It's ugly (and I don't normally care about cosmetics). It just 'feels all wrong' in my hands, then again I'm used to 'real pipes'. I got the body on a clearance sale when they changed stem sizes for $20, seems they weren't all that popular? I had a spare top (from the initial 'ball' one that...

I too am a bigger fan of the HC, the OG always looked like a toy to me and an open invite for a bust. Likewise the Aluminum ones (although I have one) are not as good as the HC. Hands down the Big Bronze one is my favorite as well. Mine is slowly picking up the lovely patina I'd hoped for...

Hard to find fault with perfect for sure. OF

Or you can just buy one of the (two different length) Air stems with the plastic tops. They are designed to mate up directly with 14mm GonG connections and cost ten bucks. http://www.puffitup.com/Air-Glass-Aroma-Tube-p/arz.air-106_tube.htm Notice the cap? It has tapered sides for this...

Sure. Like all good legends there's enough truth/fact to keep it alive? First off, let's clear the air, I'm guilty of the 'faster charged outside' rumor but I'm only quoting the mod manual nobody reads. I have a couple external chargers that are faster, and some slower. With the Cuboid...

The current version (last two years?) you can 'use while charging'. But, like with Air, you probably shouldn't, especially if you value battery life. I wouldn't put it that way. They are both very similar. Even 'the same' to some. Both use a SS cup heated with an external heater (which...

Exactly so, made of cells? The cell is the 'quantum'. No, it's not a battery until it's connected to something, until then it's 'just' a cell. The idea comes from the cells (rooms) medieval Monks lived in as I recall. Two or more connected are a battery, they are then part of something...

I believe you are incorrect, for the reason I said: Misusing the term, even commonly done, doesn't make it right. Cells (plural) make up batteries, as defined here? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery An individual one is a cell...

True enough, there have been plenty....... No big deal hearing a VM calling to you. Many of us can clearly hear that over the other little voices. At least sometimes. No problem answering that call either I think. For sure groups vary (and change). There was one I was in a while back that...

It can, perhaps, if you concentrate in one spot. But if you heat in circles like I do (and plumbers and other craftsmen that use torches in their work to spread the heat out that doesn't happen. Think about it, the pan is wider than it is thick. That means heat will 'soak through' faster than...

I'm not sure about this part, I think 'it depends'? It's OK IMO if you can use it with default settings. Not everyone has a smart phone (hard as that might be for some to believe). Some of us have them but basically never carry or use them (tool of the devil you know). Mine is in the glove...

Details, man, details! Does she have a sister? After all we didn't clam up on you when we coulda. As far as that 'new employ' stuff, I still strongly recommend retirement. "The worst day fishing is better than the best day working" you know. OF

Good to have you around again. Good show you got back in time, some of the guys were planning on selling your gear and dividing up your stash. It was Ataxian's idea. OF

It can give you a useful battery level reading? IMO a big shortcoming of the Air. Even if you can 'read' the colors (which not all can) the most important part ('how close to out of gas are we?') is one big useless step? You've got one, or maybe two sessions left. Or none. Or part of one...

I'm with you there for sure. Small, lightweight and rugged are strong points along with the 'one hit at a time' idea. Heavier and/or more complex is going the wrong way. But 'longer battery life' is awfully attractive to sales types (after all, most buy before they heft? The only change I...

Thinking a bit more on this, while stir sticks are a good 'proof of concept experiment' I think they are not 'a tidy solution'? How about a clip on metal sleeve? Say a piece of metal tube as long as the Silicone tube it's supporting with a strip removed so it covers say 225 degrees? Enough to...

You're welcome. Yes, that's exactly what they mean, no regulation. They'd rather you not notice you have no real control (except when your recharge and how much). I wouldn't worry too much about too much power, just don't dial it up that high? My car can go way faster than I want to go...... OF

I'd start with the MSDS if the specifics concern you. But that misses the point, the material is a poor choice, there are better options. And for sure you've no guarantee that someone following your advice/recommendation are going to get 175F tube, they could just as easily get the common 140F...

They lie. It's PVC: "An industrially important example is vinyl chloride, precursor to PVC, a plastic commonly known as vinyl." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl "Vinyl is not a natural substance but is a synthetic man-made material. It is a type of plastic that is made from ethylene (found...

You may well be the first with a paperclip. Personally I use a safety pin (with the tip heated and bent). Size number 2 to be specific. Strong steel, sharp point and safely protected when stowed. Easy to get on and off. I generally stir with the spring end of it (closed up) not the tip...
