KISS (2-parts) IH-driven fix for failed designs...

[Egzoset]

Salutations,

In retrospective we got the never-ending Loto Labs Evoke/Lux years-long mirage concluding with a piss-poor Dry Herb conductive/radiative delivery mode, then a much more decent IH-driver known as Dr. Dabber's Switch though still failing to offer the potential value to be expected from a susceptor, while being basically redistributed as oven walls instead... Each time done on a portable battery budget despite some obvious waste of energy which i believe can be trimmed down in future eventual yet-to-come DynaVap scenarios.

So here's how Egzoset envisions the quest for relatively satisfying portable KISS-style IH/Bi-Energy solutions:

Silicon Carbide Foam contained inside a simple Curie-effect alloy Ring promises to support a consumption mode previously explored in my 6-years old "Harm Reduction type of modded vaporizer pipe", now fully solved:

Take note of the PinHole path(s) finally verified and most definitively adopted...

M'well, i'm still currently performing a last few adjustments but that's plenty proof-of-concept to comment on today's DiY challenge anyway.

Not to mention my theory behind both layouts remains the same:

My LAVATube concept belongs to a KISS mentality indeed but there's a major trade-off coming with it: half of it irradiates energy outside - and that's the point where one might want to argue DynaVap's spiral path under a VapCap is just what it takes to "recycle" such heat lost for no good purpose otherwise. Even better, the simpler 2-parts coaxial structure (plus opt. screen) doesn't only displace hot metal surfaces away: it invites Full-Glass scenarios though at the cost of additional delays making it even more desirable to exploit "transitional" properties which emerge in "Micro-Bursting" mode. This allows a relatively slow/steady Pre-Heat (Charge Injection) cycle while providing a brief/dense energy "bubble" intended to target tiny features of a bowl's contact-surfaces (mainly trichomes)...

As a bonus pure analog Output Control (gained in previous Near-Symetrical LAVACapsule strategies) would remain compatible with such coaxial setup i believe. YMMV. Though i continue to view my VG-inspired Hybrid Core as one offering the most optimized energy budget, because it's structed to behave like a thermal bottle. Too bad it falls into the "Hot Dry Air" category in absence of clean-burning butane to generate Inlet Water, hence making it a lesser priority at least until i solved the PH problem recently.

Final goal(s) ain't changed significantly.

Good day, have fun!! ☮

Salutations everyone,

Although this topic could have been discussed in a separate thread i find it's so closely linked to my previous publication (from above) it may acually prove even more appropriate right here, so my question follows:

​

Are there any lead (Pb) traces present in the extra-hot exhaust gas stream of clean-burning butane which could threaten to induce "Saturnism" someday??​

​

For starters lets have some vague argumentation in favour of a switch to blue flames:

Herb Co.: Why the chemicals in your lighter may be slowly KILLING you (2017-May-4)​

...​

« Use a torch lighter (more likely to burn off butane) »​

It still won't convince me that butane itself reaches my lungs path when applying normal directives as these:

0. About Bowl loading, Always Fill and Never Pack. Keep in mind the Support Loop located right under a pipe's Cannabic Bowl needs to be "flipped" after removal as this greatly eases re-insertion, simply by screwing it in clockwise. Bowl size/weight is ajusted to match a top's temporary heat-storage capacity using that Support Loop.

1. With butane and/or it's related compounds present in the lungs path just make sure there's ALWAYS a CLEAN-BURNING flame to convert butane from such stream into relatively safe superheated Water Vapor and Carbonic Gas, while taking care to inhale with much less force (by lifting the thumb over a pipe's PinHole) to Pre-Heat the Hybrid Core of a customized Sphere almost SEPARATELY. Filtered butane is Paramount and proper lighter maintenance too (which includes tank purges to get rid of contaminant accumulations).

