I'm sure if you say so then it is so....but being used in the forumlation and being present as an element to outgas are different, I believe.
"
Macor has a high use temperature (800°C continuous to 1,000°C peak). It has a low thermal conductivity and is a useful high temperature insulator as well as an excellent electrical insulator.
Macor has no porosity and
when properly baked out, will not outgas. It is strong and rigid and, unlike high temperature plastics, will not creep or deform.
Macor is also radiation resistant."
I have been recently using a glass bowl from the NV source and do indeed like it over the Ti bowl for taste. However, I agree with Edwyn's (
@NewVape710 ) view that blown glass just doesn't seem to be able to be made with the tolerances we would probably all prefer.
Now, with that said, I'm not at all unhappy with my Ti bowl...just a bit better taste with the boro.
Edwyn, for my part I'm very happy with my Showerhead in Ti and, and this is just me, personally my interest in the MACOR (or other machinable ceramic) is for the bowl/stem. Its very exciting that you are looking into this and moving forward so quickly. Wow.
So, I'm still rocking my SH and liking it a good bit. But this past wknd I was out of town visiting a friend who has the Vrod with SiC and we banged it a bit. Love the design...highly integrated and also clean and stylish.
Edwyn, I believe I read a prior post of yours that you were planning to get some small qty of coils that are suitable for the Vrod but with D-nail type XLR and pin-outs. Is this going to happen. I already have three controllers so there is my primary interest in a compatible coil. That a bit of a barrier to entry for me wrt to getting a Vrod.
I like New Vape products very much and tend to tout their Pax reloading tool and fine grinder anywhere and everywhere I can... along with the FP. I also own them as well as recommend them.
But I have stepped it up and in the last couple of days I bought a NV Micro-20 rosin press from a friend (and there are two more dual port controllers that came with it....I think controllers are getting it on and reproducing at night...where did they all come from! LOL). Just got home with it and haven't even had a chance to set it up (need to go to Home Depot tomorrow and get some mounting screws and washers for the hydros).
I know...wrong thread...but this NV press is built like a T-72 tank. I'm talking solid as a rock (also heavy...oh, my aching old back LOL). Its just a totally top notch product as far as I can tell from fit, finish, design, and apparent durability. We did use it to squish before packing it up to move and it worked wonderfully. Not sure that me and my little bitty tolerance need a press like this, but as far as I can tell its a commercial grade product and will last a lifetime. Maybe a bit much for home use (though that's my use case), but I can readily see this for smaller commercial operations. Maybe I need to set up a small local co-op in my garage for squishing with the Micro-20. LOL
Just though I would drop in and say hi after reading about all of the exciting and new initiatives coming out of NV on the FP.
Cheers

I'm just saying, my 20mm banger gets stuck sometimes and a little drop of saliva of all things pops it right off.
