I soaked mine in iso and then tried the ol' waterpik but iirc, I ended up using a little piece of wire to poke, as well. It wasn't bad, just fiddly.About to jump on the convector. Almost contemplating two or one full kit and a cap and tip for one of my dyna stems. Really wanting a small load convection device to juggle between my vapcaps for switching up conduction and convection profiles.
A few questions, contemplating getting both ceramic tubes for them, but im wondering how do you go about cleaning the 4 hole ceramic tube?
I've really only used the 4-hole and a DV condenser, neither are as restricted as a DV but they're not a world off either. Similar but noticeably less restricted.That’s the main thing im concerned about for that. Ultimately, i’d like something as harsh or less harsh than a dyna, maybe the single hole ceramic is enough for that requirement? But also something as restrictive or less restrictive than a vapcap m, does the 4 hole make it more restrictive than a vapcap? Sorry for comparison here, but its only metric i can maybe quantify with the slightly different traits of the ceramic tubes on offer here (ie 4 hole ceramic restrictiveness vs vapcap and 1 hole ceramic vs cooling if vapcap).
I have dropped my cap off a few times, and it does feel like you can put it on too tight (although I believe they've added a stop so you can't push it on too far now). If you drop it on concrete I don't think it would hurt the cap too badly as it's very light and would just bounce.Also, does the cap stay on well and do you have to be careful putting it on? I saw some people mention you can damage it putting it on too tightly but also heard it fell off the device for some people from being loose. I stand while vaping and usually above concrete, so ideally i’d like to not have my cap fall onto that when using it. Is there an easy and reliable way to place the cap on the device without risk of it falling off or of putting on too tightly? Or is it less finicky than im reading it to be?
Probably not quite as bad as it's made out to be...but I've never disassembled mine since! I think they may include a different o-ring that's easier to use now? In any case, if you become frustrated your DV innards will work perfectly and a bit more easily, though maybe not as coolly.Lastly, i hear the condensor isn’t easy to put on, has anyone found that lubing the orings with either saliva or skin oil near the nose to help? I find it helps with dynas but this does sound like a tighter fit overall. Im afraid of that process of assembly tbh but im hoping its not as difficult as it’s made out to be.
Easier than getting it back in (assuming the original o-rings). I feel like the ceramic cores are durable. They might break falling on concrete, but they might even survive that. It will be easy to remove and the difficulty in reassembling is not from having to force the parts together, it's from the o-rings being a tad too large and shaped such that they grip too much going in. You probably won't break it reassembling.Also, how hard is it to remove the ceramic tube for cleaning? Haven’t seen anyone mention it or how to do it safely. The part that gets me here is that ceramic is less durable than steel, so im hoping this process isn’t so difficult that i break them in the process of assembly or removing for cleaning.
Anyhow, they're really nice devices, I bet you will enjoy it!
