Anyone have one of these yet?

Thanks!

Glad I asked before trying it. Where did you find a good price for rubies? I got a bag from @VGOODIEZ but he’s out at the moment.

Have you applied an enail to this concept yet? Like maybe if There were rubies/glass up the neck to transfer heat down to the joint. What is the OD of the joint stem? Would 12--16mm barrel coil fit?

Yup. I don’t need a torch/IH for my VapCap outside.

Here’s the current version my tinkering. This is a piece from a different experiment repurposed. The piece is boro rather than quartz. I have a smojo screen at the top which works quite well. The tension just has to be adjusted to stay put. And finally, the dimple holds the rubies in place still...

this is about where I ended up also playing around with parts. I‘m using the elev8r bowl with an adapter to fit a 14mm gong. The length of my gong is about 2.5 to 3 inches. Extracts probably the same as your experiments.

I think most of us tinkering around with this have run into the same-ish designs. I’ve yet to work with frit. in fact it’s been a couple of years since I’ve been at the torch. I have a “hobby” area in the garage where I was set up. But that has been replaced with a three vessel brewing machine...

this help? https://www.mountainglass.com/glassblowing-kits/other-products/quartz/tube-rod-joints

Lol, yeah, well … been through hell for a few years. But happy to be around now.

Funny I have the same sketch around somewhere but really thought nothing of it. Seeing your concept has been jogging my memory. I’m getting some quartz tips that I’d like to apply this to. Hope you don’t mind a co-tinkerer.

What do you think about using a 14mm quartz nectar straw Instead of the long stem? And of course something to tweeze the hot quartz off.

Hey all. I'm still here. Just going through a rough time in my life. I'll bounce back soon enough.

Thank you so much for your user experience review and mods. And the photo really helps. @VAPEHUNTER is sending the S3 up my way again with the thermometer working so now I will be able to test new modifications. I do have to apologize that I'm loving time off the grid way too much and haven't...

Aw geez ... jumping around the forum too much and too much on my mind. Lol! Dang I need to chill for a moment. :mental:
