So it vaporizing as we know it, but the heating and hitting happen at the same time? Still plenty cool of course but not like VM (where you heat then hit)? The only Opium pipes I've seen have all be open bowl, long affairs like long cigarette holders turned up at the end and flaring out...

"Doc, it hurts when I raise my arm up like this" "Don't raise your arm up so high". Good call, sounds like something to avoid to me. Last time I cleaned mine I used PBW on it. Broke it down, put it in a jar with a dash of it and the hottest water from the kitchen sink. Shake a bit and dump...

Yeah, that 'prior art' thing can kill the party. The "not obvious" test. I love the above photo. Thanks for posting it. Do I understand right: The goods go in the black metal part which is heated to vaporize them inverted (or at least rotated) from what I see? That is black part down in the...

Or pop that part in the kitchen oven and crank it up? As the paper chars it'll contract like our favorite herb does. If it doesn't fall out, a toothpick should make short work of what's left after heat 'breaks it down'. If it's a paper towel, be sure to test first, some have plastic and other...

That doesn't impact my opinion that it's the right thing to do, for the reasons stated. Perhaps you know something more than I do? OF

Having been involved in this from 'both sides' I'm a firm believer that Beta Testers should be confidential and unknown to each other. The 'group size' for most such tests is very small from a statistics POV anything that might compromise the objectivity of those few (on whom so much counts) is...

Stand up and PROUD! Those who know the true value of a backup Air understand values. A reliable tool for good. OF

Just one? OF

Of course 12 Watts is not a practical level to make vapor with DC, but from a troubleshooting POV it provides insights to what's going on. Sort of like 'taxi testing' a new airplane? Running it 'on the bench' should reveal the time constant of the heater and other good stuff. Often such...

Most folks fears are genuine, the really do fear, but often as you suggest are based on incomplete understanding......then again, caution is good? Not all fluxes have Fluorides (or Chlorides). Nor are they even used in many cases (I suspect here since there is not contamination involved)...

The solder in question is where the leads attach to the ceramic doughnut itself. A tiny connection were spot welds are sometimes used to make connections with the metal film deposited on the doughnut that actually makes up the heater element. The glazing (glass coating) on the doughnut covers...

Yep. BTW you can get them machined from sold stock (rather than stamped out of wire like the normal ones) so they come with a better handle, like this one...

But I have, it looks like this: The discussion at the time centered around concerns about the cement used, the V3 isn't going to have any since folks were concerned. I sure don't see any reason to do so, the cement is basically cold and way away from the action IMO. There are 'lesser...

There are a lot of 'better quality' vape pens to pick from. A long time, respected source is Vapor Brothers, the Dabbler being an example. New on the scene, and IMO worth considering are the Linx Hypnos and Yocan Evolve. I've been using them and have yet to find reason not to recommend either...

Could have, although there are probably easier, more reliable, ways to get ear canal infections? Mighty handy indeed. I buy them in bulk and hand them out to friends like candy to kids on Halloween. I also have modified a couple over time. One is chisel like, with the 'spoon' part mostly cut...

Sure, they're common in most of the world I think. They're used to clean ears and give ear Doctors fits. You can get them on EBay or Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Silver-EarPick-Removal-Cleaner-Health/dp/B00JGOYJAS?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage...

Yes, but not as well. The SS is a bit larger and 'more sticky' than the smooth glass. Be careful on hot stems, they are not rated for high temperatures. You can buy high temperature versions (I've listed the MC link a few times) which are rated for full temperature for like 15 minutes. They...

Gentle Friends, I did some interesting reading on this 'who is Joytech and why is Evolve suing them?' thing. I think I know a little more well enough to pass on. In September of 2014 Evolve got a 'kitchen sink' patent they claim gives them rights to variable power and TC use in vapes (or...

I think we all understand the shop around the corner shutting down, what with you dropping by all the time, no way are they going to be able to keep fresh glass in stock....... The other shop has clearly lost it's protection.....they're next. I'm not sure we should use 'Smoke' if we want to...

It will if you don't push too hard, right? That is dial it down to a few Watts and it's fine? It's been a while since I poked at this, I still have to dig out my '510 jig' so I can run a DC up on a bench supply and check out what's going on. My current theory (great pun, eighwhat?) is...
