#MAbud Try adjust your tip insertion, less in less heat. Doc

I just pick-up Mya style grommets at a local Hookah shop. The WPA I use is little silicone washers that are sold to keep ss straws in cups like, Yeti cups. It also blocks off the airport, (easily adjustable,) just the right size to cover the 14mm opening. It really works with a grommet. Doc

Hookah shops have hose grommets,(small silicone cones), that seal up a multitude of leaks. I keep one ,(turned inside out ), in all my 14mm glass joints.

I use "Anhydrous Glass". "J-hook" or bong works for me. Doc

Use grain alcohol, (Everclear), and make a tincture. Works in any beverage, coffee. Make a drink, it's all good. Doc

I became a Royal Shellback in 1963, and I think I still have graphite grease in my ears from when I crossed in 1962. Lol. Doc

@thejackalsmark When you cross the "Equator" and the "International Date Line" at the same time you are a "Royal Shellback". Second time across the Equator, no hazing , but became "Royal". Doc

Want to know how the cap works? This YouTube video will explain a lot. "Clever uses of Thermal Expansion" on New Mind. That's if you really want to know how it works. Doc

I built an apparatus that rolls a VC in a torch flame. I have tinnitus can't hear or feel the click. A magnet on a small cow bell would hold the VC against the bell to ring on click. I feel like a defense lawyer, trying to justify a thought in my head. If I push the bell against the mp it rings...

Why is it hard to make a mouthpiece out of steel? It would be difficult to mount a magnet, round or otherwise, on the VC. Steel is not hazardous. Doesn't taste bad. Won't rust in the mouth. Doesn't need to be directional magnetically. Just resting the mp on the bell rings it. Magnetic...

"If your ears start to ring , You can't hear the ding". I have an idea that just might solve one of the complaints of the VC. All I need is a mouthpiece that is attracted to a magnet. I think the click will be amplified by a small cowbell with a magnet on it. "WE NEED MORE "COWBELL". If the...

I have been trying to get anyone to make me a mouthpiece that is attracted to magnets. I want to put a magnet on a cowbell, and see if it rings my bell when it clicks. I built an apparatus that rotates the VC over a flame, just can't tell when it clicks cause I'm not touching it. This might be a...

I worked on a research project before I retired from the heat-sink industry. We used a vacuum furnace to fill the spaces between diamond dust. The heat-sinks feel cold to the touch, (pulls heat from fingertips). Tried to clean up over run on the edge. It just dressed the grinding wheel. Makes...

Check order of, and size of o-rings. Doc

@Xclerk look in the mouthpiece, you can see the end of the condenser to tell how far into the tip it is. Doc

How I keep my screens cleaner to make them last longer. First to replace them in the VC I back them up with a 4mm ss axle up the condenser to flatten them after installation. I took a dremal brush, with the bristles straight out the end. I clamp it in a "pin vice" with a 1 inch straw on the...

@just_the_flu Try the straw keepers,( used to hold stainless steel straws in "Yeti" cups.(can be used to block the "airport") make an excellent vong. Doc

I do not know why, but I have been calling them wrong. The Mya style is the one I use. I just turn it wrong side out and put it in the joint and leave it. Doc

I just use the washers, best glass adapter I have ever used. I also put hookah grommets in all my 14mm joints. Doc

WPA hack. I ordered, "silicone tips for stainless steel straws" The little silicone washers that retain the SS straws in the lid of SS cups like"Yeti"cups. They slide over the VC, and can be used to cover the "airport". If placed with the small side toward the mp, it will block off a 14mm...
