    You're welcome, glad to help when I can......and I know 'the Q man' is cut from the same cloth. IMO it's very hard to go wrong with Ed's Stems. The fact it's packaged with a few rings (they last almost for ever) is a real bonus. Recommended buy. I own both an Ascent and several Solos...

    The 500F is the rating you want. The size, 113, is 13.94mm ID with a 2.62mm cross section. Hopefully you can match that. I'm guessing 14mm X something although it should be available as size 113. I suggest you dome the screen up a bit. This allows vapor to flow 'sideways' to get to a hole...

    Typical drying times are a few days, I suspect it's not a problem. "Drying" is really the wrong term, in that it doesn't so much evaporate solvent off like ink would, but 'polymerizes'. That is the molecules link to each other in a solid but not highly ordered mass. Like many plastics...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    That's great! I flashed on the scene from Blazing Saddles where Mel Brooks (as the Gov.) can't make the kid's paddle game work and says 'this thing's warped' where upon Hedley grabs it, bounces the ball perfectly and says 'right again, sir'. Cracked me right up, I had to take my glasses off to...

    I believe you're right. We could both be wrong, of course, but if you lie I'll swear to it? Linseed oil is processed flax seed oil (a dietary supplement). The processing involves some stuff you don't want to eat (although it's not really all that toxic as I understand). Or drink. However...

    The Magic-Flight Box

    Excellent point. I extend that to mouthpieces and vapor path as well. I don't want to be sucking in any spiders or rat droppings...... I'm sure most makers make a sincere effort to be sure stuff is clean before going out, but I figure I've got a bigger stake in that part than them? I'd be...

    Save your gas. While the size is standard (No. 112), the material is quite special. You need 'high temperature silicone (500F)' all of which seem to be red in color (usually so inspectors can spot them). It is definitely not a Home Depot part, the much cheaper black ones they sell are much...

    I agree. DART remains an all time favorite personally. Not enough difference between it and Revolution to worry about IMO. Both tough to build, but solid performers done right. Unfortunate it (and others of 'the old products' like T1 and Evolution) died in the birth of Cera but you have to...

    Discontinued Thermovape Cera

    Excellent point. Ironically some might also say too bad they didn't hold off and do some more testing so they could have uncovered and solved the switch and fit issues before they got into so many customer's hands. The 'back and forth' was not a situation that could last. The cost of warranty...

    Discontinued Thermovape Luna

    Hey, be sure that was never a TV product nor was it ever tested unless from the days before T1. The reason it's so cheap is it's e-cig parts.......no doubt in the land of cheap labor and few standards. I'd pass. If you want to play with that sort of stuff, Delta 9 (KISS cart), and Dabbler...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    Not needed as much as a simple modification that 'everyone' finds is an improvement. And cheap enough. IMO you should at least try. That's real vapor drifting out the bottom of the unit, quite normal. No 'fix' except to hit it....... BTW let it soak between hits (try a full minute). An...

    Ascent Vaporizer by DaVinci

    I too had trouble with it before it loosened up and 'pinching it' between thumb and middle finger tips (nails under the lip) became effective. Before that I found that using a finger nail to pull out the loading tool (easy to do) and using that as a lever to get the stem started up (short end...

    Someone has to play the class nerd I guess. I'm hoping to increase our collective understanding of the physics that controls our favorite devices.......and hopefully a few smiles along the way. The overall goal remains helping others make informed choices I think. That rests on useful...

    Great post, and story. Thanks. However, the top line above is actually dead wrong, counter intuitive as that is. Black things radiate heat best of all. This is why heat sinks on electronic parts and your car radiator are black. Shiny stuff is just the opposite. It's shiny because light...

    You mean like the one on Luna, problematic as it is for some? OF

    Specifically I was talking about the idea that the current plastic is sub standard and causing the problem. A common belief for sure, but IMO not supported by history or logic. IMO a design change, not the plastic material, is needed. OF

    Thanks. Wow, strange indeed. Are you sure it has small holes and won't run while charging? Too bad you don't have a PA to try. Some of us will think you truly scored there if so.......... I call strawman! What 'good plastic' to fix what problem? Haven't broken corners been with us well...

    Very interesting. You bought it new? About when? The 'open box' (return) units I got from PIU were all 'old type' (although one appeared new), but it's been a long time since I recall someone buying a new unit of the old style...... Did you buy it from a major Dealer (any chance it's old...

    Close enough for Jazz...... A minor correction on the last bit: light 7 comes on solid (flickers a bit sometimes) but the charge light is still flashing (it goes solid when 'full'). You want to grab it before the flashing charge light goes solid. How's that for confusing? A good guideline...
