Salutations 912GreenSkell,
M'well, i tried a V-Tower without bags (i had the v2.1 HerbalAire already). For me 3 ~ 4 bags sounds wastefull because in comparison my pipe's bowl seems minuscule today and i don't want/need more than 2 ~ 3 pipe bowls / 5 ~ 7 satisfying pipe tokes every 3 ~ 4 hours or so, at most... Beyond all that i just can't manage with the electric dryness factor anymore, so i consider myself lucky to still find some of what i want in my personalized pipe (since the genuine configuration doesn't work for me neither). In any case the VG butane-operated pipe has an edge which i do require and practically no vape offers it to me, not even the venerable Volcano and it's not the bill i intend to vape anyway!
...
What i'm saying is that no matter how much quality/value gets packed into some product, Arizer's Q-Extreme solution is no different for those persons like me who no longer got the lungs for it: e.g. remember it's
mainly convection, pre-heating is required. So i recall by the time i reached the magic threshold i had no sufficient inhalation capacity left and hence much of my cannabic load went wasted/lost ultimately. So much for the great, euh...
{ Fill empty space with anything electric-dry! }
In conclusion there are 2 main types of vaporisation method (read "vaping/transportation agent"). Number 1 is generally driven by electricity and air alone gets heated. Number 2 transforms butane gas into heat + H2O + CO2 through a clean burning reaction (never inhale in absence of a flame and/or even allow that flame's tip to touch anything).
Intuitively we all know it's easier to heat air that is dry, alternately i think dry air absorbs less energy when compared to moist air. In other words moist air can/will carry more energy than dry air once heat is raised to a same temperature, consequently i reasonably expect such cannabic carrier to perform faster and deeper.
Some ~28 months later i can pretend i've finally been successfull finding a tool that leaves me something to enjoy... Of course "bio" butane would feel preferable but i don't care much for comet dust when all electric machines are bound to render me so miserable.
Most certainly there are many individuals getting happy with their electric vaporizer, i could envy them but that can't change my fate so i personalized whatever worked and that was my 3rd VG pipe instead:
M'yeah, it was a revelation to me too. My 10 days vaporist initiation was memorable and i can only wish i had known decades sooner.
But there's also a crucial factor IMO: smoking may share more similarities with my butane-operated VG pipe than i ever realized until recently. A cigarette burns half of its vegetal material to vape the other half, beyond combustion temperature it's not just dry air serving as a carrier i mean...
Perhaps it's quite time for the vape lords and gurus to address this parameter too: cannabic release/transportation using elitist dry-air as the active agent only
or else??
I choose else.
PLEASE!
And it's not simply about self-moisturization anymore, i want/require real
Inlet Auto-Conditioning!! ... Must be day-dreaming again!...
That's so true, i can't but concur. Too bad though the price tag(s) rarely attach to something everyone can use,
inclusively.
Good day, have fun!!
