Oh yeah, while waiting on the mystery resistor to sho up from lwien ;) I have implemented a new QC check. Two actually. I've checked quite a few resistors before this, but from yesterday on, all resistors are checked for accuracy, also continuity testing of the wiring after assembly and the...

Welcome to the family, Kaz and any that I have missed recently with all that has gone on. :) Yes the stems are supposed to be a little loose. a perfect fit would mean a perfect alignment to mate the two. Enogh slop so we can get it in in most any state yet still in the very few thousandths of...

There are lots of factors involved in car use. As mentioned the red LED muist be on. And as you are a new user you may not realize that this unit will drop from the vapor zone quickly when unplugged. So if your lighter wasn't working you would have had no heat at all. 30 minutes is a bare...

Yeah, the jack should be warm not hot. Seems there may have been a coincidental/concurrent problem in two vapes. And seems they are unrelated. One may be a out of spec resistor. We will test and see. The other seems to be a out of spec wall adapter (since the unit works fine in the car)...

My first vapor was holding a lighter well above a hand pipe, heating it enough to get vapor without combustion. The taste was unbelievable. Then I realized I was getting 'the goods'. I was hooked and had to have a real vape. Bought an Aromazap, in 2003, never looked back at smoking as an...

The jack is screwed into a threaded hole, It gets screwed down tight and a tiny drop of Elmer's Carpenter's glue on the threads makes it a one way operation. If you think about ways to recess the jack, there aren't many that are as solid as what we use. A nut on the inside? that wood wall is...

Yes the power jack will get noticably warm. Heat migration through the wires (bare tinned copper) was an issue with the LED models. Enough heat traveled through the wiring to make the LEDs fail in some cases. In trying to mitigate the heat transfer we went to two screws mounted in the top of the...

Yes, the PD has always been a work in progress. Alway trying to improve. Not all suggestions are used but all are considered and appreciated. And hand-made means there are some variables, unit to unit. Even the density of one piece of cherry vs the next can have an effect (only slight, but...

Yes tamping is the key to getting the load below the rim of the bowl. After that there should be no direct contact. The object you see is the RoHS compliant resistor. And yes it is offcenter, the resistor sits flush against the wall of the heat tube on one side, the other side is for the wire...

Couple of things. Captainhits, the crossbar is hot, and any herb protruding past the end of the staiinless steel 'bowl' will touch that bar and get too hot. I know how long this thread is, and things can get burried. After you load the bowl, by sucking in the material or by pinch and pack...

Sorry, MrMisty, no waiting lists,it'sone of the few form letters we will ever compose. :lol:

Yes, e-mail is the way. Always. If for some reason we are delayed in e-mail answer, it's usually a tech glitch, nobody gets ignored and many hours are spent making each answer as personal as possible. It's a remote place and not everything is Mickey D quick. Including new phone lines. What a...

E-mail seems to be working again, get with us. Seems too hot, I've tested dozens of resistors and they have all been identical. Maybe one came from the factory with a different value, just a little variation could boost the temp. Ordered stainless #6 screws 3/4 inch. Hillman Fastner delivered a...

Yes, the plan is to be done with the shop by then and ready to go, but weather may hold the shop plans up, you never know. All materials are here or a few blocks away... It's a beautiful day to build today but I have a few orders to fill first. Yes, to happiness first. Money is an illusion...

Back from the void. :D Update from PD land. With a high gain antenna I am getting 1 bar of reception on a neighbors Wi-Fi. Not much but enough to get some e-mails out and put in an update here. Lines are drawn on the ground and utilities located for the trench that will give us a phone line...

HoneyAir said, "Its a perfectly tossed up ball ready to be smacked out of the park by the PD." Maybe, but you won't see me posting under another name. Or having someone else do it. Not my style. ;) I had a day that was 10 minutes short of 24 waking/working hours yesterday (and 6-1/2 hours...

Can't wait for her to get back and see this ! I think she is great. For those that wonder what he is talking about... http://purple-days.com/Pammy_Paints.html She has talents... :cool:

Narf... :)

Thanks Hennesey, it's not for the money. Most of you know I was retired. Yeah, I make some bucks, but mostly it's something to do, and work I enjoy, that I can feel good about and take pride in. JohnnyVape, thanks, we try. You guys and your 'sick' glass... (that means really cool CD) Pammy...

Nope, not AofZ, not sure if he is even a member here, and it happened in the last week or so. It was an aromatic oil and your right it ain't gonna rinse off. Best advice we could give was plug it in 24/7 and time will do it's work. Like the aromatic in the wood itself those 'oil' aromatics...
