    Thermal Accumulator by phattpiggie

    I'm assuming you mean the TA1 and 3? If it makes any difference, and the extra cost isn't an issue, I think the airflow is set semi-permanently, unlike say the Tempest. It's adjusted and screwed tight (if you'll pardon the expression! 😉). So you can leave it set on, say, nearly open (simulating...

    Well from the location side, unless you're on my side of the pond, I have the opposite 'view' of it I guess! 😂 I didn't really mean that was PP's reasons for the difference, but it made sense to me if it was. The flaw in my thought is that it doesn't matter a bit if they do have knurling...

    I think it's the TA3 & 4, the smoothies, made in UK, it's not clear where the knurled one's are made unless I missed something. I wondered whether the knurled one's were better for using a leather loop or similar as a cap remover, while the smoothies were more suited to a magnetic decapper (or...

    I have to admit to liking the smooth versions aesthetics over the knurled (given no other difference). The higher airflow, but with the option to step it down to almost closed seemed worth having for the extra cost. I guess having had the OG and got to know it so well, the choice isn't the...

    I think he said the two adjustables have slightly higher airflow possible than the none adjustable (TA1 I think). Correct on TA4, but still in production. TA1 has more airholes than the OG of course. And, if not spotted already, I also think he's made a variable bowl - not fixed sizes - half and...

    Ball vape with ss balls and induction heating

    Being new to this thread (thanks for the link @TigoleBitties ) I may have misunderstood the idea in discussion. But my thoughts on heating the balls in a ball-vape type heat capacitor, would be make the housing in Ti only to avoid any induction, then use a mixture of steel (or other IH usable...

    All delays are worth it, when they've finished! No delay is tolerable, while it's happening! 😁 They are very nice looking, I've a smooth adjustable on order (fnaar fnaar!), and am fascinated to find out how it plays. I wish I could also afford one of those beautiful stems he does, must be...

    Ew! I feel ill now! 🤢 I shouldn't'a followed that spewtube link! You did that deliberately, didn't you! Grrr! 🤣

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Phew! This ain't so easy without graphics! Ok, first off, I tend to focus on what's wrong and point that out (while trying to say why), so if I come across a bit shitty or arrogant or nitpicking whatever, that's just my poor comms! My brain tends to home in on logic breaks, so I sound really...

    I tell ya! those AI's, it won't be the Terminator that takes us all down in the end, it'll be endless playing of Steve and Eydie! Resistance is useless! (guess they're US? Not heard of them, but just looking at that cover is worrying enough! 😖)

    I'd suggest you feed both into some gawdforsaken AI to merge 'em together, than name it "Gimme Shelter from The Storm", publish it, then await the lawsuits! 🤣

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    I disagree about the 'infinite' resistance suggesting current still has to flow, think about it, where is it going to flow to? The current creates constantly changing magnetic field, that field when it interacts with a suitable conductive material (e.g. steel, copper), it tries to create a...

    I await with eager anticipation for you to do all the work, and then tell me it's a winner or not! 😁

    Now that sounds like a nice idea! I presume the wooden sleeve would remove the need for an extra shield/sleeve if using the Ti outer sleeve of the Rev?

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Electricity is not a subject I've studied (so this isn't gospel!), but I think calling it a flow is incorrect, at least in the sense that we understand an electric current in a circuit. This also may make calling it AC (or even DC for that matter) also incorrect, as that implies current flow...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Sorry, nothing set up to put images on, too much like work, I prefer to let my fingers rest on k/board and make like an infinite number of monkeys with an infinite number of typewriters, waiting for that msg to appear at random that makes sense (sorta)! But FWIW on mine the steel sleeve with...

    The Screwball by Vapvana

    Ah! I had wondered who makes that, as I couldn't find any manufacturer or serial or anything on it. I know it has more functions than we're told of (I found one, and quickly left it alone as it wasn't clear what it changed!!!! <gulp!>). Thanks! Ah, sorry, I misread your message and was totally...

    Ethanol tincture potency?

    Well for what it's worth, I worked about 8 years in a wet organic lab in a university, so got quite used to many of the standard techniques of doing extractions, and other preps as part of organic synthesis and suchlike. That said, this was back in the 80's, but interestingly it seems much of...
