    Thermal Accumulator by phattpiggie

    Sorry, misunderstood! My reason for sometimes wanting to hit as much of the compounds out the herb in one go, is very much due to the difference in effect I get, from taking it in over a longer period. It's little to do with the physical aspects of the vaping, but very much more to do with how...

    Thermal Accumulator by phattpiggie

    This is very dependent on the person. Apart from the different state of peoples lungs (from abuse, or just plain unlucky), some people are very sensitive to certain terpenes, and even some of the terpene degradation products. My guess is that the temperature effects the coughing severity more...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Nah, one of the reasons I try to be as clean as possible is to avoid having to do that! I'm one of those idiots who can work out what's happening in theory, but then on taking something apart, I inevitably lose something, put it back together to find an extra component in my hand! Etc etc! Or...

    vaping using vap cotton

    As this is pretty new it seems (with cannabis vaping), there's not a lot of info around on this, but it seems the nicotine vapers have been using for a while and much more familiar, maybe trying some of those forums and sites may also give some suitable examples of 'clean' wadding suitable for...

    Thermal Accumulator by phattpiggie

    It was my impression too, very similar devices in essence, but the way they work is quite different, especially the heat capacity and profile of the different heads. But then I can also see that if push came to shove and I hadn't the money for both, then one would certainly fill my needs. But...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    This is interesting that some are getting their spherical heat capacitors a little scruffy! For whatever it's worth (little most likely!), the inside of the heater, where the bowl sits, looks like new, and the balls as best I can see with a strong light, show no staining or marking at all. I...

    Great post! Thanks @VapingYogi! And those sentiments are so much in my way of thinking too! I absolutely LOVE the thoughts and talk about the science of it all, but when it comes to actually making something, or making a controlled change for a particular effect, it's so much too complex for us...

    The Screwball by Vapvana

    Honestly it's not the way to look at it. There are all three heat dissipation modes, conduction being one, but they change from one to the other, and all though it's useful to tag certain techniques with a name, calling it conduction or convection isn't explaining the physics of it. The real...

    Jeez! Yet more 'pest porn! I'm gunna go blind at this rate! There's hairs on my palms already! 😲 Just curious, but what temp setting are you using, and is that up to the flashing light ending, or all the way to the time-out on the Wand?

    Well definitely beyond mine! 100% 🤣

    Ball vape with ss balls and induction heating

    Thanks, good link. Is there any difference in the different types of protection according to the devices electrical load? What defines which method of protection is suitable for a particular device?

    Ball vape with ss balls and induction heating

    Experimentation is always the way! It'll be interesting to see how that pans out. On the thickness thing, now you mention it (sculpting tools etc) I remember seeing vids of IH coils turning scalpel tips red hot in seconds, and that's not a lot of metal in the field. Also, I guess if the foil has...

    Ball vape with ss balls and induction heating

    I know dick about electronics, so probably just making a fool of myself here, but I presume the socket on the right is the mains socket? Isn't that yellow/green wire coming off it to the coil socket, the earth? Are you sure the casing isn't being used as part of the circuit? I'm sure I'm wrong...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Soon enough, but far far too long away! 😄 [Ed] Sorry, it was hoped to be late March, but looking more like another month, and won't happen until it's all done and ready, so it's a bit of a waiting game, but keep an eye out here and/or on the MH website, and I'm sure you'll pick up the news when...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Yeah, this makes much sense! Having a range of sizes and materials to actually try, is I think going to give much better results than trying to calculate it all based on physics, it's far to many variables to be worth it (for mere mortals, anyway!). But brains are really good at spotting...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Have to come back to that later - working now so can't take the time to read properly, but cool stuff! Yeah, I found that! And I realised that it's quite liberating, and I think more important with the very low heat capacity of a normal DV, where a tiny bit too much or too little heat can spoil...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    If I had to guess, I'd judge the rubies have lower conduction to capacity ratio? So it takes more heat, but that heat can't spread through them so quickly? But on the other side, they'll hold more heat for longer, but (depending on number, size and shape) release that heat slower - so maybe...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Thanks, I appreciate the offer (you may regret saying that one day! 🤣), though I am very much more stuck in my mind these days, and have few resources to play with real ideas and make things, so I tend to live internally much more, and construct things in my mind instead. Also, I get bored very...

    Ball vape with ss balls and induction heating

    Sounds interesting, but isn't there going to be a risk of the foil melting if it's too thin? Also, I don't believe the eddy currents tend to penetrate through the outer layers, so maybe your steel tube idea would work better? Or possibly a steel spiral coil instead of a tube? But I don't know if...
