A way to "E-mesh-fy" a dry herbs vaporizer?

[windyshaman]

Some context: I've been using one and as of recently - a couple of identical, portable dry herbs vaporizers for my DMT practices - for over a year now.
And I have it nailed down well enough at this point to be able to talk about repeatable results.
Now - normally - I layer spice with camomille, but lately I was eye-balling an e-mesh rig and it gave me an idea.
I sorta tried it already back when I was experimenting with a desktop setup, but it didn't do much at the time... well, the whole thing didn't do much for me - period.

So here's what I changed Today for an earlier session:
- instead of filling half the chamber with camomille - I only added a small layer of ~1/8" on the bottom (and this was more of a precaution to have something absorbing and prevent spice leakage at full temperature)
- and then I added a stack of pipe mesh screens of the exact chamber's size, about 3/4 of the way up
- added spice
- filled the rest of the available volume with more screens (not sure about the total, about 16-20 easily)

Had the temperature maxed out to 221C, let it sit for about 30-45 secs...
Inhale...
This is a little harsher than with camomille, but that first full inhale did hit so hard...

Outcome:
- I've definitely broken through on a much lower dosage than is required usually (70mg vs 100mg)
- overall today's trips felt a lot stronger
- comedown was a little more abrupt as there wasn't much left in vaporizers to surf on the way down... bone dry after a few real hits
- I'm really impressed
- will try to eliminate camomille altogether next time, see if there's any leakage from the chamber

nice - hey thanks for sharing @windyshaman it's always cool learning new device techniques and tips for devices - thnx for reporting

Hi there , my technique can be a bit similar to yours , I need to use a gauze With my volcano hybrid vape , but I keep my temperature around 170-180c. much smoother transition in , but got to be patient and let it get to full vaporization , like you said 30 - 60 sec ish .
Found at 210 c the ride in can be a little ferocious and a little harsh .

The last time I done 100mg I regretted it !! One of my more scarry journeys . !! Very interesting but would rather not go there again
Now I do 40 mg if Im using my one or two hit pufco ( normally in bed)
Or 70mg if I'm using volcano and want to " surf my way down "
I will sometimes have my pufco ready to go as a back up ,
for some nice big waves .

Happy days 🫯

I hear doses like 100 mg can cause blackouts. I'm prolly apt to explore 15-30 maybe even 40 mg doses when i get to extracting. I think that a sub-ohm device is fit for me but I wish i had an e-mesh setup too. I heard because of regulations its difficult to acquire the parts

Yes 100mg in one pull is not a good idea, prob will blackout or like in my case be to much to cope with ! and probably be a wast .
A one pull machine like a e-mesh isn't designed for that . ( Using the wire element)

But a dry herb machine like a volcano or a Ariser solo stays on for 10 min+ and goes to low temp and takes time to totally vaporize. Usually there is some left after the initial pulls , to go again 5 minutes in .
Especially if you wack the temperature up .
