When you clean the wand and whip, do you try to save the reclaim? if you do, how do you do it? Also, how do you clean the tube? Thanks!

Reclaim from a pvc whip does not sound too yummy...
Meanwhile just wanted to update that I have gone back to the 3mm ball heater cover with 3mm balls. I have to order the 4mm ones to see if they fit in this heater cover in order to form a bottom layer of 4mm balls and try to cover only the red hot part of the ceramic rod with 3mm balls, in an attempt to improve the airflow.
With the 6mm heater cover filled with 3mm balls, while amazing for daytime use, combines great airflow with good clouds, even at max temperature the load never gets to the brown colour I like for night time use. Since getting the tempest I have been using the SSV only at night so a heavier hit is wanted. I believe what happens is, since the 6mm heater cover is much wider, and the ceramic rod not too powerful, I believe the balls on the outer edge of the heater don't heat up as much.
The 3mm heater cover is very narrow, so the ceramic rod heats the rubies very well. It is just a beast. I will try improving the airflow of this one, instead of trying to make the 6mm one more powerful. Maybe a few terp rods or 4mm balls thrown at the bottom of the 3mm heater cover would work if they fit, upto maybe an inch from the bottom, and then fill the rest with 3mm balls. This or 4mm balls throughout. More testing needed, but I am sure the balance can be found as it has more than enough power when filled with 3mm balls (I only use it below 12oclock power).
