They have posted in the past, but not routinely. I would not count on it. PM is a better option? OF

For sure with all this CoVid darkness these days, such excellent news is all the more welcome indeed. Over here the church bells are ringing and the birds seem happier than normal? Regards to all. OF

Glad you like it, others must too as the price is WAY up. IIRC I paid about $3 for mine, glad I got spares although in several years hard use I've yet to kill one. That includes the one on the patio table, which is winter home to spiders when not being rained on...... Solid, easy to adjust...

While what you say is obviously true, I've been thinking how this relates the the VM. I think it might be unique or nearly so. With most vapes, which are 'machine made' and basically identical, the best we can hope for is ours will be as good as the others. That is not have a flaw of some...

This one's easy, "Godspeed"! Thanks for your continued efforts, because of them the little fellow gets a new lease on life and good folks that don't even know it will get their chance to enjoy it in the future. Best wishes for your continued success. OF Edit: "Viva Vapman!" OF

I guess I can understand his disappearing, probably thinks you'll demand the Edge back? Still, an interesting idea.......I wonder if it works with ex wives? Lots of guys I know would consider it cheap indeed. Thanks for sharing. OF

It can build up (of course.....) but it can be easily kept in control with classic pipe cleaners. To do a complete job, take the screen off and pull the cleaner from bottom to top after wrapping the bottom end a couple of times around a match or similar. Make a coil 'too big to fit' and then...

Quite well, actually. Provided you use 'concentrate screens' (or even cotton) to control the melting. Either home made ones, or (better still) the ones specifically made by VM for the job. You might try searching for that phrase rather than counting on our collective faulty memories to spell...

Thank you for that......although, generally speaking, this isn't really that kinda forum....... OF

I agree with the view that the mica shield of the classic adds a lot by keeping the wood from heating. And I also agree the original pear is hard to identify. The wood in the mid section is another 'wild card' in that it's exposed to the heated vapor/air in use. And the screen and even the...

Close enough I suspect. It's Melamine foam. Melamine is a 'standard' glue for woodworkers: https://www.wwhardware.com/supplies/adhesives-supplies/shop-melamine-glue The 'blow' it into foam and let it harden that way. It's somewhat flexible, but also very brittle, especially with the thin...

I agree with "vapor will never be hotter than the wall which heated it". Nothing (air, the stem, vape body, or vapor) can be hotter than the hottest part of the heating system. But, if "creating the temp increase measured in the herb's center" refers to the long discussion earlier in the...

Thanks, seems similar to the smaller vape adverts posted before? As I now understand it, the system was modified to add conduction heating to what was a straight up convection vape? It will take some more thought, but off hand I think it's still a convection vape with an attempt to keep the...

Thanks, Stu. So I got curious about Volcano which I've seen/used only once (and the owner wasn't in favor of me taking it apart for some reason....). So I went to Al Gore's web to try to find an example of this 'two heater' system. I found this peek inside: Looks like a single heater with...

Yep, I agree, if such heating of the air was a major factor you'd expect different construction (like lots of exposed metal to heat the air and channeling to control it) like you find with convection vapes? Yes, it's not streamlined in there, but turbulent flow is a relative thing. At the...

I don't think I've missed anything, but will consider it. Thanks. Do you have evidence of this "more than 300C" temperature? I sure didn't find it. I think you're a bit mistaken in how the oven is assembled. Please check out the seventh photo on the right side...

I'm with you (I think) right up to the hybrid devices part. I know of no such vapes (where useful vapor is produced by conduction and superheated air), do you? Conduction means that the load temperature will eventually reach the temperature of the oven body it's in. This is the hottest source...

I'm not aware of any, such systems end up being mighty complex what with heat losses, air flow rates and so on. All is not lost, however. You can measure the average current over time to maintain temperature, then measure again under typical airflows, again when holding temperature in...

So, cheap shots aside, you don't have any evidence to offer? Understood. This is a Forum, for the exchange of ideas? I've presented mine with the reasoning and citations to support them. I'm ready to defend my understanding with logic, established principles and examples (including proposed...

No, that's not what I said, did I? I said " is buried in a ceramic body isolated from the airpath", the ceramic body isolates the metal? You might see my instance it's conduction (and I suggest I've 'won over' most who objectively looked at this) as a 'personal deal' but I see it as actually...
