Kill, now I know why you look like that. Now while I might have "said something like that" you articulated my intellectual mush with great clarity and panache. I stand in awe....no shock just awe.
Enough already

Last night UPS delivered some pyrex tubes to me. So tonight I will tinker with the DID clone
Wow..... the pyrex on those are 0.3mm thick according to description!! That's a very very thin tube!
That's good it'll heat up fast then. I have some FQ coming in from the states soon so ill experiment with these. I ordered 2 packs just in case

I tried to copy and past that but it wouldn't work. It does look like its working good. I ordered a 180mm so maybe I can ship some samples out to some people once it arrives.
You could follow the original thread here
As for an update, I think some people moved on to ceramic coated resistance wires. People still trying out the quartz/ss mesh but from a quick glance, I find most report slightly less than better results that the normal set up.
I still have my pyrex in the original mailing box - still waiting for an aga-t purchase. (My did clone is falling apart and don't want to mess with my zap
)

I got three Aga-Ts sent up from Clouds of Vapor in Floriday. Took about 15 days to get to me in late November.
Thanks for the info. Waiting for juggies to have them in stock and just get it with my next juice order.
Question - did you order the aga-t with the clear tube? If so, could you tell me if it is threaded?
Thanks

I made a video using Pyrex on my Orion with a 3/4 wrap 32awg kanthal. It pumps out the vapor. Check it out here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...360620-fused-quartz-scuba-q-tubing-co-op.html
yes, I ordered them with clear tubes. No, the tube is not threaded - it is held in compression against an o-ring in the bottom and top caps. The aga uses a coaxial conductor design, like the did does. The ground is a hollow tube that is threaded ans screws in to the bottom and top caps.
Slohand and I were playing with it for a couple hours but couldn't get it to go right. I got my dud back up and running with the Pyrex but the coils would glow red fairly quickly around the Pyrex. I gave up.
I don't think it is a game changer. I have been following the threads for a couple weeks and was even thinking of getting into the co-op for fused quarts 10mm pieces that had been annealed and flame polished. I decided not to.
I respect BJ43 and his opinions. He gave up on the idea after doing tests on 36 variation in 8 different setups
Pyrex isn't as safe as fused quartz because it doesn't take heating/cooling as well. Think of leaving your pv in your car in the cold winter then hitting it for a vape
Cutting fused quartz is very hard to do as it tends to shatter into tiny bits/fragments. Even if you are able to cut the fused quartz it is then not safe as it needs to be annealed and flame polished.
There was a guy who has worked with glass for years in the original thread who explained all of this. When you cut the glass it may look fine but if you shine polarized light through it you can see the waves aren't even. This shows that while the glass looks normal it is actually under stress. When you anneal the glass you heat it up to the point just before it melts. The stress in the glass is then released.
I decided the risk of puffing on my pv and having one of these glass tube blow up while I inhale isn't worth the risk.
Using fused quartz that has been annealed, and flame polished should be safe. Problem with that is even with a .3mm thickness it just isn't very efficient. See post below.
hmmm?......wonder if there is some rule you aren't allowed to quote from the co-op section outside of the co-op section? If so and a mod reads this please leave my post but remove the quotes I added from BJ43.
Thanks

I still have some glass tube on the way with some mesh, so I haven't had a chance to try it out yet. However it looks like Scubabatdan has already moved on to porous ceramic as a possible wick relpacement and he's having good luck with it so far. I'm very interested in seeing his results and maybe being able to get my hands on some to try out.
I've been using mine for 2 weeks now and not 1 short and vapor production rock as you could see in the video
