Is it designed to be released in a specific way w/the MM? or will the heat from the bulb of my Flowtron zapper release it just the same?

since it is designed to hang below the Mosquito Magnet I do not know how it would be released if used in another device. It should work as designed

Well, I've seen pictures of the devices, and it looks similar. I think there the bulb is used to draw a vacuum, whereas in a blood pressure cuff it applies positive pressure, so maybe the valve direction would be reversed? If that's the case, I'm not sure the rubber in this bulb is strong enough when it snaps back to shape in order to create a sufficient effect. By the way, a google search came up with some interesting info - Walgreens has a pretty extensive line of such products for a neighborhood drugstore, and Wikipedia notes the devices have no evidence backing up that they produce any permanent "improvement", and can be dangerous to use. Looks like it might be cheaper to just buy another at the drug store.

No my son uses it. He works for Loomis and has no issues at all he just loves how powerful it packs a huge beam for such a small size. I have the big brother of it and it does not get too hot to hold even being on for an hour. on high setting. But I can just say to me it just gets a little warm with mine it puts out 600lumens on high. And that one just gets slightly warm too my hands after an hour. Then I have to use my backup battery. I would suggest as well to get the tenergy battery kit that comes with 6 batteries. Awesome deal and great batteries,I think they are just as good as putting in a new set of Duracell. I hope this helps. No my son uses it. He works for Loomis and has no issues at all he just loves how powerful it packs a huge beam for such a small size.

Imagine the bottom of the pa as a big screw. You just have to turn it to the right or to the left a little, and will be released. If is still hot, you have to use the thick textil kitchen glowes, to protect yourself.

I hope you get an answer since I was wondering that myself. I left mine in but used it again in the next day or so. It was always ready to fire. I think these other folks are correct because I am sure it would eventually leak out. I like the suggestions for enhancing the seal.

The design is basic. You push down on the nozzel to release the water when the water being released into the battery reaches the nozzle the the container can not release more water. The water being release can not push up into the nozzle when you raise the nozzle up the release valve closes. Hope that is clear enough to understand. I am 65 years old and these have been used since I was a child and back when gas stations gave service they used them to top off batteries for customers.

You loose the air in the hose on this one. Not a deal breaker IMHO but I do have a sunlite that only releases the air in the head the trade off is the fox is more precise when it comes to the pump.

Yes it does. It comes out at the bottom. This is what it should do though so it doesn't back up in the vent pipe and cause a fire. It's designed to little critters out of the vent. I love it.

The relationship between the base and the bulb in height is just a little different, and it would not fit in the torchiere I was trying to relamp. Otherwise it is quite similar. I hope this helps.

I had this problem. I sent it back to BernzMatic. They showed me how the heat was forced back down the feed pipe and had cooked the insulation off the wire. If you use it without causing back pressure it will last a long time. If you take the brass end off the feed pipe you can see the end of the wire. You will see that there is no spark. BernzoMatic replaced it for free even though it was out of warranty. The directions state that the torch needs to be taken off the bottle when not in use. They said this is another common problem that causes the torch to not light even with another ignition source. There are no replacement parts nor safe way to fix it. I had this problem.

I have no experience in the halogen bulb department, but according to my own educated guess. The amount of pressure exert upon the glass as it will going to suck it out might damage the bulb, if you are not minding the damage of the bulb, then yes it can get it out.

the airflow comes through about a half-inch orifice. If you're thinking of doing any kind of circuit board rework, I doubt that the airflow would be localized enough. You would probably re-flow about half the board if you tried it. This gun is for heat-shrinking and general high-temp heating. It is like other "heat guns" except it does not have the pistol grip.

The yellow tube goes into the valve by the bulb. It's been a while since I did the overhaul, but the Mantis works better then ever once you get it done. Hope this helps.

Can't say I make much use of the fume extractor, but I don't use the unit that often anymore. If you're doing extensive soldering work then it may be worthwhile. The suction air comes out of the hot air wand. Remove the tip from that wand to get maximum air flow for suction. I suppose you could connect a hose to the wand that goes outside. You would want to keep the HOT AIR switch off if you do this this, even though hot air heating does stop whenever the wand is in the holder.

Solder suckers that use electric vacuum pumps are designed to prevent the sucked solder from being drawn into the vacuum pump. I would never use either the fume extractor attachment nor the pick up tool as a solder sucker because there is nothing in them to stop molten solder from being drawn into the pump. The cost incurred in creating a specialized attachment would likely exceed the price of heated pump extractors and may not work as well.

No. It's a cartridge you stick in the unit and you plug it in. It's supposed to heat up and let out the vapor..: it is a piece of junk. Don't waste your money on it.

It closes tight enough as far as I am concerned. The steam that comes from the container is enough to cause serious burns. If it were not for the fact that some steam escapes, the container would be too hot. The small valve that you are to push once you pull it from the microwave helps to deter the level of steam that comes out, as a release. In addition, the extra steam that emits from the sides just makes it safer. I hope this makes sense. I hope this helps. Good luck. TC
