@Quint that's a proper burr overload. I could see myself running a bowl and spending hours just staring at that lot.
There is no air being pulled thru the 7 fin tip and black cap in this video. The interesting bit comes around the minute mark.
@Squiby there was a reason why I haven't been using the black cap and the video shows why. I posted before about it. The blackening process changes the properties of the cap. Unlike the plain SS it cannot be deformed between the fingers or under light pressure in a vice. I spoke with George about it and he told me the process also makes the metal brittle. If I applied to much pressure in the vice it would 'shatter'. This is also why the cap has no groove in it.
The click on and off is the same as the newest caps I have so the performance is the same vapor production wise.
It looks the bee's knee's the glossy black coating is robust. No amount of heating has changed it.
My wind shield has left some light marks on it but that's to be expected as it's done the same to the plain one I've used.
The video shows how the inability to deform it causes issues with my 7 fin tip. The issue is not as bad with an un-ground glass tube I tried but not all glass tubes are the same.
There is a metal clip inside which means it sticks well to a magnet. Really well.
As you can see at the end of the footage if you were to forget, not that anyone I knows ever forgets
, you could end up dropping a hot cap somewhere you wish you hadn't
It would be a shame for them not to become available because as with everything George produces they look great.
