    Torx are a bit like Philips in that a smaller one can work. But what a joy to have all the possible sizes!

    Thank you! Coming from Nic vape this is a critical diff. All the wick stuff here is just a drip buffer, not a delivery system. So now I understand. Gracias!

    That last fraction on a vape reminds me of what I got on an oral spray called Gold Drops (I think). Seems that 2 or 3 sprays is the right dose. So I added another 3 before I fully "had" the first. I ended up feeling like sitting at the theater after being hit in the head with a 2 x 4. That's...

    What STRAIN works the best for your condition?

    I wonder how they decide what to label a specific bud in the dispensaries. Probably some of the "variation" people complain about is just personal biochemistry, but I wonder how much stems from growers/dispensaries randomly tagging purchased material, trying to place it based on Leafly data and...

    Sounds like a component failure. There's gotta be like a transistor that gates the current to the coil. They can fail in the "ON" state. Just statistics. Too bad it had to be yours. If you don't have another, I'd ask for a "drop-ship" to gain a day or two. They should trust their customers a...

    I wonder if you notice a difference in the effects, between the early and the later hits. It's not exactly like precise fractional distillation in the lab, and you mix/stir so the bottom center material doesn't get all the loving heat. But here's the chart of vaporization temps for the major...

    There are people who are saying that it's STRICTLY a convection unit, so it should levitate on a fart. But the hot air comes from the TOTAL heat below the bowl. On, say, a MFLB you have multiple heat zones across the screen, with different fractions distilling all mixed together. And you can't...

    Just got my vip club reply. But now is the orbiter is out to the general public at $79 too? I could sure use a finishing grinder at a discount.

    @fogbank Clearly it's meant to slide off easily enough to swap batteries, not so easily that you'd lose it. It's a matter of manufacturing tolerances. If it were mine, I'd use a dab of hot glue to create a little retention nub, or use something to raise the existing lip. But maybe in your case...

    I wonder if a solo adapter might work. Something like that?

    Isn't that where the two rails that the trench screen is mounted on end? if there's a short inside the rails could get very hot, and that would explain it. BTW how long does it take for them to admit you to the VIP club? been like 10 days since I filled out the form.

    Advanced E-cig users and oil/wax, how-to "one-hitter-quitter"

    What I don't understand is how people are working these nic vape coils or skillets. What happens to me is material burns on the wire and the rest melts down into the cup base. On a big hot piece of glass or titanium there's no time to burn. These little coils seem all wrong. If they at least sat...

    @ataxian you're welcome. @havealight101 thanks! so how do you keep the herb in the inverted FF? My 18mm makes a moveable seal with a little pressure sort of like a spherical joint. I'd be nervous if the male locked into the bowl, but clearly there is room for alternatives; it's an area NASA...

    I use the Fine. Make a little circular item about a US 5 cent piece (or a Euro 20 cent piece) in thickness. Work it to use long strands of the brass, and get rid of little shards. Make a few. Torch them to burn off any cutting oil etc. Shake out any tiny pieces. Fit the spongelet to the bottom...

    So can you lead us by the hand? I see a genesis type atty with a fat coil wire and a rolled up 400 stainless steel mesh for a wick. So does it wick melted wax? from where? is there a container below like for an e-cig genisis? or just enough to dab on and around the coil?

    Can anyone help me with the stated objective: running my FF through a Diamond Glass 2 Perc bubbler wth a male ground glass 18 mm "entry port"? Ah, turns out that the very edge of the male 18.5-16.5 mm (ie 18 mm) fits the opening of the FF ceramic or glass 15.5 mm bowl very well, as in that...

    Alright, Alright, Alright. I am now in the big leagues, with a bona fide US Made two perc bubbler. Thank my wife for that. She wrestled the salesman to a cash out the door price you would not believe. She's good. We were already exiting when he calls out the price, OK, OK! Now what I beg to...

    @Vitolo I think you're right. I've been trying various small amounts and I'm finding that it's true that it works better without any added screens. If I leave a little resin and dust around the porthole, it prevents any particles ever making it out, and even small amounts do the swirly dance in...

    Thanks, @0F that's the ticket. In my case this was a real nuisance. More of the botanikstoffe was lifted and splayed against the porthole than in the trench. I live in the SF Bay area, and on the hillsides we get huge variations in humidity over any 24 hour period. I also think they must do...

    Aw, shucks, local boy! @smatchimo55, I preferentially shop at Harborside too. Their $40 SM is what tastes like Bhopal on various eGo attached contraptions. But, wow, you Nail emulation cosmonauts are way out of my league. Why not forget all this sissy stuff and go to 120 volt and those...
