Yeah, the Ailanthus is looking up at me with big ol' puppy-dog eyes... begging me to bring it home.
It reminds me of the Chinese Sumac I foolishly let slip through my fingers. Will my regret never stop?
Great-looking refresh, UD and UDE. Hope it attracts some new followers to the charming little doghouse of the FC community.
Hiro, this may be a stupid question, but... did you already try another iso wash that does not involve wintergreen?
I suspect it will only be a day or two before that beauty is snatched up!

boil them??
boil them??
Have you or anyone tried this? Wouldn't the plastic melt? If not I'd much rather do this then use nasty chemicals or even alcohol.

sorry i have never tried.. but i figure since it can handle temps near 500f it can handle the boiling water temp at 200f.. i'm sure silicone is tough enough to be boiled.. only one way to find out though ha. sorry i can't say for sure but never done it.. but from what i understand about silicone it should be more than tough enough for that.

The stems are made of silicone and they already withstand temperatures higher than the boiling point of water when in use with the UD. Boiling water remains at 212F and doesn't really get "hotter" without using a pressure cooker. It seems logical that you should be able to boil the silicone stems without them melting. I have a stirrer made of silicone to handle stirring while cooking with hot oils without melting.
Crohnie nailed it, since the stems are high-temp silicone instead of plastic they can deal with temps way higher than boiling water so there should be no harm at all in boiling them. That being said I don't know that boiling will do the trick but you can certainly try it. Alternatively you can stick them in the dishwasher (silverware holder) and run them through a cycle and see if that helps, the heat/detergent/agitation seems good at getting them squeaky clean usually. Alternatively alternatively you could stick them in the oven and bake them at 300°F for a couple hours and try to bake the smell off.

I just finished boiling a couple stems, one thin and the other thick. They thick one had some abv in it was hoping it would just come off, it didn't but I was able to easier wipe it off. Neither smell any cleaner
But I only boiled them for about 10 minutes and they were pretty clean from 91% ISO from the beginning. Suppose the silicone smell won't go away anyway.

Luckily it's just a few dollars.

Just received my purpleheart twig that was sent in for repair. Amazing work as always Dave! Thanks for the extra goods as well. Much appreciated!!!! For those that are contemplating on whether to purchase an UD, don't hesitate to do so!!
To my fellow UD owners, what is ideal voltage setting (range) for VVPS?

No problem, happy to be of service.
Did you get the simple instruction sheet with the VVPS? It has some basic voltage recommendations on it but I'm sure other people will chime in and tell you what they like to use and how.

Holy crap! these new Dogs are looking awesome! when i was looking at the 'ghetto lineup' that Dave posted, i was like 'WOW these are getting better and better as i scroll down.' i have a feeling that a lot of the ones on the website got snatched up before i was able to get home from work today to take a look at them. these things always fly within the first 48hours. gotta say though, absolutely loving the White Ash Genie Lamp shape and the Puerto Rican Blue Mahoe is beautiful! great work again this time Dave and Amanda.

No sir, I did not. I'm sure it's all good though. I figured the pup owners of FC would be able to assist me. Also running a search on FC, gave me some insight.

If you're still looking, I remember that SlightlyMedicated had a few posts describing how he used his VVPS with his Underdog that I looked up when I was considering the VVPS. I didn't end up getting one or I would have chimed in...
Ooops.. sorry. If you want to shoot me an email I can send you the .pdf instructions easy enough.
Will be back in a bit with some other updates, first have to pack up the orders shipping out tomorrow.

Generally, i like to start at 12V and slowly work my way up in
