tldr; trying to optimize getting most flavor out of blackburn. Looking for input from people familiar with this brand.

As a Nakhla peach enjoyer from the old days, I've been in search of a good peach flavor to replace it for many years now. Recently decided to give peach killer from blackburn a try. I never tried this brand before.

This flavor seems very promising. The scent of the tobacco out of the box was such a pleasant surprise, it's fucking amazing. It's definitely unique too. But whenever I smoke it, the flavor is very light and doesn't come through as strong as I'd like. Thoughts?

I tend to prefer denser packs and letting HMD touch tobacco when possible, but doesn't seem like a good idea with this tobacco. I only tried that once and it seemed heat sensitive. For now just sticking to cosmo + fluff ish pack, HMD not touching.

I want to experiment more with denser packs, but thought I'd ask around see how y'all like smoking blackburn. Cheers.

This is my first cosmo bowl. Was excited to see what the hype is about, especially since I've been mostly smoking dark leaf recently. Picked the "future predator" variant. Love the aesthetic too.

All sources I could find said they are made for use with HMDs. I saw few posts here about using it with lotus (1 or 3) that said they were a great fit.

Product descriptions in different sites say compatible with "standard HMDs".

Yet mine isn't.

It's just a teeny tiny bit smaller in diameter. Thus the HMD has the teeniest slightest wobble, but as a result it isn't secure. Basically it's very easy for the HMD to topple over with minimal force; like putting the lid on or off (Same thing for both lotus 1 and 3)

So did I just get really unlucky with a rare one that went past QC, or are these bowls a coinflip whether or not they will have good fit with HMDs cuz "they're hand made bro" ?
