you know what would make the Vaponic a perfect unit is to have some sort of heater coil (portable preferably) where the temp is somewhat controlled similar to the pics below taken from the Bud Toaster thread.
OR you can order this set of cheap Dental Picks from Amazon

Knowing that this grinder is meant for crushing "rocks", If you look closely you will see a flat disk that seems to press down on the "rock/material" when the little handle is turned. I would imagine it presses the material through some sort of a sieve then down the funnel to the little vials...
I just wanted to share with you my home made wooden charging base. It took me some time to make it. I'm not sure whether to paint it or just give it coat of varnish.
there is no need to be an expert all you need is to use this piece to make the connector fit the solo

It does work. I've tried it (the original PS2) had to change the connector though to make it fit the solo but it did work. having said that, I would avoid using the knock off one It would be risky to use IMO.
