Ahh, this is why our Silver Surfer does not use a digital readout. As you become one with cannabis and become a connoisseur you will find what you like. Lower temps give the best flavor. Each cannabinoid has a different temperature it vaporizes at, so really, find what you like, set it and forget it.
Never a need to go higher than 428 F
We do not feel this at all. Flavor comes mostly from the terpenes in cannabis. To enjoy the flavor the best it really comes down to the proper low temperatures. The hotter the temp, the more the fats and lipids will vaporizer, changing the flavor.
We feel small rigs are a fad, and while for sure a challenge to make, a normal rig will give you the same great flavors as a small rig.
The volume of air inside a nano, small, standard or even a large bong is kinda small, and the air is moving so fast from the front of the rig to your lungs we feel this is negligible. The idea that a small rig gives better flavor can be argued like anything, but we feel it is the reality that a larger rig is hard to make, so the artist says hey, it works better for this, this we feel is marketing and no science behind it when this small of volume is considered.
No, Elev8 Premier has so many things to do that these are not of top priority. While it is a good item, we feel the Silver Surfer is far superior for the $$$. Also, as they make the glass for the SSV, most all the glass rigs also work with anything.
Invest in Elev8 for now, and the future
As we are not scientists we do not really know. Volatile chemicals have been used for decades to get all kinds of concentrates we use every day. If done properly these volatile substances are removed.
For people making concentrates at home unprofessionally, yes, this is considered to be clean.
If you want to save a lot of money, time and be better to the earth, while truly experience cannabis, consider a vape like the Silver Surfer. We call vaping doing raw dabs, as you are vaping the concentrates right off the plant.
This is the most common for borosilicate glass. Soft glass can also be etched with an acid cream.
Abrasives used are all over the board, but Aluminum Oxide is the most standard. Sandblasting is called Graal
We feel this is because the person doing rosin has become more of a connissoure and wants to enjoy the flavor and effects. The person with BHO may be new and not fully aware of a low temp dab. Learn more about low temp dabs here.
For the ultimate flavor, many connoisseurs will use a vape like the SSV. This can be controlled for your perfect temp. The Silver Surfer vapes flower and with the EOK attachment, you can do traditional dabs.
The answer is a special cap will help out better like the image below. But you can get away with the bottom of a glass jar or something else. We really love round bangers as they fit most carb caps. Check out our thick wall bangers that we really love.
Yes, using water to filter your smoke will reduce the tars and some other poo.
If you are really looking for a better way, consider vaping. A vape like the Silver Surfer will deliver true flavor. This is what we call raw dabs. Vapes like the SSV remove up to 90% of the tars and carcinogens, as well as offer a much higher bioavailability over smoking. Vaping is up to 80%, while smoking is about 30%.
Removing combustion like what a vape does will also prevent the destruction of goodness in the herb, as up to 60% can be destroyed from the high heat of combustion.
The answer is YES!
The better the prep, the easier the build. No one wants to fight a battle when making something big. So the cleaner the prep, the cleaner the rig.
Everything in life is all about the proper prep. If you fail to prep well, you will fail
Things are always being tried, and while you can, most things just do not work well other than gold or silver.
