I'm pretty sure baking soda can't abrade zirconia. Quite the contrary actually...Probably best not to, as you'll be abrading the outer surface. How much that would change their behaviour is hard to say, but it seems rather an aggressive way to clean them, not to mention how hard it's going to be to firmly hold each one in turn as you polish away!
appreciate the comment def gonna just iso wash the balls regularly then haha it isn't really a big deal that the balls discolor since they are hidden was just curious if it would work but def don't wanna ruin the coating hahaProbably best not to, as you'll be abrading the outer surface.

Hey, I'm no expert, it may be some materials used are hard enough that they wouldn't suffer, but considering the ease of using a jet lighter, and hell, even a slight deposit left isn't likely to be disastrous, it seems not the best way. Also, if it did abrade the surface you'll end up with microscopic peaks and troughs on the surface of the material. This can cause uneven heat distribution as the heat tends to collect in the peaks (the edges if you will) and I don't know if that would make it worse next time, get dirtier quicker?
May be so for zirc, but I still can't wait to see them polish up each ball with a set of tweezers!
I'll count the seconds later. Remove the black rubber thing completely and push the inlay all the way down. Usually going 1-2 seconds after the second click
Thanks. I think I have the new glass bowl, with slower click that makes the rubber plug obsolete, that stucks inside the IH. I also have the old one that I don't use, but I would appreciate your counting. With the Wand however, I wait maybe 30 seconds after the second click, the recommended time to elapse.
Thank you, I just counted the seconds on the wand, and after the second click, the light stays on for 10-11 secs, not 30 as I said
Just spent the last quarter of an hour searching the MH website for the deblower option for the reload!Injured wrist playing badminton, but still can manoeuvre this thing. Added deblower back to Reload... Wand gonna be put to test these days, to ease the pain
(doh!)
That’s impressive. What is your wand and setting for this??Medical
Very impressive production - I have been at 540 but this cloud production is what I’ve been looking for. Fully open on the tip and open at the bypass?
That's what my Dad said to my Mum when they first met, nine months prior to my birth.
Glad you enjoy it! Fully open, helix with SCU, air hole closed.
From where please ?Picked up this vaphit x stem the other week.
It has glass beads inside to try and cool things down, also has a little star shaped ruby at the front so the vapor path/airflow doesn't get clogged.
It's ok, doesn't cool anywhere near as much as the native stem does, but it does cool things a little, I can't do as many back to back bowls with it.
It's handy for when my stems are soaking.
It's heavy, satisfyingly heavy... In fact as much as I really prefer lighter stems, the weight of it is my favourite thing.
Weight comes in at 86.56g, while the native tempest is 33.47g.
Got it direct so it was only about £17 Inc postage, for the price it's quite good I think
I got mine from vaphit on AliExpress
