you didnt miss that part, I didnt state it...toke another take only as you wish I learned to think about airflow when I was a flutemaker So I have an appreciation of the VC when I look at what it does via air columns Course most of it is above my level I have ideas of ways to...

@mucsusn The @phattpiggie stems are stellar. From a strength standpoint, and a freedom of form standpoint...this is a very good design. Thought of making some, but didnt want to step on toes @stark1 stripping out the condenser, ORings etc, and going bare tube. Recogmended...

Today I tried, for the first time, VCing with a wood stem sans condenser/airport. I know many of you strip down the VC and skinnydip…also, I made a wood stem a couple of weeks ago for a fellow FC member…no condenser. My first one So I thought it was time to try it myself. it was...

thank you so much for sharing what the DV cf tube looks like inside. I have been after that data for a while. reg your cf stem and the "string" you see inside....I would recogmend you deal with that before you use the stem. If that is a shard of cf, you do not want that in your lungs. back...

sorry bro you got the big run around...humans are a varied species to say the least reg that carbon tube...you may be better off I dont know what the DV carbon tube was like, but most of the tubing out there has the shiny dismond pattern on the outside, and a solid grey epoxy inner surface. I...

yes, I wondered if you were referring to larger glass pieces. Im not into that, but I do hear that anything high quality glasswise is very pricey

yes, Gru says "now thats what I am a talkin bout" hefy wall and large O ring adapter...pretty clever of RWW The other thing I researched/found, that results in a sturdy glass tube...is grinding the ends and mapp gas torching the ends it relieves the stress weakness caused by cutting...

ramahs I know about financial limitations If you are looking for thick glass vapcap stem, Rogue wax works may be your best bet. I did some web searchs for thick walled sight glass tubes They are out there in larger than typical VC diameter...which I think is the way to go to have s...

been reading bout you guys glass woes...just made some meatloaf for dinner. Used a glass baking pan...pyrex I think or corringware. I would imagine I could drop that sucker and it would not break. So wondering if thick pyrex tubes exist this may be old news but just occured to me @stark1...

those metal stems are really nice. I would try my hand at those, but my little Taig lathe wont handle SS. Made for brass, aluminum... Soft steel is its linit. and titanium milling has a fire risk so woodies and acetal for me oh, there is a high temp plastic I would love to use...but at...

I will be sending a pm shortly

Hi sorry to hear your glass stem broke. It prob wasnt your fault - just the nature of the beast. I looked into offering some glass stems, but decided against it. 1- the glass tubing was mostly not accurate enought for the DV tip, and needed to be ground out to size. That weakens the glass...

hey xclerk that idea of a ss CCD behind a ti CCD for micro dosing - thats way cool since I stopped grinding my loads, I dont have any problems with getting particals down my throat. But if I was still grinding, your 2 CCD setup would def be the way to go
