Does Anyone Have Experience with Electronic Nectar Collectors? (sh.itjust.works)

Hello fellow tree enthusiasts, specifically my concentrate comrades,

Over the past decade, I've collected a number of different nectar collectors and similar implements. I have a number of Lookah Seahorse models, a titanium nail, and a few off-brand devices that serve more or less the same function.

I see that Yocan now has the DYNO, which looks like a seahorse clone w/ different bodywork. Perhaps it's Yocan's Mazda to Lookah's Ford? Does anyone have any experience with this device? Devices will eventually break and I'm always curious what else is out there.

If it makes a difference, the preference is for large dabs, huge clouds and cleaning is a frequent and burdensome task, so I would love to have a device that heats up well even when there's a little gunk inside.

I've only used two nectar collectors, both from the Nectar Collector brand. One analog, one electronic. Definitely preferred the analog for the reasons you're stating - the E rig just didn't get hot enough to take those big dabs.

Cleaning doesn't need to be a tedious task by any means, keep a bin of Q tips and ISO nearby to where you smoke and hit the tip with a bit after every hit. Quick ISO swab and then dry with the other end, the rest of the ISO gets evaporated when you heat it. Prefer titanium tips, as they're less likely to crack from being heated while damp. YMMV but this is how I've kept my dab rigs and nectar collectors clean for a while now

Have you tried a dynavap with induction heater for concentrates? The inspire wand induction Heatr comes with its own cups and bangers but dynavap is better in it

If you really want to take bigger dabs, a rig may be worth considering. In my experience nectar collectors are extremely inefficient. It's also hard to pack enough thermal mass in there to properly vaporize a large hit.

Using a tronian gammatron to fairly great success
