Well, ran my FP SH last night back up to 640 for my bedtime load. As before, thick, thick vapor (I do use the cap...just like the capped performance).
At 640, while the vapor was not hot, it was a bit more irritating than at slightly lower temps so I think I'm going to drop back down to 600-620. I know its not much of a temp change, but it seemed to be smoother at that temp (but this is all subjective and I was stoned at the time! LOL).
Body stuck again in the glass but I'm sort of over that. When it cools down it comes free instantly and I just pick the whole drop down up with the body attached and empty it that way. The drop down actually gives me more distance from hot Ti when handling it, so no real problem. With that said, I'm wondering if the added complexity of the two part body that Edwyn showed is worth it?? Not sure but look forward to seeing it in action.
I'm still not willing to put the body directly into any hand made joints on my more expensive pieces...but I will use any of them with the FP with a drop down.
I like the new Ti carb cap but since I just bought a SS one, I will use it for a bit before upgrading.
I did get a scoop cap handle and am finding it of limited use as to use it as a scoop after hitting a bowl...well, the cap end is where you have to hold it and it gets hot. I just use another NV scoop that I have (I have a few of them, best and most useful scoop tool that I have found).
Cheers
