Seriously
@drgreen - Do DV for a while with all the tricks and you have a stick that you put in a box and when you pull it out of the box and hit it, it can make clouds. Simple as that. Dozens of us can do it and snicker after the fact. Problem is, people don't have patience with CapCaps.
Okay, I gave up the bong almost a year go. Hard hitter on medical. Not nearly the dosage but more than enough to be challenge to maintain the ritual daily. On finding vaping I needed to know it medicated. It did! Long story, but I use one strain. Simple; grind-regrind-stuff in VC-bake once or twice in the IH-Rinse repeat to your heart's content. Just don't fucking burn yourself with the VC, and definitely don't burn your partner. Only very rare exceptions apply.
I jones'd for a better vape hard! Same fucking search "Where is the ultimate doobie vape?" Ain't there! Doesn't exist due to physics or finances. Yet everyone claims to have one.
I use the Launch Box above. Great taster and sesh-member but my medications comes from a 15 second break with a VC. Make it 25 seconds and I'll have two rips that will leave me blurry for a moment. I don't get high anymore and I haven't tasted vape outside of some terps and near-combustion for almost all the time I've been vaping... that almost a year. Same flower means stuffed receptors. No taste at all! I get a morning buzz for about 15-20 minutes. Welcome to a new day.
I do several things from grind to customizing the VC to make this a bud ripper. First trick is to maximize the load and since the bowl is fixed, rind the flower to very fine... no, finer! I can get a very decent load into the VC. The VC has to breath - simple tricks that only need be learned; even with a very fine grind. You can even tune the coolness of the draw! Try that with you splint as it sluffs off fiery bits into you mouth. Many have called for a bigger bowl! I just shrunk the herb volume.
As to a means for firings, there are little electrical boxes for heating. Wouldn't use anything else. I also learned to tune them. You want a hard rip, use heater #2 over there; it'll rip you a new one. #3 will will exploit terps - #1 is the DD that isn't quite so aggressive but will give you a good dip&sip session to get to the bottom of that cap. Now #4 is like a lighter. You just hold it up to the vapcap and draw. Don't worry, you won't outpace it. But let me turn that down a hair for you... Induction heating is very powerful and has no trouble heating a VC. Technique, again, is everything. I'd never sell you a Shelby Cobra unless I knew you knew how to drive[sic]. Well, same with the VC - It's not that you learned to drive it, as much as you just get in the seat and make it yours.
I agree that you might have sucked on a log on that mystery hit or it could have been a custom stem on a VC. Logs are great but I wonder if they can keep up. They are also fairly limited in load size but that is not a hard rule. I have not experienced logs but others will be willing to testify.
I am one of the converts from the ritual of the Magic Flight Launch Box, which I still enjoy heavily modified, and the utilitarian VapCap with a straight 4-1/4" carbless wooden stem, '18 SS tip and cap w/ mods. Reliable every day medication and I don't mind in the least. I don't need any other vape anymore. YYMV of course. I've perfected this method for very specific needs. And although I could have a Volcano - no thanks.
