While it's a good idea to explore such things, I think this might not be ideal for you since I 'sense' heavier than normal (volume wise) usage on your part. DV is a fun and effective unit, IMO. It's load size is, however, pretty small. And with extended (or even normal) use it can get mighty...

I smell a crowdfunding "save Ginger" thing coming. If we don't make the goal in time, Ginger meets Vulcan..... Is that ransom or blackmail? Or extortion? Or 'just good thinking'........ OF

Your call, of course. But my bud nipping reflexes are twitching. Helping herself to your gear is, like higher taxes, unlikely to get better over time. I suggest you consider getting in the habit of sitting on your wallet........... Until your replacement arrives, enjoy any Vapman you can...

Thanks for the kind words, glad to help when I can. Too bad you didn't know the tape trick before, makes a good makeshift bandage for that cut....... Yup, -113 not -112.....my mistake there. Full points to Stu for catching it right away. Very good point, only the ID is critical of course...

Just standby, it'll pass. Always does. You don't get many straight lines around here you know, best to not let one get past....... Glad you enjoyed it. OF

While some would say that's pretty harsh and you should just buy another one and give her another chance. Those people I think are all folks who've never tried Vapman? The true believers, OTOH, might think it's letting her off too easy. Perhaps you should have narc'd her out (even if that...

I'm also thinking there's nothing sacred about an o-ring. In fact, the shape is really all wrong for t he job (but it's very convenient). How about starting with a sheet of say 1/16 (or even .050) thick Silicone rubber and punch out some 'washers' with a pair of hole punches and a hammer? A...

Cool. Looks like you've got the secret hand sign down already! You do catch on fast, don't you? I think yer gonna fit in just fine around here....... OF

It should be noted that after a hit or two good bud will fuse into a solid plug (at least at the bottom) and you can turn it upright and still avoid the oven.......if that was the goal. For some, it's a ritual that can manifest itself many ways. Some pretty, some not so. Some best left behind...

I agree. I would never have bothered except the bent stem kept rotating by gravity when I wasn't looking. I've since gone to the straight stem for the most part, it's lost it's utility for me these days. For sure it's not worth messing with at all until the seal gets fully broken in. Until...

Same idea, as I understand it. It's just a bit thinner, not as yellow and takes a long time to dry? Again, that means bonding together like epoxy does. Or oil paint. Not so much evaporating solvent as 'setting up'. The processing mostly attacks that time issue. From what I know it should...

Bummer that. You've got to wonder why..... There are other options perhaps we should explore? The critical two factors are material and ID. For instance the -015 size is still nominal 9.16 ID (.551 vrs .549) but is only 2/3 the thickness of the -113 (1/16 vrs 3/32). Sounds like a change to...

Yeah, sorta. The old version does that. From 6.9 to 9.0 Volts it runs PA. Over 10.1 it charges. Between it flashes lights but does little else. Remember, while it only takes an Amp or so to charge, you need over 2.5 for PA. The current version is another story. No PA mode in the same...

Life is not fair. Let's be glad we had it? And the seeds are planted, hopefully the next maker down the road can build on that? Remember what Newton said, 'if I see further than any man before, it's because I stand on the shoulders of giants'. In the long run TV may well be the foundation on...

I think most find that? Another big advantage IMO is the combustion is always complete. This means nothing to (really) worry about for the health conscious amongst us (no nasty carbon monoxide and stuff) but it also keeps the heat exchanger from fouling with soot. Not that that is fatal, the...

You're using boiled linseed oil, right? That's the traditional wood finish although you can get raw versions as well.....they take much longer to dry. Which is why they 'boil' it. It doesn't boil as much as gets cooked in an oxygen free way. This makes "Stand oil", an intermediate step...

Sorry to discourage you, but don't quit your day job. There are no other carts with that thread. It's unique to TV. Seriously. They hoped it would be adopted based on the success of Cera. Nobody is going to make a cart for which there is no battery to thread it onto I think. I also think...

If you dig back far enough this has been discussed a lot. That is the 'right' ring but the caps on Solos vary, as does the height of the top of the oven to a lesser degree. I posted a photo of the difference in cap thicknesses, it's substantial. You have to be careful fitting the ring in any...

Yup, that bottle cap like thing below the stem on the web page is Ed's logo. IMO there is a slight taste advantage to some woods, but that rapidly disappears as the inner wall coats with condensate. After that it tastes like vapor.......which is fine by me. Gee, I sure hope not. At least...
