I'm yet to receive my email from Allan but got on the list April 16th, this thread however has made waiting an absolute pleasure. Time goes quickly when you are in the presence of a JedHI master

Alan had mentioned he was going to be improving production because he was moving to a new workshop so hopefully it won't take that long... but still, I know it's worth the wait.
Might have to grab a twig or something to keep me until my turn rolls around. Wouldn't be difficult to sell on classifieds after I am sure.
We really need to find a cure for VAS. This is a terrible, terrible affliction...

are any of you guys using a typical wall plug that isn't variable? I'm thinking of getting a static adapter instead of this variable one, if i can find the right one.

can i stick my male joint in there?
i use the plain one at home and the vv at work.

boobs...what plain one? did it come with a different vape or did you get it from Alan?
and do you think i would like it? you know how i like to vape...brainless with the nipple stem on a bubbler.

prolly the vv is best since you can just dial in the temp. the the plain one i got from alan you need to self adjust it with the amount of fresh air you let in, not that hard once your use to it.

have you used the 12v that came with the other logs (PD)? I just plugged that into it and it got hot quickly, but I don't want to overload it.
Alan...do I have anything to worry about using the old PD warts? Also, if I decide to order some like it, what voltage do you recommend? (My VV just died, so I am trying to patch things up here and don't mind moving away from the VV.)

nope the HI is my only log vape. if you have the voltage tester, test out the adapter. anything around the 12v area should be ok, but i wouldn't go much higher then the 12v

thanks boobs...what's the voltage on your plain one?
I'm curious how this works out for you. While on the list waiting (patiently)for my turn with Alan I was thinking of going to a VV with my UD. I tried a simple power source at one point point with the ability to change the voltage through fuses but it only got my UD warm. I'm assuming it was just that unit as I see so many people going with variable voltage supplies. I still haven't decided if it would benefit me since the only other log vape I have right now seems to run a bit warm - which by all means is actually what I like. If I need the temperature altered I've been adjusting the length of the tubing on my water adapter.

my standard non vv runs at 12.4v

OK. I'm sure there might be some upset people. Please take the time to read and consider, the circumstances. First of all. I was in the right place, at the right time. It happens. I got lucky.
I had contacted Alan about the list. I know he's got a lot of time consuming projects going and I'm trying to plan my finances, which is tough to do, when you don't have an income. Alan had some wood, that he thought was too green and not hard enough to hold up. Because of quality standards, it therefore wasn't available for sale. It was part of Alan's (large) personal collection and he wanted someone to perform durability testing to see if he should make more units from that wood.
It is a wood called Sumac. This wood, while considered a "hard wood", just barely qualifies (if you look on a wood scale, its barely over the minimum req). With a crack and a dent above the power plug, this was at the least, a blem. Alan has been working on some other things, he needed tested. So he asked if I would beta test what he would send me. I offered to pay whatever he thought was fair. We came to an agreement.
BTW, I've been vaked out of my freakin' mind for 4 straight days now.
It also, didn't come with a vv... so I've had a more than a few flame ups (usually when I'm switching between glass). The beta product, will work much better with the vv also. I'm excited to try it... once I have the ability to turn down this little juggernaut.
I hope there aren't any hard feelings. I know on first glance, it appears to be a jump in line. However, I still intend to wait for my place to buy a non-blem and true hardwood HI. If it were my place in line... I wouldn't ask for wood that might be too green, too soft, is cracked and dented. As Alan said... I'm doing an endurance test on the Sumac also.
A video I did for mom (explains the music, though I think it adds to the video), as I've asked her advice how to broach the subject and she wanted to see it in action. The humor in this, is everything I'm doing BEFORE I take a pull. I was so medicated by this point, I wasn't really sure... but I loved the take, so I kept it.

Mine runs about the same as bOObs (non vv).

You've got like 10 vapes. 
stickstones - Sorry to hear about the VVPS. I have never tried a PD wall wart with the HI. I remember some discussion that it runs close to 14 volts with no load applied. The voltage is a bit lower with a load applied, but still may be too much for the HI. You should always test the voltage of any new power supply. Most common wall wart power supplies with an output of 12 to 12.5 volts with at least 1 amp of current capacity should work.
mvapes - You can always drop the temperature a bit by allowing some room air to leak into the roasting bowl. That is how I control temperature. Sorry to make you weep. There is always room for one more vaporizer.
BigDaddyVapor - Tattoo guns use around 3 watts of power (log vape use around 7) which may explain why some power supplies work with them but not with log vapes.
Thanks for posting the video. Looks like you are getting the hang of the HI. I hope the sumac wood will work out so that I can make some more units from it.
CentiZen - Sorry about the VAS. Videos of the HI will do that.
Tom - Thanks for your patience.
u bwade wunner - Thanks for posting the two power supplies. They should be safer than the units that go higher than 15 volts. Just have to be careful not to crank them up too high.
OhTheAgony - That is a fine looking power supply. I like the small adjustment knobs so accidental voltage changes are not possible.
I am going to be really concentrating on the move at his time which means that I will probably not be making any more HI's until after I move. I know that is not what you all wanted to hear, but I had to have some down time sooner or later. I will continue to add names to the list when I receive email inquiries. I'm really hoping to get caught up on the backlog after the move. Thanks for everyone's continued patience.

Mine is a Jameco:
INPUT: 120VAC 60Hz 16.5W
OUTPUT: 12VAC 1000mA
I have no idea what any of this means. It feels a slight bit warmer than what I used with the VV, but the VV could certainly get hotter than this. I just hit it and it tasted and felt normal. I suppose I won't keep it plugged in 24/7, but it looks alright at first glance. How do the specs look to you, Alan? And if it were too much, what would be the risk...just failure or something serious like fire?

The unit is rated for 12volts AC when plugged into 120 volts AC. The actual voltage may be more than 12 volts though. There is no way of knowing for sure unless you measure it.
The only risk is that the life of the heating element may be shortened. There is no risk of fire. If the heating element fails, the circuit is broken and no more power flows to it.

Strange they rated your PS at 1000mA.
In other words... 1 amp.

hey sticks If you have a PA for your'e LB the power supply which is 12V will work for your e Hi.also the car adapter forthe PA works too for travel
.I Bought static supplies for around the house.just type 5.5/2.1 12v power supply into ebay.look for the word "regulated" in the description if you can.thats a better option.Mine are not but work 24/7 and they cost me $5 a piece.cheap but work fine.I would look at oh the agonys or alans supply if your'e looking at a serious longterm VV option.there childs play once you have had a chance to play with them are also safe.
BDV look at that.So happy for you Man.What do you think of the Hi.when do we get a review and how quick did the Hi milk that Saxo.3 seconds flat!.Is the saxo a suitable piece or are you prefering the BDV special for the Hi?I m sure Mom loved the katy perry or whoever it was!

I've been so HI I don't know what the fuck y'all were talking about over the last day or so. 
Good luck on the move, Alan. All the best to you and your family.
Congrats, BDV!
