Vapes Venty experiences

[Amac321]

Hi all, got a Venty for flower ,originally had pax plus, not good at all. Has anyone experience with the Venty , i have 0.1g dosing caps, 3 or 4 pulls lots of vape, after that bit burned taste and lung irritation. Temp was about 180c, I’m wondering expected hits/draws for that dose and also are the bongs on other discussions the way forward for the coolest vapour to reduce lung irritation. Any thoughts. Cheers.

Evening, I've never used one but 3 or 4 pulls sounds more than enough to finish off .1g maybe and is there a larger dosing capsule you could get so you wouldn't get to the burnt taste of the flower so soon as the mighty capsules are about.2g and it takes a lot more pulls to get to the end and I reckon it'd be a similar story with the venty .

Cheers , yea 3 or 4 is good then burnt , just getting used to it. Although going through the forums it appears the bong for home use may be an option in the future. Thanks

I don't have the Venty, but the Mighty+, but it's the same size heating chamber and dosing capsules and same max temp. They should only really differ in battery life and airflow design.

Those dosing capsules are more like 150-200 mg capsules rather than 100 mg I'd say, unless you're using them with the little capsule packers that take up some of the room. In my opinion 100 mg is too little for a dosing capsule - there capsule is too empty, too much airflow inside it, and a lot of the herb gets blown around and some gets sucked through the course screen. The end result is more mess, less vapour, less effective medicine imo. There seems to be a sweet-spot of flower density that means that the heat conducts through the flower evenly. Not enough flower and there's not enough contact to facilitate conduction, and too much flower and airflow is restricted.

Storz and Bickel's own studies show there's almost no point vapourising 50 mg or less because even with their most efficient device (volcano bags) you'll only be getting about 4-5 mg of THC in the blood stream which is going to be barely noticeable for a daily user. 100 mg is kinda close to that imo. So in short I recommend packing more into the capsule, at least 150 mg. The Mighty+ is only about 33% efficient, the Venty is probably similar or worse, so you'll be lucky if 100 mg of flower translates into 5-6 mg in the blood stream.

You shouldn't really get much lung irritation or "burning taste" at 180 degrees, so I'm finding that suspicious. If anything an underfilled chamber would lead to very little vapour production and not much taste in general. Usually you get the most amount of irritation with fresh flower at higher temperatures, not with flower that's already had a good few draws at a lower temperature. Could indicate a defective device, which would be concerning. Could also be the quality of the herb. Right now for example I'm finding that my day-time strain just lasts a lot longer in terms of # draws and quality of vapour than my night-time strain.

Generally yes, getting a nice glass piece for water cooling is going to be the most convenient/cheapest way to cool the vapour further for a smoother draw without upgrading to a different device like the Volcano where the bags/long whip are naturally cooler than most portable vapes.

Thankyou, yea the dosing caps are storz and Bickel 0.1g poor quality, I’ve ordered off eBay stainless steel dosing caps , larger possible.2g better airflow apparently. As you say I may just load the chamber and not use the dosing caps. Yea not sure about the burnt taste , possibly thought after 4 pulls at 180 flower was done with such a low amount of flower. Also little effect from dose if any.

I don't know if I'd say they were poor quality - it's more that they're manufactured as a disposable item. But fwiw, I reuse mine multiple times and stick them in an isopropyl bath every now and again and they come out as good as new. Sometimes one will get a little too bashed up and have to be retired, but I bought a couple of boxes of 40 of them and at that low rate of replacement they should last me for years. Plus yeah, worst case scenario, you run out and start loading directly into the chamber until you get more no big deal.

I'd be careful with aftermarket dosing capsules, if the tolerances are not just right then it could expand and get stuck in your heating chamber. I've had the normal caps get stuck too, but they can easily be sacrificed to get them out, I'd imagine a stainless steel one can't.

Also better airflow is a trade-off with less containment, and less containment means less conduction and more mess. You can also easily widen the holes of the original caps with a small screwdriver if airflow is your main issue. But personally I don't find that at all - but again I'm on the Mighty instead of the Venty.

Usually if the vapour is weak, you've underfilled, and if the draw is too difficult, you've overfilled. I find that 150 mg hits the goldilocks zone.
