...had two black, two green and soon a red Iolite...
It must feel good knowing what you need exactly.
You should be glad BayLee420! The problem isn't a lack of afinity for a specific model, obviously you like your portable. Lucky you!!
Unfortunately there are persons as myself who will react promptly to cannabic dryness and although the iOlite is powered by butane i don't suppose its owners are expected to inhale burned butane exhaust, which implies unlike my modded VG pipe there's no "self-conditioning" effect because butane is excluded from the lungs path. Please correct me if i'm mistaking.
So, just as with a jumbo Solo or anything else electric, even the venerable Volcano or whatever, a guy like me will still need his electric-dry cannabic vapor to be moisturized but much like preservatives it's not exactly the same. I've evaluated post-vaporization moisturizing compared to self-conditioning, one adds water vapor to the cannabic stream while the other generates such a stream as the proper burning of butane performs a transformation where the gas turns into Energy + CO2 + H2O and possibly potential contaminants. It will sound redundant but i thought i'd repeat that again... So, what this implies is it's not the same to vape using my modded pipe where butane is transformed right ahead of the lungs path, compared to dry air that is easier to heat up and hence i gather hot dry air that was easier to heat up also carries less energy as a trade-off. As a result anything dry will be slow, require a water toy and yet never rival with the level of comfort i gain from vaporizing my cannabic bowl with a hot stream (CO2 + H2O): my modded pipe delays discomfort efficiently while water toys only tame down the abrasive element at best. Even with water vapor added something is missing, using the pipe i realize it must be about the carrier instead of the load. A hot stream of moist air heated to ~192 °C or so presumably improves thermalization time when compared to an equally hot jet of air, i'd think it's about energy density. But electric dryness usually comes with slowliness while the benefit of a denser energy stream as cannabic carrier may become evident only if dealing with a VaporGenie or similar pipe where butane is transformed by a burning reaction before it enters the lungs path. 2 very different scenarios.
Briefly put i'd need to install an iOlite on top of water glassware just the same as with my table configuration. Additionally, this wouldn't make the cannabic vapor as pleasant as the pipe does, E.G. being able to withstand it at all, etc. My HA + Arizer Solo hybrid contraption feels so dry i start couphing instantly, stream vaporization appears to improve that situation by providing some additional delay, enough to enjoy a toke satisfyingly. That's a world of difference.
By chance i read lately that a manufacturer will offer a portable vape with integrated water tank. In a couple years maybe i can hope there will be a decent selection of offers, as i'd like my toy to perform near-instant pre-heating, etc. In short, Induction Heat of course!
Meanwhile it is you mister BayLee420 who's lucky to find what's needed, though we could wish you it will gain reliability after a while, eventually. Self-moisturization for the iOlite might even become an option in the future, go figure!
