    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Some of them just do that--mine does. Apparently, some do not. Since there is no o-ring at that end, it relies on the machining of the two pieces. If the tolerances are off a tad, no assembly technique will change that fact. There is a small ledge on the inner diameter of the heat shield...

    Is this a corruption of RTL, as in "Ride Da Line"?

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    You can get an unground (smooth) adapter; Simrell carries them. Personally, I use a Sneaky Pete Strong Arm, but they're out of stock, and the current version is a step-down joint designed for 14 or 18mm--those are kind of chunky. I see that VGoodiez has a Vaphit versrion for a great price, if...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Same here; I must have misread the first instructions I saw about insertion level, because I had the adapter pushed all the way in, so that it was in contact with whatever surface it sat on. Now that I've got the top edge of the glass aligned with the with the red ring atop the Wand I'm getting...

    Cheap High Quality Bubbler

    That's how I've been using my Goo Roo recycler, even though it doesn't have a removable mouthpiece. It started out as an experiment to be able to observe the recycling function in action, but I like it so much I've kept it that way. It doesn't create a restriction issue; I use large-diameter...

    Hops are terpy, but I'm still not sure that's a good idea.

    Vaping minimalism (the opposite of VAS?)

    I take vapes mountain biking, where they live in my pack, which sometimes ends up beneath me, absorbing the impact of various misjudgments.

    Glass Vapes From The Rogue Wax Works

    I just drop in three terp pearls; they're probably 6mm. They work well with a coarse grind, and they make debowling super easy--the pearls push the load out when you dump it. Glass jacks also work, but I prefer the pearls. I also use a small ash catcher, which takes care of any stray materiel...

    How did you arrive at your FC Handle

    Well, I'm very fond of cannabis and bicycles. I'm pretty sure most of you were aware of the cannabis part. The bicycle part is both work and play. I run a non-profit, community bike shop, I'm a devoted bicycle commuter, and my main passion in cycling is mountain biking. I love both the beauty of...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Oh, goodness no, I hope that wasn't my message. Your inquiries have been so thorough that I haven't needed to make any of my own, and you've kept the conversation moving with positive enthusiasm.

    GooRoo Glass

    I took a trip to Portland Friday for a Mudhoney show (yes, it was awesome), and I made a quick detour to the Goo Roo factory. I mentioned on the cheap glass thread a while ago that I planned to pick up a domestically-made recycler after my positive experience with the SAML Klein, and the Goo Roo...

    I am also a Dynavap half-bowl enthusiast. That's because that's as much as a DV can handle if you want even, single-cycle extraction. The Tempest can handle much more, and I love using the full bowl.

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    I've had my Tempest for over a week now without having much to say; I feel like a kid who failed to turn in a book report. I guess after weeks of following this thread, especially @VapingYogi's questions and @RedZep's answers, I don't have anything to add. I can sum up my feelings about the...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Nope; too quick to the click, even on the lowest voltage. V2. I had high hopes for it with the Tempest, but it won't detect.

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Yes, it works great. It offers the flexibility of a torch, as you can apply heat higher or lower on the cap. Still, my favorite heating technique for this one is the Wand. Like @RedZep, I find my self spinning with a torch or the Inductor; maybe it's a little OCD, but I have trouble believing...

    Anvil by Vestratto

    No worries at all; I've got that issue sorted out, and I love the technique. I've also got a Duracore on the way, so it will be a moot point. I'd been using the Founder's with my WPA, but it doesn't respond well to my Inductor, so it's time to upgrade. I'll put my User's oven on the WPA (it...

    Anvil by Vestratto

    Wow, that's about the best hit I've ever gotten out of an Anvil. Thank you! But I did run into a problem--the bowl seized after being installed cold into a hot oven. I assume it's because the cold threads swelled. My oven and bowl were also well-seasoned, so I took some time and Barkeep's...

    Ordered October 29; received November 10. It felt much longer.

    Induction Heater MAD Heaters - Innovative Dynavap Accessories

    I'll let @HumbleLivings field that one from their perspective, but, yes, that's my experience. I either use the magnet on the Anvil tube, or I use a jeweler's magnet. I've got one of those on my keychain for portable use (which I rarely use, as I've usually got the tube handy), and another that...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    You've never heard a Dynavap sizzle? You must keep your devices spotlessly clean. When a dry piece heating in an IH sizzles, it's just the reclaim heating up.
