    I just did a DetoxIT trial, and for those of you who don't want to read the details... GET SOME. just using the D-solution here. This is all that's necessary for the threads. If the backend contact is plated, I'd be surprised, and I can't really tell what that inside contact is, but I'm...

    It's taken me the full two weeks I've had the hopper, using it for 2 to 3 battery charges per day, to have made the necessary changes to what to expect from this little thing. Like you said, if it wasn't so cool I might have stuck with my Pax and looked into more serious convection equipment...

    Perhaps the threads are the spot for occasional use of the D solution, and very lightly applied and wiped. When I get the products by weekend I'll be exploring the efficacy of this stuff and will do a summary here.

    For what it may be worth to anyone, I found these two Thanks! I went to Amazon and found these two items... can't decide which I like better, but I'll get both and give one away. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001EQ7H82/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1...

    I've just spoken with CAIG, who makes the DetoxIT product. The Gold is a gentler clean (much lower % solvent), and yes, it can be used afterwards, but its benefit is only if the contacts are plated... it's to help keep plating from tarnishing. If the contacts are not plated, then it's not...

    I love this place :) Alright, sorry to drill down further on this stuff, but this is excerpted (edited for ease of reading) from https://www.amazon.com/DeoxITGOLD-Liquid-Brush-Applicator-Conditioner/dp/B0015A7CYG/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1470852042&sr=8-4&keywords=deoxit+gold DeoxIT GOLD Liquid...

    There are several packaging types of this stuff; spray, squeeze-tube, brush-on... I guess the spray is out (derp!). How have you applied this, just brush it on and wipe off? And it never builds up? My only experience with contact cleaners have been the blue stuff kind when I used to repair...

    Personally, I don't doubt anything that is expressed here. Just ONE time when I held the hopper in my hands as I had unscrewed the mouthpiece, I could swear I felt a micro-tingle somewhere on that exposed metal shaft of the chamber. Hasn't happened a second time. That said...

    It's possible, and since you mentioned arcing, I'm curious: I'm not suggesting anyone do this unless you're willing to injure the battery, but.... if you took a GH battery and used a piece of wire to short one end to the other, would it arc? It would have to be a good gauge because if the wire...

    I guess it could be the battery, I don't know. But if it is, I would expect it to behave consistently - that is, always making the backend hot. If the backend isn't consistent (taking into account the varying backend heat versus battery drain), then maybe it begs more questions. ...Which is...

    I think your written English is fantastic... There must be an effect on efficiency if the backend is "more than warm", or, gets hotter sometimes more than others. My only logic in making this statement is that it just seems to me that if there is even one hopper out there that typically never...

    Apologies, Vapor_Eyes... I may be confusing posts... so sorry... But T4 seems like the median for many of us. It is a sweet spot, and there's always T5 for the stubborn strains, true. I'm thinking I should order a half-dozen more batteries to supplement the three I have in rotation, each...

    Sunday I was showing a friend how to use the GH, and as I was replacing the battery for a fresh rip, I noticed that the diameter of the contact on the back of the battery is minimally larger than the contact on the backend. But then I dismissed it, because, well, I was showing a friend how to...

    Now if I only had a twitter account. But we digress.... @Vapor_Eyes , I do believe I like the tiny amounts, as you suggested. And while I don't seem happy with a T3, 3.5 seems to be a nice starting point, on up to 5 on the final shot. I'm impressed by the efficiency of convection, this...

    Man I feel like an idiot... I can't find how to PM you and/or be able to upload images unless their "links". May I impose upon you for instructions? Took some nice shots, too!

    Right on the nose, Vapor_Eyes. I think it's an innate concern for "resources". We know how precious the battery is to this what this amazing product can do. It's VERY hard to keep track of where I'm at with the chamber's material status; especially when the herb is cannabis :). I keep telling...

    Thank you, @Ratchett , that's very kind of you! So first, I have to confess that I was wrong about the Nitecore model number. It's a UM20. I hope that's a good charger! Here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PGD3W38/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 As far as the...

    Actually, I've been meaning to tell @Ratchett at Delta about this: The Delta Battery Sleeves do not work with the Nitecore D2. The diameter of the sleeves are a tad too wide, and the battery contacts seem to just miss their mark, so, I don't use the sleeves (not worth to return the items, and...
