Good to see you back the electrician. Nice rigging of your Extreme v.3! Looks like you've repositioned the ceramic heating element so that it is to the right of the display (and horizontal)? You're not using the Extreme as a heat-wand anymore I suppose? Whip only, did you get rid of the fan? What was the stimulus and/or inspiration?
this boy has a vulture eye for extremes it would appear, that and or you have read posts of old. it has been used as a heat wand for as long as i can remember now, ran out of whip tubing a long time ago and getting hold of more i deemed too expensive to warrant. the fan was been crudely removed via no little personal violence to the machine, at the same time i removed much of the outer casing and then cast off the heat shielding cone. for some time it was the element, in its then unbroken glass shell, attached to the base by the white and blue wires you see; the unit proved unwieldy still and i set about removing the circuitry from it entirely. some time ago i found a miniature chest of drawers, removed one (retaining the other for storage purposes) and grafted the abomination into its current likeness, a small racecar.
to expand a little on its use as a heat wand, the bowl im using is a stock 14mm ehle, the screen sitting in the restriction between the tube and funnel. the seal isnt quite there but its acceptable. also works well mated with a 18mm male joint, but again there are slight seal issues.
in time i will try and film it in use
a word on glass, if you are interested in mobius models you can get hold of their bubblers smaller versions, the ion series, which may prove more desirable due to their smaller volume, at
kulture. shit seems to fly out of alt pretty quick. eitherway, if i had the scrilla id be all over one like a monster
would be to nix #4 (#3 sequentially 
) off that list...thats personal preference though. In terms of taste however, it seems that an extra chamber--another reservoir of water for the vapor to be passed though as well as more contact area with glass/water--tends to scrub some of the flavor out of the final hit. The nano has two chambers as well but the first is (generally used) dry.
Either way, both designs are clearly available in larger sizes if preferred. I like the bigger pieces for an occasional lung-buster but have come to prefer smaller volume for day-to-day use (lungs can still get busted when necessary 
). So much good glass out there 
. After taking into consideration what others on the forum said, as well my own thought's and findings, I made my glass purchase and it has arrived. I present the Mobius Ion Bubbler with the Reti Perc:
Luckily I'd been saving for something else that I found out wasn't going to work out today...so I invested in a 7mm Hoss piece.
