    Good plan. Don't forget 'one for the other hand'........better get 3? I have several and have made several converts to vaping by the sneaky trick of loaning them one 'to try out'...... OF

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    Thanks, sounds like it's in process. I'm sure they're too smart to move forward until Vicki's on board....... FWIW when I've been involved in such projects in the past we'd set a deadline (say a week or so out) to get the list ready to go, then go with the names we had confirmed. Then follow...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    Perhaps, but I kinda doubt it. As I understand it they still haven't made contact/got addresses and name from the rest of us? Logically (and I believe was stated by DV?) they'll go out as a batch, but that means collecting/verifying addresses. Are there still folks who haven't done that...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    There's a rule somewhere 'all great ideas have been tried'? The 'smell proof' soft cases I tried (often with a pocket to hold papers.......yuck!) were 'sub wonderful' leading me to plastic containers. The problems I found were two fold, you're pretty much confined to round containers (square...

    Naw, weed tipped condom. Prototype testing was unsuccessful, never made it to Beta testing...... This comes up from time to time. First off, we're not sucking in 400F hot air and vapor mix, it cools a lot before we get involved. The real heat (in calories) carried by the vapor isn't much...

    I stand corrected. No, make that sit corrected? Then again science/high tech often appears as magic? I suggest in the end we all agree it's an excellent tool for releasing the magic from our favorite herb.........thermodynamics in play not withstanding. OF

    Great, glad you got it sorted out (although I'm not 100% clear on how jamming one port makes a huge difference....) but I think there's an easier/safer way? Since the 3 "rings" seal so well to a stem, why not just insert an empty stem, lift it up a bit, and honk on that? The effective...

    While I agree, a guy should get one, try it out, and make up his own mind I don't agree "conduction or convection" hasn't been resolved. Last I recall those hanging on to convection lost out on the idea that the tubes heated the air to provide the heat to the load (heating the tubes alone...

    I suggest you start stock, then experiment with screens. Do not, repeat, do not install the o-ring (there are two sizes......at least....) until you understand things. It (the mod) is not intended to do any more than keep the bent stem from rotating, rushing into it because you 'read it on the...

    Wasn't in Vanderbilt that responded to 'how much does your yacht cost?' with "If you have to ask, you can't afford it"? Later adopted by Jag salesmen to answer 'what kind of mileage does it get?" Kidding aside I recall no mention of projected price. IMO that means it's fair game to...

    I have both, and definitely agree the two techniques are different. Very different. To the level I honestly don't think skills with Lotus will be useful with VM. Seriously. VM is much easier IMO. It's much easier to get heating 'down right' without the distraction of taking the hit...

    No, you're not alone. Here's my post on the topic from an hour or so ago on the Solo thread including the reason (shape of the bottom of the bowl) and fix (modifying the lip profile): http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/arizer-solo.3833/page-1327#post-768173 OF

    Fun trivia bit (at least to me): In the last big disagreement with their German neighbors (WWII) the Brits had a problem with WACs (Women military personnel) using their (required) gas mask cases to carry typical purse stuff rather than the gas mask issued. Purses were, of course, forbidden...

    That's an affirmative your last regarding orientation, the photo has the dome 'out' (right). Most guys go this way I think, although it works fine as a cup rather than a dome. This has the advantages of keeping the four ports clear without reducing the flow (screen blocks part of the path if...

    While there are a lot of home made dome screens in various posts, probably the best was suggested by our own Sinclue. Here's a post with the link to his original post (and the source of them on EBay), complete with a photo of one installed in an Air stem...

    The PVHES (no need for 'stems', that's what the S is....) is made from the stock Solo stems and is therefore the same length as them. Solo stems, not Air stems which they predate. Looked at the other way, PVHES existed before the Air. So the Air stem is shorter, not the PVHES longer? The...

    I know that one. They leave home and never write you, don't return your calls....... Not to worry, when they need money, you'll get a chance to get caught up. OF

    Don't doubt it a bit. OTOH I don't think that's the typical owner's experience at all? MFLB is frail and demands some caution. It's also modest in performance and makes a poor choice for those with higher tolerance I think. A very individual thing. Given the low cost, and generally very...
