    The Arizer Air

    Split the problem/remove variables.....standard troubleshooting stuff. I'd start with a clean stem, no screen or load. Then, depending on results either add a single variable or look for the problem in the smaller set of variables (stem or unit...). If possible I'd use the same stem that gave...

    Discontinued Elevape SV

    I think, in the general case, a very common mistake for folks to make is to base how well they think it's working on 'cloud production'. That's blazing, not vaping, thinking. The newer you are to vaping, the more likely this is the case. In the specific case of ESV, as opposed to other vapes...

    Try PV, they sell 'em too and are on your side of the border...... Arizer is too, right? OF

    Arizer Solo

    Yep, them's the ones. One of our fellow Members increased stealth even more with a piece of black heat shrink over the exposed glass part. Randy at PIU for me. $10 each shipped for the last 2 I bought from him: http://www.puffitup.com/Air-Glass-Aroma-Tube-p/arz.air-106_tube.htm OK, I lied...

    The Arizer Air

    I agree. The metal part sticks out and conducts heat upward that the glass never would. You can easily burn yourself in place that never would with glass, caution is advised. Are you ever in luck. Our own Carol King has this wired down tight. Standby, I'm sure she will pop up and set you...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    I think that depends on your perspective. Many years ago, a group of us from work were out to lunch celebrating 'cheap beer day' ($2 pitchers at the local Chinese Food/Pizza place......how's that for a strange ethnic mix?) a co worker quipped 'yeah, useless trivia is one of the many things he's...

    Clockwork/Wind-up powered vape?

    Still unclear. I suspect it depends on how big the child is and how many friends you have over? OF

    Clockwork/Wind-up powered vape?

    Fun idea, but as you guessed you're up against it I think. A human in good shape can be expected to produce about 1/15 HP for short periods. Human powered flight is based on this number IIRC. The good news is that's about 60 Watts, the bad news is to do it you need to use major muscle groups...

    The Arizer Air

    Gotta agree, great product and different than stock in many ways. But didn't you mean to say '.....the S/S chamber conducts heat...'? Glass will actually retain heat better/longer than SS. I also notice that the herb on the sides and deeper in the bowl vapes quicker, still not as fast as that...

    I think you're basically right. All the air that makes it to the load has to "enter by the heat chamber", that is through the holes on the bottom of the bowl. That air comes, it seems, either by the vents in the side or hole in the bottom for the most part. Some might also come though the...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    Yer welcome, glad you found it useful. Otherwise I'm wasting both our time........ Good question. You want, I think, to look at two things. First, 'specific heat', 'how many calories does it take to raise a gram a degree C?' coupled with density (how much volume does that gram occupy). What...

    Your call, I think. We're individuals. I, for instance, don't fear electronics vapor. Some do I gather. Mostly because I don't think there is an exposure any different that the air coming out the fan port on my computer, up through the monitor vents and out the back of the TV next to the...

    The Arizer Air

    I suggest you go read the thread some. I think you'll find the maximum temperature does a very effective job (or they'd have made it higher....right?). This is a whole other thing, Convection, than what most are used to. Don't expect the numbers to match. The hot air does a much more...

    The Arizer Air

    I tend to use three sizes: 54033, 54036, and 54038. 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 inch ID. The first fits the straw from HA, a short piece of which 'adapts up' for a 3/8 whip (which I like) and the last will fit over the plug (on the surface that seals on 14mm GonG fittings.....) with no straw at all (a...

    The Arizer Air

    Do Teflon pots and pans effect the taste of food? In the lab, nothing is measured and detection there is better by far better than most can smell/taste. PTFE is widely used precisely because it's inert at these levels. Still you have to feel comfortable with the safety. I, personally, don't...

    The Arizer Air

    Naw, you're not even the only guys to report it. And many more are sure to have noticed and not reported, and, of course, some will not have noticed for a host of reasons (including declining hearing with age....). The point is it happens, and is not fatal (absent the rumor above......). You...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    It's easy to say, because I reported what I found. Stability in idle temperature control is entirely different than how it responds to a hit. Your car's cruse control can hold highway speed quite well but slow down on a hill, right? Same thing. Where most temperature controlled vapes I've...

    The Arizer Air

    Yep, I think the general feeling is it's thermal expansion related, like some home heaters or electric stoves make when you turn them on. Vaping means some pretty high temperature changes, things change size/shape a lot really. I used to have a soldering iron that did the same thing every...

    The Arizer Air

    Not normal, but not uncommon. It's been reported several times in Air, more in Solo (same basic heater, been out longer). Nothing to worry about IMO. I don't, however, recall anyone tying it to a following failure. In fact there have been very few (if any) failures. Do you have a reference...
