Burn of the Day

[mobyus]

Fawn Horn - Vietnamese Oud Platelets

I’m burning this piece on the sub. I usually burn the bigger pieces on coal. But this is a better experience and more bang for buck. It’s sweet, resinous, and aromatic with notes of Smokey spice and vanilla.

Kalimantan bead scraps on the Subitism heater I just got in from Miki.

Im getting strong purple notes on this, which is wild considering all the other times I heated this on a different heater it just smelled a bit dusty.

I’m ordering that heater from Miki at the end of the month hopefully. Any feedback on ease-of-use/shortcomings?

I didn't realise she sold any wood other than CK? It's been a good while since I have messaged her. Does she have much of a range?

Wood isn’t from her, it’s from a guy on Etsy. Sorry for the confusion.

I like it a lot but any subitism will yield pretty similar results.

I like mine a lot as well, mostly for the aesthetics. It has the voltage adapter positioned inside the unit which is really nice. The dial is marked with temperatures, but I don't pay too much attention to it. I've learned to just trust my nose and set it by smell. Though I think it's likely in the ballpark. Hope that helps.

Oh I see. You got the sub from her not the chips. 😎

Hindi char - Oudique. Soft and woody. Vanilla. Getting a nice sparkle from the tiny bubbles.

It’s flawless

I wish I could post a video of this. The bubbling of the resin is unbelievable. It’s morning time and my wife doesn’t like Bakhoori on coals in the morning. So this is the work-around

It is amazing isn't it? AND it is going to even get better. In China they now have plantations where they are allowing the trees to grow older before and after the wounding process.

In Japan they are working on growing/cloning/nurturing Kyara call it what you will. Sometimes I ask myself the question, the constant flow of Kyara at Japanese auctions, where is it coming from? Considering it was a resource that for all practical purposes has been depleted from the wild jungle sources sometime ago. The ones at auctions mostly appear in these perfect shapes, a bit like those square watermelons that the Japanese cultivate.

I guess the end of oud theory has taken a full turn on its head.

It's about time! I'm looking forward to the point where I can afford to get a nice fully resinated chunk or slice, like a borderline decorative quality piece would be so sweet.

I love the earthy notes in this one

I'm still going on the piece of Hindi char from Oudique from yesterday. I've done a very slow warm up of the chip which I do now with all my chips. I often find day 2 is always better than the first time. I feel like the oils and resins within a chip have had an opportunity to become unlocked as it were and now a gentle heat will bring out stronger notes. I'm only at 15v. There is no bubbling or even a visable vapor but I'm getting a much stronger scent from it than I did yesterday. It's almost like a bit of CK. Just a bit woodier.

This stuff is awesome! Not a sharp pine smell… buttery.
Thanks for the recommendation

Fruity melon resin and oud❤️

Kua Myrrh - Apothecary's Garden. This stuff is wild. Up close you can pick up the recognisable earthiness of the myrrh but step away from the heater and the room is filled with a powder-y perfume. Very unique.

Kangiiten - Ambergris Souked Aloes. Really speechless with this granulated incense powder. Never have I had such a deep scent come from so little heat. Heavy resin notes come first and quickly but then it's like you've had your head dunked into the ocean. The ambergris is strong! Not funky or overwhelming though. This is such a novel idea. Somehow KZ has created a perfume within an incense. Really incredible.
