What is the average lifespan of a heater core in an SSV

We find it to be about 3-6 years.  We have seen some heaters last up to 15 years.

The heater will last the longest if it is not touching any glass.  The new dab dish we have found to cut the life down some.  The good news is the heater is super easy to replace at home, or you can send it in to Elev8 Distribution to have it fixed.

Where is the world of cannabis consumption going to go? Are we headed to a tech based world of getting high? Self cleaning bongs? Robot arm dispenser dabbers? Wifi-Rigs/coffee maker? Will the future of getting ripped look like something the jetsons would use?

No one really knows, but we went from rolling a joint with fire to vaping the herb, and now to dabbing.

We really love the world of cannabis and really love vaping the flower.  We find that looking at this amazing flower lets us know how it was taken care of.  Can I see the trichomes, what about the hairs?  Is it dense?  So much with the flower.  With a vape like the Silver Surfer, you get to inspect your herb, love it and make a ritual out of it.  Then vaping lets you taste the true flavor of the herb, while smoking just makes it taste like a turd.

So yes, we do see machines helping us to consume in the future.

Can marbles be used as a carb cap for just any regular banger? Why not?

No, marbles will not work so well.  They kinda can work if you lift an edge, but we will say not well.  The reason is you need air to come in.

If you have a marble it will close the dab dish or banger, not allowing you to inhale, nor allowing the concentrates to vaporize.  The hole in a carb cap allows the air to be directed to the oils, helping them to vaporizer better.

 

How do I choose a torch for dabbing concentrates out of a quartz banger? What should I look for?

You have to ask yourself, do you want to get something that will last or something that will get you by.  For getting you by, get whatever fits your budget.

If you want a torch that will last, will work over and over.  There is no doubt to get a Big Shot.

Remember you get what you pay for.  These torches are all good for a budget though, and we find if you take care of them, they will last longer.

What we look for in a torch?

  1. Quality
    1. Does it feel sturdy?
  2. Is it hard to turn on?
    1. The Big shot is super easy and there are no childproof mechanisms.
  3. Does it hold enough fuel?
  4. How long have they been making torches for?

Why is percolation so good when I smoke or vape?

More percolation means your hit will be more filtered and cooled, thus smoother and cleaner.  The more air bubbles, the more surface area the smoke or vapor comes into contact with the water.  This is what filters and cools

How do I know when my banger needs to be replaced with a new one? What signs do i look for?

If your banger is broke, you need a new one.

If your banger is looking white (called chazzed), this is from overheating the banger with oils in it.  The carbon from the burnt oils actually start to become part of the quartz glass, making it weak.

If your banger is black, you can clean it in a super soaker and some alcohol.

Even a chazzed banger will still work.  If you like is clear, do not overheat and learn more about cold start dab.

How long, on average, are Wax maxer pen coils supposed to last?

Our heaters can last for a very very long time.  The reason for many heaters to go out is overheating.  This happens when the user tries to get a hit with no concentrates in the pen.  The heater will get too hot.  The oils are designed to cool the heater as they vape.

A typical Wax Maxer heater can see 3-6 months, but we have seen 2 years come from a heater like this.  We have also seen someone burn the heater out in 30 seconds.

Keep your heater under oils and your heater will last and last many months if not years.
