely worth the money! It kicks my ass every time I use it!! Cheers everyone!!Me and my new evo got off to a bit of a rocky start today. Fed Ex left it at my door (I was home so was no problem) and when I took it out of the box it felt about 10 degrees (air temp). But, after reading on this thread that someone leaves theirs in the shed 24-7 I figured I'd plug it in and give it a whirl.
When I turned it on the light turned red for a few seconds then started flashing every few seconds. I made sure the plug was seated properly, plugged it into a new outlet, tried a different adapter all to no effect. When I was about to box it back and create a ticket, I figured I'd try again and voila! It's been working for a few hours now. Unless you experts think it needs to be looked at, I'm gonna chalk it up to the cold.
Anyway, i'm experimenting with it now. Definitely the best vape I've owned.
My evo does flicker when it's reaching the target temp, but that's not what was happening the first time I turned it on. It was just a red light blinking every couple of seconds and no heat. No harm, it's worked great ever since.Don't let the flickering light scare you. Just means it can't decide if it's really at temp or not. Those us that have owned OG Tickers know this well
...or your old Cloud+ is running hot. Turned out my OG ticker always has been - over 600F at full.I just did a bit of an experiment. I turned on my Cloud+ and Evo at the same time. I set both dials to max and let them heat up for 30 minutes. The Evo seemed pretty heatsoaked but the Cloud+ still had a way to go. I packed an ELB about 1/4 full and hit the Evo twice, with the vapor production stopping about half way through the second hit. I hit it a couple more times with varying draw speeds to make sure the vapor production was done. Then I put the ELB immediately into the Cloud+ and I was about to get 1 and 1/2 more hits of medium vapor.
I also had a mini ELB laying around that I had loaded with wax to try in the Evo at max. When I tried it, it produced very light vapor and left most of the wax in the screens. I tried the still-loaded ELB in the Cloud+ and it made all of the wax disappear in one hit.
The mini ELB method wasn't perfect with my cloud+ but it worked pretty well for the most part. Definitely not working with my Evo.
I'm able to produce some pretty dark ABV with my Evo but after this test i'm really thinking this thing is running cooler than it was intended to, but i'm still not entirely sure.
I hope this is the case. I don't want to be without it even if the turn around is quick....or your old Cloud+ is running hot. Turned out my OG ticker always has been - over 600F at full.

touche, and looks like a clean mod. however I just don't see the need... it just doesn't get that hot IMO. I apologize if I'm coming off as some sort of iron skinned hardass, I've just never had an issue handling the hot EVO. I just don't grab it where it's hot. you'd have to really try to burn yourself, accidentally touching it can't hurt you. I dunno, maybe the Vectra units are different? I actually wear the wristbands.
for me, adding extra handles just creates things for the EVO to get snagged on and cause a potentially sad situation
the physics behind the air path has been improved and is our strongest hypothesis as to why this unit medicates more strongly despite final ABV color. I'd be interested in hearing what others have experienced and what their hypothesis might be. As a manufacturer, it makes it more difficult to talk about these concepts because I wouldn't want people to confuse my opinion for facts. But at the end of the day, I am a vapor fanatic and these are potential concepts that if further explored, could be the beginning steps of seeing big leaps in vapor performance. Let the discourse begin.
I don't do it for the heat it's all about the ergonomics of having a handle for me. Nerve damage blows and gets expensive especially with the side effects of this particular medicine I choose..
As an added plus I get:
-easier separation from HT pairings
-incredible safety in the event of accidental spills
-and if I'm not trying to be Mr. Tough Guy.... with this on, I COMPLETELY FORGET it's hot at all
Dark ABV is nice to see, but I have to agree with you. ABV color isn't entirely important. It's the chlorophyll that's being browned, as most of the cannabinoids are in the trichome glands and some in the plant matter. I like dark ABV for the CBD's and whatever CBN's I can get.I like the metaphor of "functional strength." a cooler EVO may actually outperform a hotter OG due to the fact that it transfers heat to the contents of the ELB more efficiently and more thoroughly.
I have recently had the notion rolling around in my head that in fact ABV color may not have as direct a correlation to "functional extraction" as I have been lead to believe. this idea came to me while I was actually using my Solo. I noticed that when I leave the stem in for the entire session, the ABV at the end of the session gets darker then when I pulled the stem out between hits. however I wouldn't say I got more medicated with the darker ABV, just that it was a subtly different effect. I think I'm actually getting "higher" pulling the stem out between hits. I theorize that the stem I left in between hits got hot enough through conduction to cause too much decarboxylation, converting more THC to CBN than I would like.
it could be that the older Clouds with less turbulence heat the contents of the ELB less efficiently and less evenly, causing a darker but less evenly colored ABV due to the presence of hotter and colder areas within the ELB. as opposed to the EVO which manages to get the entire contents up to the targeted temps, all at once. perhaps less THC is getting converted to CBN because it has already left the biomass and entered your bloodstream, as opposed to the older units. this might account for the perceived greater medicinal effect. more THC hitting the brain and less CBN?
I have no idea what I am talking about
good points. enjoy
