Has anyone tried using hash in the Venty using the sandwich (or any other) method and would like to share their experience?
I don't own a venty (yet), but regularly use my OG mighty for hash. YMMV, but this is what's worked for me - and what hasn't:
- I don't do the sandwich method; I like being able to really
taste pure hash.
- bubble hash is no problem; I put it on top of a concentrate pad. I recently tried using a thinner (firefly) pad, which worked really well.
- hard hash is more work. I cut it up into little bits, then put it
under a concentrate pad. the other day I put in .1g, started at 200C, got ~10 hits of visible vapor if not huge rips, then upped the temp to 210, got another 15 hits. by the end I had to draw really hard, but the advantage of really finishing the load is easier clean-up: there was no gooey gunk stuck to the bowl/screen, just black crumbly stuff.
- someone posted a while back that capsules provide added convection so I tried vaping hard hash in a capsule on top of a small concentrate pad (the pad inside the capsule). it was a total fail: I barely got wisps. my guess is that the capsule functioned as a heat sink, soaked up heat that would've otherwise cooked the hash.
- I understand that venty owners don't want to risk mucking up their bowl, but given that it's like a mighty with a much easier draw, I suspect it'll perform at least as well as the mighty, probably better.
