Nice work in making parts as near to original as possible! Sometimes making the tooling takes longer than making the thing. Hats off!
I tried a home plating kit and while it's certainly possible to get good results yourself the key as others have said is the surface prep. What...
Some people report that but I think it depends on your vapouriser. I have tried Tilley Happy Mantles in my 320's and they form lovely but are not...
Certainly a unique piece!
I'm really interested in the radioactive elements and recently read an article in which Thorium Mantles were mentioned which I had not seen...
Nice guard, no problem with the Silver solder, will not budge.
Hi, I am selling a Bowlfire guard on eBay and a large bid has just come in with 6 hours to go. The bidder is Auctionkg11 and my alarm bells went...
Thanks for the info, I think the petrol I had was a bit old so put a squeeze of Zippo fuel in and it came to life. I think I prefer Paraffin as a...
Just cleaned out the Paraffin and put some unleaded in. It took a while but eventually roared into life. Thanks again. Steve
Wasn't a silly question at all, yes was trying to run it on Paraffin :oops: Thanks for the heads up, will try again with the right fuel :thumbup:...
Hey all, I have just acquired a Primus 821 blow lamp but after cleaning up it seems to bee running wrong. Instead of a proper jet like flame it is...
If no luck on this forum then Google images throws up some pics if you type in Vapalux Vapouriser.
That looks good and should withstand an Atomic blast!
If they are the threaded type at the base I would just unscrew and mechanically clean out with a stiff bit of thin wire. If the tip is clogged I...
Ah yes, I didn't read the post properly :oops:
The temperature of the tip of a Vapouriser is around 500 degrees C, I'm assuming your using Silver Solder?
I'm pretty sure any liquid repair would fail at these temperatures but my probe thermometer is broke so not sure what temp the glass gets too? I...
The drilling is pretty easy, after lots of experimenting I can do about 5 jets the full length of the drill bit before one breaks though it...
I am currently in the process of developing replaceable jets for Vapalux vapourisers. If things go well then I see no reason why it will not work...
I own a couple of Aladdin 23 lamps and know its best to keep the chimney glass clean and let it get to temperature gradually. Someone told me...
