Does lead vapor smell? Anyway i left it on for an entire night with full insulation, more like i forgot it lol, and it wasn't damaged. I'm pretty sure i could have cooked breakfast with it the following morning.
It was indeed snugged in but just a little, maybe 5 mm. I still feel like wrapping it though. Even with no insulation, covering the lower holes makes air run through a longer pathway and pre-heat when it passes between the alu cage and the outide of the glass tube, from the top to the entrance...
I had a problem with my V not reaching adequate T's, so i wrapped it in oven paper and thick tissue, and now it runs much hotter, to the point of burning the herbs if wanted. It's fully insulated and the air path is longer.
Tested an entire night on hasn't damaged it.
Has anybody done this...
