Scubagen Mods

oh damn, I should go test that myself, I'm a cinnamon-O-holic.

My concern is more about a chemical reaction with this stuff over if it will break when dropped, will malic acid or cinnamon that is in some juices have a chemical reaction and crack the Lexan, I have had it happen with Map tanks ?

What about dop wax and a dowel for beveling...?

I used to make cabs this way...

should work just fine, albeit a little more time consuming

I have tested the tanks with cinnamon...it eats them up... acrylic too. It also oxidizes aluminum pretty quickly. That cinnamon oil is some powerful stuff.

Would be interesting to test the pH of that cinnamon juice.... Or maybe it could be used to take the barnacles off boats....

When will the next sign up for group buy 2 be?

I can attest to the fact that it strips paint rather efficiently too. I used to have black ego bats now I have stainless

I gave away a 250ml bottle of juice at Vapestock that had cinnamon instead of menthol.
If you saw my funny face in the pics posted that was why. I don't like cinnamon . yuck.

So if Classwife melts her new Scubagen you will know why.

Forgot to post yesterday, I got all the springs in from mjmetz, each person has their springs in a little baggy. I will add the nails to them so everything is ready.

It probably won't melt, more like explode, lol. Just kidding. With poly, it will start to etch and then will crack. Depending on how diluted the cinnamon in the juice is it will cause the tubing to fail between a few hours and a few days.

I haven't looked into it, but I wonder if there might be some kind of thin film coating that would not get the user sick, would last a while and not be affected by the cinnamon oils. There are an awful lot of cinnamon lovers out there.

No offense, but you guys still vape something than can do that why exactly?

 

[caillel]

No problem. If you like cinnamon, you need to replace the lexan with a stainless tube.

or Pyrex,,,,,,,

I looked high and low for Pyrex, it's very expensive for this because it needs to be custom made . I would love to do some mods wit Pyrex if I could find it cheaply enough.

 

[Gummy Bear]

Well you do get what you pay for, and I am working on it. So perhaps soon. (well a month or 3)

 

[lorderos33]

were you able to find some pyrex tube under 1" ID that was not like $70/ft?

Look for 22mm x 1.6mm wall borosilicate tubing.

I'll check it out now. I was looking for SAE measurements....maybe that's where I went wrong

 

[PKZap27]

I found some glass tubing the other day and my next order from McMaster-Carr will include a piece of Borosilicate Glass for the MAP tank. It's $8.99 per foot, and I'll post the results if it fits and if it works out ok.
