So, I'm looking for replacement tubing for mine too, but all I can find is tubing good up to 400*F, which is basically 200*C. So that's actually really bad isn't it? I'd consider 200 to be in the high range of vaping temps, but It's still something I'd like to be able to hit safely...No, that is PVC - same base material as Arizer stock but not NSF certified and max temp <200F while an NSF-51 will be >400F.
Go to top right of page Search, use term "amazon AND silicone" or "Plastics AND tubing", click on "This thread only" and you'll get lots of posts with the tubing you want from Amazon, U.S. Plastics, or McMasterCarr. Be mindful of the shipping costs; sometimes USP is less by the foot than Amazon but with shipping the net total is greater.
The tubing cuts easily with scissors.
EDIT: Damn it Stu, there you go again.

Bout to order mine from here if you guys think its good, just wondering, has anyone else ordered it before? Amazon has the better deal, just don't see myself using 25"...Idk...maybe. I do get kind of creative with it, made a practically all glass path for balloons from the two extra "mouth pieces" and a couple pieces of PVC I cut from the balloon whip. I cut the pieces a little short though I think, had to make a support. (Made it out of a paper towel tube and cut some feet out of a cardboard box flap, looks like a rocket.) I even hook the whip up to it, slide on the little o-ring from my cheapy bong stem that happens to be the same size, stick it in the bong, turn the fan to 3 and rip it up. Now, what to do with the extra cyclone bowl and elbow piece...
Also, I know in 200 something pages it has prolly already been mentioned, but can someone provide a link to a piece with a lip on it to cover that hole around the cyclone bowl. Why did they leave it so open like that? Every time I take a elbow pack off and put one on, I feel like there is some dropping in there.

The tubing on eBay should be fine assuming it's as advertised. It's true that 25' is a lot; I still have some after ~18 mos. I don't reclaim nor do I try to clean it, so I replace it when it gets dirty. I use an 18" whip btw.
Sorry don't know what you're ref'g to re covering the hole around the cyclone . . . what hole? All I can think of is the center opening thru which the hot air passes.
IME reclaiming from tubing isn't worth it.How come you don't clean or reclaim, I thought that was the point of getting the silicone tubing. If your just gonna toss it anyways, isn't PVC cheaper?
Your screen doesn't cover the Cyclone bowl? I don't fully understand your question.I'm talking about the big hole in the middle of the unit that you set the cyclone bowl in, I was wondering if someone found something with a outer rim that goes over the open space so I don't have to worry about dropping herbs in there.
My advice is just remove the cyclone bowl from the unit when loading it,I'm talking about the big hole in the middle of the unit that you set the cyclone bowl in, I was wondering if someone found something with a outer rim that goes over the open space so I don't have to worry about dropping herbs in there.

Edit: Hmm how can I explain this better, the open space around the outside of the cyclone bowl on top of the unit. Where herb sometimes falls by accident and you have to turn the whole unit upside down to get it out. I would like to prevent this... I want something that has a raised lip, so as not to cover the hole.(I assume it needs to breath in there or they wouldn't have left it open like that.) But to hover right above it and act like an herb umbrella and extend a little out around the edges of the opening.
No, I'm pretty sure he means the top of the machine between the outside of the CB and the top black plastic rim of the EQ. I think covering this opening would cause the whole unit to get warmer than it should? maybe you could rig a big screen (2"possibly) to fit around the top of the heater? I just flip it over now and then and blow it out or gently shake, but I'm sure there are still at least trace bits of herb in there.

No, the reason for the silicone is ease of use. The stiffness of the pvc makes it difficult to add/remove glass attachments, move the whip around, etc. I've never understood Arizer using pvc, AFAIK the other major manufacturers use silicone.
Then you are talking about the middle hole. That's the airway! You do have the flat screen over the hole, teflon coating side up, right? If the screen isn't fitting tight - and as a little airflow performance improvement for the cyclone - try shaping the screen concave (like a dome) a little bit with your fingers/thumb. Push it thru the top side-ways and the use the glass stick to tuck it down onto the ledge dome up. It will take a few tries to shape it just right so that it is even and sits snug. You will only need to remove it for cleaning occasionally (just push it up from the bottom with the glass stick).
One quick question, I would have added it to the post from yesterday but the edit button is gone.
Is the red light under HEAT supposed to flash constantly?
IIRC, yes it does. It indicates that the heater is being powered up to the set temperature, which is pretty much a steady process.
Im using bags but the vapor isnt as thick as it used to be any help ? Temps vary from 195c -230c max. I usally load the cyclone bowl 1/5 to the black. Meds is also a fine grind.

Make sure you're giving it ample time to heat up before you attach the bag, turn the fan on 1 and I think your temps could be lowerIm using bags but the vapor isnt as thick as it used to be any help ?
