I never forgot your recommendation @natural farmer and you was right
the Eraserair works very, very nice. Can become quite hot in a tight session if compared with the long one I was using but the extraction is a lot simpler. Loving it... and loving the Eraser again. Not my anytime partner now, but always a really good lover.

What a beauty! I love cork instead of silicone for this application!!!I never forgot your recommendation @natural farmer and you was right

Hi Folks, yesterday I removed my Project from my Evic mini to use another atty and when I screwed the Project back it does not read anymore the same resistance, not a huge difference since it was 0.61 and now 0.57 but difference in performances are crazy: no glow (even faint) at 600°F using 135 TCR and 25W (previously it was working very well at 470°F).
Did I to increase the TCR to match the new resistance... I will be pleased to get some explanations..., please?

Lol no, kapton/polyimide tape stinks! It's the bane of most Chinese vapes and why we need to do so many burn-offs!
The OG project has a wood sleeve around the SS tube. There's a small air gap and the sleeve is held by the bottom o-ring inside the sleeve.
I had no problem using cork in direct contact with the SS tube. @ander could comment also. I don't know how @phattpiggie's experience ended but I think he's also having direct contact with wood without air insulation.
I'd say give it a try without. At worse it will dry and maybe char the wood slightly but as long as it's not in the air/vapor path...

Thanks for the thorough response. Thats the reason I didn't use the kapton tape in the first place, but I wanted to make sure.Lol no, kapton/polyimide tape stinks! It's the bane of most Chinese vapes and why we need to do so many burn-offs!

This is for a phatpiggie body that I got today. He said there is a small gap that might need filling. It has worked alright without anything, so it might not need anything at all. I will try to get around to putting up pics soon, everything looks amazing!
@fluffhead so glad it arrived. The tape was used more as an indicator as to where I thought it would need sealing.
Not able to use it I was unsure so looked at any possible down falls.
@KeroZen it's in some expensive Canadian and US devices as well.
I never tasted it on my Inh05.
I did recommend fluffhead get some heat into it and see how it was.
Having stripped out my Homegrown Log internals a few times I can safely say there would be a minimal, if any, scorching from the SS.
My log was on for hours at a time and was fine.
My other concern is the wood changing shape, hence the screw to keep it all together.

I am happy to say that the tape (or any other seal) seems to be unnecessary to me. Everything is working perfectly and I am getting some amazing vapour with very nice even abv. Here are a couple of pics below that show how @phattpiggie created the stem and body to match perfectly. There is a condenser in the stem. I originally thought that the stem looked a bit like a finger with that knuckle on it, but now I think the whole thing together looks like a Harry Potter wand. As I believe I have stated before, @Pipes puts some magic in the projects for them to work as well.
I am extremely excited to be using the project again as I had stopped because I was unlucky enough to be one of the people who tastes the silicone from the eraser sleeve. Thankfully I can use the project again without any unwanted taste. The only downside to the wooden body is that glass air stems don't fit so I can't use those any more. Although, I am wondering if I could get a 14mm glass stem to seal. Anyway, I know the pics aren't great but they are there to appreciate pp's work. "Five inches, cocobolo, stainless steel core" - Magic!

Interesting build indeed. Can you please show it disassembled @Wreckanism ? Is the heater in glass capsule ?Hey WOW that's a very interesting build! So the herb bowl isn't in direct contact with cork here... About the last image: why the herb is inside the cork..? More details please..!
@ander I think it is still in the metal stem,the cork is just the cover of the stem ?

Was gonna try and make a wooden outer to replace the glass on the shitfucker, but actually i think have a better idea.
What if you take the shitfucker as it is with all the glass and put a wooden sleve around it? You could epoxy the wood to the glass at the top by the lip.
This is exactly how the glass fits in the Milaana to enclose the heater. Would avoid burning hands and possible breakages. Also it would keep the 14mm female at the top avoiding sealing issues on previous wooden projects.
You would end up with something looking a lot like a splinter.
Do u think it would work?

I remember looking at the tf V8 Q4 hookah style coil thinking I could make a dry herb vape with it. I slid the cotton out of the shell and replaced it with SS mesh then went on to try and make and install a flat coil to support dry herb but that's where the production stopped as I couldn't make one where the positive and negative wouldn't touch and the build remain flat or something like that.. I feel the tf V8 would make a lovely dry herb vape with its adjustable airflow and so on.