2. NEVER let a flame touch anything as this will result in the addition of soot plus other nuisances. All that is required to be captured by the Flame-Catcher to inject a "Heat Charge" (or "Energy Bubble") has to do with the Energy-Carrying Exhaust + some Radiative Heat.

3. NEVER light up or extinguist a butane lighter close to the Flame Catcher. Flint-Wheel Yellow-Flame models generate health-hazard particles in the spark while the Blue Flame ones may fail to consume butane cleanly (extinguish at random and/or spitting out some contaminant droplets not convertible by fire)... Briefly put, ALWAYS wait for a flame to STABILIZE before it's taken close to the Flame-Catcher Aperture.

4. When a primary PinHole is available lift thumb during Pre-Heating to enhance the Hybrid Core's transitional "Shield" effect. Stop torching after the SiC Front Puck appears to glow dim-red (which reflects approximative temperature once that Sphere got sufficiently energized), e.g. between 2~5 seconds depending on a butane lighter. Past this power injection cycle use the temporary "Heat Charge" from the Hybrid Core WITHOUT any butane and/or related stream still present near the Flame-Catcher Aperture. This indirect/residual energy-source ALONE shall suffice to proceed with the actual Vaporization process.

5. While vaporizing/inhaling try obstructing the PinHole in brief pulses, in very short bursts at first then increasingly longer to compensate for lost heat from the Hybrid Core as its energy reserve gets depleted. The periods with no PinHole-obstructive thumb in action contribute to oxygenation of the cannabic stream while promoting early detection of vaporization signs, especially hints as aroma/taste which appear to depend on minimal "Attack"/"Decay" periods around the pulse itself (to cut total "Baking" time)... Think of some method vaguely similar to "pumping" a car's breaks in an emergy maneuver situation, the goal being to probe using a sequence of short pulses instead of attempting to get it done in 1 single long pulse. The start/stop transitions appear to cause TURBULENCE which helps with stream movement a lot.

6. A ~125 mg Bowl provides about 5~6 tokes, the left-over can be made useful at a later time to produce relaxing cookies. Don't forget that once in a while even an empty cannabic Bowl can provide some satisfying toke (or two) from a sticky/waxy screen alone. Evidently stronger cookies should result from leaving more THC behind. Yet these days i just prefer no to bother and vape it dry: used vegetal substrate falls off easily anyway...

7. It's time for cleanup maintenance when the pipe stops working as usual. Pick a pipe stick wetted with 94 % pure grain alcohol to clean wood VG Handles fast. NEVER allow the wood to absorb water as this would promote cracks in the wood. Metal models are to be prefered when condensed noble molecules need to be "reclaimed", though these feel heavier in the hand while wood's near organic-like aspects would prove more "sexy" (with the benefit of being an insulator). Alternately, wood is also an absorbing material so this makes it less desirable if/when resin reclaims are desired, especially during a user-training period. The back face of metal pipes proves handy for quick torch-cleaning of a screen (so it won't generate metal fumes anymore...), with no risk of a skin burn as a result of mass nonetheless. Choose the "Classic" look Aluminium for superior aroma/taste performance + ease of maintenance (+ Single-Hand 2-Fingers manual PH control).

8. Initially i found the genuine layout with VG's DuckLips MouthPiece was getting uncomfortably hot, the addition of a half-ball stainless steel object down under my cannabic Bowl paved the way to lower-temperature cannabic vapor being sent towards the lungs; as an option it may also help to capture particles in the cannabic vapor using a tiny cotton ball which somewhat adds to the cooling action after getting moist. Half-sphere screens were gradually dropped in my more recent versions, at 1st in favour of an auxiliary PinHole located on the MP base, then my whole PinHole concept finally unfold as a Full-Fledged implementation offering 4 different Fresh Air admission sites along the path!...

9. When attempting to reconfigure DuckLips MouthPieces to reflect the side-wise preference of an operator (e.g. right-handed vs left-handed positioning) try to never forget about twisting this part while pulling on it with care as its stem proved very brittle. Somehow an helix motion seems more gentle.

