... I gotta big you up, cos that tube on the end is a f8cking great idea. stupendous!!
Hi
@Trypsy Summers -- Glad you like the tubing. Desire for comfort spurs ideas.
Was doing some medicated math. Thought some out there would enjoy this.
Gratuitous pictures, too. Don't worry, no dolls.
Wondering how much slower the "air" molecules were at the wide herb chamber.
Stripped down version of continuity equation holds that V1*A1=V2*A2
(V is velocity of air, A is the cross sectional area of the tube, Pi*radius squared)
Herb chamber diameter is about three times steel coil inner diameter.
So the Area of the tube opening is nine times larger at the herb chamber.
For the chamber side of the equation to remain equal to the coil side,
the V, Velocity, must be one ninth as fast as the V in the metal coil.
That's quite an air braking system.
As I said in a prior post, this slow hot air velocity is ideal for single layer micro loads.
After further medication, realized I could do some bio-mechanical sleight of breath at the lip end:
If the mouthpiece end is smaller, the velocity will increase.
I picked a factor of two to aim for. How much smaller should the mouthpiece opening be if we double the draw velocity?
After exhaling, I figured the area must be reduced by half, so linear measure of both radius and diameter must be reduced by a factor of the inverse square root of two. That's about 0.7, so the new "tube" diameter at the mouth end must be about 70 percent of the current opening.
Currently it's an inner diameter of 3/8 in or 9.5mm
Multiplying by 0.7 gives us a new inner diameter of about 1/4 in.
Happened to have glass Ascent mouthpiece stems that are that size, complete with a lip at one end that stays snug inside current 3/8 ID silicone tubing.
It's bio-mechanical trickery because the effort required by your diaphragm to create the vacuum to "suck" the slow vapor draw remains unchanged if you really think about it.
But, the smaller draw opening with its faster stream "encourages" you to purse your cheeks/lips slightly. The faster stream gives my tongue better feedback, and I can maintain a consistent pace of draw easier. Perceived as slightly cooler with increased velocity as well.
These cool draws are so nice that I often find myself continuing to draw without visible results at the end of a session. There is an odd siphon like feeling after steady flow is sustained, and you will feel relative reduced pressure of the intake. Pardon the pun, but it really is a breathtaking experience.
Picture time!
Was playing around with options. A nice Oregon glass tip, 7thFloor tip, MFLB glass or acrylic stem, lots of options. No need to worry about materials really, as vapor is already precooled by the steel coil.
The nested one on left I call Party mode. Regular straw for each guest, slide in new one.
One in middle is Classy Glass. Nice mouth feel. Roy's blonde model likes it.
On right is Stealth mode. Camelbak bite tip. No vapor leakage. Best used alone -- saliva magnet.
Old vape from late 1700's.
You can also twist the whip around on Plenty in this orientation.
The bottom half is cool, so you can sit and steady it to rest on lap/thigh.
Temp guage faces you this way, and cord trails away from you. Comfy.
Be creative. Here's an example of a Plenty nest:
Yeah, I know, the picture would be better with a log vape.

While I do still use the coil, there is just something about the flavor of this vapor that is different than the EVO, E-Nano, and a few other vapes I've tried. A buddy of mine has tried and used all 4 of the S&B Vapes and he swears to me the vapor in these vapes have a signature vapor quality that is even the same as the Volcano, Mighty and Crafty.. or so he says lol!
I've only tried a handful of vapes in the short amount of time I've been trying to convert so I couldn't really say but who knows, maybe he's right?
That's the first thing I'm going to do on friday night after my tolerance break! Love to see some pics if you got them man!
