Yeah i should have a couple of the new model finished maybe tomorrow or the next day. It's been a slow process, but finally seeing the light. Thanks for your interest!
Just wanted to update you all on a design change, and a new model I've been testing.
For the design change, I've started making the screens out of wood. And on the inside is a stainless mesh liner. It stays cool during lighting, so no more worrying about burning yourself, and the liner keeps...
Since my last post, I've been able to figure out how to move the latch to the side that also includes the side you insert the Dynavap in. This gives you more room for your hands to squeeze the torch upward.
Also in the works, I'm working on making the wooden latch use magnets instead of a...
I wanted to update you with a design change. I had gotten enough feedback, about a nail being the latch, that i finally decided to resolve that! It takes more time and resources, but I'm really glad i listened to you all.
Here it is in Morado:
And here it is in Sapele:
Hey, FC
I pulled down the video for now because I think it might not be the most healthy way to use this device. The wood does char some on the inside walls, and i don't think people looking for a healthier option to combustion would want that in their airpath. I still feel it's okay to heat...
As promised, here's a video i quickly put together.
You may be correct there, but at the current size it won't fit the Solo stem. Though i don't see why i wouldn't eventually include a glass or wood stem with it. And I'm not really confined to any particular size, really.
I'm really excited...
So I discovered something this weekend that seems too good to be true. I was out testing the new case when i realized i left the cap at home for my Omnivong. Still determined, I decided to try it anyway with the cap off. I thought, "I should suck on it while it's lit to feel the heat, to...
Thank you so much!
Thanks!
I think i have an improved latch. It's still a nail, but a nicer looking nail. It has a nice mirror finish that isn't showing up well in this photo. What do think of this? Or should i continue to try and find something better?
I would say that, immediately after...
Here's something I've been working on based off of @Kheleck41girl 's suggestion:
This one's just a prototype that i will test in the real world before offering these up.
Is this something you would be interested in?
There's no place for added storage unless i made it wider.
I was also...
Thank you! And thanks for reminding me of that idea. I was focused on getting it as small as I could, and kind of put that thought away. You've definitely re-sparked my light bulb.

Got a hold of some really nice Sapele wood and have made another batch. The dark wood and brass colored shroud made me think of some kind of caramel chocolate bar :lol:. They're up on Etsy now! I've also trimmed up the metal shroud a bit, and improved my sanding technique. I've had to add some...
You press up on the bottom of the torch insert while gripping the sides, or top, of the box as leverage.
In the video I am using my thumb and index finger to hold onto the sides, while my remaining fingers--leading with the middle finger--press on the bottom of the Zippo insert...
Hah. I've never actually cleaned my cap more than wiping soot off it with a rag. Never thought I needed too. Luckily I have the 2020 M to stand in its place!
Here's a quick guide video to get a better look:
