Got one paid for. Cant wait to slap this on my pipe.

I wonder if I could get a original steam machine also and fill the tube with filler so that I can use my pipe tip on the end. Can anyone see a reason why that would not work. Normally the filler would be in the mouthpiece but I would have to put it down in the main tube. With the VST Im stuck with a drip tip or cherry vape adapter and my other long taper stems.

if you remove the VST mouthpiece you have an original steam machine...

then you can put your pipe tip with filler material inside ( if it is ego type B size) on the end and it is ready...

Wow, thats fantastic. Ill have something I can experiment around with. Because of the decorative shroud Ive never found a rebuildable that fits other than the SS Line but it has no built in ego cone to cover the ugly 510 connection. The steam machine is perfect as it will cover the connector and be thin enough to fit.

Here is a pic of the pipe its going on. I love the look of it like in the pic but these mega cartos are horrible IMO. Plus most are dual coil and hard on the 3.7v mod. I can wick a LR coil in the steam machine to work best on the 3.7. Hope nobody minds the pic. Ill post an after pic with the Steam Machine later.

Anyone else had the leaking issue that Pbusardo had? I haven't had any issues at all.

Not one drop of leaking, here. I've overfilled it, laid it down in every possible position, blown through it . . . nada. The closest I've come to leaking is getting a little juice on my fingers when I pull the top off to fill it :p

I think Phil was experiencing over saturation of the filler material. I get a tiny bit of gurgle now and again, but I seriously have had to run only two juice fills on this thing so far. He could have been running into condensation buildup also. VST has been rock solid for me so far.

Maybe so. I haven't had much gurgling at all, even sitting overnight. Maybe he was too easy on the filler? No idea, but I have had maybe a handful of gurgles and zero leaking.

So... is it weird that use my Serial Number to call my Steam Machine the "Six Eleven"?

Anyway, so I had an ego adapter on my ProVari, which you guys already know, is needed.

I was able to pull the pin on the ego adapter and cut down the post so I could get the two to sit a little more flush. Otherwise there is a bit of a gap there and I don't like gaps.

See what ya think

Kalison...you need a cone buddy...

I really would like to order one, but at the exchange rates and shipping... its almost 1/6 the cost of the Steam Machine :( All I gain is that little bit of asthetics which is secondary to me for now :unsure:

I'd rather put that cash towards the Gini update :D
