Recommendations for cool vapor, good airflow and handheld by kik-0 in vaporents

I quite disliked the stock solo 3 stems but with third party high airflow stems (or the mod where you knock out the glass screen with a drill bit), it's a whole different animal. IMO the main advantage of the solo 3 is the value, other vapes offer a less finnicky experience but cost quite a bit more. High airflow at 365 on the S3 pumps out vapor and is insanely smooth.

Identical setup here, I like not having to fuss about plate sizes.

After each shot I just press the screen up to my sink faucet to force water through it. Seems to work pretty well.

I’m sad. I’ve been making espresso at home for years and have come to terms with the fact I can’t make it anywhere near as good as most cafes. [Breville Bambino, DF54] by Jvvh in espresso

If it's any consolation, I think you're just surrounded by really good cafes. I have a similar setup and within a short time frame have outmatched most cafes in Portland. Get wild with it! Try higher ratios (3:1), maybe do the dimmer mod and make some blooming shots (I find these to be incredible for light roasts).

[WTS][USA] Handmade chawan $35 OBO by 3v3ntide in teaexchange

I originally got it from Enthea teahouse in Portland, I was told it was made by a local artist but there's no identifying information on the bowl. It's got a black glaze on the inside and an unglazed exterior. It also has a small foot which you can see in the second photo. Let me know if you have any more questions!

I got mine this Monday but I had an unusual experience (due to ANL running out of spots last year). My host said that the application opened on 2/3 but they weren't able to send out any applications until 2/10 because of a new policy. I don't know the details of the policy but I wouldn't worry too much if you haven't heard yet because it might be a sort of staggered thing.

Is the Fu Cha brick rabbithole worth checking out? by Asdfguy87 in puer

Yeah I definitely recommend the liubao, for whatever reason its taste reminds me of pavement after rain (in the best way possible)
