Thanks guys

just wondering if there are any gauzes I can get to fit flexicone as alternative?
I looked, could not find the spec of screens (gauzes), but mine measure 16mm.
You could look for SS pipe screens, I recently purchased some of
these in 1/2" for Bowle pods.
I try to link the 5/8" size (5/8"=.625 in.= 15.875mm (very close!), I think theses will work, hopefully you can get easy access to them, or similar.
Sorry, I am in US; the suggestion is to find appropriate screens that are sold for pipes.
I do like the more robust MV rimmed screen, but as
@condition said, either will work in flexicone.
I use baskets in place of the glass cylinder thing
Okay, I got all my goodies, an accessories order from Spain, all but the Glass Starter Kit, which I went to Vaporific.ca for, and looks like I maybe didn't need to order at all.
Main things are the 2 different wpa's.
The one that is a single piece, all glass, will simply go on a flexicone+ (can be cut to short) and thence to your glass, So, a long whip to your big bong? or maybe a very minimal run to a bubbler or j-hook. Those are both less than optimal, for me, though I have yet to try - it might yield a better fit with the glass I happen to have.
The other wpa is the (nylon?) grey thing with green o-rings on it. I was all kinds of confused by the suggestion that you need the Glass starter kit in order to use this wpa; I ordered one of everything I could see...
The nylon wpa came with the glass tube that passes through it and with one modified flexicone for fitting those pieces into the lid, or, more precisely, the glass tube into the lid, then the wpa to slip on and friction fit snug onto the glass tube.
I did not need the glass insert (bigger glass tube from the Glass Starter Kit), though it would work, forming the "all glass" chamber & path desired.
I left the white (teflon?) sleeve in the MV and use a regular rimmed basket & rimmed screen, which is what
@jasp3r was trying to tell me about, I think.
So, the Glass Starter Kit: I did not like using the glass chamber, mainly because it gets hot and stays hot, I was not seeing a way to do back-to-back chambers, handling the little glass tube or whatever - and the loose screens (including the one at bottom of chamber) make me not want to fuss.
The only pieces in the Glass Starter Kit are that big insert tube and then the same two parts that arrived with the nylon wpa (small glass tube and a modified flexicone). So, using basket screen and teflon insert, I can use the nylon wpa setup, did not need the Starter Kit.
(I understand that the Glass starter insert can change the quality of vapor, more conduction, etc.; I'm just less interested in that aspect, I guess.)
The Nylon wpa is weird. Unfortunately my (3) 14mm glass pieces (j-hooks and bubblers) are all inexpensive, less than perfect, and none fits well on the green o-rings of this wpa. Seal is good to go, there's just some wobble. I'm trying to understand why they didn't just make it exact same taper as Scientific glass and forgo the silicone rings...
I purchased a charger from Spain, taking a chance that dodgy connection was the fault a cord/plug and not the pins in the flat charging base. It was hard to tell, so I took a guess, and it has worked out, no question when I set it to charge, light goes reds and stays red until charge is complete. Great.
The charger has changed from the one illustrated (which is what I had), you guys prolly know this already. It is now a single cord coming from the adapter, the adapter plugging straight to outlet now (think "wall wart").
The cord setup is less than 1/2 its previous overall length (now about 1 meter), so I don't see it being comfortable when trying to use the vape as a plug-in if I were to get that adapter.
In summary, I'm liking the nylon wpa, It gives a nearly direct to j-hook connection (less than perfect fit, but acceptable). Using with medium baskets/teflon insert.
I absolutely love that I can fill a basket and then sit with my honey for 10 to 20 minutes or more and luxuriate with this super-flavorful, super smooth vape.
Been rotating between the MV and the Bowle, still inclined to give the Bowle slightly better review on flavor/smooth/cool/etc, but it is very close, maybe simply different and not better? Maybe I have not fully realized what the MV can do...
