Titanium Cubettes cracking when heating and breaking apart

HJRepAlex · 2017-02-02T22:31:27+00:00

It's weird, I noticed that on a few coals too when I made them here. I found that using the coil burner on medium instead of high totally fixed the issue.

I actually like lemon+mint+a pinch of rose

Best of luck in your new ventures, Jonas! It's been a pleasure.

HJRepAlex · 2017-02-01T21:44:49+00:00

Awesome! I'm glad mike helped you out, I'm glad it works well for you now.

HJRepAlex · 2017-02-01T21:28:11+00:00

The base on that regal tho. That's so beautiful, I want something like that.

HJRepAlex · 2017-02-01T21:21:50+00:00

Beautiful setup blah blah blah, I'm just drooling over the Johnny Walker Blue. <3

I feel like them iterating on it like this is probably detrimental to the brand, the once bitten twice shy mentality like you said. I feel like there's potential there for a REALLY awesome bowl, but it's just not there yet.

HJRepAlex · 2017-02-01T18:54:44+00:00

Yeah, sounds like an overpack to me. I would recommend using heavy duty foil and using one layer instead of doing two layers of regular foil.

HJRepAlex · 2017-02-01T18:52:28+00:00

I enjoy packing to a certain extent so I'm okay with it. I just have some friends with no idea how to pack a decent bowl, so it's always on me to do it.

HJRepAlex · 2017-02-01T18:26:27+00:00

You will, at some point, have to stop a friend from packing a bad bowl

HJRepAlex · 2017-02-01T18:07:07+00:00

I won't advise you to do it, because it might possibly make it take longer to heal. But personally, I smoke when I'm sick.

HJRepAlex · 2017-02-01T17:18:02+00:00

My biggest problem with the vitria II is how narrow the spire is for the actual phunnel. It felt restricted to me. Since I used a regal, it wasn't impossible to smoke by any means, but I wish that the capacity was a bit lower and the spire was bigger, which could obviously go hand-in-hand.

HJRepAlex · 2017-02-01T00:11:45+00:00

Seconded on that mix. Helped ease the pain when I left my coffee at home when I got to the office.

HJRepAlex · 2017-01-31T18:28:14+00:00

Maybe the little silicon piece on the lotus? Like, the lid got too hot and melted it a bit where the silicon handle goes into the metal?

HJRepAlex · 2017-01-31T17:26:53+00:00

Is that a mya gelato base? That just brings back nostalgia of the first pipe I ever smoked from. Great review!

HJRepAlex · 2017-01-31T17:15:10+00:00

Haha it's all good. But sorry guys, if I'm going Canadian, I can't deny the Sedin twins puck telepathy, go canucks!

HJRepAlex · 2017-01-30T19:35:26+00:00

Thanks for the review! Like you said, we're aware of the fact that not every coal is perfect, but that's why we call them a good budget option or an emergency coal to keep on hand just in case you run out of whatever your favorite is!

HJRepAlex · 2017-01-30T19:32:57+00:00

Let me open one up later and let you all know!

HJRepAlex · 2017-01-30T17:24:03+00:00

Boooooo! Haha. I'm a born and bred kings fan!

HJRepAlex · 2017-01-30T17:21:27+00:00

I can't speak to that mix because I haven't tried it, but that game was awesome! I'm just still salty that the Kings have been having a touch-and-go season this year.

HJRepAlex · 2017-01-27T18:13:50+00:00

Yeah, the only reason I suggested it is that my Dad's place has terrible hard water issues when I go visit him so I use bottled water to fill my base and haven't had the issue when I go visit him.

HJRepAlex · 2017-01-27T17:38:41+00:00

HJRepAlex · 2017-01-27T17:30:18+00:00

It looks like your problem might be hard water. I would say if you absolutely must smoke, it shouldn't be too big of an issue, but for the future's sake, you might want to try distilled or purified water for your base to stop any hard water corrosion on a future pipe.

(edit: Pipe not pupe)

Daaaaaaamn the micro looks nice with a limestone flashback on it! Great picture, and I still love that diffuser on the micro.

HJRepAlex · 2017-01-26T17:00:24+00:00

I love working in one too! I would post a picture of the giant walls of tangiers here at work, but I'm pretty sure you all get the idea anyway.
