    Hard to tell from here........ It's easy to check, shine a bright light (like a flashlight) up the tubes one at a time from the bowl end, then look from the side (don't look at the flashlight directly) and see if the light comes through? OF

    You know, Kraft paper is the stuff you make paper shopping bags and cardboard boxes from..... While you can buy it at craft shops, even Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/b?node=490736011 I suspect a piece of shopping bag might be a good start? Or perhaps, better still, strip the outer jacket off...

    I think it's very cool. Perhaps you could flatten it out and scan/photo graph it so we could print out patterns? It would be lots of fun to be able to print some graphics on what will be the top........ OF

    Interesting. The burners in the ones I've messed with are pretty solid....perhaps softening of the plastic from excessive heat? Aside from that off center flames I've come across were caused by junk. I'd start with checking the lip of the burner main tube, I've seen junk on the lip force the...

    I don't have that one, but did have one like it without the cap. And that format, where you push down and the fire comes up parallel to that is common (like on Bic lighters). With VM (and to some extent VG) I found that an awkward thing, forcing me to twist my hand around in an 'unnatural'...

    Discontinued Tripperflask Portable Vaporizer

    Fun idea. I'm not sure how a spooker is much cover when it comes to stealth but I like it. It'll be fun to see the details come out with the pending questions. OF

    Paying yesterday might delay it a bit, but it's my understanding when we got the email with instructions for paying and did so our end is done. They just got shipped (without individual notices), and hopefully yours and mine are both on the way. OF

    Blazer lighters are good for sure, I own a couple now and have had others in the past. The did not, however, 'invent' piezo ignition torch type pocket lighters in 1980. I bought an earlier one about 1970 from a different maker. It was made along then conventional lines, like a Ronson of the...

    The Arizer Air

    I'm sorry for not being clear enough. If the original seal in Solo (not actually a gasket) was an issue for you (unlike most others) I'd be concerned about that with Air. The same material is used (it seems), there's even more of it and it's in a hotter location. Rare as your reaction to Solo...

    Generally piezo igniters are pretty fool proof in terms of generating a spark from the mechanical energy (as long as the crystal isn't broken physically which it seldom is), the issue is the spark is weak or misdirected. Soot and other contamination on the ceramic insulator is usually the...

    The Arizer Air

    I think he knows how different the 3 vapes (Solo, MFLB, and PAX) are from first hand experience. No need for outside opinions. The important part, I think, is 'if you didn't like Solo, you'll probably not like Air (even more)'? I get that lost of guys make the mistake about o-rings, but it is...

    The Arizer Air

    I disagree with that. IMO Air and Solo (which the OP objected to) are very very similar. I'd challenge anyone to pick one from the other blindfolded. Regarding the OP's question, this is a very subjective area. IMO very few owners find fault with Solo "faint plastic/rubbery taste". Given...

    Arizer Solo

    "It depends" (doesn't it always?). It depends on how deep the discharge before recharge and how balanced the cells were to start (the reason you overcharge the first time). It's usually not that tough on the battery (or there'd be a bigger stink made about it), but it does impact both total...

    The Arizer Air

    Thanks. This one has the same deal (of course). The thing you're not thinking of is when you flood the unit that area drains down too if it's upside down. The trap is stripped by the vacuum of draining the main chamber down. There is some 'on the outside' of the lower lock, of course, but...

    The Arizer Air

    That's a bummer, too bad they didn't think that part through? Sounds to me like the tube in the trap is too long (by 100%)? If they'd, instead, made it just long enough to retain the proper charge, it'd be just long enough to retain the proper charge (you'd have no trouble with overfilling as...

    The Arizer Air

    Sort of. I'm not worried about any sort of strain on the heater (in fact there's more with the cover since the average temperature is higher, that is the hottest part is the same temperature but everything else is hotter). And I'm not worried about the battery from a power standpoint, it's...

    The Arizer Air

    I agree with you, but tend to think of it more in terms of 'retains more heat than necessary'. IMO heat is to be avoided if long life is the goal. By way of support for this, it's common practice in Electronics to use 'burn in' (short runs at elevated temperatures) to weed out weak parts...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    Yeah, it can kind of creep up on ya for sure. Sorta like your jump shot, it slides so slowly down...... There's an old bit about frogs and pans of water. The Glyphs not only fix that, it's not just 'just like brand new' since it redefines what new should be like. I'll be buying more I'm...

    The Arizer Air

    Have you guys tried filling it from the bottom (bowl) end? That's how I fill this one: The trap at the top retains the right amount of water, everything else flows out. Takes a few seconds, works great. I'd hope they tuned the trap for this (as anti spill), but if not simply adjust a bit. OF
