Vape Hash With Norddampf Relict: 5 Easy Steps for Clean Flavor

To vape hash with Norddampf Relict — or any conduction vaporizer — you need one key trick: never let the hash touch the oven walls. Hash isn’t full melt, but it will still melt when heated, and direct contact with the oven surface can ruin your device. Fordee solves this with cotton bacon: wrap your hash inside a piece of cotton, load it in, and the Relict does the rest. Best flavor hits at 410°F. Here’s exactly how to do it.

Why You Can’t Just Drop Hash in a Vaporizer

Mid-grade hash isn’t full melt, but it still liquefies under heat. In a conduction vaporizer like the Norddampf Relict, the oven walls heat up directly — meaning any hash touching those walls will melt into the device, potentially clogging the air path and ruining it. Norddampf sells concentrate pads for rosin and shatter, but those aren’t ideal for mid-grade hash. Cotton bacon is the better solution.

How to Vape Hash With Norddampf Relict: 5 Easy Steps

Step 1: Choose Your Carrier Material

You have three options for wrapping your hash before loading into the Relict:

• Cotton bacon — Fordee’s preferred method. It’s just cotton that looks like strips of bacon. Pull apart to create a center, wrap the hash inside, and load.
• Unbleached hemp fibers — Works the same way as cotton bacon. Cut to fit the 3g oven.
• Ground cannabis or CBD flower — Layer method: ground herb on the bottom, a pinch of hash in the center, another layer of herb on top. Works well if you want to combine.

Step 2: Wrap the Hash in Cotton Bacon

Cut a piece of cotton bacon sized to fit the Relict’s 3g oven. Pull it apart slightly to expose a center pocket. Take a small pinch of hash — don’t overload — and place it in the center. Wrap the cotton bacon around it so the hash is completely enclosed. The cotton acts as a barrier: if the hash melts under heat, it melts into the cotton rather than onto the oven walls.

Step 3: Load the Relict — Keep Hash Off the Walls

Twist open the Relict oven cap and place the cotton bacon + hash bundle inside. Make sure the cotton bacon is sitting flush and the hash isn’t making contact with the oven walls. This is the most important step when you vape hash with Norddampf Relict — any wall contact means potential residue buildup. Close the oven cap and you’re ready to heat.

Step 4: Set Temperature and Wait After Heating

Power on the Relict by pressing the button five times. Set your temperature — Fordee starts at 410°F for the best flavor. Because the Relict is a conduction vaporizer and the hash inside the cotton isn’t touching the oven walls, it needs extra time to heat up. When the device beeps at temperature, wait an additional 10–20 seconds before taking your first hit. This gives the oven time to actually heat the cotton and hash through.

Step 5: Restrict Airflow for Bigger Hits

The Relict’s air inlet is located on the lower body of the device. Cover roughly half of it with your finger while drawing — this restricts airflow, forces you to pull harder, and produces denser hits. Bump the temperature to 450°F or the 464°F max for visible vapor, though Fordee notes the flavor drops noticeably above 410°F. Experiment to find your balance of vapor production and taste.

Norddampf Relict Hash Temperature Guide

• 410°F — Best flavor, minimal visible vapor. Fordee’s preferred starting point.
• 450°F — More visible vapor, but flavor noticeably drops.
• 464°F (max) — Dense visible vapor, significantly less flavor. Best for final extraction.

Because the hash inside cotton isn’t in direct contact with the conduction oven, you need higher temps than you would for dry herb. Start at 410°F, wait 10–20 seconds after reaching temp, and work your way up through the session.
