Sorry, I forgot to add I have nothing against the company either. It is brutal working these gigs. Good you know the temps around your vapecap. Epoxies typically start outgassing in the range of 160-200F Here is a broad overview of CF w/epoxy...

Well will you look at that! :science: We have coloring perfection :rockon: ...while remaining absolutely natural :p These are some odd pieces but they are continuing to prove my point; this is no ordinary material by far! Maybe every species like this is similar, but no one has exploited...

:lmao:There's been a few generations that have come into their own and made terms like that 'ordinary'... and now they call us 'Boomer' because we refuse to keep up with their relentless distortion of language.

I am very disturbed by these vapes. Everyone raves on carbon fiber [CF]. Rarely does anyone realize that CF is 50% epoxy. Most common CF is not suitable for use at vape temps! :mental: I know the vape path is not exposed but the inlet air is right there! :disgust:

You'll need this for decent review :cool: [keyword; 5-point safety torx] ...or reboxing. They really want to keep us out :haw: Now I want to see :sherlock:

I'd pay you for that! :whip:

:whip: I have to say this in defense of the Apollo 2... the innards are most likely perfectly good. This thing has had a long hard look so it can't be all bad. Just a poor choice of aesthetics. And I definitely see an aftermarket box upgrade for the Apollo 2. Maybe also include a way to...

You definitely want a backup. IH is addictive :evil: :brow: How convenient that @Pipes offers two popular styles. ... For us geezers the Apollo reminds of vacuum form cases - on everything - A history that soon faded because these items didn't last. ... And we'd sure like to keep it that...

I finally got the courage up to make this crucial cut. I reef'd on the capture screw to compress the 3 pennies and went to town on the lathe. Stats: 14.4mm diameter for the 14.5mm hole in the LB. Drilled through the screw using #19 drill bit. And counter-bored the screw for knocking off the...

Simplicity is a VapCap and desire. :tup: Flowering Quince stem; 78mm carbless straight taper, all natural and lightweight.

And an update on the dye process. This process necessitates the starch leaching as well so this is interesting. The top stem is for comparison. The middle stem was soaked for 3 days in bright orange. The color it took on most was red as seen when saturated. This washes out when dry. There...

The Flowermate CAP does very well in design of the mouthpiece both with regard to materials and somewhat in effectiveness from user reviews. Contact with the zirconium mouthpiece can give a hot reply. The cooling spiral appears to be effective when clean but easily gets coated with vape and...

Looks like we're back in the tie-die-days. Yep, food coloring works added to plain water during a 2-day soak. Not sure what to think of it yet. Went for blue so I could actually see it. Not sure how much the linseed oil got in the way. I suspect some patterns will emerge. Definitely got a...

I don't know what Speed Racer was on but Trixie definitely used an M behind the scenes. Or would have if she had one!

Thanks for the clarification. That is about the time I get with my basic DIY China IH offering; 10 seconds for a good hot first draw. 3 seconds past both clicks and I see combustion on a second draw.

18 seconds total?

I may have found a real difference between FQ and what is considered 'wood'. I decided to throw a couple of pieces, including some of the linseed'd stems, into a vase of water. This stuff stays thirsty! :rockon: Within 12 hours, these pieces were saturated. I have a new set in a soak that...

What solder is being recommended for vape path exposure (as opposed to vape path direct)?

The trade size apparently 1/4" but they actually measure large. I have a MF acrylic stem measuring .2570 and the glass I measure .2545" When I make a wooden stem I aim for .260" and they've always fit nice and snug. @ataxian - I like pot and I like the MFLB. First vape and still find it an...

Get glass. Its very close to the hot screen. The diameter is .260"
