Carb caps? Low temp dabbing?

[hammalamma]

Has any one else tried this? Holy shit, game changer.

You can also use your finger to cover the top of your dome if using a domed nail, the carb caps are for domeless nails.

Notice how when he caps it that it milks up more. You can use a smaller dab and still get monster flavorful hits.

Check out the sublimator also it seems to work on the same principle but for herb and oil.

Coupling an E-nail for precise temp control with a carb cap is definitely the connoisseurs choice.

Yep, I call all "electronic nails" e-nails...

Here is mine that I built

Flavor saver. Low temp dabs for the win. Allows you to get flavor out of oil that once seemed flavorless. And gets you that REAL flavor on the headstash Errrl.

dude that home made e-nail looks dope. Im assuming the heating element is a mypin ta-4? it would be dope if you did a how to

 

[dybert]

I actually used one a lot nicer than the MyPin... I've seen lots of people unhappy with that controller, so I chose something else.

I notice mine doesn't drop temperature with a huge dab like the MyPin controller tends to do...

The hardest part was sourcing the heating element but everything else was pretty straight forward as long as you know your way around simple circuits.

Cool setup Dybert, +1 on the how too.

Would be interested to know the parts as well, I love low temp dabs. I just torch my skillet until it just barely glows and let it cool 5-7 seconds, seems perfect temp. But an e-nail set the correct temp always on would be great, my main concern was the loose cable attached to a red hot element, but hammalamma seems to have the safety part figured out.

Kool! A compact induction heated electronic nail is on my R&D list. My vision is something the size of a coffee mug.

We used induction melting extensively in the investment casting industry, and it is old technology, but miniaturization not so much.

In Heaven I visualize a battery powered coffee mug, with an oil injector, a mouthpiece to draw vapor from and to exhale it through activated charcoal, so as to not stink up the room.

Here on earth, I will start with something smaller than a shoebox.

Good idea on the nail cap! Hee, hee, hee, snicker, snark, snort.....

Carb capping and low temp dabs have been the two smallest things that made the biggest difference in my medication regimen. My daily dose has been cut in half with no loss in efficacy in regards to mitigation of symptoms. My breathing seems to be a bit better as well (although it wasn't bad before), helped me to set a new time record for my 50mile rides (cycle).

I'm interested in trying a cap, been looking at the quartz nail cap/dabber from joel halen

It just looks like it lets less air get in, thats why it looks like it milked up more when really your just adding drag and getting less air mixed in.

To each their own, and I see no use in these carb caps other then saving smoke wafting up lol, huge waste of time.

It appears to me that the single air injection point will blow the oil film around nail surface, thus exposing more to the heated surface.

I will also have you guys try this..


Do a low temp dab and watch the oil pool up... Then just blow on this puddle of oil and you will see the effect that directed air on it has.


I believe the single (or triple) hole directs the airflow over the surface of the oil puddle, and that helps vape the oil off.

Gotta love the haters!

To be fair to him, I thought carb capping was a novelty when I first heard about it. I didn't even want to try it when I saw it because I was so certain that I would just end up with a lot of unvaped oil on the nail. Anyways, I finally gave in about 2 months ago and tried it and now I can't imagine vaping without it.

If someone doesn't agree with an opinion I guess they are a hater?

I don't hate anyone.... I just think carb caps are silly.... grow some skin kid.

Last smoke shop I went into someone tried to sell me a Ti carb cap, looked so stupid overpriced and a big waste of time, same one from the OP's video.
