OF said:druminfected said:OF said:Yup, fun idea. Since you're local, you might even consider a run to Tap Plastics. For a buck twenty (plus tax, of course.....) they'll sell you a six foot stick of that very tube. You can hack up a lifetime supply of whatever length you think best for yourself and all your friends......

Anyone that gets some of this tube, I'm down to pay a buck or so via paypal, for a piece of tube (length of a magic flight tube) and light enough to just slap a stamp or 2 on for shipping. I'm not a local so don't have this store and can't get around that easy. I'm sure other members would want in on this too!
That or anywhere I could order this online on the cheap would be great as well.
I've been involved in such 'group buys' before, and while I understand the desire and idea and all my experience is it's a real PITA to address and ship all those little 'low cost' packages. To make it even worse, I don't support PayPal so that option is out.
But, I'll tell you what. If one of you wants to volunteer to distribute the tube, I'll go buy another stick or two next time I'm out that way, cut it into say six inch pieces (?). I will mail the lot to you free of charge if you'll agree to distribute it at modest price to Members who want it? We can co-ordinate the details like length so it'll be easy to ship out in say padded envelopes, hopefully in long enough pieces so guys can cut them shorter as they wish (getting at least two stems in the process). It cuts easily with a hacksaw (or as I recall Vitolo used a kitchen steak knife) and smooths up nicely with file, sandpaper or in Vitolo's case a finger nail file as I recall?
Any volunteers?

I'm down to do this, just wondering how many other people want this besides me? If not I guess I'll just buy the piece on that site joekickass provided. Thanks for the offer too OF!

also, if you don't have an MFLB glass tube for a mouthpiece you can do what i did, which was to take the glass dropper off a small amber bottle and cut off the very tip of silicone mouthpiece. feed tip thru from inside and viola.

Great idea. I pulled off the dropper and just stuck the dropper tip in the Omicron rubber mouthpiece and it fits perfect. I thought it was going to be too narrow an air path and not hit well but I am getting some very nice clouds. Thanks for the tip.

Cool. Look at envelopes and all and decide how long you want them cut (give or take) and send me an email with your name and address (to send them to) and you're in the business.....

Mflbparox said:i have a question! when i put my iso oil in the cake tip then i put my lighter up to it if i start seeing smoke am i doing it wrong? and usually i scrape then just put the oil around the edges of the tip is that a bad idea should i focus more on putting it in the middle of the cake tip instead of the edges? and then after i keep the lighter up to the tip sometimes it smokes, is that just me or anyone else? any help?

if its smokin it just means it is too hot and is starting to ...smoke....or vape...or whatever. stop lighting it and let it cool down a bit. if its that hot it probly has run down anyway especially with a runny oil like ISO. ISO is not a recommended oil, but if you are using it and with a cake tip, just plug the hole with a small nail and you don't have to worry about clogging it and then ur good no matter how you fill it. do recommend getting a fill tool tho. i like to have the cart at a 35 degree angle and try to drip the oil on one side so air can come up the other, personally. hope that helps
investing in a torch and a beverage warmer might be a good idea.
i would if you were local. investing in quality tools pays off in the long run, imhoMflbparox said:does anyone have a fill tool just sitting around that is willing to help a follow FC MEMBER!!!!!
