    I understand that there wouldn't be wooden inserts with these, but there's a vid showing the Wand being used with a TA in PP's post on this page.

    The Screwball by Vapvana

    That's exactly what I was saying, different pid's with different uses and different advantages. If you think I've judged the workings of either wrongly, I'd be interested to know in what way. I've not had as much time or different types to play with as some people, so I can only analyse what...

    The Screwball by Vapvana

    I only know the CH (non-Auber) pid, and the Screwball's. But I can say the CH pid seems very responsive in terms of following the change of temperature. It looks like the display fairly accurately follows the actual temp at the thermocouple in close to real time, but I have no idea what sort of...

    Ethanol tincture potency?

    Cool! That's a real handy bit of kit for anyone into extracting with organic solvents, whatever the method (freezing, steeping, etc). And having the option to vacuum filter makes a big difference! (as I'm sure you've found! 🙂). There is a low powered vacuum pump that's especially good for the...

    Ethanol tincture potency?

    Thanks! The interest is purely academic, it's interesting to compare the techniques I learned working in a chem lab, with the modern consumer devices to do the same job without needing all the crap. So this thing is essentially a vacuum evaporator with a separate reservoir where the vapour...

    Ethanol tincture potency?

    Oh! I thought it was heating solvent and soaking the weed in it (prior to the buchner filtration and vacuum evaporation). I see, so it's essentially a heating/condensing unit? With a built in electric vacuum pump? To do a frozen trichome extraction?

    The Screwball by Vapvana

    🤣🤣🤣 Sorry, but I just realised I started the message with the phrase "don't quote me", and you've quoted me! I hope that was deliberate!!! 👍 I tried hooking the Screwball heater up to a CH pid I got with my B2, calibrated it (or whatever that option actually does) so it was set correctly for...

    I would guess that generally speaking, the Wand puts out a specific amount of power, or energy/heat whatever you want to call it regardless of the make up (the amount and distribution of suitable metals) of the heater within the IH coil. If the magnetic eddy currents from the IH's coil could...

    The Screwball by Vapvana

    Don't quote me but I believe the 25mm enail has twice the wattage of most 'normal' ball-vape enails. The temp is recorded in the coil itself (again like most b-v's), so is only really an indicator to let you dial in to the temps that work for you. Personally I found the controller whacks the...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Katching! I think you've 'clicked'! 🎉 You're saying all the sorts of things I was thinking as I began to understand the way these work with the far higher heat capacity and how it isn't just an on/off thing, like the dial-a-temp electronic vapes. There's a time factor that goes beyond the...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    If it helps any, I'm a bit of klutz when it comes to this sort of thing, most especially if I've little feedback on the thing. So I found it much harder using the flame than I have since getting an IH about 4 days back. Big difference for me, but from comments this isn't universal for everyone...

    I have to say, this looks like the centre spread from last months copy of "Rectal Reaming & Vapin' Monthly"! 😳

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    That makes a lot more sense! I was having problems working out how the bugger could detect the temp in a consistent way, especially with all the different adapters and types of vape, and it wasn't going to be something like IR, and what you say fits far better with the experience using it hot...

    Thanks! I often don't pick up on those sort of descriptors if it isn't literal? Not trying to be a pain! 🙂

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Interesting, thanks! I guess (not being bothered to google it right now) the rubies are higher capacity/lower conduction (relative to each other) compared to the glass. So maybe better for longer slower sessions from a single heat up, rather than shorter intense hits but with less time to finish...

    I'm probably being a General Disaster as usual, but are people saying these are out in the wild now? Available to order?

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Completely idle curiosity (well, definitely idle) - what is it that you find better with zirc? And what size are they? (to compare with the ruby)

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    If i had to guess, and remembering I'm not one hell of a lot more experienced than yourself, I'd start looking at how you've set up the stem. Maybe I was just a bit dumb, but couldn't find all the details on that, until I checked out the MH manual for the Revolve G2 on their site. If it's not...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Oh, I only was commenting from my VERY limited experience. Never even touched (torched? 😉) a DV until last year, and didn't really get on with it - too small, bad airflow, etc etc. I was only commenting from the difference I've noticed never having tried an IH before (hell, only had the 'pest...
