Very cool stuff. I would love to be a fly on the wall while you and my brother talked martial arts! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Today the temps were about 20f with wind chill bringing it down to 10f in places. I rode with all my best cold gear save for my boots and rain pants which are...

I just purchased the FX model on eBay for $219 new. (Got $20 off with a promo) Time to up my game and stop the stink. Thanks for the nudge!

You know, I think I may be ready to get one of these. I may just have to get that FX model as well.

Raising the glass in my FTV GO IH has been exactly what I was looking for. At about 3.5-4mm it's almost impossible to overheat no matter what method I use, but I'm extracting everything on the coil. From cold - One really fast click, click back down, one full heat cycle = perfect dab. But it's...

Oh man, I pretty much joined FC to warn people about Source and the Alpine and the horrible experience I had. My friend used their original concentrate quartz cups etc, and we always thought they had pretty nice designs and good products. When I saw they made an IH I thought I could trust them...

Because they're absolute trash. Trying to disassociate themselves from all the bad reviews and reddit posts they've been rightfully buried under. It took me 6 months to get their Alpine when I pre-ordered and the heating indicator light inside died within a couple weeks. I sent it back for...

Thanks, yeah BJJ is truly one of the best forms of grappling/submission. "Never let a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu." :lol: If I were to go to a grappling/submission form I think Sambo or Catch Wrestling is more my style though. @MilesHigh my brother RE: Hobud "It's a good basis for a lot of...

A: Do not give your money to Source V. I went through what you're going through now @EpsomSalt but with them over the Alpine. I did not lose as much money as you have but it took 6 months to even partially resolve my issues. B: Seems like an attempt at an upgrade by the same people who made the...

Even if it did, from what I understand most home use ovens fluctuate +-25 degrees as they try to maintain temps. A digitally controlled convection oven is far more accurate. 14 grams broken into chunks, 25 minutes at 250 degrees in my convection oven. 1 hour in a large mason jar in the covered...

TAG response to my broken on arrival rig has been swift. Yesterday they said to pick another model because the seconds were sold out, and to send them a link. I sent them a link to first quality of the same model. Today they responded that they would need the difference in price, $9.45. They...

I just had one break on a perfectly good blue tooth speaker. It's a total waste now.

Hah ok I texted him about it, thanks. Late night in the 90's when I was a shiftless teen I would stay up late ripping bong hits watching Pride and K-1 kick boxing on MSG. Eventually also renting the first UFC VHS tapes from Blockbuster. I became a big fan of Ernesto Hoost, Mark Hunt, Bas...

Very cool! I have been kicking around (snicker) the idea of Muay Thai for myself. When my brother was 10 years old I showed him the 36 chambers of the Shaolin. He is now an instructor in multiple forms of striking and grappling and is a star pupil in Dan Inosantos school. He also enjoys...

2 hours to Prospect Park and back yesterday in the sub 20 degree conditions. My gear held up well, neoprene is a life saver. Not too windy, which helps a lot. Only chink the armor was my sneakers with double socks. Was starting to feel frostbite on my left big toe and toe next to it just as I...

Sorry, yes I did follow you on that earlier. As stated, the glass is essentially a cup so the cap is moving further away. You know, with this heater it seems a little less the case. The click is like only a half second to a second slower. In the first experiment at the highest extension of the...

Right but I was saying it doesn't seem to work as well for that as sliding the cup up and down. I can tell it's not heating the surface area as consistently. I think I remember some people mentioned using cork instead of silicone and even putting a small hole in the middle of the disc as well.

Yeah, the high position was just too wimpy. Didn't want to stick with it. ^Here, about 4mm is the sweet spot I think. The differences in oven depth seem to produce a result I had hoped the silicone discs would provide. I found the silicone discs to be kind of ineffective in this heater somehow.

This height would not trigger the IR sensor. One light push down, equal to a millimeter, maybe 2, and the heat started. Click does come faster which produces cooler temp through and through. More but wispier hits that were on average a little less acrid than hotter full depth cup results. This...

Sounds like you're-a combustin' a little bit there.

Yeah, that was my thought as well. Mhm, was $59 shipped. For this I can wait a little longer. ☯️ I've just had a truly awful week. One kick in the nads after another. I was hoping to dissolve those memories with my new rig today. But alas it was not meant to be. 💔
