That sure is one beautiful combo, love that Caddy too
Thanks Cookie, yeah, it's starting to become a really nice collection if I may say so myself. I wish there weren't so many nice species of wood though, they just keep me craving for more
I do only get a few wispy hits if I try the WW-ABV in another vape, but I think that's because there are only high-temp goodies left in it, most of the THC seems already gone at that point. But I do need those other goodies too, & the fact remains that I simply get significantly fewer hits from the same material & quantity with most Wychwood bowls compared to my other two logs.
I had a breakthrough last night though. After messing around with a Solo stem & the WW I realized it's mostly the bowl design I have problems with.
I'll explain this to the readers for a minute here:
Most logs use bowls or stems that have the heater port inserted to them or are inserted in the heater port themselves, but with most WW bowls/stems you just put them together but they don't really slide in to each other. This means that the heat source is further away from the herbs when vaporizing, thus leading to lower vape temps. The center tube of the WW's heater core is made out of a thicker tubing, so it won't slide in to any of the stems of my other logs as well, with the exception of the more flexible silicon UD stems. But since one of the goals on my own personal vapor journey is to find ways around the silicon (I don't like the taste to much, although it helps if the stem is seasoned properly) so I won't be using those.
Here are two photo's to demonstrate what I mean if my description wasn't clear enough:
As you can see the Wychwood's heater port only goes up to the edge of the stem (I'm using the GonG WW bowl as an example here), where the HI will go down all the way to the screen when wanted.
Anyways, long story short: after trying out the Solo stem with the WW I went looking through all my glass bits to see if I could come up with a better solution (the Solo stem didn't work to well with my waterpipe's reducer adapter) when I suddenly realized Cookie had send me a whole bucket of accessories I hadn't really looked in to & right there I found this:
Looks like the solution to my problem came with the Wychwood all along
It took me a while to figure it out, but as it turns out my problem wasn't really with how the WW performs but more with the design of most of the stems that come with it. I get a nice dark ABV with the stem above at 11,8V, just like I want it to.
I wish the GonG stem also went around the heater port though, it may be just me, but I feel it's necessary for thorough extraction. Are you still working on other stems perhaps, Cookie? If possible I think it would be a big improvement if you could come up with a GonG stem that goes around the heater port made out of a single piece of glass to eliminate the use of silicon completely.
When I was going through the accessories yesterday I realized I hadn't even mentioned most of them yet, so here's a closer look at all the goodies that came with my WW:
There's two packages of different size screens, an aroma cup, a little key-chain stash container, a pipe cleaning tool with a poke/stir attachment & a spoon, a dowel for easy screen placement, wax beads for wood maintenance, a muslin bag, & in the little roll on the blue lid of the container everything came in are some pipe cleaners & two wooden stir tools. Then the 3 stems (I already had the slide holders, those weren't included).
Plus (I almost forgot to photograph it) a 14,4mm GonG attachment that can be used for direct draw with the GonG stem as well as the one on the right in that^^ photo.
Correct me if I forgot anything please, I have so many vaporizer accessories that I can't always tell which ones belong with which vape anymore & I might have misplaced one or two items.
