    Buying stuff on Instagram

    I'm horribly out of touch, and need help to understand the etiquette of Instagram. I'm aware a number of makers prefer to sell via Instagram, but as I've never had a reason to use the platform, I don't really know where to begin. Are you expected to follow them? Are there ways of finding out...

    Preload or reload?

    With some vapes (DV, Dani), I reload as soon as I'm done, ready for next time. But I would never dream of doing similar with other devices - the Vapman, bricks, any number of Glass TEDs. Do you preload? Just dosing caps?

    UK Glass - Rickysvaps.co.uk?

    Has anyone come across rickysvaps.co.uk or used any of this interesting looking gear? Cheap too, but it's a couple of weeks til payday for me.

    Butane torch thread

    Many of us who use butane vapes have taken long and circuitous journeys to find our preferred lighters. Dynavaps need different to Bricks need different to Vapmans and Anvils, yet there's still no thread offering help to people looking for the lighter/torch that best fits their use case, and at...

    Broken glass, an appreciation

    Many of us feel a pang when a piece cracks, breaks or smashes into a gazillion pieces. Worse still, when the breakage is small yet enormously significant to the functioning of the piece, like a razor sharp chip in a mouthpiece. Even small hairline cracks are a reminder that eventually you're...

    How did you arrive at your FC Handle

    I often ponder the names of fellow FCers and the meaning they hold for the person behind the avatar. Do you care to explain yours? Unfortunately my tale is more cautionary than inspirational. I used the name Reddit auto-assigned me, for the sake of continuity. I think it relates to driving a...

    Vaphit Quartz Cap -

    Very cheap, very effective little convection device. Deserves more love as an endearingly odd mashup of TRWWs Terpscle (the holes) and the Quartz Caps (the rest of it) (with maybe a dash of Camouflet Convector, too). Full kit with spares and a carry case for $14. Mentioned a couple of times...

    Small, cheap high quality bubblers - for travel, stealth etc

    There's already a fantastic thread on CHQBs. But can anyone recommend the very best small bubblers for the FCer about town, using the following criteria? Size Price Robustness Function I travel a little. My j hooks aren't that robust, and I no longer have my Sake Bottle.

    Vape related euphoria

    Here's a curious feature of a neurodiverse intoxication: the intense feeling of delight associated with a preferred vape, or method of ingestion, and the need to inform those around you. In my case it's often related to the simplicity of the device, its relative lack of expense, or its...

    Vaporising with glass, in particular hash

    So I'm not sure. Does the discussion of pipes like the one below belong here or in the portable vaporizers thread?

    Vaping, manufacture and intellectual property

    Many people here get vexed over the apparent theft or reiteration of someone else's ideas. Often these concerns are presented alongside an assertion that goods made in particular areas (eg China) are of inferior quality, or, if the quality seems decent enough and/or they are manufactured in...

    £20 including (6 weeks) delivery from Ali Express. Hasn't arrived yet, but wondered if anyone else had tried, yet mod note: Links to sales sites removed. People can find these easily enough. We don't need to help them.

    Custom Glass 101 - a worked example?

    I hear a number of folks talking about custom glass, sharing designs and ideas, and getting things made to order - by approaching local glass blowers, or occasionally international/Chinese companies. I have no idea where to begin with this. Can someone talk me through the kind of process...

    J Hooks With Feet

    I have a terrible prejudice against almost all J Hooks. The only ones that make any sense to me are curved standing J Hooks (the ones with feet) like 1) in this list. What's your experience of J Hooks? Are some shapes designs better than others? What kind do you prefer, and why?
