It seems this will be my favourite FlexValve-enhanced configuration for the customized VG Classic series until at least 2024 i think.
Lets proceed to a visual description starting from top to bottom, left to right. All items about semi-DiY (refurbished/modified):
Full-Metal "Top" replacement for VaporGenie Classic/Sherlock Bronze HerbalAire MouthPiece with Permanent #55 (0.052"/1.321 mm) PinHole FlexValve, ~3.5 cm long Silicone plunger from Eyce Hammer Bubbler PVC 5/16" I.D. 7/16" O.D. aquarium (food-grade) tubing 5 cm long Oil-impregnated Sintered Bronze Bearing as Optical Probe support Mating Junction with Optical Probe support & optional cotton inside VaporGenie Classic Alu. with thumb-site to Twin-Paths Core-PinHole
What still awaits evaluation:
Optic Probe(s) measuring relative opacity, velocity & pressure
A single light beam would only capture relative opacity changes, a pair of beams might manage to add velocity and hence also pressure - possibly even turbulences in the audible range (sound)! Conjunction with a simple/cheap wireless BlueTooth (stereo) module comes to mind spontaneously!
17-Holes metal-Disc with Isolation Thermal Pads in IH scenario
Necessary « susceptor » alloy converts IH energy into conductive/radiative vectors ready for conversion to convective/radiative mode. Thermal Pads required to control/adjust coupling between "Hot Spot" and metal shell.
Infra-Red driven SiC-ONLY (no Metal Disc/Hybrid Core) pre-heating
VG's Duocel type of SiC Foam being opaque to light when over ~4.2 mm thick, as i vaguely recall, should capture IR heat and temporarily store it until conversion is performed. That would be similar to "Plan-B" except no extra-ot exhaust gases (H2O, CO2) to contribute in generation of a convective vector.
2-sides Converging LAVACapsule with 90 degrees convective turn
Single-core experiments quickly revealed a tendency for heat to "focuss" on my bowl's center so i searched for « defocussing » remedies. Having a 2-cores LAVACapsule i figured a 90 degrees turn toward the peripheral middle "fumet" collector will solve this issue.
Remember all my "Tops"/"Spheres" invariably come with a "Top-of-Bowl Screen" capable of receiving a tiny bit of sticky extract the size of a pinhead. When pre-heating it melts and soaks a center spot until the final step floods the bowl with a pulse of heat that "releases" the "transports" the BLENDED (CBD Rosin + THC Dry Flowers) "fumet" away; it turned out doing so enhances my aroma/taste appreciation significantly.
The VG "Top" illustrated here has been featured with my "Universal Split-Paths On-Top Core-PinHole System", that means it's retro-compatible but works best with a modified handle. The internal On-Top PinHole is configured as "Permanent" but still connects to the thumb-site so to provide simultaneous manual control, to some degree (most fortunately turbulences from "pumping" appear to be what's helping to set the "fumet" in motion towards my MouthPiece). Overall fresh oxygen is added at 3 different locations as part of the "conditioning".
...
As a side-note, the motor bushing got torched instensely to purge it of lubricating oil, although it's actually never in contact with my cannabic path to the lungs.
Additionally, the optical « Bio-Feedback » probing must rely on light beams modulated with a carrier referenced to a master clock also feeding a phase-coherent quadrature demodulator. E.G. the 2 beams can never be active at a same time so to implement strict separation while equally rejecting outside noise. Audible signals conveyed via BlueTooth would probably support display animation as one of the visualization models readily available in VLC Player, for example; if such wild assumption ever proves correct this could serve as visual feedback for newbie "HR" training/initiation and karaoke-style social (sharing) applications - or perhaps even research.
"Plan-B" is NOT intended to ever become "Plan-A" because i'm not satisfied having exposure to contaminants from the butane lighter and bottle. "Plan-A", on another hand, promises superior cleanliness and accuracy by combining IH power to the Curie-effect of specially-formulated alloys (see JAi's 'PyroFoil' made available in 21 Curie temperatures), and/or IR pre-heating only using induction to "read" temperature wirelessly in presence of a 17-Holes Metal Disc - which may seem far-fetch but still a prospect worthy enough to want at least to give it a fair try.
In the dreamer corner, i've pushed the optimism one more step by assuming it's a viable option to integrate LED lamps that can illuminate my "fumet" from INSIDE the bong, for a light & sound effect... Quite frankly i could have used another 10 years making it so perfect the manufacturer might be tempted enough to test it all by himself at last.
This exact setup been my favourite consumption tool since August i think. A twin-flames torch-lighter works best.
