Hammalamma, that dabber looks like it has some awesome scooping capabilities for nice, big, globs. I fortunately grabbed one of the highly educated ti pen dabbers while ALT had their black friday deals going on and have been thankful for no more ugly, cheap dental picks, and especially any forsaken paper clips.
I love my new skillet stand! It doesnt hurt that my poor broken skillet got fixed too!

Hee, hee, hee, good job bro!
How did you get the tight wrap with the handle with Ti rod? Do you have an inert chamber?
GW, I had to google inert chamber, I wish I had one. I just used two needle nose pliers to bend and wrap the handle and then ground the last lil bit smooth. The tip is just forged and ground and then polished up on the wheel. I also have one with a sword blade around here some where. A friend of mine works at a welding store, kinda like airgas, and he has a new found love of bho. So I have a bunch of ti rod to play around with. He also gave me some tungsten rods as well, weird stuff, hard to work with. I don't think I can get it hot enough. I always wondered is a tungsten nail or pad work would work well.

Found em, the one on the left was made very quickly for immediate use, the one in the middle is for the nail and last one is supposed to be a katana but its pretty beat up from lots of use.
Cool!
Our Ti wands were made for us in an inert chamber, by building up a ball on the end of some Ti weld wire using TIG.
Alas, I only had a run made for all the Skunkpharmers, in a borrowed chamber, but they work so slick I will be looking for a chamber available on a regular basis.
Tungsten electrodes may be 2% Thoriated, so I would make sure your's were not before puffing the vapors off of them. Thorium oxide is LSA radioactive.

I vap my oil using Aqua lab tech. 45 degree 14mm vapor curve in my locally blown bong. I have a both a glass and the highly educated ti dabber. My oil dish is sick little glass dish i picked up from a local head shop for like 5 bucks.
I think I mite get my self a health stone glass oil pipe....anyone ever try these ??? they seem nice for a easy traveling oil pipe.
and a vapor globe bubbler with a ti nail. to complete my arsenal

i have a nice steam roller for travel.

ti welding wire is not pure titanium, i dont think its a good material to dab with, but it might be, just not sure.
HK,the ti rod I am using is grade 1 ti, from what I read It seems to me that grades 1 to 4 should be fine for dabbing, also dabbers don't get that hot, they don't need to be in full contact with the nail or pad. My friends and I can not tell the difference between the taste of my ti dabbers and the one they spent 20 bucks on.
Hey GW, you really like a ball dabber? I like a flat end with scoop capabilities. I can't get nothin out my dish with a ball end.
Grade 1 through 4 ti are all considered cp or commercially pure. My welding rod is probably purer than the grade 2 that is used for nails, skillets and dabbers. I almost think you have something against me HK. You are very fast to correct me on anything you can even when I'm not wrong.

i think it depends on the device. the ball works great with an oil well.
I still need to try one.
dont be all sensitive when i am just looking out for your well being. definitely not in your own best interest.
i was given a piece of ti welding wire before, it was extremely malleable. and when heated to a hi heat it reacted much different than pure titanium. there was no way in hell it was pure ti, it was way too flexible. if you have a piece of pure titanium wire thats great, but as i understood it, welding wire is something else.
what, is this the second time ever, omg, must be a conspiracy for sure right? lol

Sensitivity is definitely not one of my strong points. My well being is not in my own best interest, how so?
Called my friend today he told me that its not welding wire but just ti rods. Sorry for the misinformation everyone.
I think its the third, but who's counting.No there's no conspiracy, but omg lol really...
Look dude I my intentions are not bad, I was just asking a question and your defensive response told me all I need to know.
Actually, not all Ti weld wire has alloying additives. Grade 1 CP weld wire doesn't and was, a good choice for this application. CP weld wire is just CP rod rolled thinner.
To HMK's point, most Ti weld wire is alloyed with aluminum and vanadium however, because 6AL4V and 5A2.5V are the most common form Ti is used in commercially and most of what is floating around. Not a salubrious choice for something you are going to breath the heated vapors off of and they add their own flavors as well. Any of ya'll trying to emulate HL's creations, should proceed with that awareness.
I was actually marveling at what a tight wrap you managed to achieve HL, despite Ti high yield strength and low modulus of elasticity. It has around three times the tensile strength of steel, and bends about three times as far before exceeding its ultimate yield strength and taking a permanent set. Good job!
Way easier to do hot, but that requires inert gas shielding to prevent the colorful straw to blue Ti alpha case oxide formation, or worse.
As ES noted, I use the balled wand with an oil well. I actually load the well using a thin spatula sold to pharmacists for hand counting out pills, or load a small amount just dipping a weld wire in the oil and then heating the wire over the oil well, so that the oil drips off.

first off, what i said was, that if others are looking out for your health interests, and you are overly sensitive and dont see it as help, and instead decide its an attack, it wont help you if there is positive information to be learned and you become blind to it by treating it as being of hostile motive, dig?
as for that second part, i dont get that at all, and dont recall a defensive response. is it this thread you are talking about, or some past transgression i have made?
i think you should reread this more closely, if you notice, its a logically deficient idea. its kind of a tautology of some sort or something like that, but i dont know the lingo too good really.
any time anyone corrects someone; wether or not the one being corrected believes they are wrong or not has nothing to do with the actions of the corrector, its completely irrelevant.

There is nothing logically deficient in his statement.
Intuition and logic are separate concepts. You are mixing them.
Tautologies are logical statements that are true no matter the truth values of their atomic constituents.
For example the statement "It is either daytime or it is not daytime" is a tautology because either way, the statement is true. Law of the excluded middle.
Logical connectives are also tautologies.
You do come off a bit arrogantly imo, but that could simply be a matter of style I suppose. I don't know you.
Only you know you're true intentions. If they are as you say, then no worries. I do appreciate the health concerns.
At any rate, I really just wanted to talk about logic
ya thanks, i was hoping someone who knew would pipe up. but the statement he made is not really valid is it? i mean every time anyone thinks someone else is incorrect, it seems irrelevant for the one being questioned to say because they believe themselves to be right, you are automatically in the wrong to question them.. . you see what i mean, its not quite right somehow. just the last part he adds, "even when i'm not wrong", it doesnt logically fit in with the rest of the statement.
if the statement that i find obscure is simplified, its like this:
You correct me even when I'm not wrong.
if one reads that, it does look rather odd. its pretty clear that there is something wack there
