The coil is the hardest part to find. I had to search a billion stores and ended up buying a brass tube instead of a copper tube. I regretted this seeing as I thought it wouldn't conduct heat in the same way copper does, but turns out brass is like 60% copper so in the end everything worked out fine. I advise people to buy them from opitec (online store) because I bought mine in a store at five times the price opitec sells them... I was pretty pissed when I found out

@KonijnKlok

Indeed, I get my tubes at Opitec too.

Did you check out the link in the description?

@masynmachien I really hope this is life's most challenging confrontation for you. If reincarnation really does exist and you have an option, please consider an amoeba.

[masynmachien]

@fronkenpoop Would you consider checking what it is really about before making this kind of comment?

In the description you find a link to what this video is part of.

Or maybe your kind of reincarnation could explain why there are so many amoeba: all those people dedicating part of their life to educating children...

[masynmachien]

@fronkenpoop Luckily discussing where to get the tubes is not the most challenging confrontation in my life.

Organising creative workshops for children, in which I use the tubes, is however quite a gratifying "challenge".

[masynmachien]

@fronkenpoop I have to excuse myself for making an error in the word order in my previous answer. I should have been "What makes you compare people discussing what materials to use for creative projects (for use in creative workshops for children or personal projects does not matter) compare to amoeba or calling them shallow?" (English isn't my native language). I did not mean to use an expression like "you people". The term people was referring to me and Konijnklok. I will remove that answer

[fronkenpoop]

@masynmachien You digging a hole here aren't you, using phrases such as "you people". You know absolutely nothing about me, what I do, my background... or in fact anything. So from your presumptive detective work, you know everything, and "you people" (including me) , in your opinion, do not. It then makes me equally fascinated when you do not understand why I find it highly amusing when two grown adults* enthusiastically discuss where they source their pipes; Nothing more pressing? LOL.

[fronkenpoop]

@masynmachien I think you did not read the context of my message. It was in relation to an exchange between yourself and koniknklok (aged 19), neither of which I understand are children. So in this respect, I find it just lovely when you can share a coffee and a chat on where you obtain your tubes... Fascinating.

[fronkenpoop]

@masynmachien Now now... Calm down. Dont get all upset. Have a cup of tea and the last word, delete the comments, ban my user ID, and make yourself a happier, shallower person that you obviously already are. Then, after you have done these challenging tasks, have a really nice day.
