I'm tuned on a few posts. And I overcritized this once about halo deviations.
But please forgive me, this post is gold.
Deviations are the sweet entropy

Well, the problem with a halogen bulb for a heater was always, how to get most of the heat w/out bearing most of the light

Putting the bulb into a steel cover goes a long way there, to reduce the illumination to mere eye candy
That way, you can treat it like just another Log vape heater.

@TommyDee
Here's the ss tubing I use for the HC:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07CBNLWHX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I'm afraid I have no idea if they ship to your part of the world. Note that it's 10mm OD x 9mm ID so the ID may be too large for your purposes. Also note that 0.5mm wall thickness makes HC construction considerably more of a challenge that the 0.3 tubing. So unless you're sure that the 0.5mm is what you want you'd be better off following Bloke's reccommendation and sourcing the 0.3mm (or imperial equivalent, ofc).

Thank you @brainiac - I decided that the 12mm tube will suffice for now. It is light enough and heats up in 10 seconds. I may just make a 12mm VC for the bowl

https://www.amazon.com/CynKen-Stain...m+x+9mm+ss+tubing&qid=1575461993&sr=8-1-fkmr0 @TommyDee You will need this to go around the bulb with ss domed over it. This piece will protrude out enough to connect your 12mm VC. You can also put ss screen over the bulb inside the 12mm tube and hover the 12mm VC over the 12mm tube by taking outside air along with the heat coming from inside the 12mm ss tube. Worked for me.

Capillary tube; that's the key! Thanks @Vaporooni . I definitely need a bigger bowl than the VC but I can reduce the ID with split 12mm tubes to shim clearances for the VC. I am also still using the Scotch Bright pads. They work nicely to hold the bulb in place. Just don't short the lead wires.

Gorgeous work as ever @brainiac! Those rustics look like they fit in the hand perfectly!

Still loving my halo core @blokenoname , think I'm running mine at 11.2v and getting a very complete extraction!

Yep! The Halo core simply just rocks

11v and about 8w of output seem indeed the sweet spot, give/take a few fractions

I'll be using it even more now, I guess, as with the option of adding customized heater ports to the 11mm heater cover, I can now finally also use it with my favorite 5/16" (8mm) ss slide in tips
Missed that a bit, with the large heater port
The optional 'step' for the VC tips to rest on top the heater cover works also exceptional well
Though sliding the VC tips into the hc works well too, it's a bit tricky with the Ti tip and 2019 ss tip, as both spot more pronounced grooves at the surface and also the three tiny 'hooks' at the rim of the tip, for locking onto the WS hc. This made spinning the Ti tip within the heater port a bit tricky, as the tip got caught or stuck at times.
Having the VC tips now resting on the short 8mm step, solves this problem nicely.



In other news today... look, what the posty just brought
Big thanks again to @brainiac, for sending this beautiful rustic apple blank and a plum twig, to make a WonG from

Will make this my Xmas project and set in a really nice core

@blokenoname best of luck with your Xmas project . It'll be interesting to see what you do with the apple blank. All I've done to the exterior is to remove the bark. The plum WonG blank is totally au naturel - still has the bark on.

Indeed it does . The Rustic halo ash is pleasantly illuminating these cold, dark nights.



And the tip of the amber glass dd stem lights up with a reassuringly roseate glows on contact
with the HC .

Evening

While experimenting with the variable heater port options, sticking different sized tubing together, I noticed, that I probably could do 2-part, or as @Alan calls them 'slide-in-tips' again, when combining two consecutive diameter sizes of tubing with a different wall thickness, like setting a piece of 8mm OD tubing with 0.3mm wall into a piece of 9mm tubing with 0.5mm wall. This would result in a very snug fit and seals nearly air tight, which wouldn't work half as good, when using only pieces of the more malleable 0.3mm tubing, as that went out of shape pretty quick, so that the parts became loose.

The 'slide in tip' is basically just two pieces (front-and backend) of the 8mm (~5/16") ss tubing, I use to make the standard ss Log tips from, held together by a collar of thicker walled 9mm tubing.
A flat 8mm screen gets captured between front- and backend; frontend is removable, which allows for easy cleaning of the screen and through use of different length frontends, allow also for adjusting load size. Backend goes into the dd stem or WonG.
Very neat and clean solution

Now I need a hole punch for punching out 8mm screens
Just used two spare Vapcap screens here, which are conveniently of an ~8mm size, but also a bit on the costly side



Also reworked one of the earlier halo core mahogany-sapele units with the wider heater well, adding the 9mm heater port fitting for the 8mm/5/16" tips to its 11mm heater cover and added a reflector, made from the 0.1mm ss foil
The later isn't exactly a functional enhancement, but just for the eye candy!
Jut love, how the already warm glow of the bulb gets reflected and multiplied by the mirroring surface

Those two part slide in tips look highly versatile and the improved air seal is an added bonus . Is there any problem getting the screen to fit between the sections?
And I like the reflecting foil on the halo unit. Might as well put all that spare light to a good purpose .

Revamped Glass Core Misty.

Reverted back from the test tubes for heater covers to the 10mm OD boro glass straw, as the glass is thicker and more durable. As glass tolerances make a neat fit with 10mm ID glass tubes a gamble, I simply honed down the top end of the tube to 9mm outer diameter, to make it fit the 12mm/9mm OD/ID lab glass tubing, that all the other Mistys use.
Used a flat diamond file, then 80/120 and 400 grt sandpaper. Then flame polished.

Also made a glass dd cooling stem and a GonG for the Glass Core Misty.





Edit: Glass core Misty also has a new, more powerful 10w cartridge heater now, compensating for the lower conductivity of the thick glass.

@brainiac
Sreens will fit, as long as they're s/where close to 8mm +/- in diameter. No idea, if you can get them ready made, apart from the Vapcap screens. Guess, we've to punch them out ourselfs then

Do you need to wait til the neighbours are out ? .

A friend of mine suggested, a few weeks back, that rolling pins could be used for making log bodies.
Then, few days ago, he handed me a couple that he'd found in a charity shop. They didn't look very interesting, tbh, but thought I'd give the reddish one a go - and I'm glad I did.

Here's the log and donor rolling pin briefly reassembled for the picture.



A resistor build with the usual hybrid wiring. Coils on the solid wire for heat dissipation but note the absence of a screw .



Keeping with the charity shop theme, thought I'd use leather from this wallet I picked up for 50p.
I'll save the white horse logo for something else (apparently, it refers to a musical comedy that's very popular in the German speaking world, as Bloke informs me ).



Sadly, post-construction, I found a crack had appeared at the through hole - but I ran the unit for a good
24 hours after that and it didn't get any worse - so I closed up the base.



That raised bit at the top is where the handle began.
A bit of sanding, polishing and conditioning has brought the wood up very nicely.



Diameter on this one is 42.5mm but some rolling pins may be a little too thin.
Worth keeping an eye out for a good one - cheap and convenient material for log bodies .
And you get a log that'll roll small quantities of pastry - say, enough for a mince pie .

Another great idea! Wow!

Bloke! Love that lined halo core! Bet it has a lovely glow!

Evening

Updated my old resistor powered walnut Misty with a new halo core, as it hadn't seen so much use recently anyway

It is one of the units, that had the heater threaded in from the bottom, with the little 'mouse hole' for the right angle plug. As I needed the DC socket located at the side of the base section now, about 1.5cm of the base containing said 'mouse hole' had to go. So it's a bit of a shorty now, with only 8.5cm hight

It has the 9mm OD heater port, that accepts 5/16" ss tips and glass tubing, with an ID of 9 and 10mm. Also gave it a stout leather bottom this time, to compensate a bit for the loss in hight

Now me little walnut halo Misty rocks again

Awesome job! As already mentioned via PM, it has its very own proper rustic charm to it, like a well worn and beloved household item. I like that
Nothing fancy, just a sturdy looking, solid work horse! Just how a Log should be
Especially love that raised bit at the top, stemming from the handle

@all
Though the little cooling stem and 14mm GonG for the updated cherry glass core Misty were cool, I just thought it deserved some more robust and serious heavy duty glass ware
So I made it a Nano style long 5" dd stem of thick 12mm/9mm glass tubing and a fitting 18mm GonG. With its new fatter 10w cartridge heater, it really shines now with the glass roasting, milking your glass in second and leaving nice dark brown avb at around 11,5v/8w
A real little glass core 'Nano', we've got here, it seems
Works also with the Alan inspired combo sliding tubes, that doubles as 14/18mm GonG, of course.

