The magma has really made an impact in my coughing/throat irritation. I still don't know if I will shell out for the obsidian, seems even more overpriced than the magma; $60 for something I know costs around $20 or less to manufacture(magma not obsidian). But they overspend on packaging and milk the niche market of an accessory to an expensive vape. Whatever, I have really been pleased with the magma as the vapor was just too harsh for me without.
I plan to make my own smaller bags to use while gaming. fill a lil baby bag for like 10 seconds in between rounds etc. easily could do this with stock bags but they are a little harder to manage space wise and noisy.
As time has gone on I have found myself settling on the hybrid cano, the sticky brick line up, and the arizer solo. They each pass the "reach test" and never let me down.
I tried the hybrid through a bong before ordering the magma. I was skeptical about the magma because it just does not make sense to me on paper. Upon using it I grasp what people are saying. There is humidity and the vapor is not harsh! It feels almost pleasant depending on the strain. It feels like a sauna in a way. Through my bong with hot water it still felt a bit stingy and dry. No sting and really moist vapor using the magma! Much less irritation or coughing with the magma.
I stick the s&b brush handle in the bag to let it evaporate in between uses and overnight. I have not seen a drop of water in my bag. I have seen the seals to the bag stretch and vapor come out before and after the mouth piece is on. This is my only complaint. People say you can poke the bag back through to make the seal seal again. This is true, but after it is back on the magma it stretches again meaning the vapor leaks out again. You can seal it while empty or I guess try to seal it while full forcing more vapor out than you would lose if it was sealed.
Hopefully this makes sense, I am stoned currently. Very pleased with the cano, sticky brick, solo line up. GF is using the cano, plenty, e-nano, and solo. E-nano does not do it for me aside from flavor due to my tolerance. Plenty lives in the living room and I use it when she already has it fired up but I have not loaded it myself in weeks. I grab my sticky brick in the living room or the solo. Still love the plenty. Cano is in "my" room and gets use everyday after work.
I wish S&B would address the metal shavings in the plenty chamber and the broken/melted chambers users are experiencing on the hybrid. I have had no issues with my hybrids chamber at all. It would make me feel better about the company as a whole if they did more to help their customers; ESPECIALLY when the issues are so widespread that everyone on reddit knows what someone is referencing without owning the device.
People buy more from companies that listen to the buyers.
Happy new year and sorry if none of this makes sense. Too stoned to be coherent.
