Rest assured attempts along these lines have been made. A wget mirror is inadequate, since you cannot duplicate the member database. It would serve as an archive of the content but there is no way it could be made to function as a copy of the forum.

Since the Haze batteries have a protection circuit (which is why they are longer than unprotected 18650) I would be wary of trying to re-wrap them.

Both @vtac and @Quetzalcoatl have been missing for several months. Only @vtac (the site owner) has the access necessary to update forum software or perform backups. He has never disclosed the back end architecture. We do not know whether there is an automated backup, but knowing @vtac there...

Good suggestion, title changed.

Contest entries and Classified ads are privileges for members who demonstrate that they are contributing meaningful comments. Unfortunately, this means that new members are left out until they show that they are not just here to enter contests or post Classifieds. You need 25 trophy points to...

You only need to qualify for posting privileges. People have joined expressly to answer a classified, done their business and left without ever making a post.

I have added the following note to the first post in this thread: mod note: Since FC is not an e-cig forum, when this thread was started (note the date) none of the moderators were aware that it advocates the use of completely unsafe practices. There are much safer alternatives today. Please do...

That was thoughtful of you and I thank you for it. It gives me a place to put stuff. :D Which is to say, I don't expect everyone to stay on topic all the time. Some diversion is tolerable, but this thread is prone to drifting far afield for long multiple pages. We get reports and then we have...

I just had to move a bunch more posts, some of which were made after I asked people to stay on topic. You might not want to follow other threads but you don't get to distract everyone else with off-topic posts. The amount of off-topic material in this thread makes it quite difficult to find the...

I just deleted or moved a lot of off-topic posts, so many I didn't bother counting. If your post is gone or is missing a portion, this would be why. I tried to notify everyone affected but no doubt I missed some. I also left some minor off-topic posts because I really do have another life to...

The information in your reply is appreciated; however, the attitude is not. If you feel that someone isn't respecting FC or doing proper homework, you can report the post if you think it breaks the rules, otherwise send a PM or simply ignore the post. Public scolding simply invites a flame war...

You can fix this yourself: run a bead of Krazy Glue or similar cyanoacrylate glue around the base where it has separated, then press together for 30 seconds or so. Don't lift or twist it. That's all it takes. This area does not get hot and is nowhere near the air path, so it's quite safe to do this.

Thanks. Please don't stop reporting those posts, though. They are off topic and inflammatory.

Look at the 510 connector on the base of your Splinter and you'll see that there's a slotted screw head. Gently tighten this (don't force it) and see if your problem goes away. When I had a similar issue, this was the cure.

You are correct that the posts you refer to are inappropriate, so I just deleted. them. Your comments are also inappropriate, however. I won't give you a warning point this time, but next time I will. If someone breaks the rules, report the post and do not post a response. If you feel a reply...

This is not helpful and could provoke a flame war. If someone breaks the rules, report it and do not respond. If you must reply, use a PM. If the rules aren't broken, ignore it and do not try to pick a fight.

Thanks for the diagram, @Mike-Topbond. Could you elaborate on the airflow path? Does air spiral up around the sides? I just tried using unground buds, and I'm happy to report that I got great results. After a 5 minute session consisting of 5 30 seconds hits at 190°C through my Orbiter, the buds...

@AJS: I have solved the mystery! Your theory is correct. My faith that the Odin 2 is a convection device is unshaken. I tried loading the chamber with MFLB-style fine grind. Sure enough, I saw vapour before the Odin 2 hit 190°C. I then dumped the load and examined for any sign of vapourization...

At the top, the mouthpiece barely gets warm. At the bottom, the metal base gets hot enough that you don't want to keep your finger on it. This is after a 5 minute (timed out) session at 220°C. The unit itself gets fairly warm but not uncomfortable to hold.

Perhaps you had a bad experience with them but the overwhelming majority of FC members who are customers of Haze have had great experiences. Claiming that Haze is a bad company to deal with is unfair and flies in the face of the evidence posted in this and other threads. In case you aren't...