Sunday is always a good day for experimenting with stems/roasting tubes

Bit rough yet, but we're getting there
Always wanted to do wooden stems with a glass tip
They're quite easy to do, as you can see... just takes a fike and an o-ring to fasten the tip. Now I just need a nicer wooden stem

The second roasting tube features a 9mm * 0.5mm steel socket, providing a snug fit and easy exchange of steel tips with a backend of 8mm OD.
Pic shiws (OD) 8mm (5/16") tip; 9mm tip; 10mm tip and a Vapcap 10mm tip.

Wooden handles from cheapo BBQ pokers make nice stems/roasting tubes

Morning folks!
Hope everyone surrived the Christmas feasting and consumerism onslaught?

Had to go easy on me neighbors over the holidays, so I just continued with stem/roasting tube design.

Made another wooden stem with the glass tip
Had bought a wooden stem body from Dreamwood recently (the guys who do the 'Glow'), which features an 8mm countersink, accepting Dreamwood's own 8mm butane glass roasting tip or a 8mm Vapcap tip backend.
Sat in a 2cm long piece of my 8mm ss tubing instead, featuring a notch at the frontend, that holds one of the tiny o-rings from a Vapcap tip backend (have to get me some o-rings of that size). Now we just slip over the backend of the glass tip (my standard glass tubing for the tips has an inner diameter of 9mm), which then is held in place confortably, by said VC o-ring

I think, this looks good! And when doing my own wooden stems, it'll be much quicker (and more precise) for me, to simply drill the 8mm countersink and to cut and notch the 8mm tubing, than filing down the wooden frontend of a stem precisly enough, to fit the glass tip's ID.

Oh man, nun bin ich infiziert

Ich habe noch nicht alles gelesen, aber Respekt !

Mit war bearbeitest du das Glas, um die löcher rein zumachen, oder kanten zu etschärfen ?

Welche heizmetode findest du am geeigneten ?

Hast du scschon eine Heizpatrone gefunden um den ti auf digital umzurüsten ?







Medizin check kommt bald :mein Tag:

Nice post . I ve been messing with similar concepts and diy coil "" resistors"" for some time and i must admit they work great. I think you have added too many beads. The idea is to cover only the coil,not the leads themselve ?

[QUOTE = "Abysmal Vapor, Beitrag: 1437620, Mitglied: 6543"] Schöner Beitrag . Ich habe mit ähnlichen Konzepten und DIY-Spule "" Widerstände "" für einige Zeit herumgespielt und ich muss zugeben, dass sie großartig funktionieren. Ich denke, Sie haben zu viele Perlen hinzugefügt. Die Idee ist, nur die Spule abzudecken, nicht die Ableitungen selbst? [/ QUOTE]

Hallo,
Der vape ist variabel.

Alles die ersten versuche! Die gut laufen.

Die Spule kann im Betrieb verstellt werden, hoch ,runter.
So kann ich ihn auch mit Kräuerkammer betreiben.

Alle für den Akku betrieb ausgelegt, eine Version auch direkt auf 510er befestigt.

Da ich nur 2 mm Kugeln habe, sieht das sehr viel aus, es entsteht aber auch sehr vviel oberfläche.

Videos kommen bald.

Gut hier viele ideen zu finden!

Modnote translation:

Hi there,
The vape is variable.
All the first try! They are going well.
The coil can be adjusted during operation, up, down.
So I can also operate it with a herb chamber.
All designed for battery operation, one version also attached directly to 510s.
Since I only have 2 mm balls, it looks a lot, but it also creates a lot of surface.
Videos are coming soon.
Good to find many ideas here!

Willcommen Duck.

Das ist genau richtig .

Ever find yourself short of a pick for the roasting tube tips ? Dropped that toothpick somewhere and
can't find it ? Here's a DIY solution:



Just a 14cm length of plum twig, sanded and conditioned. Left a little of the bark on at one end.
At the other I drilled a 3mm hole to take a short section of kebab skewer. That makes the point
replaceable. Bonus feature: being a Rustic it's not round enough to roll off your desktop .
The next version will have a tamper as well.
