I’ll use one of these sheets to document a session or three.
BUT I NEED TO TAKE CONSISTENT DRAWS
I can inhale for 30+ seconds if the vape is tight enough, so i’ll limit each documented draw to a consistent length for all vaporizers regardless of its airflow
How long is the average inhale length with a relatively open vaporizer?
I mostly vape with dosing capsules, and I pack them real tight. The most draws 3 to 4 seconds maybe at the end when there is not much left I take 5 to 6 seconds draws. Moderate temps only higher to finish. This way the flavor last a long time. Longer draws make me cough
I don’t think I have ever timed my hit, and it’s too early for me to start, but hitting an empty Frolic or Venty I seem to fall into the 6-11 seconds, though when I’m spaced out watching TV it’s probably the 2-5 seconds, but that is muscle memory more than vaping, so I voted 6-11. Out of curiosity I did a test hit of the DaVinci and it was twice as long.
I love the micro doses but still give you massive rips!
Well, maybe not micro at 0,5g per load but that is pretty light.
I will load up a bowl using my “PINCH” scoop, level it gives consistent 0,5g loads.
Using either my ZX, Supreme V4, Tempest 2, Tornado actually any of my convection vapes, I will take up to 20 second draws to finish the load in one hit.
I find that doing it this way I maximize flavor and extraction in one hit.
The ABV is always light brown from top to bottom, sides included and crumbles to a dust.
I typically am using my Hornet and can clear the bowl in 7-8 seconds. But I am very capable of a 25+ second hit on my larger devices like the Mercury or the Taroma XL.
I chose the 2-5 and 6-11 categories although I’m sure that there are times when my draw will go beyond 11 seconds.
I like starting most sessions with good old-fashioned pipe-puffs to get the vapor flowing and get the nose involved. Taste is nothing with the smells that go with it! These are largely 2-5 sec inhales although I often like chaining a lot of these pipe-puffs together. In this regard it can resemble a really long draw.
Usually the pipe puffs are followed by deep, 6-11 sec draws for the most part after that until the session ends.
Draw-time, Dosage & Devices used:
I chose the 6-11 range based on my usage of my Dynavap G3 and M2021 slow sips. I load around 0.1g-0.2g usually and if I am using my Arizer Air SE it’s gotta be around the 0.2g-0.3g range I estimate.
I have a tendency to moderately tamp down whatever I am loading. Generally achieving 1 good long sip on the Dynas and a few mid-to-long sips on with my Arizer Air SE still within the 6-11 range.
Mostly medicating with CBD these days an the occasional sprinkle of THC for a combination.
Temperature Range:
As far as temp zone I go around 3-5 seconds pass the 2nd click on Dynavap Caps depending on the relative-humidity in the flower using a torch and a little bit of variation for induction heater use. Not exactly sure the temp range on the Dynas I’m hitting my temp gun was vastly off reading the caps but I estimate around 230c.
For the Air SE it’s in the green setting of 200c/374f.
Also @420vapezone could we please see a completed Session Test Sheet or a link to any already shared?
If I am being impatient and they are set to be shared elsewhere here; I can wait with the group.
Though I am eager to see how it’s executed and recorded - I think it’s a cool idea.
I like to make it a lung buster even if it’s microdoses. Gotta love the Vapvana pinch hitter bowl and the thermal accumulator for this. Biiiiiiig inhales even with a small piece.
The size, strength and length of my hits vary depending on device. Obviously there is the device limitations whether it be a Dynavap bowl, Lobo, Venty, TM2, ball vape. On my main drivers like a TM2/Frolic/Venty about a full 2 tenths of a gram and I am more of a moderate to biggish ripper with a strong pull for about 8-10sec no. of hits per bowl vary device depending. On my ball vape I often load it up with a large hit like .3+ or something and kill it in a long strong 8 second pull. Usually one and done but maybe a small finish up once in a while. My lung capacity has improved so damn much after switching from combustion years ago.
Curse you Troy! I never paid attention to the actual time I hit until your post, and now I’m timing every hit!
The reason for the post though, I like coarse going in the Solo 3, but most of my vapes I prefer a finer grind on. Since I don’t change the grind plate every bowl, sometimes I use coarse grind in other vapes, and sometimes a finer grind in the Solo.
I have found that my normal inhale times are different depending on the grind. I tend to inhale to a point I can feel/taste the vapor and on a course grind my inhale tends to be about 2-3 seconds longer than on a fine grind. Same was true on the Frolic. I haven’t yet tried on the others, but though it was interesting, especially considering the post about effects at various draw lengths.
