VEVOR 🆚 DEVIL FORGE : WHICH IS BETTER⁉️

Hello everyone, @SJWCasting here!👋🏻
#metals #copper #devilforge #metalcasting #melting #casting #bigingots #scrapping #brass #aluminum #nordicgold #vevor #scrap
This week I put the two furnaces I have to the test!! Vevor vs. Devil Forge.
The results surprised me a little bit.
I known that the Devil Forge would be faster, but I didn’t thought the Vevor furnace would be so close to the Devil Forge.
Devil Forge: under 18min
Vevor Furnace: just over 18 min
The Vevor Furnace was cheaper to run, it didn’t need so much gas as the Devil Forge.

WHY I STARTED SELLING MERCH?
Easy⬇️
By selling merch, I can earn a little bit money (not that much..) and put more in the channel.
Also, I can save more of my own money so we can move to a bigger place.
With a bigger workplace because it’s getting claustrophobic in the garage,
with other projects I’m starting soon, I’ll need more space, much more space!!!
Everything you see is created by yours truly 😁. I spend much time on this. Ordered a bunch of stuff to test and adjust. Now it’s all ready!! I will release more merch in the summer, limited edition!! And more after, but I need some inspiration first😉.

Add borax detergent and it will fix it👌 borax may ruin the graphite crucible after extended use, try sprinkle some borax on the molten copper after it’s in the mold. Preheat the molds also

[@scottbenson8105]

I don’t know what kind of company vevor is but I just bought a new Devil Forge and I wasn’t happy about how the lid lines up with the bottom and they are sending me a new one free of charge and I get to keep the one I have as a backup, now that’s a company!!.

[@mattyal9347]

I paused as soon as you asked we viewers whick forge is better. Three factors come to mind. The placement of the fuel tube in which they both seem to create a vortex, the quality of the kaowool which we have no way of knowing and the thickness of the kaowool. So my moneys on the devil forge

[@lodebleux7241]

looked like the mold you emptied and refilled did not have that problem. That mold was warmer and the last copper you poored was a bit less hot. So could be something with to do with to hot copper to start with or to much cooled down molds.

[@freeman6147]

ridiculous amount of adverts!

[@mattyal9347]

Might be asbestos from the wire coating causing the bubbling over. I don't think your forges will get hot enough to disintegrate it if thats what it is. I think it takes 2000 to 2500 degrees farenheit... and lots of ventilation!

[@stevensmith6231]

The Vevor furnace is smaller, so that would affect the results...

[@justanothermeltingchannel]

Interesting video. I wonder how the vevor furnace would compare if you were able to regulate the propane pressure better so it would be on equal terms as the Devil-Forge.

[@royalgaming7216]

What's funny is I actually commented on skullers original video where he was having this problem and I'll tell you the same thing I told him looks like you need a degassing agent which for copper is phosphorus and you can buy something called phosphor copper which has phosphorus added to it which will react with the probably hydrogen that is absorbed into the metal but the downside is the one good place to get high quality phosphor copper is Belmont metals (that i know of) and you have to buy at least a certain amount so it's a little pricey or you can go to the poor man's method and you can buy some phosphor copper brazing rods now they're not pure copper they have a bit of silver and some other stuff in them and I actually bought them because they reduce porosity in the metal which is great for sand casting which is what I do but I think that's what you need

The 😈 forge

[@markbrinton6815]

when I was taking casting classes, we would put the ingot molds on top of the furnace to heat them. Als, the molds were made of Angle with end plates. Really easy to remove.

[@lewisgiles8855]

Dude your stack is looking PHAT!!!

[@curtwarkentin2887]

Im kinda guessing the Devil Forge and Vevor are equal for performance. But the difference is in the accessories. DF i believe has more and better options available as a kit. But you also pay a premium for those extras. With DF you are paying for the experience of the builder to give you a more refined so to speak kit so the crucible and things will last longer. Vevor seems like a box store kinda thing where they want cheap and big numbers. Product doesn't have the expertise behind its kit like the round tongs for picking up the crucible from the furnace as compared to pincers to pull it up out of the vevor.

[@pointeisabel]

Those bubbles are usually formed due to impurities in your metals, melting soldered copper pipes or any kind of waste metal will cause these porosities

[@terrydowning6365]

Are you pre-heating your molds? I've seen other KZbinrs do that, it might help. 😀✌❤

[@Mystic-Mountain-Morphs]

I have only done probably 100 copper bars my self and just recently started doing videos on my snake channel here but i have never seen this issue. I use a cutting torch to heat my molds and so far only have used vevors electric furnace / Smelter. So maybe your copper is to hot? Idk it could be a lot of different reasons. I am fairly new buti have never used flux i think useing the cutting torch to heat molds has really made my bars smoother. Who knows like i said i am still very new to this i know the electric vevors only get to 1150c so temp may be an issue who knows awesome video buddy keep it up

[@1docg]

When melting copper, borax can be used as flux. Borax can help with the following:

[@karryterran9409]

Hmmmmmm. Interesting perhaps let them cool more, a vibrating pad may help the gases escape. preventing the pockets. Just a thought.👍 kinda looked like cheese.😏

[@NiallOGrady]

I had the porosity issue with copper, happens when copper cools too quickly releasing dissolved gas as it stopped happening when I started getting the mold to red hot before pouring

[@Truck_Company_84]

So as a beginner, which do y’all recommend? I myself am leaning towards Devil Forge, but the Vevor seems to be a good price as well.
