Never would have thought it'd make such a huge difference. The "smoking" experience is different and actually a lot more pleasant. The high was also a little different: it still hit hard, but it took a little to get there. There was an initial learning curve of using this thing (Dynavap B), but after that hurdle, it was smooth sailing from there.
When it's just right, it's really good. I have a hard time getting the heat right and sometimes end up overdoing it. My son has the little spaceship induction heater and loves it.
It takes some practice for sure. I’ve personally landed on a single jet zippo torch and 3 burns per bowl, starting with a quick burn near the tip for that initial flavor hit then working my way down to the base of the bowl with longer burns to get those clouds.
I have a pax 2 and I got the budkups for it, which are really nice. I like that the dynavap is so quick and easy to empty and refill - I just need work on finding a consistent heating technique. Last year I started buying the disposable vapes from Secret Nature and I haven't been using my dry herb vapes as much. I need to get back to it. I have the Hoku subscription and it's starting to pile up.
