Combining dabs and flower (terp slurper flab)

Hello everyone,

i want to share my favorite way to combine dabbing and flower vaping (even though i think its better to just take a dab).
You can use a S&B dosing capsule if your terp slurper has the right size, for my slurper it fits perfectly. Just put a bowl shaped screen on top which is very important because if the capsule can move the hot air will not flow through it. Make sure the marbel is sealing the top and not lifted by the screen. I aim for 315°C (600F) and start hitting the hot air through the dosing capsule to extract the herb until my lungs are half full and the slurper cooled down to 270°C (520F) to then feed the dab into the slurper.
I use an electronic heater to heat up the slurper to get good temperature control. The dosing capsule needs some time to heat up before you get a good extraction, by putting in the capsule while its still heating its possible control the ratio of convection to conduction.
More conduction and thus more intense vapor if you heat the capsule longer.
You can fill the slurper with terp perls to store more heat and extract at lower temps or use a pillar if you don´t mind that its spinning dry for the first half hit. I get a good even extraction of the flower, but it mostly happens before i add the dab because the dab
cools the slurper down.

This is fascinating and I can’t wait to try it

I wonder if a special banger and cap/insert could be made for exactly this purpose

I plan to build one, but i don’t know when i get to it. I’m currently busy building a battery powered heater system for my portable terp slurper.

Well done…and welcome to the forum! I’ll have to hunt through my gear for a solution.

That’s the ticket!

I created a few different vape ideas based around the concept but somewhat more thermodynamically optimized. Main thing I was going after was the form factor.

Thought about building some prototypes.

I wouldn’t expect any real/major convection heating to be occurring with a S&B capsule.

Those routinely get hot enough to reach and sustain vaporization temperatures without any air movement.

Biggest reason I probably never made the prototypes is close to something you already said “even though i think it’s better to just take a dab).” :sweat_smile:

Thanks that’s interesting i never thought about the conduction effect of the capsule like that.
