If you get it hot it goes *klirr*. I would not risk it.

Definitely fill it with water!

Kean

Glass will crack otherwise

Kean

Oh yes, distilled or deionised water

You absolutely can fire it dry, anyone that says otherwise is being anal

Just don't take the tube above 28ish during operation, if it gets too hot you'll take a bit of life off the tube and the output will drop significantly for a minute but it will recover eventually. Ps got the package, ❤

Also, I totally recommend using a windshield washer pump if you're just trying to get it going quick, infinitely more durable and most are 24v tolerant. Since those Chinese ps usually come with a 24v output for accessories, you can run it off there direct, or throw a buck on her. And no, you're not gonna crack the glass or anything silly like that. Hell I've done quick realignments with no water out of sheer laziness. Just make sure it's quick bursts and you're not actually trying you cut shit. Btw get a ma meter on her, measure from tail to ground return. Also try to stick around half power until you figure out exactly what your tube is doing amperage wise in operation. Hmmmm.... I think that's all off the top of my head....

You are an unwrapping wiz. You must be a blur of activity at Christmas.

It has been a running gag with my uncle to create hard to open packages ... soldered sheet metal has already been done, this year I'm thinking epoxy and carbon fiber mats maybe :)
