something I want to understand... ss316 vs ti... in some other forum I saw that ss18tip weights 5.8gr while Ti tip is like 3gr
and 2 resources I was checking, other than the other forum, say that Ti is denser than ss316 - how is it possible? density isn't = mass/vol , and the vol of the both ss316 and ti tips are pretty much the same?
So Ti should be less denser because it hass less mass?
then what makes it heat up/down faster? the the conductivity coefficient?

It's perfectly logical - Because Ti is less dense (has less mass per unit volume), it heats faster than SS, because there is less metal to heat in the same volume tip. It cools faster for the same reason. Also, the Ti stems and tips are noticeably lighter in hand for this very reason - less density. Thats why they use Ti for aircraft parts, not steel.

Just learned that the silicone master adapter fits very well in the Al Lotus stem. I just used the smaller adapter with both a DV stem and a Terp pen.

Sneaky Pete Master Adapter™

The Sneaky Pete Master Adapter™ fits almost all vaporizers to any water tool with a female joint. The adapter itself is two separate individual accessories that perfectly fit together.

It does seem logical but there is no direct relationship between mass and thermal conductivity. A better relationship exists between electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. Take the heat shield tiles on the space shuttle for example. Their mass is exceedingly low but the thermal conductivity is so low you can hold a red hot chunk in your hand comfortably.

Ti's thermal conductivity (chart here) is much higher than steel's.

That is what makes designing fins on a ti tip a science if you want to keep the stem cool.

I posted this on Reddit too, but FYI cigarette holders that are a standard 8mm will hold a DV tip. I bought a pipe-shaped one on Etsy, and it works perfectly with my Hotshot.

Or pushing in with an Omni mouthpiece is the easiest I have found, but I don't tend to use it with a half bowl

This is a genius hack! I started using this technique and i can now set a nice flat ccd in second. Thank you!

A small caution of note.

Be careful as some of the cigarette holders sold are smaller then the requisite 8mm for
The VapCap tip (they are for slim cigarettes, like Virginia Slims, etc).

Otherwise, cigarette holders offer a wide variety of possible stems for a VapCap tip.

Good point! I asked the seller of the one I got off Etsy to measure the opening for me first and he was happy to check it, but absolutely, it has to be for a standard and not a slim cig.

It's stainless steel, not regular steel. SS is 15 W/m K and commercially pure Ti is 17. They are close enough and both actually poor conductors.

@StringTheorista yo buddy! it works, for me, with my Lotus stem, when the 18/14 adapter is upside down in my case, no 14/10 adapter is needed! but the airport is fully closed. nice one tho!

EDIT: damn! it works only with the fat Mp too! no glass!! just fat mp on the stem

Dude, we’re gonna start a run on lotus stems LOL

I just ordered a Ti tip

I'm excited to see what all the fuss is about

I've been enjoying the low temp cap, although I am struggling a little bit to justify the cost because it's just the same really, just the click happens at a different time, it does help me take my time and slow me down though, which I like, but there's no reason why the same effect could not be achieved by simply marking time elapsed in the IH. No regrets I guess, when the new tip turns up I will have two complete systems - that has to be a good thing right

 

[TommyDee]

Only 2 @kel ? ;] I bought a Ti tip for the very same reason. Still looking for the hype. It works and all that but still prefer my SS tips more. I married it to a nice long stem to make it special

 

[kel]

Haha yes, but I seem to have a nice little selection of stems and swap around quite a bit

If nothing else - half the weight will make one particular stem I have feel lighter, it's the one I hold as though it was a joint - it's already an excellent experience, so lets see...

In my experience: the Ti tip works best indoors and gives slightly better flavour (when used with flower).
I prefer the 2019 SS tip in every other situation

I have the impression that the 19ss tip takes longer to heat up than the Ti tip so I find it less practical outdoors. Why do you say the Titip works better indoors?

I prefer the heat retention of stainless steel for outdoor use, probably has more to do with the climate over here (cold and sometimes windy)

How much people tamp down their bowls so the load can be somehow far from the "click mechanism" so there will be less hotspots/dark color on the bowl? Tried it today, after long time which I never tamped down the herb. slightly tamped it.... and I like it! it gives stronger high.....the bowl can be finished at 1 long hit or 2 (I don't close the airport of my M20 at all, SS19 tip)

Hey all im having a 710 sale that runs 7/5 - 7/15 everything is 10% off. I have some interesting things I'm listing as well as a few glass stems from way back when

I press mine down lightly to keep it from touching the cap. It helps stop the top of the bowl from charring and improves airflow through the bowl I think.

 

[kel]

I always do this with pressed cbd pollen too, but all that happens is that it falls down into the cap as it dries out and becomes 'loose'.

@RogueGuy - good luck with your sale, I would, but I am in the UK ... and nothing may ever enter or leave our borders ever again (okay, that's totally not true, but it feels like it some days )

thanks @kel, I have been sending a lot of stuff to Europe lately

That's fantastic, long may it continue!!

I hope civilisation can evolve to the point where international trade like this is commonplace, inexpensive, tariff free etc. and life in general slows down a little bit and there's more of a sense of waiting for things being a good thing again

I do import things every so often, but it is always as a last resort and only if I absolutely have to, it does involve extra expense, perhaps about 1 time in 10 a bit of hassle too, and every so often it just fails

 

[RogueGuy]

@kel its not cheap though. I am always flattered when someone spends $15 to ship a tool that costs $16, lol

a bowl of kief (straw method until full) in a 777-fin tip with a low temp cap just made me fall back in love.
to hell with sprinkling.
ok time for bed now...
