Fun idea, from the long past, but still 'alive'? It's not impossible to get a fan into a sealed system, it's done all the time. Either go with a sealed motor ("explosion proof") inside the system, or use magnets to transfer the mechanical motion through the jacket. At the low pressures we're...

Ignoring the sin of saying 'smoke' instead of the correct term (notice the Forum name) you've got a serious problem with this plan, it's only partly oil. It's been diluted with VG, PG or both so it will feed in modified (or even 'barefoot') e-cig carts. Only a fraction of the fluid there is...

I don't know, I've never tried it. I've got some on order (I think....) and will test it in due time. While on one hand cleaning the shower is a suggested use, there are also reports/advice/warnings about scratching glass cooktops. My assumption is it's much easier to see there than in the...

No, that's not what it says. It says 'there is a 19 Volt charger available'. It would still charge to about 8.4 Volts same as the mains or car charger does. Trying to charge to 19 Volts would be fatal on the batteries, so their protection PCB would prevent it. And yes, I built such a charger...

Thanks, and you're welcome, of course. And good catch on the quote.......let's hope it works out better for GH than it did for Papa Mao? He's dead now, you know.......and no longer very popular...... OF

As the Q man points out there actually has been at least one 'pen style true convection' vape and heat is an issue. Evolution came with a cumbersome heat shield (doubling or a bit more the diameter) that was only partially successful at isolating the very large amount of heat that was generated...

You might luck out, I sure did. I ordered a silver one last time and got one without a scratch I could find, zero herb debris, very strong battery and no 'weed smell' at all. None. I suspect it was never even tried out? The big question is, of course, who gets first pick? You or the fishing...

Yeah, but not before I ordered yet another one. I went with the $75 'good grade' rather than the $55 'poor' ones in the hopes of getting a pretty one. If so, I think I know just who I'm going to give it to (obviously someone I don't like $160 worth.....). Great opportunity to get a backup or...

So it was a guess? Thanks for clearing it up. No 'battery level meter' on Air? Yep, it's just as early over here. Being retired I get to sleep when I want to....... BTW, I recommend retirement. OF

Indeed? How is this done? I thought we'd decided there was no battery level indication with Air (unlike say Solo)? TIA Otherwise, yes, a voltage reading on the battery will indicate the state of charge. About 4.2 Volts 'full', close to 3.0 when completely discharged (per Centigen)...

Get yer snouts in before the trough goes empty guys........ OF

You mean like the TV Revolution/DART? It uses a porous ceramic 'doughnut' core around the heater (which is wound on a very reflective, basically inert rod of Zirconia (a sort of 'super ceramic'). There's also a flat plate of the same reservoir material on the top. Very fiddly to make, but...

Funny the difference in perspective, I don't see it as 'interesting' as much as 'logical' or 'reassuring'. It fits the symptoms IMO....often a useful troubleshooting tool. I don't think the batteries (actually technically "cells") are trashed, although we've certainly not done them much good...

It won't run without a (working and charged) battery. The charger can only supply about 1/4 the needed power (which is why I said "A depleted battery will keep it from working 'even when plugged in'", a missing battery is like the ultimate depleted battery.....). If you know the battery was at...

At the bottom of the charge. When you're close to the end, the extra load of trying to heat can push it over the line. Again, how confident are you the batteries are sufficiently charged? If in doubt I suggest charging for a couple hours and trying again? A depleted battery will keep it from...

Yes, I bet over a hundred of us do. It's been discussed a LOT. First off, you should not be putting an o-ring in if you have a brand new unit. You should have a reason past 'I read it on the web' to do any such modification I think. That said, you can't just bung one in and call it done...

Cool. Yer welcome. Just keep an eye on sticky stuff around that switch button. I'm not a coffee drinker, but suspect Java beans don't stick the switch button up like 'dank herb' does....... For me, that was 'the weak link'. Oh, BTW, have a plan ready better than the one I tried. When it...

I suspect so. They're common 'vinyl caps', the nominal size is 1/2 inch. Like these: http://www.amazon.com/JEGS-Performance-Products-50-Piece-Includes/dp/B007VRF03W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420647043&sr=8-1&keywords=vinyl+caps Sometimes you find them in auto parts stores as well, as they're...

I had one of those before the current one. I got tired of fighting the area under the hub (which does collect herb), which is why I changed and now recommend the Proctor Silex one instead. FWIW I also had trouble with the linterlock switch. Sometime it was hard to get on because of dust, once...

Yes, as I've said a couple times, I'm measuring the actual charging current and therefore know the charge state in the last 10% or so very accurately. The real levels, not what displays, which can be 'soft' as you say. Cell phones, laptops, cameras and other stuff like that has to 'learn' what...
