Direct thread can and do come loose from time to time. As long as you are mindful of that, you shouldn’t have issues.
If you have the tiniest idea of swapping hosts, I would chose a QD model, simply to avoid having bare muzzles. That’s just my laziness.
This is going to piss folks off, but I’m just as guilty of it as anyone else. Buying a can is a huge investment of time and money. Because of this, many of us get attached to these items into which we have invested so much capital. We will defend these items and promote their virtues (real or imagined) after we have convinced ourselves (or in an effort to) that our purchase wasn’t a dud. What I’m saying is that people will believe hype and buy a can, only to find out it sucks. It might be too loud, too heavy, too gassy, or have a garbage mounting system. Admitting so would be anathema so we tell everyone how awesome the can is to avoid admitting that it sucks.
I said all that to point out that you should get some exposure to different cans if possible, before buying. I have several cans that I hate. Luckily I have some that are great. There was a time when I extolled the (desired, but lacking) virtues of these cans I now admit that I hate. Take advice on the internet with a grain of salt.
Any specific can you would recommend for this application?
