I happen to have a sous vide but its still packed somewhere. So I got the wild idea that I could manage this with a microwave and a cup of hot water. Yeah. Doesn't work. I have no way to tell just how hot the water got in the microwave and I kept heating it to the point where it volatilized...
BTW I should have said, I don't know one way or the other if ALL Alphas have that crimp-hump - I know they use different heater cores from time to time. So ... another Alpha may not handle the standard Dynavap tips that well, and lacking the hump (as all my other UD heater cores do) Ed's...
OK Its been a bit over a month now with Ed's Thermal Expansion Tip and I am here to say ... it is working pretty well.
It fits into my Alpha just a wee bit tight because the heater core crimp has a more pronounced bulge (inwards) than either of the other 2 UDs I have (SC3 and the ACXL). So...
After looking at this issue a bit more I've figured out what is going on. If you fit the Thermal Expansion Tip from Ed's Woodscents when the tip is cold (doesn't seem to matter if the heater is hot or cool) it fits down in there easily.
But as it heats up the tip expands making the outer...
I've had the simrell tip from Ed's woodscents for awhile now and it is now my new favorite. Currently I have it installed on a bonger (you do have to push the metal liner tube down so it sticks out the bottom, or cut it off if you're only going to use that bonger with the Woodscents tip). I'm...
Ah, its a cap. I don't use the caps any more. I use my dynavap tips with various stems or bonger/stem combos and an Underdog ACXL log vape for the heat source. Best of both worlds as far as I'm concerned. With the Dynavap and the iWand I got a lot of flashover or else it took several draws to...
Why use isopropyl when you can use Everclear or cheap vodka even (I use Tuaca because I LIKE Tuaca). That stem reclaim is pretty awesome.
Assuming you've been keeping the ABV out of your stem. Is why I like superfine 100 mesh screens.
As for whether or not lemon water or citric acid will give...
Dude. No. Dehydrating milk doesn't turn some of it into fat. Dehydrated milk has exactly as much fat as it had before it was dehydrated.
Most readily available powdered milk is low fat - that means they removed much or most of the fat prior to dehydrating it.
Occasionally you can find full...
Smoke6.com has several GONGs for the Dynavap. They take forever to ship, are difficult to reach, and sometimes things arrive broken - but there are plenty of examples on there if nothing else. I do plan on giving them a try. Stuff is just uber cheap on there and people do (eventually) get...
OK so its not the ACXL either LOL!
Apparently this was a special batch of ACXL's that needs to run at 13 to 15v.
However my Tekpower variable voltage power supply appears to be running it fine at 12.7v. On my display at least.
I guess I crept up on that during the burn in but once I got it...
The Bonger bong adapter from Dynavap is only 1.75" long, and it has a metal airway so you get a clean path. Would that not work for you?
I have found the Dynavap tips to work extremely well with the ACXL. It works FAIRLY well with the Alpha or the SC3 if you use some silicon tubing to "seal"...
Dude I don't know what to tell you. Undoubtedly it WILL be helpful to others.
You don't need more than one power supply to run your UDs, as long as it provides the proper voltage and amperage. Nobody has to read the explanation unless they want to. That's what TL;DNR is for.
Frankly I can't...
