Didn't you try to solder a heatpipe and it ended up exploding and cutting your tummy?

yep, that was me

i was trying to improve the conductivity of the base to the heatpipe coz i felt that the solder there wasnt enough......guess i cooked until the heatpipe cant handle the internal pressure built-up

Sorry to misinform anyone by thinking that alochol is acidic or alkalic but alcohol remains a solvent which one has to remember. Which is why I said it will erode tygons over time. Heck if we normal water which has oxidised also can cause erosion in tygons what more alcohol

Errr....so how long do I have to wait before drinking my vodka?

Solvent, that was the word I was looking for. Yeah it should erode the tubings, but maybe tygon has added something to their tubings to withstand it. Sniper should get us our answer in a few days.

sniper on the roof: Oi wait fo a few days 1st. Pour another glass to drink first la.....dun lah drink the one you are experimenting with. lol

No it isn't. Tygon's do and will deteriorate and you don't want to see it doing so. It's pretty ugly.

And a waste of good vodka if you asked me

Why so fast jump the gun? Try 1st, then we can know what effects for sure. Simple experiment, dun worry when I go back to Malaysia I belanja Sniper the alcohol he wasted today. lol

even if the tygon does not take any affection from the alcohol, how bout the rubbers in the pump? Mr. Sniper, pls keep updating us with your observation.

That will probably kill the pump...eehheheh. But we are looking at the tygon now....unless you want to do the pump experiment.

Dude.. if you ain't gonna drink the vodka with the tube submerged in it I'll gladly take it.

By the way, if the tubings really don't go too bad wanna try adding some into your WC coolant? Now that's gonna waste some vodka...

haha... if add in a ratio 1:10 hmmm lets see...
assume the whole loop take up 1lit++ of water.
100ml of vodca shall be added.
1lit of vodca = RM75
100ml = Rm7.5

not so exp also ... how if i wan the liquid to be blue color? does adding golden bleu giving same effect as vodca?

My god, depserate-nya! Bloody alcoholic! lol

Anyway Sniper how is the tubing? Any change? Color? Still ok? Hardened? Update please....

So far... changes --> Zero

I think it'll take a lot more time to screw tygons

I din know Vodka is that expensive....btw...if the vodka does not do any harm to the pump and other components for WC system...who will start using this alcahol for cooling...btw i think we can use other alcaholic liquid instead of vodka?

Rubber is used in your pump. We don't know what it will do to the pump! So don't jump in yet dude.....lol.

sniper: the tygon is still in the vodka right?

Yup..still in vodka... in a airtight glass jar. There it shall remain until it corrodes or a ecosystem of drunk microscopic creatures evolves from it or this thread dissappears.

u try lor... update us the outcomes

what do u mean dissappears?

until this THREAD disappears. Lost in the other threads........understand? He was not saying that the tygon will disappear. lol

No updates ? i wonder what would happen later to that tygon.
