what would be a more efficient and easier way for me to vape? small amount + liquipad, small amounts NO liquipad, or a reducing chamber + dosing capsules
I really dont want to mess with refilling the capsules as sometimes in one session i will fill the chamber 4-5 times with a very miniscule amount and get one bag and do it 3-4 more times
2. Should i buy the regular size EZ fill bag refills or the XL? Some friends told me bigger bags = more resin inside the bag collecting and thus less in your lungs. Others say getting the XL bag means you get that extra bit of vapor esp for me since i am not filling a second bag each chamber since i use so little
I want to make an order on S&B website for 6 more EZ fill bags, few more liquipads since i only have one, and possibly the reducing chamber + dosing capsules + magazine.
After reading thru the last 16 pages of threads I see that using the reducing chamber without the dosing capsules is not an option i guess my true question is what will produce better (stronger and thicker) vapor my current mini amounts + liquipad or the dosing capsules
Would like to place this order tomorrow as my bag is old and needs replacing
I'm also quite efficiency focused. And when I got started, I used to set the unit to Max or close to it just so I'd extract everything I could. Eventually started to wind things back and follow the advice of a few on here, I'm now using 377F always now and am confident that what does (or does not) remain in the ABV, I probably don't need or want!
I combine this with starting with a pinch,
and adding a tiny pinch for each bag. So there's no "bags getting weaker" as you progress. Often I'll crush the ABV remains for the last bag, nice, but I'm not sure how much of that is vapor or just dust!
I tried pad, and custom screen I made, cotton wool, and open chamber. I found open to be the easiest, with close to same results as anchoring the load.
I also recently got reduced chamber insert and caps, but have ran out of herbs before I got to test fully for Volcano!! I can say....,
The insert alone should do you fine if you're ok with your hands and small tools.
Also, I think the DCapsules will allow use for a movie in the dark, or stargazing, music session etc
Reduced chamber w/o capsules I found the herbs looked greener. Probably all that steel robs a chunk of heat at the start. Need to run more tests lol
Found a great use for old used cano bags...bag milk! Using whole fat milk I take the old bags and cut them open and into 4 pieces , simmer in 1/2 gallon of whole fat milk for about 15 minutes. The resulting bag milk taste horrible so mix in a milk shake or protein shake. Warning this can be very strong - depending on the age of the bags and material that was vaped. I normally use 4-6 oz in a shake...8 oz if I'm feeling froggy!
Turkey roasting bags work great with the easy valve setup. So much easier to change and way less noise.
Oh yeah, that could be strong alright!!! Must try that next.
I wonder if some of the bad taste is from handling greases on the bag outer? As I ran into a similar problem lately while vaping strips of bag (Calamari de Volcano!) inside my EV chamber!
Either it was hand grease/dirt I tasted, or I was pushing the limits of the polyester at 202'C
To me, in the Volcano, the Reduced Chamber seems intended, and works best, with a dosing capsule.
In my case, I also wanted to see if the chamber alone would result in my methods using less material overall, but I ran out while trying hehe!
The extra mass of metal appeared to prevent some heat from reaching the load, but I'm looking forward to messing about some more with it soon.
You really can do micro wonders with the standard large bowl though! And the reduced one seems a little fiddly to fill/add to compared to the fullsize chamber.
The main differences are probably closely related to airspeed/venturi in the two different chambers.
