So whats the max load for bho?
I've never heard one from TV, and I asked pointedly. I was told if over filled oil goes out the vent holes above the threads and into the socket and onto (if not into?) the switch. I decided to not to that. I've loaded 5 drops (full as near as I could tell), and 1/8 gram or so of wax and taffy without problems.
I believe I read someone put .25 gram in.
One thing sure, the volume inside to hold the oil is not all that big. You can see about half the top plate through the hole in the floor (it's thin). There's also a sleeve (different material, I think?) around the heater itself. Thinking back I'd say maybe 3/16 ID, 5/16 or so OD and 1/8 or so high. Not very much volume to hold the oil.
Good luck with your experiments.

<<< winky face again (it means just kidding)
Although I generally like humor, and typically overindulge in it, this issue to me borders on respect for authority. Something I don't consider a joking matter. We agree to follow the rules when we come here, this issue is well covered. I've no doubt that such respect for authority (or for others for that matter) and willingness to abide by your agreements isn't as big with many of the younger folks around.
Such is life.
