While waiting for the official Crown bowl, this is how I’m using it.
Heating it with a YLL IH 3.0 for 60 seconds at 75W
Ball media is 3mm high purity SiC for increased airflow for my quick “one and done” rips.
Now that it’s all setup with the YlL IH 3.0 it is now strictly used as my first portable ball vape. I take it on weekend trips or out outside on the patio with just a glass J-hook loaded with cooling beads.
Also, I just dropped it in the YLL and then had the tbowl loaded. After I dropped the crown in the YLL, I torched the tbowl until I saw some vapor start, then cut the heat.
By then, YLL was done and this thing really smacked in the stone zone.
here’s a post i made in the 420vapezone discord recently… i think ive really dialed it in with the wand now and am really lovin it. using it with the Pockety is a completely different experience (actually believe im starting to like this better, tho the Pockety experience is great in its own way). i’ll be posting up some performance/function video clips with this method soon, but figured id repost the instructions and after this ill repost my pic from that day… here’s the directions post:
“hopefully, maybe, this can help someone, now or in the future… cheers.”
“(my first) Crown + Wand high extraction method/technique on 14mm rig (currently using spacer-fixed tm.bowl clone + TAG 14mm straight fab rig & the Crown w/a matrix of 2mm SiC + some moissanite):”
1. Wand set to 3rd setting on Herb Mode
2. Preheat fully packed & centerhole-poked bowl for 14-16 blinks on first cold start (quickly put to side for a moment for the following)...
3. Heat Crown at 3rd setting until full timeout, quickly place upon bowl, count 7sec, then rip it for as long as you can...
4. Place Crown aside upside-down to stand on it's own (or put upon cooling stand or ledge), stir bowl (unless it's dark enough that you need to agitate and dump fully extracted material already that's usually centered in the middle and the middle across the top layer, but that's not usually the case yet from.the first hit), with the greenish or tanish extractable material left, begin loosening up & flipping over the under-material upon itself on the top until fully homogenized & mixed again. Replace centerhole-poke & retamp gently while making sure to keep the pack itself snugly loose(ish).
5. Reheat bowl for 12-14 blinks (try lower first if not experienced), put aside.
6. Repeat Step 3. ("Reheat Crown at 3rd setting until full timeout, quickly place upon bowl, count 7sec, then rip it for as long as you can.")
7. Repeat Step 4.
8. Reheat bowl for no more than 10-12 blinks now, put aside.
9. Repeat Steps 6-8 until bowl is over & fully extracted (but usually this will probably be it, sometimes even only 2 hits/cycles).
I found I really enjoyed using the Crown injector style with a 18mm female adaptor I converted to a bowl. Full lung convection hits. I am looking forward to the glass bowl insert - the ti got pretty sticky and I had some issues with binding.
