I soak my stems in a 50mL vial of grain alcohol for several days to extract the resin. Which I've tried to reclaim (results were mixed, think my temperatures were too high). I also use a second 50mL vial to finish the cleaning of my stems. What percentage ISO are you using? I've no problems...

Yeah, I think I'm going to try vapor polishing the molds to make the next batch come out smoother. But wait until you use the plugs - the grain pattern looks pretty cool when magnified by the glass :) I've found they make a super tight seal if you give them a good twist when inserting. They've...

Thanks guys! I've heard about the vaporlungs, but never really looked into how they're made (I know there's a thread on here somewhere, I was linked to it previously). That's a great idea to use the vaporlung if I want to use a bag (I believe I can improve the VL design through the use of 3D...

So I'm perfectly happy with my Davinci Ascent and my Lotus vapes currently, but my VAS is nagging me to buy a plug-in vape (since I've got portables covered!) I'm not planning to buy immediately (still need to save up funds, since I'm currently spending $$ on more glass for my Lotus!), but I...

Welcome! Never heard of the Life Saber.... I'll have to check that out (shopping for a plug-in vape, preferably one that can handle full unground nuggets!). Can't really comment on the Lotus temperatures. It all depends on how evenly you can cook your load. Keep the flame far enough away...

:puke: I'm sure they would 'work', but I personally prefer 2-3 water chambers for better filtration of the smoke. But since vaping, I only want 1 real chamber of water diffusion, no sense in removing ALL the flavor from the herb! I can't imagine going back to combusting, but If i did, I don't...

Eh, Guess I'm just getting bored of the Lotus and the D020, looking for something different! I think it's really because I want more of a wow factor when I milk the Lotus in front of my combusting friends :science:

Mine just arrived from Sunshine store the bottom plate chugs nicely. But the turbine is disappointing. Not enough heigh to see an cool turbine action. Only time I get the turbine spinning motion is when running a hot water flush during cleaning! Also note, the Lotus cap is too wide for the...

Heh, actually I like the idea of combining a J-hook with an AC for water. I've already got something that might work, but the Lotus cap is too wide for the AC's female joint, need to get a male to female extender to make that work. Just bought this since I discovered it was in stock (wanted it...

I wish :lol: Thank you for the invite though, next time I'm out that way I'd certainly love to check them out. Shoot me a pm with some pictures, I'd love to see what your favorites for the Lotus are!

Hi All! I'm really getting into glass now that I've fallen in love with my Lotus. I've been using the D020 lately as it's the only thing I have currently with water. I can't handle my J-hook by itself (dry hits aren't as enjoyable to me) Rather than derail the Lotus thread, I figured I'd start...

I have actually been thinking about some tests with tamping the load down. Seems to have improved my vapor production in my DV Ascent recently... Gotcha. Actually I only purchased my Lotus and a spare plate within the past 2 months. I wonder if some of the older batches of plates from last...

Like eating too many brownies in a night. You know that hazy cloud (almost couch-lock) feeling? Since my wife only uses several times a year (and never vapes or smokes), her tolerance is extremely low. If she takes 1 teaspoon at night, her entire following day is shot. All she does is sit on...

Congrats on the purchase! Quite a few people have an EQ in their collection. I'm probably not the best to attest to this, since I only got back into vaping this year. I have a box vape I got from my LHS about 5 years ago, and it still works. But I've had to replace the whip twice (cracked glass...

Eventually? Probably. But when depends on you and your heating patterns, torch length and frequency of use. But even if when you do get find a crack, your Lotus is still functional, it's just a bit faster to get hot :ko:. Even with a cracked plate, I was able to evenly vape my herb quite often...

No need! I came home from work to find an unexpected package from MT! Opened it just now to confirm what I thought. Like @VapeNStone, my replacement plate arrived today! It's also the new smooth edition! Very pleased with this response. And even more amazed that @Max Jitter didnt' make an...

Oooo - pretty! Nice work on an improved design! I was expecting another month before I saw any updates on the plate from you! Do I need to send another email? Or was my email last week with pictures sufficient?

Lol, CNC machines are easy to build, I could easily convert one of my 3D printers into a CNC. Actually I rebuilt my Delta 3D printer so I can change tool-heads in a matter of minutes. With a corded dremmel and some motors/arduino controller, you can build a CNC for under $500!

A new vape delivered before the weekend is ALWAYS a great feeling 1) It'll take a few days for that taste and smell to go away - that's normal. 2) No sign of vapor - READ the past 10-20 pages, the same thing is discussed over and over 3) The stems was discussed a few pages back - it's...

Sadly, this indeed is exactly why I never gave the Solo a second look before purchasing my Davinci Ascent with it's a beautiful burl wood and all "glass on glass" marketing BS (hah, yeah right, it's not even air tight to produce pure glass on glass!) I too wish the Solo had a bit more style...
