If I follow you, I share a dislike of GonG fittings that get used a lot. They can freeze up when least convenient and I've even managed to break a couple. So now I wrap the boy part (male fitting) with a couple turns of 'plumber's tape'. The Teflon tape (usually white) plumbers use to ensure...

Excellent point. The (overwhelming?) majority find no problems, but still those that do are real people with what we assume are real concerns. "You can't please all the people all the time" is true as ever, but some, like HR, are fighting that reality. Bravo! About that work thing? I...

Good point. Add to that the all important dependability (you get the expected results every time) and it shapes up to be a real winner for sure. Your point about the chamber itself is also a good one. It too can be a source of smells for the same reason (as well as the internal surfaces of...

While I was speaking generally, I think it's also specific to this (and similar) vapes. A very small fraction of the incoming air actually makes physical contact with hot enough metal to bring the average temperature up to 400F (give or take). Not hot enough to make vapor. Rather, such vapes...

If it's convection (and I don't think it really is....) it still depends on conduction to heat the air? What the heated surface is made of is what matters, not what the heat source is made of. It's the material of the pot I cook my dinner that matters, not the campfire, gas or electric stove...

Absolutely heat is flowing in conduction (not convection). As you point out if we measure an 8 degree 'delta' (difference in temperature) across that 'four degrees C per Watt' junction we know automatically that there is 8 Watts (Joules per second) flowing without directly measuring it. Same...

I think it's just a disgusting as it ever was, only our attitude changes? Funny how your mind works getting you to ignore natural reflexes, severe warnings really, just to get to THC. We even convinced ourselves smoking tasted good and gave us pleasure as an act. But don't be too...

So we kicked this around some a month or so back. Most insisted they are made in China. However, it seems someone forgot to tell our friends at PV: "Quality Made in Canada Vaporizers at the Best Prices and Best Reviews Extreme Q, Air, Air II, Solo, Solo II, ArGo and V-Tower"...

Easily done. For a temporary (and easy to reverse) solution simply tape the holes in the mid section up or cover them with a rubber band. If you want a 'permanent fix' use the tips off wooden toothpicks instead. I suggest you try before terminally plugging the ports, most of us who tried...

No worries. Glass is surprisingly strong when this sort of thing happens, often called 'hoop stress'. This is because it's in compression, not tension. In fact in extreme cases this is done (in what's called 'shrink fitting' to glass line holes in metals). There is, of course a real threat...

I suppose you could, but the material in the stem above the cup would not get heated then and so wouldn't produce useful vapor. While the diameter of the load would be greater without the glass wall thickness (and therefore be slightly larger in volume) the cup would foul and be hard to clean...

Not to tell an hombre how to run his life, but if you have a dishwasher and use it daily this could become trivial? Provided you pick bubblers and a technique that work well, of course. I clean such stuff (stems included) this way typically. Although not every day. Some I just put 'wide...

Right call for the right reason! 'Good on ya' as our brothers down under say. OF

Interesting idea. It would seriously cut into what we hope will be a small profit margin (that is we would much appreciate a low selling price). HR already does 'above and beyond' duty here by matching user contributions to @Vitolo, that is you pay for one to be shipped to him for distribution...

Obviously fine grind is not necessary, it only helps some? Seems we do have different experiences, mine are based on true convection vapes like T1, Evolution, and Cera from TV and Elevape SV. All of which have incandescent heat sources, no heat soak effect and poor battery life. I don't now...

Yes, there's a big rhubarb on the topic, IMO it's definitely conduction. Heat soaks are a conduction thing, as is good battery efficiency. Convection needs heating air hotter than vaping temperature (so it can give up energy by cooling some and still make vapor). Typically well over 1000...

Sorry, I guess I didn't understand your point.....not sure I do now? If you want to avoid 'extra' hot air, stick with conduction vapes like Solo/Air/ArGo for sure. And hit them slow? Convection vapes mean hot air, and lots of it. Hitting your ArGo fast/hard is going to give more volume, but...

Better guard your stash........ Hey, as a personal favor, how about I come by and pick it up so you won't have to worry about getting distracted? How big a Rider truck should I rent? OF

If the 'Vapman in every kitchen' movement ever catches on it could be interesting to see what happens when the automated lathe guys quit wasting their time making napkin rings and golf tees and make bodies instead in serious volumes. We'd lose the 'hand made by Swiss craftsman' aspect perhaps...

Probably not yet, but the Chinese are held to be the first to vape. Opium was (is?) traditionally done that way 'in the day'. The long stemmed pipes we see in photos were held 'sideways' over flames and the bowls heated. Generally from the prone position........ FWIW traditional hookah...
