My assumption is that green is the end point colour from anodizing. If that's true, would you not be able to take that thin oxide layer off with a gentle abrasive to leave a raw Ti finish? (and more to the point, would that help visibility?)

It was only a joke, I didn't think anyone would actually take it seriously in this thread. Alcohol? 🤔😉😁

Oh? So you won't be interested in helping me develop a new type of vape with a built in supply of monoxide and a little value to adjust how much you get! 🤣

It won't provide the effect of the carbon monoxide created by combustion so the effects will never be quite the same, but that said, it was when I got my first tempest last year that I started to really find an acceptable substitute which if not the same, came with it's own bonuses (beyond the...

I'm working on the chemical use of vapour pressure, which seems more appropriate for the circumstance (a compound in a device that heats it up to boiling point). I worked in organic chem labs for about 12 years, then pharma drug discovery labs for about a decade, and I'm going on what I know...

How can it exist when it's impossible to measure? It's the very fact it's closed that allows it to create that pressure differential between the inside of the vessel and the surroundings. Again, you need to take account of it's definition - this is very important, if those conditions of the...

Ah yes, I think you've mentioned that before, thanks. Hope it's mostly cleared up now, not a fun experience by all accounts. 🤣 Yeah, I've come to realise there are many variations of Wand, some even in the dimensions of the coil housing! And the 'temp' setting seems to vary too from one Wand...

I have a condition called SDAM (severely deficient autobiographical memory) that means I have absolutely no conscious recall of any experience what so ever, from what my closest family look like, to what garlic smells of, to what it feels like to be stoned (etc etc). So in terms of the past...

I may be coming across as argumentative and/or even unreasonable or patronising, but it's just the way my head works plus my science background that makes certain descriptions very sensitive in terms of my own understanding of physical and chemical processes, it's not personal, in case it...

Caveat: I know next to sod-all about electronics beyond not putting a screw driver into the live socket! (and that took a little working out!) Agreed - there's no temperature sensing at all (beyond any safety cutout feature I'm unaware of), even the 'temp' setting is really just a timer, and if...

I think in part it's how you 'see' things working in your (one's) mind, that effects how you describe them. On reflection I suspect I agree with what your saying, but not how you're saying it (and that's me at fault, but I haven't much choice in the matter). The way I see this issue of even...

But all that says is something gets hotter if you heat it. By definition a closed system has a limited number of known variables, almost all complex open systems (like a vape) have too many unknown variables to calculate. The best we usually do is discovering trends such as the effects of...

Whether it's deliberate or not I don't know, but this was a minor bugbear on my beta-tempest1 where the sleeve was rather loose and I have to be careful to check it's correctly set as it can move so easily. As I tend to stick to fully open anyway, I'm grateful for the ability to lock in place.

Yeah, same here, I read someone else posting about this. Just loosen the screw at the top a little and that allows the sleeve to move, put it where you want and gently tighten the screw up again - sorted!

I've only tried a couple of the initial weeny size bowl, almost back to back (it cooled down very quickly on the Reload lid). I tried a second or so after second click (yeah, I admit it, I pulled out early! 😉) and got a very respectable hit and a bit, with avb looking barely baked at all. Second...

He he he he he ...! [Edit:] This constitutes a review - in my current state!

The watermark could imply ownership/copyright of an image, and unless Brenyo gave his approval, it could be naughty of them to take someone else's image and watermark as theirs. Not that that necessarily means it's the case of course! The quality of the colour could just be an artifact of...

Biology's an amazing thing! In the case of cannabis, I believe (caveat - I'm not expert) that many/most of the compounds that are inhaled are mostly absorbed and processed via the respiratory system with little negative impact, rather than the hydrocarbon tars from smoking which are much harder...

From what you've described, it really does sound like you've built up some sort of deposit within the Tempest. My guess is the lower the temperature it's run at the more likely this will happen. Running at the hotter end of the range will strip out the almost all the compounds (bearing in mind...

I'm afraid the broscience isn't accurate - if you're talking physics, then every heat transfer is radiation - an atom or molecule transfers energy (measured as heat in this case) to another atom or molecule via electromagnetic radiation. When it's two particles in a solid it's usually called...
