Taste is actually a good reason to use water filtration sometimes - when you cut down on the harshness of the hit, sometimes the fainter herbal notes come through better. In some ways it's like having your taste buds less distracted by the harshness and more able to discern the different flavors...

I would say that one way of addressing the wants/needs of vaporizer manufacturers is to look at the most basic differences between the act of vaporizing versus other methods of ingestion... Vaporizing is: -more efficient than smoking -much tastier than smoking -more discreet than smoking -more...

Something of note about the way butane is manufactured: Almost all the commercial butane produced is made in one of two factories in South Korea... It's a byproduct of the petroleum industry, and the filtering process is as follows: The butane is passed through adsorptive filter media - that...

Is the chat broken? Each time I try, I get the following: 22:41 +++ gn0me set to mode +Wix 22:41 You are banned from the channel #fuckcombustion Also: [22:41] == #fuckcombustion Cannot join channel (+b)

Culinary torches RULE. The butane is much cheaper and they're designed to work with the cheap stuff, so the jets don't clog from use... check out: http://www.amazon.com/Iwatani-Torch-Burner-Professional-Cb-tc-pro/dp/B0027HO3XO/ref=cm_cr_pr_sims_t...

In a torch flame, the inner cone (the dense, bright blue section that looks like a laser) is actually the coldest part of the flame - it's all unburned fuel gas and air. The hottest part of the flame is just after where the tip of the inner cone ends, when all that unburned fuel actually starts...

I'll be most interested to see what you think of my vapes versus the vapocane. The $50 GonGnome comes with a mouthpiece for portable use, so that's one major difference, along with the longer/narrower bowl section, which is better for use when the unit is horizontal... due to the different heat...

I think that must be taking some license with the term "manufactures and distributes" I wouldn't be surprised if they made some in the US, but my ES1000 is labeled "Made in Japan"... all I can find are the same way - it's all quality, though. Edit to add: some of the models do have a candle...

Honest is probably the best brand on Dealextreme - Of the cheap Chinese torches, at least they have a name... the value for the price is definitely high. Blazer makes excellent torches, and they're made in Japan instead of China, so there's a measure more quality there. Most of the Honest...

Bio's right there - each has its ups and downs, but what's right for you depends on what you're willing to give up/put up with versus what you gain. Of course, I'm going to have to tout my own products - you'd be hard pressed to find a better flavor in a portable vape. But, since it relies on a...

There's always a tradeoff... Convection is the best tasting, most efficient method of getting vapor, but heating a heat exchanger to heat air requires a pretty large amount of energy. Doing so quickly is even more energy intensive, so you have options... The MFLB has a rechargeable battery...

Thanks for the review, Bana - I'm glad to see you're enjoying your glassware! I'll get back to ya on the male heater - it's further away from the bowl area so will require more heat, but it should work otherwise - the wider bowl area in the female will need to be held upright, though... I'll...

I got halfway through college for engineering, then I ran out of money for tuition (and I didn't really want to be an engineer any more anyway) so I decided to start lampworking as a profession... I've always wanted to find a use for those damn handles, but aside from using them as handles again...

For anybody having trouble with Ronson JETLITE lighters, some of them come badly adjusted. There is a stop on the adjustment screw, made of metal, with a soft plastic stop. If you can't seem to get a good flame out of it, you may benefit from the following: Make sure you're working on an empty...

Funnily, my vape's rather new - I've been making the Classic vape the longest, at about a year and 9 months... there have been several iterations, starting with point handles (bits of scrap glass left after making another blown object - thin and tapered) which is how I first tested the concept...

Heya Meph, That was the cobalt blue one, right? The package should have included 1 heat exchanger, 1 mouthpiece, and 1 adapter for 19mm to 14mm - was there a classic vape in the box too? If so, what color? lol xD

With the GonG vape, you can use retained heat, but the hit is a bit uneven, since the heat exchanger heats up and cools down quickly... I find it best to use it just like the classic vape, continuing to heat while breathing in. One helpful bit I've forgotten to mention is that you don't need to...

The best thing to do is to install granite countertops. Problem solved!!! Joking aside, try setting the heat exchanger onto the beads of the mouthpiece. They should keep it from rolling around while giving enough space to keep the hot parts off of the table :)

I'm glad y'all are enjoying your vapes and finding creative new ways to use them! I have a padded pouch in the works for the classic and ground glass vape... so far two tailors have flaked out on me though so it's hard to get them into production O_o I like your idea on the eyeglass case with...

^sweet pic! I make that GonGnome adapter for 14mm or 19mm ground glass joints, by the way. Pictured is ABV's 19mm in purple.
