In the VapeXhale Cloud track you recently asked about aerogels. Aerogel blocks or pieces, such that you could hold, for other than the most cost-insensitive applications, such as defense/aerospace, are somewhat over-hyped, with similar silica-based microporous insulation (such as from...

How does the MZ output pipe (and inhalation stems/tubes) compare in size to other similar vaporizers, such as the PD? Can the inhalation stems/tubes from one be used with the other? I presume that output pipe and inhalation stem/tube dimensions, which directly affect air flow and delivery, are...

What is the status of insurers, private and government, providing coverage for (reimbursing) vaporizer purchases by medicinal cannabis users in states, e.g., California, where certain prescription use has been (quasi)legalized? Do insurers provide coverage for vaporizer purchases for use with...

Since it is a conduction vaporizer, the material in contact with the heated metal screen will get the hottest, with everything else, including the majority of hebal material heated to lower temperatures, if at all. The herbal material not directly in contact with the heated screen would only...

Has anyone tried fritted (sintered) glass disks as vaporizer filters? For example, see http://www.wilmad-labglass.com/group/1213 ; funnels at http://www.ilpi.com/inorganic/glassware/frittedfunnel.html and http://www.adamschittenden.com/Frit_info.html . These are porous foamed glass disks...

The PowerEx (Maha) 2700 mAH batteries also work very well. And Maha has a good reputation for battery technology and quality, like Sanyo. For chargers, also consider the Maha/PowerEx MH-C401FS (see http://www.mahaenergy.com/store/item.asp?idproduct=178). It is microchip controlled, and...

You might consider taking a new Magic Flight Launch Box and not taking it on the return flight -- consider it disposable. This is a relatively expensive and wasteful option. However, it may not be, considering the costs of airfare and travel. Maybe you could leave it with someone wherever you...

It looks as though you have, in all practical terms, reached your goal of attaining steady state temperature control under user-like conditions. Five degrees variation sounds negligible, trivial, in the context of the many things happening and dynamic variables (aerodynamics, heat...

We may be expecting too much from startup vaporizer companies. Most just don't collectively have the resources and business expertise/savviness one would hope they would have (or need). Many vaporizer startups are just one or a few person operations, with some or many run part-time by people...

Hippie Dickie: I want to congratulate you on the innovations and progress you are making. Can you post pictures and/or explain how the vape is actually used? The heater looks great. But how does vapor get from the bottom of the heated test tube within the heater to the user's lips/mouth...

What actually causes the Zap (and perhaps also the PD) to get hotter with time? Is the resistance of the heating element somehow changed, the power supply drifting upward in voltage, wood drying out and insulating better, or what?

I continue to be amazed at the level of engineering and effort put into the design and construction of your products. It sounds like your upcoming power supply will be truly unique and innovative. Currently, I would expect a power supply with this high current to be a heavy, desktop power...

magicflight: Presuming it is not a trade secret, can you describe the LB's power requirements, such as the voltage and current provided by your upcoming external power supply? Is the power consumption of the LB replicable with variable DC power supplies, or do batteries provide power in a...

A piece of stainless steel with the proper electrical resistance could be used. I still have what I recall was called a Pneuma, a small capped steel tube with an inner tube, with this having two side rods allowing it to connect to a Radio Shack soldering gun. The inner tube is the heating...

Hippie: Rather than drilling holes in glass test tubes, have you ever considered using fritted (porous, sponge-like) glass disks, i.e., using these as a screen, much as you might use a metal screen to hold the herbal material? These are commonly used in laboratories for filtration. The disks...

Trixer: First, you are going to have to make a number of fundamental, all-important decisions about what type of vaporizer you want and how you are going to build it. Low-power (e.g., 12 volts) or high-power (120 volts)? What basic approach - convection, conduction, a combination? Hand-held...

Katilsday: It could be something as simple as irritation by compounds not present in high concentration with whatever inhalation method(s) you were using before. Something could be causing irritation that was simply covered up, not detectable or broken down before, particularly if you were...

What are the options to deal with the seeming inevitable loosening up of the copper battery-contacting ring? I've had several Launch Boxes. With use, both eventually started to act more funky in terms of the battery making contact with the ring. Probably like many others, without thinking I...
