Incense of the Day

Shin Kyara (Black Kynam) - Kangiiten

I’m getting same vanilla, cream, and honey notes I usually get from decent CK. Can’t tell much of a difference.

Can’t wait to try a plethora of other kinds of chips on this sub.

I have several bottles of these too...I tried a piece and got nothing but charred wood.

Yes, it burns much faster that way. Thinking of turning it down. Especially with the more delicate sample that came with the Kangiiten portable kit.

My steps for CK on the sub are...start at 10volts. This is purely for warming up both the sub and the chip. I let it sit like that for about 10mins. After that you can go to 12 or 13 and comfortably sit there for many hours/days. After that level has finished going up to 15 or 16 will push out some wonderful vanilla vapour. Final push is up to 18volts. You can easily get many, many days out of repeating these steps even with the same chip sometimes.

The black is one of the strongest. Follow my steps above.

aghh! what country are you in?

Canada, though I should have mentioned I usually use a small-ish chunk and throw it on the subitism, instead of powders

I will. I invested a lot in wood. So it will be nice to smell it.

Do you use the sub to burn it - maybe by breaking it up? Or is there another incense burner you use?

I just light inch and half of the incense stick using a regular lighter and I place it on one of those incense trays, like this one, then I smell them 30-50 cm away, this is my way, Enjoy!

just burned some Dream's of An-Nam and I get some muskiness on it like it and may have some musk in it but it has something in it musky that doesn't come off as musky wood.

Kangiiten - Cambodian/Laos soil coil. Nice to have something you can light up and let quietly burn away. Goes for a good 2+ hours.

I’ve just copied your post to my Notes on my phone in case I lose my place.

Kangiiten - Processed Mysore. Nothing fancy, just a beautiful way to start the day.

Kynam wood chips - Broadlink (Sample)

Just received my Subitism incensor!

Burned some kynam as a test run and getting that vanilla honey scent as always. Love the temp control on this. The portable kit from Kangiiten didn’t get hot enough for me.

Will be trying some Shin Kyara (black, green, and purple) from Kangiiten. I’m sure there are nuances.

Thanks to @OmbréAroma for the sub.

Looks Amazing!

I have the same one. Looks good, right? Wish I could afford the rosewood, hand-made one that a fellow ouddict is making. But we all have our debts and budgets.

The osmanthus in this stick is buttery-smooth and fruity on this very warm day.
Something very cooling about the osmanthus today, thirst quenching almost.

Prof Incense - Fusen Red Soil

This is amazing, smelling the sticks from the box they share this muddy organic red hue similar to NHU. Burning it still has that note but the woodiness is more pronounced.

I love Osmanthus flowers. I just used 15 grams of the absolute in a composition two weeks ago. I need to buy more now, haha.

But tonight, right before bed, I'm using Shoyeido's The Rapture, yet again. It's lovely.
