I gifted my Classic to a friend with a really low tolerance.
She tells me she turns it on at night when she can’t sleep.
The funny part is she didn’t even want any balloons, she just runs it with no balloon for a minute or so & says it works a treat.
That's brilliant!
I've tried it with ABV to diffuse into the room and I'd like to try and blast a load of reclaim sometime like that, or in a confined space like a tent or vehicle (parked of course).
I've noticed that the nozzle gets a nice, even accumulation of reclaim when I clean it. I doubt that it would be a good idea to scrape that off due to potentially getting metal fragments with the reclaim, but I'd consider trying an alcohol extraction on it sometime. Between that and the screens there might be some goodies there.
What are you using to scrape the whips out?
When metal (or PEEK and plastic) items are heated or warmed to a point, the reclaim liquefies and you can wipe it off with something like cotton or perhaps degummed hemp fiber if you prefer.
As these are just plant fibers which we believe to be virtually unaffected by vaping temperatures, you can vaporize the reclaim directly from the cotton at the upper range of herb vape temperatures.
I prefer the Volcano for this at full temperature! And run the bags through water.
Don't know if you got an answer about whips, but I straightened a wire coat hanger and put a slim bend at one end. And I pull pieces of cotton pad through while warming parts of the whip over Volcano hot air stream.
TBH I found my results sometimes negligible or poor tasting, but that's an SSV whip, different vape and different whip material too I believe. And I didn't allow much build up each time.
Still a good way to clean a whip as I found iso wipes or washing up liquid can cause stinks and tastes to remain for too long.
I don’t have a Hybrid yet either but I believe you are correct sir! And a quick look on eBay.co.uk gave me a smorgasbord of lengths: .5m,1m,1.8m,3m & 5m!.......
...........I wonder if some UK/EU site will have a discount for Black Friday although it’s not such a big deal like the states, where everyone seems to have a terrific sale going on. Easy to find for £525-530 (US$670-675) right now so a holiday sale could make a Holiday Hybrid irresistible!
If it's that figure of 8 connector then I think it's called "IEC C7"
Yeah there's lots of different handy configurations on there. Even saw a white lead, it could be your Northern Lights lead!
I think the outright best prices I've seen in these areas were from Namaste, but I think they've got pulled on it by some makers.
S&B always do about 20% off for BF I think, and I don't think they'll be as tight as some makers were when Black friday fell soon after they had a vape out. (ie no discount on new release vapes)
I might see what this new portable is they have coming, but it looks like a Hybrid could cover almost every use for someone at home, if they are the type that tends to stick to three or less devices!

I was thinking a burst of air would help with the prime, then turn off and enjoy. I'm sure it will be subpar to the hybrid experience, but a good stop gap for now!
In my early experiments with a whip on a Digit Volcano, I found I could not draw at all really, and that the pump was probably blocking the air path.
There's a slight possibility that the pump might sometimes stop in a spot which would allow flow but maybe not.
Recently I opened my Digit and plumbed the heater air pipe straight to the air filter. It works great but I did find it a little restricted the way I was using it with a capsule and tiny pad inside.
I assume the Hybrid draw is less restricted, even the air filter looks bigger.
@Poostuff is dead right that it requires a little priming with all the convection but it's doable and tastes nice! The pulls keep getting denser as the load is primed.
Or you could also use a whip with fan without adjusting your plumbing!
Whip with fan is something I still have to try now that I'm back to standard plumbing.
Hope some of this gives you an idea what to expect or helps you.

So I've been waiting for S&B to announce the Hybrid Medic (for tax purposes)
Anyone else waiting for this, it looks like it has now been released as the "Volcano Medic 2" with a whip kit also and a reducer kit and a capsule.
I'm unsure of the Maximum temperature it can reach nor do I know that of the Hybrid.
