Old Reviews Custom built Vape for Dry herb

[FullDuplex]

So about a week ago i posted asking about a vape for 100-150 and i got a few replies but nothing really caught my eye and the ones that did were stupid over priced.

Some of you know that i already vape, and the thing is i like the mods that i use and the control that i have over them.. To me the ideal thing would be to locate something that i could use on the already powerful mods i own.

So i went digging, and i love a challenge and i also like to build my own shit so to speak. so i wanted a new mod for this project and the idea was to stay under 150 with this build. I found the mod that i wanted and i came back to Smok as i always do. Strong product and its built very, very well so why not keep buying stuff that worked for me. I got the Micro One 150 TC mod for 49.99 right under 50. This was a steal as most places had it for 75-100 so i had to jump on that deal.

Now that i had that sourced i needed something to use with dry herb, and the market is scarce on items like this for 510 connected mods. But i did locate something that i cant wait to try. Its called the sub-herb tank that is geared towards dry leaf for mods that have a 510 connector. Price was under 50 at like 40 and some change so i bought it too to give it a try. So here i sit with a new vape for right under 100$.

So here we are folks, a few hours later. Took me a min to get it right and figure out how much needed to be in there what the best temps were as well as making sure not to burn the ganja.

So with that said here is the run down...........

Vape Mod : Micro One 150 TC
Attachment : MigVapor Sub-Herb Tank
Watts : 25-27

Function : After getting it right it was pretty damn impressive and I can see why others have given it some good reviews. The bowl needs to be packed pretty good to get a good experience. Took me a few times of burning some to figure that out. So dont be afraid to load it. The ceramic bowl gets hot stupidly fast. The bottom of the bowl does anyway. From what i can tell it takes about 7-9 seconds to get a good hit and produce vapor. When it does the flavor is amazing and it will fill the lungs before you know it.

Over all decent product, the mod i was not worried about this was an excuse to buy a new one. Smok's gear is always solid as far as their mods go. The are as tough as a tank and they also always work, press the button they fire.

Couple things that could use some touch ups.

The plunger is in there with little to no adhesive so after the third run it came apart, touch of superglue corrected the issue and kept it attached to the screen.
Better airflow, its on the negative side as far as flow goes. I think better control over the airflow you would be able to control the draw temp over the actual bowl its self.

I have ran it on all 3 of my mods, 40w, 80w, 150w and all of them reported the same ohm @ .9 and they all responded the same at the same watt setting. So this would work on about any mod that you have. Just keep it out of the temp control mode and itll be fine

The world of vapes...i just love it. Praise the sticky steam stream... and thank you for sharing

Salutations FullDuplex,

...it takes about 7-9 seconds to get a good hit and produce vapor. When it does the flavor is amazing and it will fill the lungs before you know it.

This nearly describes my own observations experiencing with pulsed-mode consumption (i often refer to "micro-bursting"), where pre-heating only lasts 2 ~ 3 seconds at most, using a Hybrid Core structured as follows:

​

The grey areas represent SiC foam as that found in VaporGenie pipes. Also, on the cannabic bowl side, i've added brass screen to spread radiative heat more evenly.

A bit of conductive heat gets temporarily stored in the material but this is quickly depleted as soon as air starts moving, which causes interesting transitional dynamic properties to emerge: the SiC layers act like a Heat Insulator when idle though it becomes a Source of Convective/Radiative Heat itself thanks to negative pressure. Briefly put it's a thermal bottle allowing extreme temperature excursions depending on some airflow-operated passive barrier...

Took me a min to get it right and figure out how much needed to be in there what the best temps were as well as making sure not to burn the ganja.

Temperature only reflects what's going on, e.g. after the fact. What's actually being controlled in such vaporization mode is how much energy your cannabic load has absorbed. Too much results in over-heat, too little in useless baking. So, ideally one shall want his cannabic substrate to cool off as soon as the expected amount of vapor has been released, to promote "conservation" by limiting baking, etc...

The ceramic bowl gets hot stupidly fast.

Part of the energy used to raise temperature in that massive ceramic body remains unavailable and hence that is power which is lost before it can even perform real vaporization work. In portable pulsed-mode that may no longer prove desirable, but i can somewhat understand the motivation to reduce contact with metal surfaces. Yet i'm not obcessed about it like a purist...

Just keep it out of the temp control mode

As far as i'm concerned temperature in a time-compressed scenario becomes a factor of lesser importance; my suggestion would be to define power injection more precisely instead, with transition boundaries which are less blurred to better separate phases so it's easier to avoid errors such as baking, then combustion eventually...

Good day, have fun!!

Hey FD, how's that vape working out for you? I saw some reviews on this. Are you getting vapor without burning your weed in this? I hear its a bit tricky to get right. I'd like to try one just for giggles, a MIG like yours. Bet with the technique down it would kickass connected to a bong!
