Yes it would. Damn thing is almost a foot long, the Wizard is only 10".
Maximum temperature is 410 degrees F. PG vaporizes at 412 degrees. Pretty darn close. I'm just trying to figure out how to hide it from the misses. Going to have to ponder this one. You'll be seeing me in obituaries if the ole lady catches me with another um.... plaything.
nico, Where'd you get those diamond glass drill bits or whatchamacallits?
Charged...just tell her she screwed up your wiz so now you need this one to make up for it.
I had the diamond bits from rock carving stuff I do...yeah, another hobby of mine and the kids. You can get sets of them at MSC or Harbor Freight if you want cheapos. Not really a glass drill, just different shapes of grinding bits like for a Dremel tool. Lowes or Home Depot would probably have some, but not real fine tips. Just keep them cooled with water and go slow as the diamond grit shatters when it gets hot.
48lowes...thats what I was thinking...Charged will buy one and gut it for us......wont cha buddy?

Yea OK, Let's see $15(Wizard) Vs $140(Vapir) hmmm... maybe.
You talking these? Opened the tool box and there they are staring me in the face.
looks good. couldn't you use a piece of foil with i little hole in it on the finger end just for testing purposes? Just asking cause it's obvious to me your smarter than me. Please keep us posted as you proceed.
There ya go...exactly what I have. Use the long fine tip and be careful when you get to the point where its almost through. Dont try to ream the hole bigger by pushing the whole tip through...it will grab a hold and crack it. Back the tip off an open it bigger by using a circular motion with the very tip.
That was just suggested 5card...I just want to keep it simple without an adjusting orifice. It worked great just giving it the finger when needed and would be no fuss with slightly different viscosity of fluid. IMO anyway.
Damn...I cant believe I dont want to go hi-tech.....I must be sick!

Go to a head shop. Thats where the crackheads get the pyrex tubes to smoke their crack out of. also there is a battery tester that uses a small pyrex tube like that you can get a autoparts store, but for bulk I don't know.
Only 7ml a minute is their biggest...hell I do that in 15 seconds flat. lol
I bet they aint cheap...find them anywhere besides YT?

I'm trying to get some samples (I just put that video up there). Yea probably not cost effective. At least not at the moment. These guys are suppose to be the USA distributor but they don't list it on the website yet.
Alrighty then...I finally received some Duran tubing samples so I can test it to see if it can take the abuse of being a reliable atty.
Stay tuned......
Stay tuned......
Ok...this tube is looking good so far. I got it super hot on the gas stove and plunged it in to cold water...no problem. I stuck my 230 watt soldering iron inside for about 5 minutes red hot while dripping PG/water on it...nothing. Even having the iron right against creating a localized hot spot had no effect. One thing is that this stuff conducts the heat extremely well so I may have to rethink the mounting a little.
Have you torched it yet? I mean tried melting or forming it at all using a torch? How much did you get? Mine won't be here till Friday. Pretty damn slow in shipping and the shipping cost was more than the tubes were.
Not yet...I'll give it a try after I pick the kids up. Then I will have to see how it reacts with some holes drilled in it. I might have a way around that though...which would be preferred.
Bus hell...They can walk...only 5 miles! Thats the problem with Catholic schools...no buses. We just pay for the 15 public ones I pass every day.
Sorry, missed your ?...they didn't give up much of it...I got a 2-3" length of 4 sizes. Stuff aint cheap evidently...you know how those CBT are.
Well I put the propane torch to it for a couple minutes and nothing. I had it at the tip of the blue flame and it was glowing yellow around the tube but it didn't soften it. It did form a hairline crack at the end about 1/8" long but I think its more from the way it was cut than anything. I think it transfers the heat TOO well to work it with what I have. This stuff will definitely take a little nichrome coil inside of it being heated for a few seconds at a time.
That's good to know, it may be a blessing or maybe not. All depends on what your plans are. I have 8 feet coming so will have some extra to break and melt.
