gas lense - an useless, unscientific test with pics.

admin

I just had to see for myself.  granted its completely unscientific, and blowing smoke with no regulator (i should have used reg).  and i dont really know what this data means, maybe its just doesnt mean anything because i botched up the "test"  if you're not familiar with gas lense, it uses what appears to be a bigger cup, but the opening at the end of cup is the same size on both sets of pictures.anyway, here are the pics.first two pics are with traditional collet.pic 3 and 4 are with smoke lense.

Reply:If I`m not mistaken you can see that the smoke from the gas lens is diffused more....The smoke in the first pictures looks thicker. So I would guess the gas lens is doing it`s job.

Reply:Shoot - I though we were looking at pictures sneaked out from the opium den!
Reply:Oxy,did you have a tungsten installed in these tests?  I don't see one in the photos.  If the tungsten is not present, gas/smoke will pass through the center hole in the collet body and the gas lens and not function properly.
