Nice pic but I have a question. How do you get the nail to stay in place ?
The nail stays in place by way of either fins on the titanium nails or dots on the glass nails that makes it "rest" on top of the male joint that the dome slides over......

Damn.. you guys quieted down this weekend..

How do you guys clean ur dome? I was thinking of making a drip pan so to say that I can put my dome on and heating in my toaster oven so I can reclaim the oil that stuck to the sides.

I turn my sink on to run hot hot water... then I let my water rinse all the excess oil away..


Then I clean with ISO and salt :p

Asked the same question once and someone recommended putting my pieces I want washed into a ziplock....adding a couple ounces of Iso. Alch. and swishing it around....then dumping the golden liquid onto a plate to let the Iso. evaporate.......never tried it.....but it sounds good!!!

Did a similar thing. Was fairly potent but harsh as hell.

Seemed like heating it back into a small pyrex pan worked. I was just holding ut with long tweazers and torching it. Letting it drip then scraping again

i always kinda wondered about reclaiming the oil. Never had any real success though.


Get an oil adapter like the clear one you see right in the front..... see how it has a drip catch right there? Seems like about 15-20% of the oil I smoke ends up at the bottom and I just heat it a little and let it drip out into a dish. :)

i just always wondered what the makeup of that residual oil was. Would be kinda cool to run some samples through a lab.

i think it just goes solid > gas > solid (on the glass walls)


I don't know about it changing, maybe slightly with the short exposure to heat... but probably not a whole lot of change.
