Here is a better pic of the wear. Thinking back, I do not believe that I have lubricated this area of the vise. I took it to work and tig welded the snot out of it, ground it down and brought it back to life. It's mild steel rod that I quenched when hot to make it harder. It should look...

3 decades and still testing. The only thing I would have done differently is vape from the start.

I have been using the Apollo daily since late February. I only use water at home and I have no need to cover air flow holes. Yes, I use a different restrictive stem than stock but only so I can run at a lower temp setting to improve efficiency while increasing cloud production. It is not...

I think I was at 35w @ 380f but it jumped into power mode when it glowed on me. Normally I can dry fire it in temp mode with no glow. But once it has glowed from power mode, something about the wire changes and it gets weaker and it glows in that area of the wire.

I had a lead wiggle loose i think and it jumped into power mode @ 35w. It's amazing how much this wire moves around on a large build like this.. After that, one end of the small coil would start glowing before it was up to temp. :( I already tore it out and have not had much better luck...

So this last week of heavy pressing, I have been noticing some slop in my Bolton vise when I try to loosen it up. I popped off the end shaft cap and I do not like what I am seeing. It appears to me that the shaft has worn about half way through the movable jaw itself. I could be wrong here...

Yes, the same plates should work for both.. Not all arbor presses are the same, but a 1-2 ton arbor plate should fit on the drake.

State Dept says it will not release her aid's* emails for 27 more months. The FBI interviewed their target. fixed*

Sorry for the confusion. I am not sure either on that. Here is what I was reading. Maybe conductive grease is a bit dangerous as it can move to where you don't want it. Conflicting information for sure. http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?80020-Lubrication-for-flashlights...

I found that the 1/8" fc2000 wick rod fits perfectly inside the inner coil and can be inserted and removed from the side without messing with the coils. This solves my capacity and the run off issues. Pull the wick out, torch it, reinstall when loaded up. :nod: Edit: After looking at the...

@dorkus_molorkus Are you making fireworks now?

Has anyone with a hot hopper backend, tried a little conductive grease on the backend threads? This might reduce amp loss across the threads and help keep the backend cooler, while keeping the amps up the heater? Edit: I know we talked about it once, but not sure of the answer. Edit2: This...

I got my RafaleX and some new ti wire in and copied your design as best as I could @2clicker .:rockon: I think it came out a wrap shorter somehow on the clapton outer coil so it came in at .24 ohms but it works really well. The flavor so far is better than the Fc2000 wicks I think but I can...

I admit, I have not touched, used or even seen a hopper in person yet so I am just going off pictures, videos and other members posts. At a glancing pass, I think it might fool me if I had no idea what it was. I am pretty sure I could show it to my wife, child or strangers and they would...

Last time I flew a few years ago, we did the pre screening check in deal and we just walked past huge lines of people, that did not. After making airplane parts for a few years like seat tracks, I will try and drive, if I can help it. Aluminum is barely one step above wood in yield...

Today, I am a legal medical patient. Tomorrow, I will be a criminal, again. Welcome to Washington:. Come for vacation, stay for probation!

I want a powerful one hitter that passes as a pen by the man, security, the kids or anyone at a glance. I'd like to see one try to get through security anywhere with a Milana in one pocket and the grasshopper in another. It's about stealth and hiding in plain sight from the kids, the wife...

"In 2012, the average American taxpayer making $50,000 per year paid just $36 towards the food stamps program. That's just ten cents a day! That's less than the cost of a gumball. But Republicans think that's still too high a price to pay to help the neediest and most vulnerable Americans...
