Frustrated with Da Buddha

1. A little bit of technique can solve this issue. Inhale as soon as you start placing the wand into the GonG connection. Keep inhaling until you have pulled the wand completely out and face it upright. I mild inconvenience, mostly due to having to teach it to anybody vaping with you, but it solves this issue. Just don't accidentally cough

2. changing the screens with the ssv and dbv - YouTube

That's how I learned to do it. It recently was also posted as the best answer in another forum, so I assume it's the consensus answer.

 

I have had ash puff up out of bowls from just moving the bong too much at times... Water sloshing up the stem (also when you stop taking a hit and water rushes back in) can push a little air up through the bowl.

Could be what is happening to you. Make sure the whip is not still connected when you stop your hit, try to keep the bong on a counter or something, and if that helps also look into getting like a shower head diffuser or something that wont let water rush back in...

 

For chron touching the heating element i found that happening to me as well the first few days i got my buddha. you just have to be very careful not to blow into the tube at all, like not even a tiny bit. I remember unleashing a sneeze of biblical proportions last night facing away from my hose and i guess an air wave hit it cuz a couple pieces smoked up. even if that happens though, take your hit and you can inhale whatever smoke it produces normally

 

[quote name='"Sinnerman"']I really love this vaporizer, but,

my weed keeps falling into the heating element. I tried to put a little weed, a lot of weed, pack it tightly, pack it lightly, it just keeps happening over and over again. It is really frustrating the hell out of me at this point. It's especially prevalent when I'm using a bong with my buddha because I think the bong moves the whip around a bit which causes the weed to untangle and then slide into the heating element.

Also, do any of you guys have tips on how to properly replace the screen. I spent an hour trying to replace it yesterday and it is still not perfect. It seems that the screen no longer 'locks' into the glass, it's just a loose connection.

Don't overpack it. 1/4 of the way to 1/3 should suffice.

Dont pack tightly.

Honesty I don't see why people have a hard time changing the screen. Just bend it a little so it is concave then slowly push it in with the back of the wand.
