I need more than one screen bro thier expensive too! I think many vape manufactuers use the Apple model and buying screens is part of how they make profit. Look at the price of the herbo XL screens!!! I wanted a supply and in my basket it was like 40 euro lol yet i bet they cost 15 max from China. And the Verdamper is 3 euro just for 1x 30mm screen.
You are confused about this as i never showed photos but i did talk about it, The Roor glass screens in 29.2mm size fit into the XL bowl it is not perfect but it does work. You do get particulate but its glass over SS thats the trade. SS screens are dead or will be in the future, To clean them simply cant cost pennies, The torch and butane will cost much more than a €3 glass screen. Indeed how long will the torch last? And how much is butane shipping? If i had to estimate a cost over ten yrs i would say at least 60 euro and maybe up to 80. And all this because they wont simply do a very basic design. So to me it made it a natural upgrade to fix this and use my glass and bowl which works in all 29.2mm vapes.
What size is the verdamper heater then? I thought it was 29.2mm like the Herbo XL if it is, Then theres no need for me to buy any screens or a bowl. I have a system that here that would last a lifetime but it only mates with 29.2mm heaters like the XL. Theres no logo on this XL bowl either it is simply the OG XL bowl and the RooR 29.mm screen. All it takes is careful positoning for a few rips until the THC glues it in place and it works pretty damm good. So it would of been amazing for the Verdamper, As i dont think the 29.2mm screen will fit the same in the Verdamper bowl. Yes they all narrow to 18mm but the XL bowl was more suited than this i think.
Yo mate. Firstly, I didn't mean to patronize you or insult ypur intelligence, I just wasn't clear on where you were coming from.
I wish I did know for sure the exact Verdamper heating element size, if I wasn't so sick atm I would investigate that for you but I put my back out worst ever in my life 6 weeks ago moving cannabis plants around and have been forced out of bed in unbearable agony every single day since with hardly any sleep, and this has had a massive impact because even at the best of times I deal with the most extreme levels of respiratory pain and discomfort from allergies and infections, and major digestive issues, stomach upset and constipation and chronic fatigue.
I already have severe long term sleep deprivation.
This back injury has made it impossible to sleep, eat, digest food, be comfortable at any point and manage my allergies and keep infections under control.
So okay, if the Verdamper heating element will fit the XL Herbo bowl, then fair enough you have that option. I am not convinced at all though so check into thag or wait until our super knowledgable vape expert
@lazylathe will certainly be able to clarify, and hopefully offer his own feelings and advice on the pros and cons of using VD with XL bowl.
I do not like the XL bowl myself. Never have. I really loved the verdamper bowl. I just think it lends itself to better performance and even extraction with the Verdamper.
And much easier to handle, empty, reload etc.
Now, I would never suggest that one single XL Herbo Screen will last a lifetime. Now way. Like most vapes, you wamt multiple screens, cleaning and rotating.
But this is the point here- the Verdamper screen is a different fish altogether. It is the only vape screen I ever had like it. I never needed a spare, or a second.
I have not done any actual maths on butane costs, but was gping with my intuition and subconscious and I still will dispute you on this.
I mean, I used my vapcap daily for several years on just a can or two of Newport Butane.
Torching a verdamper screen at most once a day for 8 seconds. Man the lifetome cost is really so minimal, it really is pennies a day at most. If it cost me £3 a year to keep IMO the better VD screen and bowl clean, for the best all round and most enjoyable vaping experience, I would not grumble at all.
I just want you to have the best setup and experience possible mate.
Thanks for clarifying about the Roor glass screens. Im still not convinced though, but Im sure you are correct in that they won't fit in the VD bowl.
But if it was me (and of course it is not, so pinch of salt lol!), I would only want to use my exciting new Verdamper with the official bowl.
Maybe I would actually fork the €3 for the spare screen at the same time, knowing I would surely never actually need it or never need another one ever with that spare one for sure.
Sorry mate my head is blank and can't think clear right now so Im losing sight of any further logical or sensible advice.
Hope you are doing okay Rodders anyway and having a chilled weekend. Do keep us posted mate.
Edit- maybe you will use hot soapy water to clean the Roor glass screen, or ISO? Either way, even that is expense over time.
I really don't think you would need more than even half a can of gas a year to keep that VD screen clean.
