Stu, did you ever determine conclusively what the film is from, and most importantly, were you able to remove it?

Thaanks guys for the suggestions! I'm glad to know that there is some trial-and-error that goes into getting this right. For a while there, I though I'd gone from:myday:to :mental: I don't think that it's because I'm not pulling hard enough. I can get very thick milk in the first several...

I have what will probably seem a ridiculous question, but hey, I'm still new to this GAS thing . . . I've been using my new Clear Bubbler this week. At least in my still limited glass experience, this thing is a beast. The volume of the can is => the 60t. The first hits really milk up thick...

fwiw here's a Strato Reti for sale . . . http://glass.nuggetry.com/add/a1354066012/

Yes, the stock tubing is a non-toxic PVC which meets spec NSF-51, i.e., "food grade". The odor is typical and will dissipate with time and/or use. So off you go to . . . Enjoy! :tup: EDIT: Well, maybe not so typical after all. :) But, it has been complained about before here.

Congratulations on your slogging thru the Q threads. And in only a month! :clap: But well worth the time. As far as the "mica issue" . . . I wouldn't presume that there is a "fix", not unless Arizer acknowledges there is a problem. While a couple users did find the part decomposed to...

IMO that's wise, until you know all your options. There is no way of knowing whether your unit also has the same particular broken joint/weld vs other possibilities. Actually, that problem was comparatively speaking a lucky one. If the issue is in firmware or the heater or the electronics, it...

I decided to give this type setup a try, but I wanted to do it a bit differently. Mostly I wanted a kit that quickly connected up to a permanent faucet attachment, install it just once so no further touching of the faucet threads, etc. I end up with this: I just pieced this together at the...

There is a lot of discussion in this thread about making a valve mod. Here's one: http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/the-extreme-q-vaporizer.1457/page-178#post-261661 Just try using Search in this thread for "volcano AND valve". A simple stopper like a pencil eraser can be used, too. Some...

SC tube??? Yesterday I just received a used Clear Bubbler Reti. I have a used Ion Matrix on the way. I had to do PBW work on some resin stains along with a vinegar rinse, but now the Bubbler is as sparkling crystal clear as new. And both have the dome. :nod:

On my Mobius Clear Bubbler the Cloud sits a tad loose in the joint too, seems because the Cloud's male is not quite as long. Not so on other pieces. But the seal still works fine. It's academic though because I really like using the CloudBuddy, I love being able to clear w/o having the touch the...

The brewers links you posted had both 2:1 and 70/30. I made a 200g batch, put it in a mason jar. If you try phosphate TSP I presume you'll first check into possible percarbonate reactions; I'm always extra cautious about that. The Red Devil TSP is 100% metasilicate. Mixing my total net cost is...

I was gonna wait till I nailed down my routine, etc. but . . . I received my (used) Clear Mobius bubbler today. While "clean" enough for most (the seller said it was "perfect, like new") there were small baked on brown resin spots on the shaft and inside the wall. And a faint smell of...

Fwiw . . . as discussed earlier there have been a number of design and assembly process improvements since release. E.g., this unit does not have the same heater nor heater jacket as earlier versions (serial numbers do not correlate to age of unit). Also, I believe there have been additional...

In other words, we've all got the illness. :freak:

Quite true. To put just a bit finer point on this, what is updated regularly is software; it becomes firmware when it is written to a device such as an eprom. While an upgrade to firmware can be (and usually is) re-writing the software to the device (this also requires separate hw/sw on the...

I think this is the best answer to my overnight soak question. My very easy daily or every-other-day Simple Green soak, and then a ~weekly scrub with the home-brew PBW. More or less as I gain experience with it. Thanks again, t-dub. :clap: EDIT: fwiw, I'll have 3 lbs mixed for ~$15 total.

The serial number does not correlate to the age of the unit. Nonetheless that's academic; this is not an upgrade to the unit you have, it is a new unit altogether. Btw, "generation" typically refers to more fundamental change. There has only been one Cloud generation. The "improvements" SM...

I don't see the basis for presuming the replacement unit will be "flawed". A unit once refurbished should be in like new working order. Furthermore it is quite common for manufacturers to use refurbished units as warranty replacements. Are new units now coming off the assy line better than...
