    M19 arrived yesterday. Thank George for the KarmaVap. Excellent fit and finish on both units, the M19 is a visual and tactile wonder. I am curious about the hairball at the bottom of the tube the KV arrived in. Packing material? Spider nest?

    Discontinued The Grasshopper

    The lifetime warranty gimmick HL used to jump-start the business seems to have a kind of reverse ponzi effect that ruins the enterprise over time. A LTW might work for a can opener simple device like Dynvap. Any complex electronic device involving extreme temperatures will have a limited life...

    I think this happens when you don't heat fiercely enough to vaporize the load. You wind up warming it up enough for the concentrate to liquify and run out of the coil or pad and collect somewhere else. I found it would run to the downstream end of the tip and seal off the passage between...

    It is easy to tease apart one of the concentrate pads. Turns out they are a knitted cuff. Find the end that unravels when you pull on it. Cut off about six feet, wipe it down with iso and roll your own concentrate pad any way you like. NO SHARDS.

    I can imagine a hockey game where Caleb zings your Blackwood stem into an unlikely place difficult to even see. If you don't find it sooner it will turn up when you move. Keep looking.

    I swapped all the caps around. The caps were really loose, no friction, slight tip and off they go. No shaking required just gravity. I have wondered if the caps were at the high end of their tolerance range and the tips at the very low end of theirs. Blueprinting a brand new engine required...

    I am encouraged now that the 420 shipment are working their way into the hands of users that QC reports are not popping up and so perhaps the experience i had with my orders, made prior to 420 was the outlier not the norm. Having the tools I was able to hone and polish the rough edges and...

    I now have photos - 3 .jpg about a Mb each and no idea how to accomplish posting to this forum. Any advice on how to do this or where to go to find out?

    I don't think a photo will show much at this point other than the deformation I made to get a cap that fits as well as the rest of mine which I have to add all worked well out of the box according to design and within tolerances. A good cap slides on and off with just enough friction to work...

    Sorry, newbie here, I didn't know that there were things we weren't supposed to discuss in this forum. Is that caps in particular or just QC in general? I apologize for bringing up sensitive subjects.

    And the point I am making is that for some reason there are caps out there that are beyond the tolerance that allow for the simple solution. I used pliers. The hacker got mad. Someone else lost theirs, it fell off.

    Sorry, these caps are not sightly bigger they are too big to correct with the squeeze method. You can do it but then they are not remotely round. It is not a solution in this case. The other six caps I have are all very good with slight variation as one would expect.

    Not a Zero possibility. You could have a bad batch due to any number of reasons tooling, material, operator error and so on. They will go out the door unless QC catches it. Myself, I have two of them and there are reports from others. I think that makes it a batch and easy to overlook since a...

    The fins dissipate the heat before it travels to the user end of the unit. More fins, more surface area more effect. With air cooled aircraft engines more/finer fins usually means more horsepower.

    Longtime lurker with an OG, nonavong, XLS and several Ms; I have signed on to FC to comment on the QC issues others have reported and I have experienced with recent orders made PRIOR to 4/20. Fit and finish on every item before the roll out of the 18M was near perfection. The substandard parts...
