@OF I just got my Evic VTC mini from Eggitty, Hawaii to CA Priority mail, Sat -> Wed. First impression confirms that Joyetech has ALWAYS been first class. I got a white one and it's a beauty. It's more compact than my KangXin and I love its magnet battery compartment. The regulator on the Evic...

@OF I was measuring temp with a thermocouple and Big Yellow the Chinese 6802 meter. I was running it dry, no oil. Were you immersing yours in oil? My thermocouple wasn't wedged in, it was just resting against or under the donut, slipping. The controller hunts and the thermocouple moves: I'm not...

@Steven that's a gorgeous device, and the "button" is great as long as the actual switch inside holds up. What's the best source/price on one? @OF yes of course with the KangXin you set both "temp" and "watts" limit simultaneously, I've been howling about that for months before people "got it"...

For people who aren't up for an expensive experiment, the KangXin Mini VF is another mod that allows setting both a Temp and Wattage limit, uses one 18650, 50W max, similar chip type as the Invader Mini, and if you can be patient for a couple weeks for GearBest, the price is great, around twenny...

@Detonator I too come from the e-cig side with Nickel and then Titanium coils. Personally, I think the material is more in the Nickel family than Titanium. Yes, as the discussion went, the better TC devices now work in a dual limit mode: wattage and temp. And that's great, even though the temp...

Not everyone has the time or skills or whatever. For a light user buying grams from a dispensary is perfect. Being informed helps and that's exactly the issue. A lot to be said for the idealistic old style grower who honestly labels his product. We don't need more sources of deceit and confusion.

@Detonator If you're going to order from Fastech, may as well order those on e-bay and get them faster. @tharealmclovin My friend with his Cuboid has vaporized countless carts and devices in the mistaken belief that these sorts of macho wattage ratings are there for a reason. A possible plus...

Personally I think we're witnessing a catastrophe in the making. Garbage stem and trim extraction can be flavored to taste like primo concentrate, claiming to be from whatever premium strain happens to sell at the moment. "Tastes Amazing, Enhance or Mask your Existing Flavor, Your Choice –"

Does the area where the glue sits get very hot in normal use? Can you tell (or guess) what kind of glue it is?

These little glass disks are around a mm thick, they list on e-bay as "honeycomb screen". I've used them with other heaters. Small amounts of oil stick to the glass long enough to be fully vaporized. Am I overly paranoid to even consider something like this? Is it that with the donuts the oil...

@vezj420 you don't want to use stone age eGo or VV/VW technology on these lovelies! You need a temperature controlled mod that can run well at low wattage and with power to spare, preferably one that can set both a temp and a wattage ceiling, like the Joyetech evic mini. Those even have...

If you have or had a Norelco/Philips shaver, you might have the perfect soft case for the Solo. In this model's case there's a separate space for a couple of stems and a little grinder/container where the shaver's charger went.

Can anyone provide links for these small black (and white) Chinese units? Thanks. @Haywood, cheers!

@OF, I agree. I only asked if you tried placing the hot object directly in the orifice of an IR gun, because of the laser pointer alignment problem you had mentioned. You tried, ok; it worked better for me. I wasn't attacking you. I didn't realize who I was dealing with.

@OF, of course there's emissivity. It's adjustable on a decent IR gun. In fact, since the true emissivity of the "target" is unknown, adjusting the emissivity settings on the gun is a way to calibrate against say a thermocouple. Then we're on to how accurate the thermocouple is. So I'm not too...

I been 'way and see you guys are cookin' here! @OF Did you try just using an IR gun and sticking the atty in the mouth? Mine is a simple unit like they use for heating/cooling and the laser of course shoots high, inappropriate for short range. But I can usually get some usable readings just...

Just thought I'd throw this one up, I may have shown it before. The coil underneath is a spiral titanium "stovetop". The little disk in place of a wick is a glass "screen" from e-bay. They come is different sizes. Glass conducts heat well. If I wanted bigger hits, I'd stack more disks. Maybe...

I don't know your setup, but the first thing that comes to mind if the wick retains oil is that it's not getting enough heat transferred from the coil. Try a smaller diameter coil? Try more tightly packed loops? FWIW, it seems that most of us here are placing wax onto the coil, with the wick...

Speaking of donuts etc, has anyone seen the MigVapor SubHerb dry herb attachment? I wonder if it can work with temp control, if it can be used with oils, and if it really works with herb without burning it. They say "Avoid using temp control mod" as a feature, as an advantage I guess? Or do...

Guys? I remember seeing those titanium coiled atomizer heads, like for the Kangertech Mini Protank 2 and 3, and standalone eGo compatible KISS cups with ceramic wicks and various shapes of titanium coils? I realize these are all creations of the eGo-cretaceous period, but now with Temp Control...
