    The Magic-Flight Box

    It depends on technique and load of course, but with practice I think most of us probably get like two trenches to a charge? You have to change technique some to keep performance more uniform, but it's part of the game I think. But, I think starting out you should remove such variables. I...

    The Arizer Air

    Funny, I've been thinking of this as well (not that I have a real need for such) but I was thinking the ideal would be a clear 'doughnut shaped' tank. That is a tall ring that would slip over the stem up to the plastic part, and be partially filled with 'juice' and wicking....... OF

    Ideally you need a tool called 'snap ring pliers' like these: http://www.amazon.com/TEKTON-3578-Universal-Snap-Pliers/dp/B000NPPAUC/ref=lp_553326_1_2?s=power-hand-tools&ie=UTF8&qid=1422901185&sr=1-2 With the tips in the holes on the ring, you rig it so closing the handles moves the tips...

    I did. I shifted from ISO to PBW: http://www.amazon.com/PBW-Five-Star--1-lb/dp/B0064O7XBA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422893310&sr=8-1&keywords=powdered brewery wash You can also order it from Home Brewery supplier, or from such a store if one is local. Doesn't smell or burn, is 'green' so you...

    Beats me. As I said in the referenced post, "One word of caution, there are 3 standards of pin diameters in this body size, no telling which this is, but it seems a solid enough mate to me.". That hasn't changed. I still don't know. And I sure have no idea about the fit of the one in the...

    The usual technique is to start the wrap at an angle 'from above' (outside the joint area) holding it with your thumb until you get the first wrap on (why you start at an angle....). Then a turn or two more times (never more than 3 layers over threads) and put tension on the last turn. It's...

    There are 3 kids of 'plumber's tape' you're likely to find in the hardware store. A long metal strip with holes for hanging pipes, thick black (usually) sticky back tape for protecting buried pipes and narrow (typically half inch) very thin ribbon of PTFE (Teflon) with no adhesive. The last is...

    To turn the beep on and off start it up and hold the left key (up) down for about 5 seconds. If it was off you get a test beep, if it was on you get a test silence (yeah, I know.....). It should take roughly the same time to heat unless the battery is on it's last legs. It slows with charge...

    Pizza not Grasshoppers

    I don't mean to sound discouraging, but IMO no pizza joint in Colorado is going to deliver you a pie in NYC unless you tip really, really, really well...... OF

    But Nietzsche tells us "out of chaos comes order", perhaps a bit of faith is in order here? Then again, he's dead now...... Pizza! How long until some smart capitalist starts a 'magic pizza' delivery in Colorado? Love it! I notice you've left plenty of room at the bottom to list...

    Seems so out of place when there's a month that doesn't even have 30 days 'next door'. Unfair I say. In a more fair world no months would get more than 30 days until all 12 had 30 to start. And they'd share the extra 5.24 days, rotating each year. That's what the metric system would...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    This is why I have high hopes for this. I think if we take out say half the volume, but are careful to leave the best/fastest to heat, we can get the same performance in a shorter time from less herb. What's not to like about that? OF

    Well, you can try, but it sure don't do much good....... Better to be an wise old guy than an old wise guy, or so I'm told. And not to cloud the issue, the original idea was yours? OF

    Actually that's not the case IMO. It's in the range I was looking for (about .125 grams, 1/8 of a gram). And it redistributes the load so more of it is near the walls (the core heats last and recovers slowest which it why it's 'underdone' compared to that facing the cup. I'm rethinking that...

    A while back Sinclue his own self suggested some preformed screens, pricey by some standards at a buck each: http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/the-arizer-air.16415/page-96#post-730350 I'm here to say this time he is exactly right! Outstanding little guys, perfectly formed and trimmed round...

    Well then you're still smoking. You haven't made the break, and what's more you've made it all the harder to do so. The Lady knows what she's talking about, it's no secret around here, we've all been through it one way or another. Smoking is revolting when you get right down to it. Few would...
