Sinking Srilankan - From Habzoud
Sinking Kalimantan - From Russian Adam, when he came here last time.
All on low heat, feels like I got high after it.

Borneo chips (the batch recently posted for sale here by ouddict). Sweet and salty, resinous and dry at times. Reminds me of some baieido Indonesian Jinko granules I bought years ago. A little too much funk for me at the tail-end of the aroma, leaves me feeling like I have to burn a little incense to clear the lingering scent.
heating on the subitism on a clear sheet of mica. Speaking of which... kyarazen once wrote about the advantage of mica as a surface. Using the clear sheets instead of something like aluminum foil I believe has potential advantages in terms of heating wood chips and resins evenly and thoroughly. Thermal energy can be transferred in three ways: conduction, convection and radiation. Remember earth science in middle school? When you use aluminum foil, transfer is primarily by conduction or direct contact, so the parts of the wood that are heated most are the little bits that are actually physically in contact with the aluminum foil. Thermal energy then has to conduct in through the wood so the wood surface is heated unevenly. As the wood’s resins and essential oils boil off, it becomes a weaker conductor, the contact surface chars, and parts of the word never get heated up at all.If you have a clear sheet of mica, all of the infrared radiation being produced by the glowing filament is able to pass through and heat the wood directly. When that radiation is absorbed by the surface of the wood, it is converted into thermal energy in theory heating the entire surface evenly.
I haven’t personally done side-by-side comparisons, and I wonder how much difference it makes if any?

Here’s something related from a baking site:
Three modes of heat transfer are used for baking biscuits: radiation, conduction and convection. The most important isinfrared radiation, which has the following advantages:
Penetrative heat transfer: Infrared radiation penetrates biscuit doughs by approximately 4mm, (depending on wavelength and moisture content). it is the only heat transfer mode to truly bake the product from the centre. This is the key advantage of baking by infrared radiation.
Biscuit structure: because infrared radiation penetrates the dough pieces, it is essential to achieving good structure with optimum volume and texture and is always the main mode of heat transfer in the first part of the baking process.
Even moisture content: baking with infrared radiation ensures a low moisture content from the centre to the outside surface of the biscuit. It is the best heat transfer mode to avoid “checking”, (cracks appearing in the biscuit after baking)
Efficiency: heating of the surrounding air in the baking chamber is not necessary, this lowers energy consumption

Low heat Tarakan with a side of Kinam. Nice way to mellow into a Sunday evening.

Agreed 100%. It's unique too! Totally different aroma than any of the other fili woods I've tried. I will say tho that the azman fili wood I've tried is fantastic as well - equally as clean and clear.
Tried some Shoyeido square charcoals today. I keep doing this thinking I'm going to like burning wood this way. I go into it wanting to enjoy it but even with these high end Japanese coals, I still smell the coals before I even put the wood on. And no matter how long I wait, unless I use a mica plate with the coal, it ends up smelling all burnt. When it first goes on it smells nice but eventually it smells like burning wood and charcoal. It doesn't leave the room smelling as nice either. Worried my neighbors are gunna be pissed off. With the subitism even on the highest setting, it never gets any real off notes (at least none that come close to as bad as with coal). With the subitism, there is literally zero reason I can see for needing coal except for ceremony.

On to some Brunei that is literally blowing oil bubbles at me..wow!

Have you found high grade/quality Brunei available recently?

Aside from EO's Brunei Kinam, not a lot. I haven't seen the wood I was heating available for quite a while. I really like Tony Bolton's Sinking Borneo. I'm sure fellow members here are a lot more in the know than I!

For Brunei, you may have some luck with azmanoud. He seems to have quite a side stock of rarer and less common woods. Right now I know most of his stock is fili woods - but I've asked in the past about sinking grades from other regions and he's sent me various stock lists and prices. You'll prob pay 30 and up a gram though for woods that are more of a vendor head stash.
PS. I'd love to see the Tony Bolton sinking Borneo pics if you have any. I know it sells for 30 a gram so I'm curious what it looks like.
@Habz786 - you truly spoil us. For 20 a gram with you, we are getting these epic 5+ gram stones of wood that smell awesome. 20 bucks a gram anywhere else doesn't even come close to the same quality/price ratio. I can't justify spending much more anyway - I always have to ask myself, is that 60/gram wood going to smell 3x better? Maybe but it will certainly go over my head! Would rather score 3x as much wood 🙂

Hey Andrew - I'll post some photos tomorrow, my collection is upstairs with the sleeping kids. Hopefully the pics do the wood justice, as it's pretty nice IMO. I think I have 5 or so grams at the moment. Nice density and Borneo aroma. Habz Fili is awesome! I'm already saving up for some of JK's snake and LMK's Kyara, but that new piece posted is almost tooo nice to pass up!
