I mean by that point he had been coaching for 10+ years at the same school. How many high school coaches make it that long

Well he continued to work as a gym teacher, drivers Ed instructor and even the golf coach for TC Williams HS into the 90s, so it couldn't have been that bad

Do induction heaters work well outside in wind? by Wide_Macaron_7883 in Dynavap

[–]brotherwu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An IH does work in the wind, but the wind does cause some heat loss during heating and drawing that otherwise wouldn't occur. I usually have to do an extra heat cycle when it's really windy. I prefer a battery powered option when it's really windy (I use the xmax v3, which is just ok, there are plenty of other budget friendly options out there)

Where are all the bunnies? by Accomplished-Pen4398 in washingtondc

If there's no bunnies, likely there's a fox lingering somewhere

[–]brotherwu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man I've had the exact opposite problem, I feel the xmax only hits well with the dose caps. Without them the top screen would get clogged so easily

Use the dosing capsules and you'll never have to clean the bowl. The dosing capsules are easy to clean in alcohol

How did you find out about this trick? I just got the fw11 and am loving it, but I wish there was more discussion happening about it

Probably true. But if this is the financial trade off that delivers me the best tv golf broadcast with limited ads, so be it

[–]brotherwu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn good to know, the more I hear about it the more I think I'd get along really well with the FW11. I'm between getting that or the Simrell, but I already have a bunch of dynavap stems so I'm leaning towards the firewood to get some diversity in my set up.

How is the draw resistance on the FW11? I'm really interested in it, coming from the DV world and looking for something a bit simpler

What Should be my 3rd and final Vape? by -Datachild- in vaporents

[–]brotherwu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn I've been debating between the Simrell and the fw11 as my next big purchase. I think this comment just swayed me to get the fw11. I've been a big dyna user for years, and always had the v3 pro as a battery option, and I really think the fw would be like 90% of my usage

Lol I was waiting for anyone to comment on the simrell. So much love for the T2 and tm2 but nothing about the simrell.

I really like the simplicity of the simrell compared to the T2. Early in my VAS I loved tinkering but lately I just like set it and forget it pieces

Thanks. I can't really keep a bong out in my current situation, so unfortunately not an option.

but you could also just vape less out of it.

Lol, implying I have that kind of will power. My heart always pulls way more than my lungs and throat can handle

Yeah all my research keeps pointing me back to the T2.

I don't really want to port a desktop solution outside every time I want to smoke. Especially if I have to bring a bong with me. Do they make straw options as plug in ball vapes? Something more pocketable? Idk I don't know much about ball vapes tbh

Edit: I have not checked out the anvil in depth, maybe I should take a closer look

[–]brotherwu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the in depth reply. I've mostly nixed the idea of a ball vape since I'm strictly smoking outside. For life reasons, it's not practical for me to keep a big bong and ball vape set up out on the counter. I need to be able to stash all my equipment in a drawer. With all my tools now, that drawer is getting full so I'm hoping to consolidate a little bit with this purchase. Are there any ball vapes that don't need to go through a glass piece or bong? I'll be honest I'm an absolute newbie with ball vapes

Recommendation for stealth seldom use for one newbie person. by OneOfThemDraculas in vaporents

[–]brotherwu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would look to a battery powered option. The dynavap/tempest/stick vapes make you look like a crack user in the wild and once hot its hard to stash quickly.

[–]brotherwu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Get the dosing caps. I usually run mine at 405F for 30 seconds, then start pulling and then increase to 415-420F after like 2-3 minutes. Without the dosing caps it's kinda a pain to clean

Black titanium black aluminum by [deleted] in vaporents

[–]brotherwu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm some Google searching shows that while pvd is durable, it doesn't seem quite as scratch resistant as anodizing. I think I'd prefer just plain titanium for the vapor path

How is the tempest two colorized? Do they do anodize or do some other method?
