Thank you my friend. Everyone tells meThank you bro!
I usually start as low as possible for kyara, from 60C then I go gradually up to 160C or 180C. there is no right or wrong temperatures, it is all about the wood and at which temperature it sing.
Woah. And my A/C needs to be replaced.Prices have gone up just a little bit View attachment 47293
WTF!!?? I have one and I thought $400 AUD was bloody expensive. What's all that about? Why are they so expensive in the first place? I have a mate who pulled a broken one apart and there isn't much to them on the inside. Yet it seemss ALIexpress is the only place that sells them online? Somehow they have cornered the market on this particular one.Prices have gone up just a little bit View attachment 47293
This is a price you would only see in the United States, at least half of that is just the tax/tariff collected by our government from whoever buys it. It's lunacy!WTF!!??

@Habz786 sells some good sinking grade wood. Grab some oils from him while you're there.I am now burning a paper-thin agarwood I found on etsy with good ratings. It's called
Agarwood - Grade AAA
and it's sold by
ScentientArt
from Oregon. But it ships from Arizona in the USA. I think I paid $50 for 10 grams. I don't think it's AAA+ quality because it doesn't last. So far, I've had the best luck buying from Shoyeido and Oudimentary. If you know of any vendors that sell thick, really resinous woods for my new sub, drop me a line! With tariffs in effect/place, I can no longer source from Japan, where the Shoyeido and Yamadamatsu wood chips are much more affordable.
It's so thin I have to have it on thre lowest setting on my new sub, and it leaves the mica sticky. It's nice, but I like the more ressionous Imperial Chinese from Oudimentory.
I also bought some wood from noble aroma. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm going to search for them as soon as I click Post Review. See ya!

AlHindoud - Wild Sabah. Now that I can comfortably keep my veranda door closed as it's no longer hot I can get stuck into a bunch of these woods I've been collecting. Going through the samples first. This wild Sabah has a sweet dusty scent to it.
Are you able to buy from them Rakuten Japan?It’s a chunk of agarwood.
It says they don't ship outside their country.Are you able to buy from them Rakuten Japan?
I had a contact in Japan who bought it for me, then shipped it to me.Are you able to buy from them Rakuten Japan?
Sabah arguably one of the most beautiful Malaysians out there with a very consistent smell across different sources. Vietnam I find has a wide variety of scents depending on regions I prefer closer to Hainan, China to find a slightly sweet but very resinous scent.Today I study the comparaison of two wood.
1/ Sabah
2/ vietnam
It is incredible how the scent profile are different.
Sabah is very sweet with honey and orange peel when the vietnam is spicy with leather and some barn.
