Did you check your junk mail folder? That's where mine went.

You can't say this as a general rule. What you can't do is pull more amperage than the battery is rated for or allow it to overheat or become undercharged. Whether it will overheat in 15 seconds depends on the scenario but that would require a massive current, pretty much a hard short...

Polarbearb'y 's the b'y that builds the boat ... Canadians (and Newfies) will understand

Part of the design goal was to use only inexpensive, off the shelf and unmodified parts. You could achieve what you want by drilling air holes in the stem or using a Y or T shaped lab glass connection. As you go down that path it gets harder and harder to build and source parts, but it's...

@4everpushingaboulder , I can't tell you how awesome that is, totally love it. Nicely done. What size of spade bit? :) Maybe I need a new pepper grinder...

@Karl_in_Chicago , I can see why you are a little irritated but in fairness I've never heard of a single case of this error that HR refused to replace. Should you have to deal with replacements, no, but shit happens. Your second unit came from a retailer which means you don't know what...

There is always some voltage drop in a wire, your extension would benefit from a heavier gauge. It won't do any harm, so long as the extension isn't too warm there is no danger and the Highlighter bulb doesn't care. If it's dropping 0.3 V at around 3 A that's 0.9 W of energy, probably not...

I had to look that up, it's the Swedish word for rosin. Don't be too worried about that either, rosin is just a mild acid made from pine trees that removes the oxidation layer from metals so that solder will bind properly. All electronics are treated with rosin or flux (they are essentially...

Don't worry too much about this, it probably has no impact at all on real world runtime of the battery. The circuitry is only capable of measuring voltage and uses that to estimate capacity. With a higher capacity cell it may give you incorrect information about how much capacity is remaining...

Ball modding has been a trend recently. For mine it's 100 -150 3mm corundum (ruby) balls poured into the glass heating cover so they sit between the ceramic heater core and the glass and held with a custom made SS screen. They act as a heat sink\source so you can take long hard draws without...

You mention microdosing and long sessions which seems like a contradiction. If you are looking for lots of wispy hits you want an Arizer portable, the Solo is one of the best for that usage pattern. Desktops tend to give hard, heavy hits. Some are good for single hits like the Ditanium or...

OK, for some reason I was imagining a honey comb retainer in the HLT main stem, which of course makes no sense at all. That's a lovely piece of glass and seems like a better price for what you get than most cooling stems.

Soak it in something lightly acidic like vinegar maybe?

There's a honeycomb version? I thought I read all the posts on this thread. What the hell is a honeycomb version? :) Direct draw must be pretty hot on the throat. How would you compare heat level to a direct VC hit?

Ummm, maybe? There must be some old MFLB's in that Neanderthal cave in France...

In addition to ChooChoo's advice it might help if you heat the stem a little bit with a hair dryer or heat gun (go easy). You want to warm the stem more than the screw as much as possible. If all else fails and the screw fully strips you can use a drill and screw extractor (that's what the...

For a different point of view: there is one in the house I've used a couple of times but wouldn't chose to use again unless every other vape was dead. In fact I would probably just smoke a bowl (and it's been years since I did) rather than bother with it. It made sense in it's day but...

Do you think they make this stuff out of arsenic and plutonium? If acrylic was harmful you would have died a long time ago. OK, just yanking your chain a little. No, definitely not harmful in the slightest at room temperatures outside of the air path. Acrylic is all around you in household...

I have several desktops but use a Splinter Z on an extension just as often because I can finish in less time than it takes the others to warm up. There is really no limit on hit size and efficiency is better than many desktops. The Splinters can only be found used (might be a few new ones...

I completely agree. You also don't want sudden aggressive cooling, that will lead to maximum condensation sticking to the walls. It's better to have more gradual cooling to keep the vapor droplets tiny and suspended in the air stream.
