    The Pyrex SS hybrid Wick

    I actually consider using a lightbulb as a heating element. Then I started thinking about lasers and then sharks with lasers and then jubbles with guns in em, it went down hill from there.

    Smoktech ZMax Owners - Pics., Tips, Tricks and Quirks

    I'm sorry it is at your expense but when I scrolled down and saw the post I laughed enough to put the tea I was drinking up my nose. I've done things that were worse and no, I'm not sharing them.:)

    I need a cheap 18650 mod

    I know I shouldn't because I'll get jumped on but I'd to clarify that the Zmax v2 can easily be had in the 80ish USD range. That makes the leap you mention much larger. At almost 160.00 less the Zmax v2 gives you accurate VV, Beast Mode, and VW. It isn't as polished as the Provari and I...

    The Pyrex SS hybrid Wick

    That's the same cutoff wheel I have. By the way, a diamond knife sharpener works well for polishing...

    Man, 4ft. That's going to be one heck of a tall Atty.

    The Pyrex SS hybrid Wick

    I really need my tubes. I just thought that we may be able to just "line" the inside of the tube with 2-3 layers of SS instead of a full on wick. Lots of things rolling through my head to try.

    Wanting to buy a mod...hmmmm what should I get?

    If you want a Zmax v2 then you should check out the sale at Madvapes. The roulette wheel spins and you can get up to 25% off. They don't have the SS Zmax v2 in stock but you could pickup one of the others.

    The Pyrex SS hybrid Wick

    I didn't want to just wait for my tubes so I went out to my "find something that works stores", Ace Hardware, Lowes, and Radio Shack. I ended up buying a diamond cutoff wheel for my dremel tool and two krypton flashlight bulbs. The bulbs are still a bit too big and the walls too thick I...

    Precisely! Now if I can find miniature fuel injectors....

    The Pyrex SS hybrid Wick

    Dan, Thanks for the update. The drop of a wrap is interesting. What about a coil insulator? Maybe another piece of glass or something slid down over the coil so you have a SS->glass->coil->glass sandwich? The outer part might work better with something other than glass. Something that...

    The Pyrex SS hybrid Wick

    I got an e-mail from Susan with Wilmad-labglass.com this morning. All it said was: "Thank you again…we got hammered! Susan"

    The Pyrex SS hybrid Wick

    It comes to mind that you could reuse wicks too. I don't know how effective boiling them would be but I think it might be worth a shot. Spent wick gets boiled and a new one dropped in.

    The Pyrex SS hybrid Wick

    While I think it is off topic a bit I see others talking about other possible ideas and I'll throw one out that has come to mind. A pressurized misting system that used the coil only to heat and atomize the juice further. The head would be complex to build though. It would require an electrical...

    My mailman is all about getting me the stuff I ordered. It really bothers him to see me staring at him and mailbox with only bills in it. :blink:

    The Pyrex SS hybrid Wick

    What about fanning the SS out on the top of the wick to flow air over?

    The Pyrex SS hybrid Wick

    You guys are doing a great job of brain storming. I like the idea of a tube with SS and flow through air. With more experiments it may be that if the wick extends past the tube and you direct air over that part you get something similar. It just seems logical to pull the room temperature...

    ZMAx V2 Fire Button Sticking

    Make sure the spring is seated well in the cap. Mine was not and by putting pushing it back into place I relieved some of the spring pressure.

    Zmax cut my thumb...

    Wow, sorry to hear that. Why part of the Z gave you a papercut? I noted that grooves down the sides had edges that felt a bit sharp but mine have worn down and I don't notice them any more.

    Zmax Modified 510 connector post

    I wanted the center post in the 510 connector set higher. I took a thin blade and wiggled the head of the Zmax and it came off. It is a press fit so it took a bit of wiggling while being careful not to scratch it. After the cap was off I used a small screw driver to push the center post...

    The Pyrex SS hybrid Wick

    I just got a call from Susan at Wilmad-LabGlass: Manufacturer of NMR and EPR consumables, accessories and lab glassware and equipment. She was very nice and concerned that there may be something odd going on today. They suddenly started getting lots of orders for small quantities and a lot of...
