EasyE, I'm going to tell you what FC's personal expert has to say.... (at least in my opinion)
Vitolo said:
lazy912-
Soak tube in hot (not boiling) water for 5 minutes before using (then rinse)
Let unit charge fully before using.
while it is charging the 1st time.. leave the top off- this will give it time to air out.
Dont use the unit until after unit has been charged.
NEVER
Never turn on heat with unit open.(top off)
Never try to heat unit to max to "burn off" odors.. Odors are not "baked off".. but rather "baked on"!!
Do not heat unit with herb already in chamber.
Do not reheat a load. If unit is off.. empty load to reheat the NO2
After this you will not have to worry about odors.
Use included brush after each load to clear dust from chamber... and the top screen, and as with any vaporizer, keep the oils clean where the tube meets the unit so oils dont gather, run down, and slow down the works.
Trouble?.... Let me know!
Pretty much sums up everything about the no2. Personally, I love my no2. I like it better than the mflb and I personally used it more than I use my DBV. I bought mine from puffitup and got the car charger and an extra grinder for free. If you look through puffitup's blog, you can find a discount code, in the end I ended up paying $140ish. It was tax free with free shipping. Randy you rock.
Back to no2, I'm no expert or anything, but I'll explain how I use mine. Maybe it will help you make your decision or maybe it will help you understand how to use the unit. If I'm leading EasyE in the wrong directions, please chime in FC members~
I did lift my screen up a little like how they show you in this
link. Normally I would power up my unit and let it start heating up. Then start grinding up my herbs. By the time my herbs are grinded up the no2 should be ready. I dump in my herb and lightly pack it in the no2. I wouldn't even say it's packing, more like putting it there lightly. The temps that I like are 360/373. I start at 360 and take a few puffs then after about 5 or 6 puffs, I pump it to 373. A few more puffs and then I dump it into an abv container, to save for future cooking. (around 12-15 puffs in all)
How I repack a bowl... I just keep the unit on and heated then dump out the old stuff, blow in there quickly and make sure there's no left overs. Then put the new bowl in. Vitolo says to let the unit cool before repacking a bowl. He obviously follows instructions very well. But how I use mine, no harm no foul right?
Anyways, I hope I helped in any way, if not EasyE then anyone else who lurks these forums like I did. And it takes me about 2 bowls to be space bound. Enjoy~
