Understanding the "Bickel Tickle"
When it comes to premium vaporizers, Storz & Bickel is the gold standard. Known for their high-quality construction and exceptional performance, their products have earned a stellar reputation in the vaping community. There is one negative associated with Storz & Bickel vaporizers: the "Bickel Tickle."
The Bickel Tickle is the scratchy sensation that many users feel at the back of their throat when inhaling vapor from Storz & Bickel devices. This is obviously an uncomfortable feeling, but thankfully there’s an easy solution: Magma Industries.
The Science Behind the Sensation
To understand the Bickel Tickle, we need to delve into the mechanics of vaporization. Storz & Bickel vaporizers, like the Volcano, are celebrated for their efficiency and purity. The vapor they produce is hot, and the balloons that come with Volcano vaporizers don’t do a great job of reducing the temperature by the time that vapor hits the back of your throat. This, along with the harshness of the plants themselves, result in a cough.
Several factors contribute to this phenomenon:
High Vapor Temperature: Vapor from stock Storz & Bickel units can be quite hot, especially at higher temperature settings. This heat can dry out and irritate the delicate tissues in the throat, leading to that scratchy sensation.
Dry Vapor: Unlike smoke, which contains a fair amount of moisture, vapor can be quite dry. The lack of moisture can exacerbate throat irritation.
Particulate Matter: Even though Storz & Bickel vaporizers are designed to deliver clean vapor, small particulates from the vaping material can still make their way into the vapor stream. These particulates can scratch the throat and contribute to the tickling sensation.
Solutions for a Smoother Experience
Fortunately, there are ways to reduce or even eliminate the Bickel Tickle, ensuring a more comfortable and enjoyable vaping session. Here are some tips:
Lower the Temperature: Reducing the temperature setting on your vaporizer can help cool the vapor and reduce throat irritation. While this can help reduce the tickle, it also means you aren’t getting the full effect out of your machine.
Use a percolation device: Attaching a water filtration device or water pipe, such as Magma Industries’ Obsidian water pipe, adds additional travel time and cooling properties to reduce the temperature of your hits and increase the humidity. The end result is a smoother hit that doesn’t make you cough!
Regular Maintenance: Clean your vaporizer regularly to prevent the buildup of residues that can contribute to throat irritation. Pay special attention to components like the screen and mouthpiece.
