Old Reviews « To each his own » -vs- « Aiming for universality »

[Egzoset]

Salutations everybody,

My goal with this post is to attempt a global explanation as to how i perceive the present situation in terms of vaporism. Lets start with user types, we often read there are as many "perfect" matches as there are individuals... Of course the market only offers a limited number of cannabic vaporizers and those typically divide as groups sharing similar fundamentally-flawed characteristics (if/when considering universality should be required as a desirable feature), yet those seem OKay for a class of users who's radars are clueless about other persons falling into the exception category(ies).

Represented in purple this is where i imagine electric-dry machines belong (e.g. Volacano, Arizer, HerbalAire, etc.), take note i didn't even care to include Propylene Glycol on which pratically all e-Cigs depend. Pehaps it's possible a parallel can be established between that peculiar release/transport agent and hot gasses in cigarettes/joints though; it turns out i'm now practically convinced there's an alternative i've tagged "Inlet Auto-Conditioning" which combines the different advantages without their specific inconvenients... So, instead of hot gasses as in combustion or even clean butane burning i favour an Inlet Auto-Conditioning implementation exploiting the superior capability/versatility of Induction Heat, without a need for butane though it should remain optional in a Bi-Energy or Multi-Energy scenario (IH and/or "Dynamo" modes in Electro-Magnetism might even co-exist simultaneously, i figure).

In my opinion IH technology can fill the gap between extremes of the power spectrum while attempting to adopt a relatively user-inclusive solution:

For example, the reduction/absence of a pre-heating phase may translate as somewhat less lungs effort and hence contribute to render a tool even more accessible to those with lesser skills. There's a link to be made here, between slow electrical devices and the sort of speed we can contemplate using Induction Heat, versus The-Power-of-Fire as THE reference, etc.

Relatively to Water-Toy/FogBong Moisturization which proved beneficial to me in the past (managing with an HA v2.1 to be exact), a simple 3rd-party IH Cooker plate + Thermostatic IH Fry Pan will suffice to the task as that's compatible with water no sweat i think:

...i mean, there's no concern from using any wires, to begin with!

So...

IMO Clean Butane Burning paved the road to Inlet Self-Moisturization/Auto-Conditioning (based on a hot stream of H2O + CO2 initially); it's an asset i'd be reluctant to loose although i wouldn't want to impose it and consequently exclude purist expectations neither, because a concept must seek universality in vaporism to please me genuinely. At least that's how i came to define my "Lava" fantasies where "Plan-A" (in green) can be optionaly complemented with bonus integration of "Plan-B" (in blue).

In conclusion, universality would reside within an application zone requiring minimal skills while offering plenty of power to support even various premium items... That zone is where i'd belong ideally, it's the overlapping area based on Water Vapor (H2O) meant to "potentialize" ordinary electric-dry air. Too bad i must regret having to invent the whole thing alone, all by myself, after numerous experiments before which i didn't need to worry about allergy-like symptoms i associate with over-eposure. My advice: just don't wait 4+ years to look totally elsewhere when in doubt!...

Good day, have fun!!

Hi again,

This should stimulate curiosity somewhat further IMO:

If not then i'd suggest trying a radically different approach instead:

After a suitable pro-cannabic adaptation, via Induction Heat technology hopefully!



Somewhere in Google land there's mention of some nice features in favour a "potentialized" release/transport agent. For example:

Safe High Temperature Steam

« ...at a safe standard atmospheric pressure (room pressure). ... ...provides for a much safer high temperature steam solution. »​

High Temperature, High Energy Equals High Productivity

« Superheated steam carries more enthalpy, or total energy, than air at the same temperature and pressure. ... This gives superheated steam a much larger capability... »​

Principle of superheated steam at atmospheric pressure

« ...superheated steam has a high heat capacity and thermal conductivity. Due to its low viscosity, fast penetration into the material is facilitated. »​

Kapiche?...

Good day, have fun!!

Salutations,

I wanted to illustrate the "Clean Butane-Burning" area in blue:

Here's how that translates into a working setup, call it my "prototyping platform", one which possibly reached the status of « Last Stable Configuration », by the way:

Notice i'm often using both extension tubes in combination, the shorty alone works best with "candle" yellow flames while full length often feels preferable for blue "jet" lighters.

It's next to impossible to find an optimized screen layout on 1st try but that's quite certainly worth going back to the task again and again until satisfied; once tweaked adequately i believe it can be used in public and appear to be a tobacco pipe, m'well... That depends a bit actually, there's the matter of context. Yet, with a shorty extension tube (e.g. with no bending) i'd go for a BicTronic during some "urgent" types of situations, it will do the job though i much prefer performing maintenance/refills myself using "filtered" butane in a refillable model which i can also purge on occasions. Ah, and one major feature of my vape is the relative absence of smell...

Unfortunately it's no easy task to find a durable/reliable butane lighter and even less a yellow flame model. This is a case where the pipe requires a butane lighter in suitable working order, nonetheless. The red-hot spot on my SiC Puck varies in diameter as a direct function of the succion force i apply, it causes a visible constriction and hence affects coupling with the "UFO" element behind (which happens to group channel lengths by circumference) in a controllable manner, within the Heat-Exchanger's core!

(UFO element + Front SiC Puck with flame-catcher side down)​

It seems i can use strong inhalation force at 1st, but only for a very limited amount of time. At "saturation" point i must change of regime by lowering airflow considerably, waiting for the initial hints of vaporization a fraction of a second later... It can appear so quick now you wouldn't be sure what's the difference with a traditional smoker pipe, except perhaps a smoker would light up more than once - but hey, i can do that too!...



Anyway the amount of water condensation has dropped considerably, after ~2 months the difference has become evident to me. Which is good news because less water (H2O) means less butane by-products including carbonic gas (CO2), the later being a probable promoter of head-aches IMO. Consequently a reduction of CO2 sounds like a nice scenario to implement.

...

Finally, the bursting nature of my inhalations trigger an impression of "pepper" sometimes; chances are ex-smokers will love that i guess.

Good day, have fun!!
