    Finally, someone who knows how to tighten screws into plastic properly. You turn it backwards until you feel a click, then you tighten it. Otherwise, you will start making a new thread and possibly break the plastic. This guy actually does is correctly.

      I never knew this - but I have disassembled and reassembled lots of things with screws into plastic and never broken stuff. I think his method is very smart and eliminates the risk of breakage, but even if you don’t do what he does, the risk of making a new thread and breakage is still low as long as you use a light touch.

    It's funny how everyone thinks this was in a smokers home due to it being yellow... the reason the older systems turn yellow over time is from a product called bromine that they had put in to make the system more heat resistant. But overtime it has a reaction that actually brittles the plastic and causes the yellowing if exposed to UV radiation (sunlight).

      It's not permanent though. Parts will yellow again in a year or so. Nothing can be done about it unfortunately.
      In theory plastic will yellow back slower if instead of UV light exposure, sous-vide stick 50C bath method is used. It gives overall better results.
