    PBW & the Chemistry of Clean

    Both true, but it's not safe to put down the drain, as the man pointed out. We have an alternative that's not that does and excellent job. Lots of stuff that's used other places is used other places, that doesn't change things here. Any of a number of acids will also clean the glass, and are...

    If I follow what you're saying, you want the dial 'to turn further', that is move the stop? Yes, you can do that, gently pry the knob off the shaft, it's pressed over the brass body of the valve which has grooves knurled into it. Easy enough, just be careful to go straight up and down after...

    Stoppers for cleaning

    Once again Vitolo is spot on! Although I thing rubber stoppers (from the same source) are a better plan. Stuff doesn't 'soak into them' and make a mess. I also think you should rethink getting all that ISO on your skin. "High proof' versions (like we need for cleaning) can strip the oils...

    PBW & the Chemistry of Clean

    I agree, keep the soaks short and HOT. I find that after 3 to maybe 5 minutes the action slows as the water treatment and other chemicals are consumed and the water cools. I find it much better to soak 3 or so minutes, shake a bit, and dump it out when it cools and replace with fresh PBW and...

    PBW & the Chemistry of Clean

    That cinches it for me. Where else did you plan of disposing of it? We have a safe, responsible alternative available, IMO that means we avoid Alconox........ OF

    Arizer Solo

    I bet the adapter you need is one of the two I discussed here: http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/arizer-solo.3833/page-1478#post-967241 Good luck with it. The one I posted about works just fine, so it's possible....... OF

    Arizer Solo

    You know it's funny (at least to me), when I first read of this on this forum I decided to give it a try only to find I'd been doing it all along? Now, of course, it's natural and automatic. Perhaps then too without realizing? I have trouble sometimes with Air when the stem doesn't tip no...

    Arizer Solo

    Actually, it's a feature. Seriously. It allows you to tip the stem to control the draw. If you don't like that, Air is probably more for you? It has 3 seals, not one, so it holds more firmly. I wouldn't worry about vapors leaking out an gaps, since you suck when you hit (well you know what...

    PBW & the Chemistry of Clean

    I don't know about Alconox but PBW is engineered to deal with the hardest water possible....and then some. In extreme cases this might take several applications (only so much of the chemicals in PBW.....), but lighter build ups (like on the dishwasher walls) definitely get cleaned away. For...

    VaporGenie

    I'm glad you're happy with it, that's what counts really? If you read back in this thread you'll find several others have blazed this trail before you and posted about it. Some, like you, expressed their preference for it, others not so much. For whatever reason it 'failed to catch on'...

    Excellent observation!!! I'm reminded of why we keep you around here...... Q man you're a key resource in this merry band for sure. You have broad experience but more importantly understand much of what's happening and can relate similar data to advantage......like here? We could use more of...

    Arizer Solo

    I'm not sure I agree with that, the 'losing vapor' part. Yes, you lose some of the taste and other relatively unimportant part of the vapor but the important parts, THC and such, don't dissolve in water. There might be some still in the wax and other 'heavy stuff', but basically no THC in the...

    IIRC it takes several weeks, and there's no notice, but we're talking free shipping on a sub 3 dollar thing. Hard to complain too much, really, if it gets here. I've done just what you suggest, but a few at a time. I'd order a couple more with something else from that seller, or even order...

    Arizer Solo

    I think this depends on what you define vapor as (how's that for sounding like Bill Clinton?). Yes, vapor, but WATER vapor is what's changing? You're looking at your own private fog bank for practical purposes...... As air cools it's ability to 'hold water' drops. This is why the vapor from...

    The Arizer Air

    Sure. Just because a guy might not like it doesn't mean he hasn't tried it? Standard 'number 2 corks' (or #2 as it's more often listed) will do it: https://www.amazon.com/Frey-Scientific-Natural-Diameter-Bottom/dp/B00FGDTVUQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467421293&sr=8-1&keywords=#2+corks Not that...

    The Arizer Air

    Unfortunately, while I recall folks asking, I don't recall any sources for the factory part. It's different but similar on Solo, but no sources there, either? To be honest, many/most of us remove them. Gets in the way. I'm not sure where I put them so I wouldn't forget where they are...

    You're welcome, glad to help when I can. There are a lot of pretty lame lighters out there, price is not always a good measure, but those guys are known, proven performers and a great value. BTW they must hire a model with the worlds smallest hands, they really do fit in your pocket, but do...
