Storm Portable Road Test

[Bad de Grasse]

3 tokes on the middle setting(green/200) – 1 too many methinks. Will try the next one down Blue/190. Works well, fairly restricted draw, despite leaving out the metal housed screen & replacing it with a gauze. Nice weight to it, feels like Maglite.

Downsides: doesn’t take ordinary 18650 batteries, which are cheap as chips on the bay. Storm battery is flat both ends, it won’t screw closed with the snide one. Might try grinding down the + button on one & a drop of solder to see if it’ll fit.

Deffo need the packer/scraper tool or a matchstick for loading/unloading. Like the solids/oils bowl. Nice touch. And I wonder if you could win the argument at security if you stuck half a fag/cigar in it & blagged it as a baccy number? Might have to invest in a packa numbies. Decent bit of kit. Better than the MLFB imo.

PS. No need for the dremmel, found a 2 pack of 3000Ahm of the right shape online, from China, for £4.44

In China the number 4 is considered very unlucky If it's a scam, you gotta appreciate their sense of humour lol.

Looks a nice simple straight forward vape man. Whats the problem with the batteries, how many sessions would you get out of each one? And I like the idea of the solids thingy, I had one on a Davinci Ascent (since Brokedown) and I miss that with my Flowermate which is my daily ride.

Not sure how long the battery lasts, was fine for an evening sesh last night. But they are quite high discharge I think, so I want to have a couple of spares handy. Just object paying £12.50 each from the seller when I can get 2 for under a fiver off the bay. Ended up using it on the lowest setting & found the flavour lasted better. It's still a bit of a sipper, but not as much as the MFLB. I'm not hung up on thick plumes of vapour anyway. You can get a little bubbler attachment for it as well or a glass adapter mouthpiece for a bigger bong. Happy with it so far.

Yes they say 180c is a good start temperature which is where I kick off, you get all the high stuff and taste I reckon, then I switch it to 200c and I'm not sure what the top temperature is on my flowermate but the avb herb comes out looking pretty well cooked.
I've got 2 mflbs but haven't used them for a loooong time, maybe I'll have a go later.
I went on the vapes 8 or 9 years ago to give up tobacco, and all other combustibles to help my windedness, and of course it worked well .

Yeah good move man, haven't smoked baccy since I was 17. Always been a purist I'm also a bit wasteful with the weed, as soon as it loses any hint of green & tastes pop-corny I'm done. That's why I like Verdampers, you can see the state of the weed. That's my home kit usually, but means I have to get off the couch to vape LOL The Storm is well handy for my lazy arse.
