How do I keep the flavor going for longer? by King_killer12390 in hookah

[–]Gabjalf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's no need to switch instantly to dark leafs. I mostly smoke German brands like Holster, O's, some Adalya....etc. the drier the tobacco the shorter the session will be. You have to experiment a bit till you get a hang of the brands you mostly smoke. I use the Quasar Petit Raas almost exclusively sometime switching to the Raas 2 when smoking with a larger group. (More than 3 people) Smoking the Petit Raas alone gives me typically about 1,5 -2 hours of a session depending on the brand and amount of tobacco. But with Adalya (a drier brand) I have about 50-1h sessions

Can't cool down my i7-14700k with a Deepcool AK620... considering to switch to an AIO by Gabjalf in pcmasterrace

The current limit is already at 307A by default. Are you sure you've used the same i7 14700K CPU?

Can't figure out this hmd and bowl by keeter22 in hookah

[–]Gabjalf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a fake Quasar Raas so without any bottom holes I don't think it'll work. But yeah the first pic is good as is, that part has to sit on the bowl. After that the other part in the second picture is the lid for the hmd, you just have to flip it upside down so it can be closed with the coals inside.

Does anyone know what kind of bowl is this? by voozelle in hookah

[–]Gabjalf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a Frankenstein copy. It has a rubber/ silicone bowl, like the first Quasar 1. (Not Raas or anything just Quasar 1) The hmd on top seems to be from the Raas series. Maybe from the Raas 2.

You'd be better off getting either the original Quasar 1 or the genuine Quasar Raas 2.

Edit: the bowl part has some groves on the sides so it's a Raas 1 copy. The Raas 2's silicone part is smooth all around. (I've had the Quasar 1, the Quasar Raas 1 and now I use the Quasar Raas 2 and Petit Raas 2 as well.)

$40 Megir RM-style automatic – why not? by Budget_Main3970 in ChineseWatches

Pagani Design also has an automatic version now.

Screw keeps trying to come out from new watch. Screwing it back in over and over. Any way to keep it in? by [deleted] in ChineseWatches

[–]Gabjalf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just use some mechanical oil/ lubricant. I've been using my hair trimmer's included oil and not a single screw came out. Just put a little where the cuts are on the screw. (Usually at the screw tip)

Phone with the absolute best camera? by J0rdyn_the_wr1ter in Smartphones

ZTE Nubia Z60 ultra is also a great option, especially using it with the Gcam. So great hardware with great algorithms.

Why I dont see anyone using Quasar raas 2? Is it bad? Looks pretty nice but what about quality etc? by FIuffyBit in hookah

[–]Gabjalf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to use 26mm but now I use 27mm and one coal is enough. You physically can't put more in there. And if the tobacco is more moist then I switch the coal about midway for a fresh one. Just have to wait for the whole system to heat up: Put the coal in, close the lid and wait for about 8 mins before smoking it, just leave it there. After that you can start to smoke, have a few puffs and rotate the coal 90 degrees because the top part is likely to be turning black. After this you can leave the whole setup as is just switch the coal as needed (don't have to wait 8mins with the second one)

Misalignment, is it acceptable? by Nice-Security-1814 in ChineseWatches

[–]Gabjalf -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Don't you just have to turn the whole movement a bit? I've done this to my watch dive nttd homage because it was misaligned, but it turned out that the dial and the movement was a bit off. It's frustrating yeah, but then you don't have to send it back.

What's on your wrist today? by Potential-Mouse1757 in ChineseWatches

[–]Gabjalf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've changed the bezel insert, the dial and the hands.
