    Is Copper Suitable for Vaporizers?

    High purity copper, and also high purity aluminum, are excellent candidates for convection vaporizer heaters, particularly copper (e.g., used in the Vapman butane-heated vaporizer and, I recall, the aromatherapy attachment for the PD). Copper is inherently non-toxic (people have been drinking...

    Vapman

    Would a heat gun, rather than a butane torch, work with the Vapman? Has anyone tried this? I am interested in the Vapman, but just don't like the thought of having to use a butane torch. Heatgunstore.com has the MT-50 miniature heat gun, set to 500?F, for only $16 (plus shipping; see...

    What Heat Gun to Buy For DIY Vape

    If an unfamiliar heat gun claims RoHS certification, is being sold by an established U.S. stocking dealer and nothing bad shows up in a Google search, is that sufficient to trust the product in terms of basic safety (not being hazardous)?

    DIY Hakko + SSV Heater Cover

    Might it be possible to use a generic solid state AC line voltage regulator device, such as a simple less than $10 lighting dimmer switch usually rated at 600 watts, to lower the voltage being supplied to the soldering iron? As I understand it, these devices cut off an increasing portion or...

    What Heat Gun to Buy For DIY Vape

    Heatgunstore.com has some interesting products at seemingly good prices, including a new model with the desired features for $29.95. For example, see http://www.heatgunstore.com/Shop/Heat-Guns/Economy-Heat-Guns/-MA-3D-LED-Heat-Gun-by-Wattson-Enterprises/S4C24I244.aspx The $19.95 Mini Heat...

    Vapor Bat(VRIP TECH)

    The proper part number is 86710SA010. A '0' was left off the end. In looking around at a few sites, it seems to run less than $20. For example, see http://www.subarupartsoutlet.com/product_info.php?products_id=2701&osCsid=b0fff856badf9082f13d14f12871. Maybe, someone can tell us who has...

    Discontinued Magic Flight Launch Tube

    To me, it looks like what I recall the first crude experimental light bulbs looked like when visiting Thomas Edison's labs in NJ. Glass chambers holding wires or carbonized cotton threads or strips held between two copper electrode rods. With the Magic Flight seeming to be at the same street...

    Discontinued Magic Flight Launch Tube

    Hi everyone: As posters and even the developers are pointing out, this vaporizer has many issues and aspects that could already be improved. Maybe we should be considering it more as a "proof-of-principle" prototype, and first see if the reviewers even find the underlying basic design and...

    When you say "larger hits, due to the higher temperature of the convection," does larger refer to higher concentration, which is good and might be seen as increased vapor visibility, but perhaps with less total air drawn in due to higher resistance? For example, a question for those with a...

    From your perspective, inhaling is harder and slower (takes longer to get same amount of air). However, a smaller inlet hole and harder sucking will siginificantly increase the speed/velocity of the air moving through the material your vaping. I would presume this to be a good thing, in terms...

    Discontinued Purple-Days Vaporizer

    Regarding my comment, "I recognize that the PD is the current reference or gold standard among commercial convection vaporizers," keep in mind I was quoting from an E-mail I had sent to the Purple-Days business, not something meant for FC. But, I think my statement has a lot of truth. What...

    Discontinued Purple-Days Vaporizer

    Hello Purple-Days: The E-mail I sent you was sent to your business. This was a serious purchasing decision-related inquiry in which I explained my preference for vaporizers that run hot, and you advised me the PD was not suitable. For you to have disclosed my personal experience and...

    Portable Power Sources and Vaporizers

    Are advertised voltage adapter ratings accurate? Are the specifications reporting a minimum voltage (with the unit actually always providing more), the actual constant voltage under the rated load (amperage), or what? Using a digital mutimeter, I recently measured the voltage (no load; no...

    Discontinued Purple-Days Vaporizer

    For those with a PD having problems with stuff falling into the heater and burning, why not stuff your tip (or whatever the proper term is for the stuff-holding part) standing vertically in a conventional pipe? This is similar to stuffing the tip vertically in the bowl or stem of a bong (which...

    Discontinued Magic Flight Launch Tube

    You have the capability of using a stainless steel screen as a near-instantaneous vaporizing temperature-range heating element. This opens a number of possibilities! I can't help but presume it would be better (in many respects) to use 2 (or even more) heater screens, such as one above and...

    Discontinued Magic Flight Launch Tube

    Hi Magicflight: I think it's great that your firm is taking such an empirical, hard-core science and engineering-based approach to vaporizer design. We need more of that. Can you post or refer us to any relevant papers, presentations or patents regarding your unique approach to vaporization...

    Headaches when vaping

    Could be a sinus headache from simple irritation, particularly from lower terpenoids and other aromatics (non-cannabinoid essential oils; those with lower volatility) and/or chlorophyll (what makes plants green). Chlorophyll could be a problem if your stuff is simply too fresh, not fully cured...

    Discontinued Purple-Days Vaporizer

    See U.S. patent 4,141,369; and also 4,303,083. What's pictured in these patents looks to be much different than the more modern Eterra marketed by the inventor years later (about mid-1990s, when I probably got mine). For pictures (looks much like a PD), history and other information, see...

    Help (me make better threads)

    Actually, an electric iron would likely work OK or minimally, as conduction vaporizers go (which are nowhere as good as convection vaporizers). An iron's temperature control is probably about as good as many or most of those used in real vaporizers, and it provides a large flat hot metal...

    Is Copper Suitable for Vaporizers?

    Is there any reason not to use high-purity copper in vaporizers? Does use of copper adversely affects the taste or odor of vaporized herbal material? I am considering making for myself a desk-top, 120 volt (hot box-type) vaporizer using a high-end passive (no fan) computer CPU heat...
