LOL! I knew that was coming! That would have been my first guess.
First time cleaning the elbow?
TimeFrame Correct!
(approx 6 months) It's a pretty big glob. I should have put a common object in the picture for reference. Next time...
================= The Story =================================
So I get a call from a friend that I had set up with a DDave Mod approx 6 months ago. He's going on about how he's cleaned his glass Wand and elbow, all screens, took apart his unit and cleaned it, made sure his EQ wasn't clogged with dust in the vent underneath the unit.... everything possible he could think of, but he was describing a draw resistance similar to those who use a Solo for the first time.
I'm thinking to myself, even with clogged screens mine Arizer has never had that kind of draw resistance. I tell him to relax and I'll be over.
Dropped by and he fired up his tower. 200C straight off, we gave her 10 minutes to make sure she was read for use. He packed a wand, by hand and with Wand in the adapter I proceeded to take a draw. DANG! Immediate flashes of the golf ball through a garden hose jokes came rushing into mind. Wow, that was like sucking air through a pinhole.
Since we had already attached everything we could think if, I asked him when was the last time he changed his tubing for the whip. He gets an odd look on his face, then says when we did the original mod 6 months earlier. (He used solid dark blue silicon tubing, like I've seen at the SSV site).
Well, fully armed with a light bulb over my head, I ask him if he has a rolling pin... like one would use to roll out cookie dough. He did! So I ask him to get it and some tin foil. Then proceed, from mouthpiece end to wand end, roll that tubing with great force.
What happened next I will never forget! There we were, watching the end of the tubing (I was hoping for a glob of golden goo).... and as I neared the end, this big "turd looking" thing comes squishing out..... My friend stood up and blew chunks!
I don't know why it caught him so off-guard, because had I needed to use the restroom, I'd have had an accident laughing at him. Through tears and gasps for air, I asked him what was up.... and stared at me for a second.. then his red face looked as if it would explode and he struggled to get the words out "It looked like Poop, Active Happening Poop!" out of his mouth before he completely lost it. Needless to say, I lost it too! For the next 20-30 minutes, we couldn't do anything but laugh at what happened!
I also said there was a happy ending. My friend couldn't look at this stuff, much less vape it! Even though I let him know that this combination of wand dust and resin would be decently potent. So he let me take the whole batch, with the promise of another when the draw restriction returned, so long as I promised not to clean the whip out in front of him!
As I left, he had to say "Enjoy your Shit!", to which we both shared one last side-splitting laugh.....
Vape On! (And when your draw becomes restricted, give me a call....
Happy to get things working again for ya!
