Look for posts by @FearAndLawyering , he's been building custom side by sides for a year or two.

I wish you good luck in the development. I have several home built vapes but no, that isn't something I would pay for, others might. I don't mind stainless steel in the airpath and the Splinter Z mesh heater works great. The Alumina in the Pinky design doesn't strike me as a health risk, not...

If this is your first use of the IQ2 it may not be the right vape for you, especially if you have a high tolerance. It's known as a "sipper" vape, not a big cloud producer. Don't pay attention to reviews and videos that show giant clouds, that's just marketing. There could be a problem with...

It's not clear exactly what problem you are trying to solve. Many desk top vapes use cylindrical ceramic heating elements. Are you suggesting a ceramic coated coil so the air isn't exposed to the metal of the coil?

The concerns with Aluminum are a link between it and Alzheimer's disease. That information was widely spread but later studies found some of those initial results to be questionable. At this point it's unclear to what extent elemental Aluminum in cookware and other scenarios like vaping should...

Overall your understanding seems correct. Many users feel an optimal heating time to click from room temp is 12 to 15 seconds. If it clicks faster not enough time was allowed for the heat to move around (as you said), too much slower and heat travels into the stem making the hit hotter but not...

You make a valid point about the safety of conductive grease anywhere near the air path but Vaseline is not a solution, it will make the electrical conductivity issues worse.

@Kudzu407 and @Cheebsy , thanks for the info. Looks like I'll be waiting for a while.

For those of you who recently got your email for purchase, when did you sign up? I joined the wait list in late Feb or very early March, haven't heard anything.

That's probably for the best. Sometimes when I disagree with someone I ask myself "does this person (or anyone reading) want to hear this message? Will it contribute to a positive change for them?" If the answer to both is no it is time to move on and forget about it.

People gripe here all the time, no problem. The main rule is that you can only do it once, the mods won't approve of an issue being brought up multiple times to try and "harm" a company. Start a thread under the Vaporization Discussion section, if it's a popular company be gracious when others...

This gets asked a lot but I haven't seen a home built version due to the complexity. For 5V USB you need a boost circuit to increase the voltage to battery charging levels. Here is a little board that will work for 1C LiIon charging (just as an example, it's not micro and 1C won't work for an...

I alternate between the Ghost MV1 (yes, still running strong), VapCap and Splinter Z. The plugins haven't been getting much use lately, I haven't had the patience for preheating.

Yeah, we are so close to 4/20 you will be better off waiting. I got mine with a Black Friday deal for I think $120, it might go close to that again (plus a premium for the world economy going to hell). I might not like my Wand quite as much if I had paid full retail.

@PutOneInTheAir , I'm another big fan of the Wand. I've built several IH's and love talking to people about building them but the Wand is what gets used day to day. I bought it impulsively and worried it was a mistake, it wasn't, it's great. Like many others I don't bother with an insert, I...

Put a heat shield on a HighLighter and that is pretty safe. If an SSV is too dangerous maybe heavies aren't for you :) (just teasing)

Hey @Vestratto, from a future potential customer I just want to say that you don't owe me anything. Not a weekly newsletter, not pricing, not materials safety info, nothing. Why not? Because I'm not a customer yet, we have no business relationship. I've given zero money and in return I am...

It looks handy...

I've also never heard of a "push cart". I won't pay more than $35 for a 1g cart in WA, even the good ones, and occasionally see them for $25. Prices vary state to state.

Do you literally smoke an average of 2 joints an hour, 16+ hours a day? That will have destroyed your taste buds (they can recover) so your experience of taste is likely to be very different from people who don't smoke. It will take a determined effort, that you won't always enjoy, to break...
