I was looking for something to spend some cash and I just paid for one of these , it may be cheap china junk but I can swap the element out for a Hakko one and the rest of the air path is outside of the wand .

I just ordered a SSV cover from 7th floor , after I get it all together I'll let you guys know how my $55 heat wand works . As a soldering iron it does 392-842 F so it should be able to get up to temp .

I just ordered , um Sat I think . I'll post if its an active heating element or just a simple set watt heater . I'm really hoping its a active heat controll so that the wand will apply more power when you take a huge rip . For that cheap , its probly a simple controll like used in the DBV or SSV but who knows .
No I dont have a element , I found them on ebay cheap , I think it was like 10 bucks for 2 or them . Edit : after looking again it must not have been ebay I found the hakko elements , but I'm still not sure what I'm going to do about the element .
I got tracking numbers for the iron and the SSV cover today . Should be testing later in the week .

I got my parts !!
7th floor was fast on sending me a SSV cover and the iron was shipped just as fast
From 2 minutes playing around with the iron , I'm kinda sure the heat is a active one , the light will go off when its over temp and flicker fast to realy fast to stay at temp or it comes on solid if I blow on the heater . I think/hope its going to work good .
Edit : I have gotten a few hits but I'll have to check thru my bowls to see what fits better , this one doesn't get a good seal to the SSV cover , but it was making vapor .
And yes , this seams to be an active heat controll , I'm not sure how accurate it is but its trying . I can make the light come on just from blowing into the coffee cup thats holding the wand .

has anyone ever seen or had any experience with these http://www.jackstoolshed.com/index/...urce=google&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=gbase the only reason it intrigues me is the temp control/rheostat built into the handle.

well me and a friend of mine who's a machinist have an idea using something like this along with a vaporwarez vapor cannon standard heater cover, my friend is going to machine a collar with the same threads as the VC so the heater cover could be easily unscrewed and the unit used as a hotstick.

Man the more I look at this thing I'm thinkin this is the handle/electronics of the VHW if you look where the screw that holds the body of the iron together it looks like the same point that the heater cover on the VHW is attached.rbrown13 said:so are you saying this is the electronics and element from the VHW or are you saying I should just man up and buy the the stinkin VHW alreadyFEAR420 said:Yup...Its called the VHWrbrown13 said:
