    I actually bought two O-Ring kits; the standard one and the "all oranges" one. Can't have too many O-Rings. And I always keep my orange O-Ring on (the bottom notch of the core). The insulating sleeve comes off way too easily (for me) otherwise. I anticipated losing the O-Ring (which for some...

    Last web order I made included the O-Ring package, but I added a note asking for ONLY the red rings, and TV nicely just sent me five orange rings instead of the assortment. Doesn't help with the shipping part, especially if you're just ordering the O-Rings, but at least you'll be able to lose...

    Never even thought of that! Is the dart draw restricted beyond what the UFO itself is? I was thinking of something along the lines of this: The end that goes in the Evo tube is a shorty ptfe (to which I would add a UFO, not shown), the end that goes in your mouth could be any mouthpiece...

    Hmm, sounds like maybe a plea to Thermovape for an extended length ptfe mouthpiece may be in order. With a UFO in the end. In black. Ah hell, while I'm at it, I would surely get excited about a newly designed cap for the T1...

    I have a standard, restricted revo, and extended mouthpiece in black Delrin. I have a standard ptfe mouthpiece in white. I put my first UFO in the ptfe mouthpiece, but the standard length mouthpieces are just too short for my liking inserted directly in the Evo core, even with the modified...

    While I'm not sure I agree with your assessment that running without any insulating sleeve makes an appreciable difference on how hot the batteries get, keep in mind that the Thermovape "recommended" method of using the Evo is to have the insulating sleeve in place. It's how they designed it; it...

    Nah, it won't fit. The Smooth-Flow has a small bottom bore, much too small for a UFO to fit. I tried :). I suppose you (or Thermovape) could bore out the hole a bit, below the part where the ceramic lives, to fit a UFO in, but remember that the Smooth-Flow is metal, and if you insert it...

    Those of us that are using modified insulating sleeves, with the top section removed, so it's not in the vapor path anymore, but with it still fully covering the Evo core, haven't found ANY difference between keeping it on, and not using it. Other than you don't burn yourself all the time...

    I've been using the extended delrin mouthpiece directly into my sv Evo core for weeks, and not only has the delrin not melted or deformed, the O-Ring is still fine too. I actually thought the O-Ring might be a problem, but it hasn't turned out to be. If Thermovape made an extended length ptfe...

    I use my Evo much as you do, with a direct mouthpiece-to-core connection, though not with quite as long a preheat. I have the sv Evo, and I think it heats up a little faster than the lv Evo. I've found that 30-45 seconds is plenty to get things working as you describe. For reference, my sv Evo...

    Thermovape once mentioned that if you were planning on also using one of the concentrate cores (like the dart or the revo), you should consider the original exposed metal adapter, rather than the new one, because the older design has a small well to trap any leaked concentrate, and the new one...

    It's a protective cap for a ST fiber optic barrel. (Aren't you glad you asked). The fiber optic barrel is used to connect two ST fiber optic cables. Dust is the enemy of fiber optic connections, so even though the barrel is really only a shaped piece of metal, you don't want to get any dust in...

    Wow, go away for a week and the thread takes a detour through the twilight zone... I found this great container for your herbals. It's exactly the same size as a T1 or Evo, it's air and water tight, it's mostly indestructible, and has two sections, each with its own screw on cap and O-ring, so...

    OF: There's still something we're all missing. Or at least I am. I have three different Delrin sleeves, with and without UFOs, two different 6v Evo cores, and six red O-Rings. I can't seem to get even reasonable results when I am using the Evo as designed, with the Delrin sleeve holding the...

    I've been testing since I first posted the message about directly connecting the mouthpiece to the Evo instead of via the Delrin sleeve, refining my technique and learning the ins and outs of the Evo, and at least once a day I try the standard Delrin sleeve again, and I still can't get the Evo...

    No, I take it off. That's why I mentioned to be careful about the heat. If I dropped the water in while the smooth-flow was installed, I'd get the top of the load wet (or the interior of the botanical chamber, if it wasn't loaded yet).

    DaProf: I think Darkrom and Joe are right on about the Pureflow. The Evo really shines with good airflow; maybe if you were getting a T1 I could see it, but the Evo just seems to work much better with a less restricted vapor path (as does the T1, for that matter). I can even tell the difference...

    I'm having trouble picking a "winner" too. There are many differences, some subtle, some not so subtle, but none of the differences seem to really effect how medicated I get. The differences are all usage differences. Battery stuff. Cleaning stuff. Operational ease. Cloud density. In the...