10. The need for eye-contact on a flame tip may require some Flexible Plastic PVC Tubing Extension. A length around 12.5 cm will do and that's a better place where to install the optional cotton ball (strongly recommended), unless a plastic/metal Mating junction is available of course. Last but not least, clear plastic makes it easy to monitor butane consumption based on water vapor condensation creating droplets in the tube after a potential abuse situation, or operating error, etc. The Tubing Extension ultimately opacifies if/when abuse continues. End the session and re-evaluate operator skills if this occurs, don't forget to shake off liquid water droplets after removing that tube. Consider this a true "Harm Reduction" self-awareness feature.

...

My own personal reasoning is that long-term exposure to lead (Pb) may result in a "Saturnism" syndrome which is said to occur simply because our human physiology ain't able to properly eliminate such slow poison. Hence my "Plan-B" may still seem tolerable to mature adults who only fall-back to butane outside a chronic use context, while that's something which definitely calls for answers when considering all other cases IMO.

Good day, hve fun!! ☮

Salutations w01fg4ng,

A desktop Dr dabber would be pretty cool.

Hummm... It may prove convenient at 1st glance, yes, yet i still believe too much emphasis relates to IH-driver design while i don't suppose we'll ever get a real chance to see any blueprints (mainly electronic schematics). There's genuine enthousiasm i'm sure, though it actually seems quite similar to my own for customized VG pipes - which ain't focussed on butane ligther features at all...

Instead my goal always been enhancement of the release/delivery method via "The Shortest Path of Lesser Transformation", although i do care about finding adapted butane lighers as well - but i'd never want to build one (nor custimize it!) as i prefer to delegate such tricky work to 3rd-parties.

As i may have pointed out previously, here or elsewhere, Loto Labs contributed by demonstrating the limitations of single-battery senarios while Dr. Dabber offered the (expensive) means to explore IH-driving potential using an electromagnetic generator with much more punch (despite considering heat continues to get wasted)...

Unfortunately i expect many more challenges await right ahead which make me think crude force alone will fail to compensate for a "relaxed" strategy in the end. Which is why i recommend to convert conductive/radiative heat into convective/radiative vectors - exactly as initally suggested above. A rational energy budget can extend battery autonomy in portable applications, so i'll bet it will be on the competitor's to-do list eventually, e.g. when consumer options start to multiply.

Then i also come to think of the ritual which must approximately emulate cigarette/"joint" smoking to SEDUCE those who did quit all combustion and yet happen to appreciate health-wise alternatives.

All it takes is a way to separate self-poisoning compounds from the cannabic stream and a nearly perfect solution doing just that is to avoid self-vilifying heat in the 1st place. So, in obvious situations where release/delivery concerns were practically eclipsed (...), can actively-updated microcode suffice to bridge the gap auto-magically?? M'well i get a persistent impression that fairly involving conceptual work remains to be performed, pre-emptively... For example i can't even tell if "Gate Drivers" were integrated into any of both ready-made products, which may be suitable in a context promoting more susceptor mass (!), to compensate for previous designer decisions i shall add.

Ultimately a portable IH-driver will have to fit in-between the Lux and Switch proposals, quite likely after adopting some "slingshot"/"catapult" logic capable of avoiding power leaks, etc. That's one reason why i bet on pulse-heating, optionally using direct 3-phasic energy conversion and so much more: briefly put i'd never close the door to valuable features at priori just because it's commercially practical. I'm pleased to know there are IH-drivers around (most especially after being told for nearly a decade that it's not likely to happen!), one problem being that real issues must be addressed in a convincing manner IMO.

I'm sure it's just a matter of time before it's on the shelf.

Another problem is that everyone doesn't feel like waiting for the actual vaporizer aspects to be fine-tuned. In a manner of speaking lets begin to imagine the waste of time, efforts & resources simply trying to force a square plug to fit into a round socket!
