Never dip the Vapman's wood parts in ISO alcohol as it can permanently damage the wood.

Never dip the classic's bottom section in any solvent — the basic is fine.
Cool. Thanks for the correction Steama.

I love experimenting with this little guy.I was chilling last night in front of haven caressing the contours of the vapman content as I drifted off to sleep,as you do half way through a show with the vapman:D


It's been Two weeks or so using that I/2 stainless screen I made for herb in my vapman.

What I can say:
Flavour and vapor is improved and heat seems perfectly balanced,it all feels...and I don't want to big up,but it's a bit magical.
I'm experiencing no char until the last moment unlike before.it was in the background after the first few hits.

My method of heat is 4,1,4 seconds & hit then 4.pack is reasonably tight.

I was thinking, never a good thing;)...Without the screen the herb is directly in contact with the crucible.good vapor no doubt but as I say I did notice charring taste on the herb quite early on.I got used to that having used the mflb before the vapman.My way to deal with the degrading taste was to disassemble,remove the mouthpiece bit stir my material with the peg on the mouthpiece to move darker roasted herb sitting against the crucible and mix it into the greener less heated herb., I feel that the vapor from those darker herb grains were contributing to my tickly cough.

So With the screen installed the herb sits suspended above the crucible in a springy stainless hammock the air pocket between the two is allowing more convection and is grilling the herb.more so than frying the herb.

I'm really liking it.no stirring necessary,much more even heat and the inner surface of the crucible is staying clean.i had some black spots developing on the inner surface of the crucible before which was a concern.herb sticking and combusting I think.funny though I can't seem to shift it with ISO.its a delicate area so I didn't want to exert too much force.

The vapman holds a little less with the screen..I'm getting straight to visible vapor from the first hit.I get 3- 5 big clouds on a fill and then I notice the char taste.when I remove the mouthpiece to examine I'm finding perfectly even brown avb .my vapman is more intuitive now hmmm.i get the best flavour till the last hit which let's me know to refill

The screen stays put when I empty too.it catches on the notch in the crucible column and stays there.

I will write a note to vapman today and see what he thinks.will let You all know..

A worthy experiment I think especially for a lazy Sunday.drive a nail or skewer through a 1/2 screen ,dome the screen enough so it's just off the crucible,fill on top of the screen and enjoy.

I won't go on waffle,waffle, :)but I just felt I had to mention it to people who like to tinker and mod.im having a blast.

I will say this about the vapman to finish.

I leave my vapman for a few days and use other units. when I return to it it knocks me for 6.its the smallest of my vapes but it medicates me so fully I can't leave it for long...great late night vape,gets you sleepy,horizontal and also medicates you're muscles and limbs perfectly I find.a great vape if You need to belt yourself quickly and hard if the stress monster appears.shopping trips for me are :disgust::lol:

Have a peaceful Sunday folks.

Btw I'm intrigued by the charring going on in this thread and I think vapman is too.

Char-char
:peace:

Stay tuned for a little vapman porn:)....

Edit:an older one plugged with a walnut stem from MFLB

the MFLB stem was washed in clothing & subsequently trapped inside my washing machine for 6 months or so.you can see the divits in the stem between the grains.but it survived all that time jammed inside the washer filter.gotta love wood.

:nod: .... I've heard that the Vapman is also looking into the feasibility of crafting a high-end ebony model :brow: How exquisite would that be!?! :luv:

Wow,great news!

Jet black ebony is pretty expensive but would be my choice.African Blackwood would be the cheaper option and easier to source me thinks.either way nice to see new models.

Cocobolo,bog oak all would be very interesting.i will check pricing.

Smoke me a Kipper!:):tup:

so....there really isent any other way to ask this question without giving the details so dont judge me.

I was getting ready for work the other day and usually I sesh right before I go in, well nature called so while i was in the bathroom I went ahead and used my vapman while I was sitting there and when I took it apart to check the color of the product, the top piece, with the mouthpiece, fell into the...dirty...water. I rinsed it with super hot water and dried it quickly and threw the mouthpiece in ISO. My question is, with wood being the way it is, should I worry about bacteria being trapped in there and me inhaling it and getting sick? Is there any way to fully sanitize wood or am i just worrying too much? I figure if worst comes to worst i can contact vapman and just get the upper piece.

I found this for wooden cutting boards.

"
  1. Naturally sanitizing your wooden boards is easy ~ Once in a while, the wooden boards may need to be cleaned more deeply. With just a few ingredients found around the house, you can naturally sanitize without any harmful chemicals. A 1996 study showed that hydrogen peroxide, when combined with an equal amount of vinegar, is a potent bacteria killer. Salmonella, shigella and e-coli were all eliminated with this combination. This is my favorite recipe for sanitizing wooden cutting boards naturally:


All Natural Cutting Board Sanitizer
1/2 cup apple cider or white vinegar per cup of water in a spray bottle (like this) (or like this)

3 % hydrogen peroxide in a separate spray bottle (like this)

  1. Simply spray cutting board with vinegar mixture and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Follow with a liberal spray of hydrogen peroxide and allow to sit for another 10 minutes.
  3. Gently rise and allow to completely dry.
  4. After completely dry, follow with a light oiling with coconut oil to protect the surface."

your a life saver! Thanks a bunch brother. Im not sure why that thought didnt cross my mind because you basically eat off a cutting board.

I thought for sure it was trash, but its a good thing ive got 3 of these little babies to keep me going either way!

oh for sure steama! I would never ISO my wood, I only did a hot water rinse and a full dry so far. I only ISO the plastic mouthpiece.

I guess Vapman went for a concentrate screen and by accident the vaporizer became more convection-y or did they plan it ahead… :brow: Very interesting things going on in the vapman camp!

Hey U,

I want to try this.

Can you post a pic of your screen both in the Bowl and by itself?

I was planning on ordering one from Vapman later on, but I was only thinking about oils and wax.

I hadn't thought about using it with her but after reading your post, it sounds like a great idea.

Thanks!

Ok, I had a screen laying around and went for it.

I poked it with a bamboo skewer and shaped it like a bowl with my fingers.

It was larger than the Bowl so I had to cut it to make it fit.

I will test it later and report back here. I will sacrifice myself for science's sake!
