Do THEY !

That link explained PID far better than I could have even with an HNC in electronics.

So stick that up your pipe and smoke it.
Or were you asking the question so that you could give some smart arsed answers..... POINTLESS

Some of our fraternity do love their gadgets don't they. These vapourisers make great "Boys toys" for those beekeepers that already have a garage full of assorted and hardly ever used power tools plus the must have ride on lawn mower and the Chelsea tractor. I'm still a Philistine (Dinosaur?) and will still be using oxalic dribble in December and for the last 50+ years have always managed to light my smoker using a single match and am totally unimpressed by the size of the "flamethrowers" used by alpha male beekeepers to light theirs.

I wouldn't call a sublimox a boys toy or gadget at all . I've been using mine for years it's by far the quickest method of vapourising. when your time is money you have as efficient as possible.
 
I was being ironic.....

Do you think there will be a Sublimox price war?

Price drop of £40 from Abellows as soon as Thrones took them on board!

Probably need more suppliers selling them to get a price war. I wonder if Paynes will jump on the bus?

:iagree:
Or how long before Mr Ching produces a knock off... or even our Ukrainian buddies... Varrox and Varomoor will become more bee gadgets for the museum!:hairpull:


David????... ONLY my mother ever calls me David.... and then only if I have been a verry, verrry naughty boy !!!!

Well you could try to make one using a the same stuff you use to warm up a 10oz Mini crucible, but not sure how easy it would be to mod a crucible and make the whole thing safe to use
 
Yes ... but it leaves a mess, just as Api-Bioxal does in any sublimator.

It's those pesky 'cutting agents' they mix in to make the, hugely valuable, white oxalic acid powder go further ... before packing it into small foil packages and selling it for large amounts of money.
 
But does it work with Apibioxal?
I wondered the same thing, but I found & checked out a link from the Thrones sublimox web page yesterday. A picture is shown of the cup after using a half dose. It worked a treat but everything was well gunked up. Probably not too long before you have a problem with a blocked pipe!!

I’ll avoid it then ;)

Nope price drop of only £10 at Abelo...it was retailed at £360, plus you get 2 spare "O" rings. I think the latest shown drop is from the recommended retail price; which Abelo never charged anyway.
Doubt there will be much of a war there is a limited market for this type of specialist equipment. Just good to see you can get them in the UK these days.

On ebay at £390 from Abello.... now £350.

Favorite Auntie going to visit some "friends" in Palermo over Christmas, will ask me to pick one up for me at probably a fraction of the price!

Interesting comparisons. Well done for finding the Italian site, never did find one there.
Looks like Hoppy's Aunt will save him about £20....and no spare "O" rings.
Whoever said the Cornish were tight...not me :D

Auntie is married to a man of great influence in Palermo, so will acquire a Sublimox way below the market price!
Copper wire was invented in Cornwall by two Cousin Jacks fighting over a farthing!
