Thanks for the quick reply. I'm surprised that phosphate TSP wouldn't leave residue too; it has always been emphasized to rinse thoroughly and I assumed that was at least part of the reason. But I'd rather not use it anyway because it is so caustic. Also percarbonate when dissolved becomes...

I've read thru this terrific thread twice. Thanks to all for the great info and efforts. :bowdown: I'd like to have my new cleaning setup ready in time for my two Mobius pieces arriving next week. I'm going to be mixing my own PBW with 1:2 of Red Devil TSP (metasilicate) and OxyClean Free...

Both vapornation and vapeworld are selling the viVape for $289 which includes a $50 manufacturer's rebate. Given the cost of the unit to these distributors - unless there is something extraordinary happening that isn't visible - this looks to be a liquidation/fire-sale price (45% off factory...

I may be able to help. Send me a PM with the details. If finding it in your location and/or shipping is an issue, you may be able to mix it yourself. Details in the thread. Re the Simple Green, I use VXL's method but with a container just large enough to hold the HT and mixed from concentrate...

fwiw for future ref . . . some of us use this, same NSF51 . . . more $ per foot, but USP charges ~the same shipping for 10' as it does 25'. If you're Prime ends up less total (maybe even if not Prime???) . . . http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FMWTSY

IMO eBay is not the best source to buy from, not unless the seller is also a regular retailer or at least has a storefront. pakalolo is right about the warranty provision, and it only makes sense given that there are knock-offs and deceptive sellers out there. Buyers have been burned in the past...

It's a popular moderate strength all-purpose concentrate, although it comes in a lot of variations. A list with the MSDS sheets is here: http://simplegreen.com/products_msds.php Essentially it's an organic solvent with salts and surfactants. I use it like VXL does, using a plastic container...

OK, let's see if I can get it right this time . . . :science: Dimensions used drawn from specs & pics at ALT, so this only applies to current models and presumes ALT's data is accurate. Tube/can ID used. Accuracy probably within about ±5%. 65t = ~44in³ (721cm³) 65b = ~37in³ (606cm³) 60t =...

Think you may be right. I confess that I didn't think to subtract for wall. And I guess on the ALT pages we are supposed to understand that "75mm" and "65x5mm" are the same. Since I opened this can of, er, vapor, I'll recalc the numbers later and re-post. :p

I took the dimensions off the ALT pages.

Oops - found an oversight! Turns out that the Clear Bubbler Reti has a 75mm can while the Clear Bubbler Matrix has a 65mm can! It never occurred to me that they would be different. So the volume on the Matrix version is ~36" compared to the Reti's ~47". Consequently, the Matrix bubbler is...

Trying to decide on the 60t vs clear bubbler vs ion, and reading posts about the larger 65 pieces being lung busters, I got to wondering about the actual volume (can or tube) in each of these pieces and how those compared. So I ran some calculations (V = ℼr²h). Not exactly precise but pretty...

I have 2 bubblers for sale, both well made, both purchased from ALT. The first is here: http://aqualabtechnologies.com/scientific-glass/headford-glass/headford-glass-inline-triple-doughnut-bubbler.html Light use with a Q whip only. ALT shows 10" height but "sizes vary"; mine is 7" tall...

Frederick, fwiw I stumbled across this 65b for $450 in Los Angeles. The ad was placed 4 mos ago but it says that if it's still listed, it's still for sale. http://losangeles.bidbut.com/a,35,48090,Limited-Edition-Mobius-Stereo-Matrix-65b----450-Long-Beach.htm

I know it's primitive, but I'm just using a pipe cleaner with the end doubled-back a couple inches. Surprisingly an in/out while turning motion, cleans it quite well. Cheap. After a week or so, an ISO soak.

Maybe it was a dream, Stu. After all, aren't you pretty much up in the Clouds all the time anyway? Maybe the gods were sending you a message. :)

It's a matter of both the vapor and water volumes. The whip adds drag (good idea to shorten the whip). With a typical bong tube it takes a strong deep pull to fill and clear that tube. If the water volume is greater, that adds to the drag as well (and may diminish taste). A bubbler will tend to...

Unfortunately, the female was sold yesterday. The male is still avail, as is the same piece at kulture for the same price, which hasn't moved yet. The ALT guy told me that the 60t females sell immediately. It sure seems like the glass shops are over-doing the dabber male-joint thing, or...

Please bare in mind that this is just the :2c: of a :myday: . . . The Black Leaf is what is usually called (at least in the U.S.) a bubbler, this 300mm/~12" height is typically about the max but a good size for the Q. The glass thickness, mouthpiece diameter, can diameter, inline length are...

IIRC fulfillment is quoted at 1-2 business days following order receipt. Since you ordered on the week-end, 2 days would be end-of-day today. And tracking with the post office is somewhat inconsistent and not always timely. I wouldn't expect any notifications until tonight or tomorrow.
