Was that for my benefit @Abele Rizieri Ferrari ? Thank you, buuut... We're not discussing the hardness here though, this is about the thermal properties of the material. @invertedisdead found out long ago that corundum is a better material for the balls than Boro, which, as per your quote, is...

Indeed, the flame changes colour as the sodium in the glass is excited by the heat.

We definately need @invertedisdead opinion here. Personally, I can't see the point of using zirconia balls as it's thermal properties are very similar to Boro. Iirc that's one of the reasons that zirconia was selected for the body, to try to limit the amount of energy lost to the bowl through...

I'm not sure how you would tell a thermal stress break from a clumsiness feature, but I commend your confidence! That's a shame you don't like the elev8r, the way it was designed, ie without balls and with the wand, it's a delight ime. Defiantly watching mate 👍

I can't, I don't have a bax or thermometer.

I'm sorry @GoldenBud bro, I'm honestly not trying to debunk your findings, I think they are useful, interesting and valid. There no such thing as to much data! I'm trying to play devils advocate and ask you, as the user with the equipment, to test the load itself if it's possible. Boro is a good...

I do like the look of this thing, although I'm not that interested in a large coil driven one but the torch one seems interesting. How many bodies have been tested for durability so far? I'm cautious because of the warnings with the torched beaded elev8r regarding different expansion rates of...

Do you think it's reasonable to assume that's true? You don't seem to think it's reasonable for people to assume the screen is correct, and fwiw I agree, but can you find a way to get that probe down the stem and into, or very near the bowl? It seems like it might be possible from the pictures...

I think the decarb machine is a fantastic idea. In the mean time, I've got a very reliable method using a conventional oven. Put your material in a jar with the lid on tight. I set my oven to come on in the middle of the night when the energy is cheapest. It comes on at a touch over 100c, from...

What's a riser? That's a new term for me unless I'm having a brain fart lol! I've got some of those ddave 14mm baskets, they're absolutely tiny!

Push that screen down to the bottom of the joint, just above the bulge, rather than below it. You can use another male joint to help with placement 👍

I just want to reiterate @coolbreeze reply above, it's certainly an informed decision to have the rubies exactly where they are, no more no less. @AlphaDeltaF1 if you haven't already I suggest you read the first 60 odd pages of this thread, there have been many optimisations and discoveries...

It sounds like you've done everything except a recalibration. Good luck!

Ok, I'll bite! 🐟 Is that quartz, Boro, ceramic, or fossilised mammoth snot?

Me too! How do you like them mate?

Thankfully he didn't spend too much time inside for crimes against the English accent...

Well, children get hold of guns frequently when they shouldn't..... I say ban guns and candy!

That's a sad story @diablitos I hope you find some people to share the shipping costs with, however you should probably let the user's of this international forum know where you're situated... 😉

It's totally off topic here, but... I don't think the soldering iron will work with a coil. The coil itself runs off ac power and I'm not sure that's true of the soldering iron element. Also I doubt the soldering iron element is as powerful as a coil and the station is probably not man enough to...
