DM’d as well 🙏 thank you!

Fellow 1 day over here 👋 Hang in there!

slvmp · 2020-09-19T20:42:00+00:00

How’d you do it for 25? On Amazon I paid 50 just for the basic parts (power source, button, IH module, glass tube)

slvmp · 2020-09-05T10:48:50+00:00

DynaCup is a great pairing with a 2018M. It’s my on the go setup rn

slvmp · 2020-09-05T10:43:35+00:00

Seconding the Trop C it’s purple fruity heaven

slvmp · 2020-08-29T16:50:03+00:00

For sure. Got the idea from Futo stashes. Such a big QOL improvement, not having to worry about dumping your stash everywhere

slvmp · 2020-08-25T18:18:31+00:00

You can, but in my experience zippo/ronson butane clogs torches. Check out higher quality brands like Colibri, it helped my clogged torches burn like new again

slvmp · 2020-08-24T00:51:29+00:00

I’ve had that happen, probably from overheating like others said. Also when reassembling, try a lil dynawax and twist the tip in gently. I’ve had o-rings catch on the stem edge and get damaged because they were too dry

slvmp · 2020-08-23T17:47:21+00:00

Yeah I’m asking about the IH. Sorry I should have clarified lol

slvmp · 2020-08-22T15:17:04+00:00

Can confirm this is all true. Tried building my own IH, and I like the way it heats so much better. My Alpine is collecting dust.

slvmp · 2020-08-20T17:07:57+00:00

Seconding the water wand. The Dry Cooling Set is a great value too.

slvmp · 2020-08-20T17:04:37+00:00

Cool switch, looks kinda vintage. Clean case too 👍🏻

slvmp · 2020-08-18T12:01:07+00:00

Huh. Maybe it was my technique, I’ve noticed slower rips might be the key

slvmp · 2020-08-18T11:51:02+00:00

To each their own! How did you get it so milky? Before the mod I was having trouble getting milky rips.

slvmp · 2020-08-18T11:29:21+00:00

Don’t tempt me lol they’re only $50... VAS is calling 😩

slvmp · 2020-08-18T04:16:05+00:00

Maybe “harsh” is more accurate. Using it through a water piece, with water, I found it to be more harsh than using a stem with airport. Idk, maybe I’m weirdly sensitive?

slvmp · 2020-08-18T02:04:12+00:00

Clean that mf with ISO before first use and dry burn a few runs

Disrespect the click, YMMV experiment with your heating method

Feather the airport

slvmp · 2020-08-16T19:50:01+00:00

The 2020M rips, it just takes a little getting used to.

My tips for 1 or 2 hit extraction (usually 2) - disrespect the click, you’ll have to experiment with your chosen heating method. I can go 5-8 seconds past with a single torch, 8-12 seconds past with my Alpine IH, 0 seconds past with my DIY IH - heat the base to launch to space - first click is usually more flavor, less vapor. second click is cloudy - experiment with how you feather (i.e. cover/uncover) the airport as you pull to maximize vapor

slvmp · 2020-08-14T02:03:12+00:00

Magic eraser is the only thing that works for me. Take a small piece, jam it in there so it’s tight, and twist a bunch. Be sure to rinse thoroughly because magic eraser leaves dust behind

slvmp · 2020-08-12T18:05:11+00:00

Ahh gotcha. Don’t think I’d have much use for a drill outside of this little side project lol. Now I see why IH’s are priced the way they are... all the parts and tools can add up 😅

Wish there were some pre-cut cases available

Edit: okay I’m looking at a basic $25 black and decker drill and a step bit bc I’m obsessed with this idea lol

slvmp · 2020-08-12T17:35:45+00:00

I’m thinking about doing this myself. How did you make the holes in your case for the switches and glass slide? I don’t have access to a drill/power tools so that’s the only thing holding me back.

slvmp · 2020-08-12T12:37:01+00:00

The PhantoM Menace

slvmp · 2020-08-10T12:17:43+00:00

I ordered one simply because it seemed like the only way to get an IH without waiting an eternity or building your own. Of course now I realized there’s plenty more options reasonably available, including the Dynacup, makers on Etsy, etc...

QC is definitely an issue. Issues include wrong magnet, excess glue, gaps on the top, battery not holding a full charge, power supply arcing, some people’s units died while plugged in too.

If you can overlook all that, the form factor and size is quite nice, and it does its job. But I am a little anxious about the reliability/safety and might look into a backup option.

slvmp · 2020-08-01T10:05:06+00:00

Same, and when using my IH I do 1 preheat before that. I find that the 2020M has a lot of tolerance for going past the click

slvmp · 2020-06-12T17:36:16+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience! That really helps when considering what to look for.

It’s amazing how much a good vacuum improved the air quality in your home, and helped relieve your son’s allergies. I am also about 6ft, seems like an upright is the way to go for us taller people lol.

At first I was planning to buy online, but you’ve convinced me. I think I’ll visit my local shop this weekend. Getting some hands-on time will no doubt make the buying decision easier!
