I tried and couldn't find any pictures. Tried a few different terms and still nothing.

Is there anyone on here with a BAKx that would share pictures of the internals? Please DM me.

Can we get back to the device? Who here has one and likes it?

Ah. Even if the seals are rated for it, I think if you do that very often you'll degrade them. Those sound like silicone or another material. No surprise they leaked pigment with IPA exposure. Green hnbr or colored viton generally don't do this. Black viton has no dye.

How are you "testing" the orings in IPA? What %?Why? Viton is rated for it. You don't have to guess on this, there are charts all over. Glass is harder than Ti. The ti rubs off like cutlery in a ceramic bowl. I get the same thing in ground joints with a Shovelhead ti bowl.

We don't need to debate whether any FC users have a THC addiction, it's a certainty. I make no judgement either way on it. Notice my lack of detail in that. I'm not addressing that any further in this thread. PM if you want. When I see hyperbolic comments about minor issues, it's not hard to...

My take is that there are some addiction and anxiety issues tied into it. I don't like that some people vent those frustrations on others. If they get worked up over it, maybe it's time for some self reflection. People react as though a dialog isn't possible, instead of acting curious and...

Right? Like, where's the human empathy here? These are our bros! They're making stuff we wouldn't have dreamed of years ago. To do it all on likely a tiny budget is impressive. If it's a quality product, and the interactions are respectful, my patience is relatively unlimited. No point getting...

It's a convenient holder with a simple shape.

Using an insert could replace both metal screens and eliminate any metal from the vapor path. Sort of how they do it with the Matrix bowl.

Today I had an interesting idea. The only thing really different about the Qaroma Quartz head vs others with rubies, is the screen and housing material. They both heat the air with the same media. What if you took a CH Mercury head and had a quartz insert made? You could even seal the insert...

Take some strong thread and tie it to your wire with a fisherman knot at the very end. Tape over all the air holes. Get a piece of tubing and either stuck or blow the thread through. If you're rebuilding the old style coil, I'd say quit while you're ahead and get the new heater. Don't use the...

So far my self-built ATM has been great. Mainly got it for my Vapbong OAB, but it should do well with my Herborizer as well. I'll say that I'm usually running it a little lower voltage with it vs stock vapbong vvps. 9.2-9.7v has been awesome with the current vapbong cartridge heater. There was...

Has anyone hooked one of these up to a PID? Can I get a basic PID kit from CH, strip the wires back and mount a plug?

You guys might like this one too. No ignitor, so more reliable. Adjustment by knob as well. https://www.lacytools.ca/Orca-Butane-Torch-p/mp99ps.htm
