@Drops, not entirely sure the gauge of the steel. I'm guessing it was around 30 or 40 gauge. I had it left over from some college welding courses years ago. I know the 20 gauge used for auto body repair was much too thick, the thin stuff, like what I used, could probably be found by searching...

Ha, I did actually take a few shots of the breakdown... The bottom is a real pain, and I lack a bunch of tools, but I started by trying to razor blade off the leather. I quickly realized that the leather was almost impossible to salvage so I gave up on that and started ripping and scraping...

I'm currently in the process of fixing my 3+ year old pd. I shimmed the larger piece of ss tubing that sits against the wood with a few strips of very thin steel, and then added the extra retaining rings. It seems to be holding strong. I've also found that the reseating tool is made out of a...

7th floor has always responded to my customer requests. They are good dudes. It might take a week, but at least they care IMO.

I've had issues with loose glass, but I've also replaced my heater cover more than once. Don't try to get it too snug or you will break the glass. You want a friction fit. I have extra shims but the shim it came with has been perfect with a little tweaking. It takes some trial and error if you...

I agree, the thickness of the cord might be a little more to deal with, and I'm sure it could have been made with a smaller diameter cord, but it is a benefit in my book. The heavy duty cord and the new cord restraint only increase the life of the vape (IMO). The biggest and pretty much only...

lwien, I read your last post about getting rid of a PD, and I had to double check it was you :-) My first vape after joining this forum was the PD and I've read sooo many of your post, so it's crazy, but I came to the same conclusion at one point. After I got the LSV I used my PD as an oil...

Definitely remember that bubbler... almost like a simple jagito bubbler. Very cool. Also, nice replacement box, and I second Quet. on the wood grain. It actually has more noticiable grain than my box, and the laser engraving actually appears to be more consistent, which was one aspect that led...

Good shit about the pain, and also the exotic boxes! I too am itching for a new box, and I think a limited edition run is just what I have been waiting for. Also, definitely a bummer when people spend all that time growing quality product and then rush on curing. I'm sure you already have a...

It might have already been mentioned, but I find that drying and curing makes a huge difference in vapor density. Once the grind has been mastered it really comes down to dryness, IMO. I like to leave my jar cracked for up to 12 hours after transfering (since most of that stuff is cured for...

Damn Boobs that glass has some crazy aeration! I need a bub like that. My showerahead bub just doesn't bubble anything close to yours. Killer vid. Makes me miss my LSV while I'm out with my dogs and miles away from an outlet.

I went ahead and checked my two WPAs as well. I came to the same conclusion as you guys . The 18.8 adapter appears to be only slightly larger, and I think this might just be an illusion because I checked my glass wand and it also appears to have a hole that is about the same diameter. If I had...

Thanks Frederick. You do bring up a good point. The weight of the glass knob compared to the plastic knob is quite different, so it is easier to bump the temp up or down when handling, so that's definitely something to keep in mind if your prone to doing this. However, the weight isn't enough to...

Thanks bOObs! I am quite pleased so far with both the function and the aesthetics, so I really hope they add some more premium knobs. Since 7th floor obviously checks this thread occasionally I would like to throw out an idea while we are on the customization topic. How about worked heater...

Pretty stoked on the LSV colors! Not sure I can really justify (more like afford) buying a 2nd LSV, especially since like bOObs said, "this thing is crazy solid", but I bet that black LSV is going to look ssooo awesome at night when that ceramic starts glowing! Can't wait to see some of these...
