Rising Star
Woolmer said:I managed to fine-tune this method. I also realized as you mentioned before Starway that it is necessary to have extra mesh layers to prevent any dmt from dripping directly onto the bottom heater mesh. This was previously causing me to burn a lot of dmt.
I cut 3 or 4 circles of mesh the circumference of the atomizer and fit them near the top of the atomizer. I also made a small indent/basket in the center of them for the dmt to pool.
A three-way glass adapter is placed over the top of the atomizer to allow some space for cooling to occur. I am also using that same stock wotofo profile mesh that you mentioned as a heater.
The air holes are all kept closed, and the atomizer is fired at 25-30w without any inhalation for about 10-20 seconds. The side end of the glass adapter is kept closed with my finger. I can see looking down the glass adapter the vapour is pooling and once it is very thick only then do I inhale. I open the side end of the glass adapter while inhaling to allow for some more cooling.
Looks great Woolmer!
You said...[[The air holes are all kept closed?]
you cant close off all intake air holes... if you did ...you couldent take a hit...
I normally layer the.. FINER.. mesh [ss 316 mesh ] on top of the standard pipe screen on bottom because it holds and lockes the product in place nicely...
you dont have to cut the fine mesh corners..you can just bend the tips of the corners over to fit on top of the thicker base screen in tubbing..
The layers of finer mesh hold the product fused into it.. untill you are ready to use it..
[the finer layers of mesh prevent drip down and lock product into screen....
This is nice and convient!... after breifly melting product onto the fine screen... the product stays in place even if your outdoors on a windy day...
Have you noticed the quality difference of convection vapor.. compaired to conduction...
to me convection seems ..lighter ...cleaner...usually never burns..depending on dosage...
The come up is serious even at 15mgs!... atleast at the lower dosages.. it seems to comes on like a gentle summer breese...
I still havent tryed 25 or 30mgs of convection yet... because the 12 to 15 mg experiance is quite nice...i imagine 20 to thirty mgs of convection vapor...[held in long enough]...might be a breakthrough for many!
UPDATE! .... :thumb_up: 12/9/2022...was trying to use a different type of home made wire coil but it had performance problems ..[uneven heat]..
So i went back to....WOTOFO ..18.ohm [mesh coil] .. 45 to 65 watt power range..and i even lowered the wattage to ...[my record low setting].. ..[of only 40 watts]...pressed the fire button and counted to three... then took a slow hit...and a thick tastless vapor filled my bubbler!
And effects were surprisingly strong!
[[WOTOFO mesh coils.. rated up to 80 watts are also available..]]
These WOTOFO mesh coils kick butt!!... so far they are the best choice for this convection EMESH!
[With WOTOfO MESH COILS..AVOID BENDING COIL [MAKING SHARP CREASES IN MESH!] ... this can shorten the life of the mesh coils! When installing coil gentle bends ok ..But no sharp creases!
This system.. ..may posibly? .. work ok with dry herbs?... if set up right...
pictured below ... show 10 packs of mesh coils...
recent test...!...smooth ..clean.. unburnt.. convection vapor!... using a lower setting of only 40 watts! .. with these mesh coils...it may work with a little lower wattage?

adjusting the product chamber...
In ...[photos .. 1 and 3]].below....the chamber is pushed up too far from heating coil...more than 1/4 inch..
Adjust the screen chamber a little closer to the heating mesh..[i set mine about in the middle of 1/4 inch and my [convection vaper].. became lighter tastless [like breathing air]... but very effective ..
If chamber is too close to heating coil it will still vaporize... but... [even hot air can get a little too hot for the molecule.. being too close can cause a bitter taste in vapor..
so just [fine adjust] ..the distance between the heating mesh and chamber untill you find the sweet spot for true convection vapor...[the adjusting will be done in fine increments..within a 1/4 inch space above the heating mesh..
[i think there is a spot.. [ chamber spacing] .. where the convection vapor is much more user friendly and gentle plus very efective...
Ive found..when this adjustment is found... the vapor is more like fresh air.. almost no taste..but effective..
use a pen to slide the chamber up or down in the copper tubbing to adjust spacing..very easy..
[[the bottom two pictures shows how easy you can adjust the screen chamber to any distance in copper tubbing....]]
[in second photo below.... the chamber is set a bit too high above the heat mesh...its at a little more than 1/4 inch above the heat mesh...]
for my pipe...I adjusted it to ...[one half of that distance]... above the heating mesh..and got better quality convection vapor...
Note!
[always hit fire button a couple times and..[pre melt]...and lock product into.......
[chamber screens]...[or stainless wet pad]..... before taking hit...this avoids pulling raw product into mouth or bubbler! ... I mentioned this in earlyer posts..
if using solid material like ..seeds...leaf.. or stems...use moulded screen cap..[or bubbler].. to trap particles]... when taking hit.... [talked about in earlier posts above]
update.[12/22/2022.....![just discovered a bit more space above heater mesh should produce cleaner vapor!
...........FORGET THE 1/4 inch spacing rule!! [talked about in above posts!]... just discovered a bit more spacing produces cleaner tastless vapor..!!:thumb_up: :thumb_up: :thumb_up: :thumb_up: :thumb_up: :thumb_up: :thumb_up: :thumb_up: :thumb_up: :thumb_up: :thumb_up:
