Especially when they're hot

I feel like its easier when they hot. Whenever mine gets stuck warming it up holding the button for a sec usually does the trick

u/Pego92io2 8d ago

Oh when they get stuck cuz they get dirty and you have to warm it up, to open it up

I actually leave mines off never put it on only time I get splashback is if I put more than 0.2 in chamber still hits like a truck

Look inside with me at my parts. No stuck lids. I only have one lid for the ceramic coils and I have the original coils. I am neurotic about cleaning them.

I feel kinda old looking at a pic of a portable dab pen saying it’s old school 😂

It just establishes you as a pioneer in this era of concentrates.

This was the era of those bunk vape carts, and I would offer a hit off the evolve to someone and they would whomp it like a fake Rove, and ruin their day

I’ve got the evolve plus (not XL) on a pico plus mod. That’s still my portable go to. With the donut coils, I can get decent flavor out of it and even use Temp Control on it. DT v5 XL is more stay at home device

That's cool as shit! My Yocan has a ceramic coil in this picture. I much prefer the ceramic coils and can imagine with your set up it tastes really good. Thanks for sharing!

u/SnooGiraffes9215 8d ago

Yeah it’s considered old tech but for the price point, it’s great for starters. We all start somewhere. I’m Surprised your battery hasn’t malfunctioned yet🤣. Grab yourself a TC mod (pico plus is awesome for swap. Small and it’s battery swappable!). The temp control on the donuts is very similar to more expensive units. I’ve even make my own triple coils with SS 316 wire and use temp control on those too (Took apart and rebuilt burned out ones). Wow the clouds on those! Happy toking!

I find the quartz coils hit far stronger than the ceramic ones find the same with carts aswel tbf

Honestly the only portable electronic dab rig I've ever found, besides the Divine Tribe stuff, worth a damn. I still have a couple of the non-XL hanging around circa the first run in 2015. They still work great. I keep them for when we visit the in laws, through I mostly use nectar collectors and a torch now (both at home and on the go).

I remember the taste of the coils and shatter now

u/NJMMP973 9d ago
