    @sixstringsmash The dowels I bought were about $3 each, I think 48" in length. I already had the saw and firewood. So this cost me $6 overall, and I ended with about 30 charcoals. @Dan Morrison Good to know I need to heat them slower. From your early tutorial, I assumed the only reason not to...

    I experimented today with making my own charcoals. It was kind of a pain in the ass. I have even more respect for Dan now, knowing all the trial and error involved with making these things and I'm impressed with the quality of charcoal he is able to produce. I purchased 2 "Hardwood" dowels (the...

    Thanks, @VAPEHUNTER Dan, would it be possible to get an updated tutorial? IIRC, the charcoals are made from Maple dowels now instead of bamboo. What diameter dowel do you use and what length are the pieces cut?

    I love this vaporizer, so much so that I am about to use the last charcoal Dan supplied me. I've been trying to find the video (or maybe it was an imgur album) containing the tutorial on how to make more charcoals. Could anybody here provide a link?

    Dan, which paint colors do you have displayed here? I originally chose the raw box, but that green is making me think otherwise. Or the yellow even! Geez, I don't think I can decide which I like best!

    Health issues with this device are definitely not a concern of mine. It seems a lot of the backlash from your latest reddit post came from people having a misunderstanding of how this device actually works. It's great to see that you're taking these concerns seriously and doing the necessary...

    Herb falling through the cracks of the lid was a concern of mine as well. I recently started keeping ground herb in little pill capsules, as they hold the perfect amount for one bowl. I keep some capsules with different herbs, such as peppermint and damiana, all together in a little jar so I can...

    I haven't used a steel ball, but I keep a couple coins in my grinder, which I shake up to more finely grind up the bud for use in my MFLB. This works well for me, and also fills up my kief tray faster. In regards to the locally sourced bamboo.. Maybe I misremembered you saying that. Ah well, I...

    Hi Dan, I remember you stating much earlier in the thread that you would like for the bamboo used for the charcoal to be locally sourced. I would also feel much better about this than bamboo sourced from China. Is that no longer a viable option with all the attention this has received and the...

    Hi Dan, I've been following this thread for a few weeks now and I'm so excited to get my hands on one of these! I love the ritual involved in loading it and lighting the charcoal. It's so classy :) I want to get on your mailing list, but I can't figure out how to send a PM on here.. I just...
