Has anyone had trouble with the ceramic discs many of us use in the GVG becoming gunked up and somehow producing more smoke than vapor? This is my only idea what is going wrong...
A few months ago when I started using the GVG with ceramic disc it seemed nearly foolproof. Even if I was rather aggressive with the torch I would still get a smooth vapor with no visible smoke on exhale.
The past several weeks something has changed though. All I get is a huge lung full of thick smoke and only mild effect from the DMT. I've tried moving the torch farther away and going about it very slowly but still smoke is all I get. I've tried a smaller torch, a regular lighter even- all smoke smoke smoke. The smoke is still active or contains some vapor, but I'm clearly losing spice as it's not sending me near where I would expect. Another interesting thing is that the smoke is not at all harsh like burnt spice. Still, on exhale I see a huge plume of thick smoke and little effect.
I'm baffled what is going on. I have literally changed nothing (that I'm aware of) and it's gone to complete crap. All I can think is that after many many uses the ceramic disc is not functioning like it once did. Or maybe too the ceramic filter in the cap has gunk in it? I've cleaned all these parts repeatedly with no change so I don't know.
Anyone else run into a problem like this with the discs? I suppose the next logical thing to do is order another disc and see if that fixes it.
