    @Hippie thank you for the information. That helps and I understand your structures you describe.

    Ah, yep, that sounds like my Launch Box exactly in manner of temperature regulation. And I've certainly flamed that one out once or twice. ..oh snap - just had a vision of a 'Night Light Orbiter' :rolleyes:

    Consumption is pretty straight forward for me. Almost too natural! :\

    Now I get it... and cooling beads ... and that must be a red o-ring-held mouthpiece I'm looking at to finish things off. Thanks for completing the chain :) Effects, ...I mean understanding is setting in now! @blokenoname Ha! Snortin' Herb into the draw tube! What's next :rockon: So let...

    Aha.. went back to #19 and saw the rheostat. @Squonk , how do you use this particular setup? Sorry, I know this is a very novice question but I still have a lot of vagueness on how herb can be placed in the heat path on these setups. I see a big glass 'bowl (?)' on your tray there. Can you...

    Vape Carts Health Crisis Megathread

    There was a time when manufacturers were loath to make -any- change to product save there be an unexpected anomaly. Today it seems a contest to see who can initiate the most changes to a product in the interest to make more money. Cheaper materials, cheaper 3rd party suppliers, cheaper...

    Understood, @blokenoname . Yes, I am after portable. Understood about the power too. Just getting into Arduino programming where I can see making an intelligent supply voltage and even ramp profiles. I am also considering a thermister for a temp read-back (simple miniature glass bulb on 2...

    Muad-Dib Concentrate Box

    I've been working a battery solution for the Launch Box power adapter. I purchased a set of the replaceable screens for Muad-Dib just to see if concentrates are a viable option for me. What I wanted to report here is that the current required for glowing a Muad-Dib screen using a V1.0 PA is...

    Vape Carts Health Crisis Megathread

    Don't forget the possibility that this is actually linked to an undisclosed device or component. How often do you think someone would admit their stupidity with a DIY vape utilizing really dangerous materials and applying excessive amounts of heat or worse, volatile particles created from a...

    Sweet, thanks! Maybe I'm off here but wouldn't 20W into a 35 watt bulb still produce the same heat? Or am I throwing away power somehow? Basically I will be putting less voltage to get to 20W. It may even get me down to the 7.4V range for a dual 18650 Li-Ion solution. I'm not an EE but...

    Vape Carts Health Crisis Megathread

    Just when I wanted to give concentrates a try. Seriously, this is scary stuff. On the one hand I appreciate the USA's stance on legal herb in certain states but the lack of regulation, or even the full understanding of these processed products and the ramifications is something that is unheard...

    Looking through available 12V halogen bulbs I found there are 35W versions that looks to be what the 20W form-factor is. I'll have to go do some shopping but if true, that does provide potentially higher outputs without enlarging the tube. Edit: 35W bulb ordered. Question; Considering I am...

    @Squonk - Genius! :) Basically, a heat radiator that provides surface area and air flow.

    Great info, thank you @blokenoname ... I should be able to find something locally if not a salvaged piece.

    Sockets ordered :nod: @blokenoname - What is the source for the stainless tube if you please? @Squonk - Are you using the stainless mesh (0.5 x 10 x 50) to transfer heat from the bulb to the tube?

    I really like this simple concept. Did you say you are running unregulated?

    Muad-Dib Concentrate Box

    @Stu Love the mod! That just makes so much sense. Just got screens for my disabled LB. Now to find a concentrate and figure this thing out.

    The use of PTFE

    Interesting that we're talking about PTFE when the cylinder heaters have far more potentially nasty stuff inside. Am I correct to assume the intake air in the video above is at the electronics chamber or is there a fresh air path somewhere that I missed? I also don't consider Li-Ion cells to...
