Took a course in college on thermodynamics by a middle eastern dude with a THICK accent. Nice guy, but holy fuck was I lost
I have been thinking about a simple 45-degree angled desktop stand, but @Herb-nerd, it sounds like you want a flexible gooseneck attachment for the LSV....
I'm sure I could come up with a 3D printable mount for the LSV, although I'd probably want to keep it as low profile as possible to keep manufacturing costs down (until I can find a good CNC machine shop to work with)
Yeah i like the range of movement, though i was thinking something more like thisTook a course in college on thermodynamics by a middle eastern dude with a THICK accent. Nice guy, but holy fuck was I lost

Basically a desk lamp with the lamp replaced with an LSV clip

Please, any functional stand will do. My LSV gets no love because it needs a stand. Always appreciate the ingenuity of this community. But would have expected 7th floor to create something.
Edit. Love the idea, thinking you can adjust it to any bubbler and it can swivel so you don't even need to hold the lsv. Picture of my vape station. Hopefully The stand can be designed to not take up to much room.

I'm back! Completely regretted selling my LSV which is nothing new in my life and i'm back again with brand new blue LSV! Still searching for a WPA but i've been micro-dosing with the M2M (with a 1/2" screen I think) and once again i'm blown away! I just compensate for the tiny sized load (<.025) with a bump to the temperature and get amazing 1 (and sometimes 2) hit wonders! Flavour is sublime and so is the vapour quality/density! SUPER efficient.... and no need to go and re-buy a Nano! No regrets! But VripTech is still next on the list!

Glad you are back biohacker, prolific posting members are good people to follow as they wander through the vaporizer forest. You get a feel for folks likes and dislikes and how they relate to your own. I hope you take the Vrip trip soon, want to get your take. Good luck and welcome back.
Expense it out.
R and D.
You can't get everything out of us......
Edit: IMO you need a side by side comparison to get a proper assessment of what exactly youre looking to find.

When you are developing vaporizers, it not so easy to expense out every available unit haha.
The R & D done from a trade would be to let me see the effect of larger heat capacity on heat-up time and cool-down during hits. Though this is me operating on my own time. Hence why i don't have funding to go and purchase all teh vapes
The major difference between the two units is the thermal mass of the heater, plus i want to see how it feels in the hand. It looks very nice.

I think a programmable robotic arm with 6 degrees of freedom with an LSV gripper would be the ultimate setup! You could have a load position, then move to the milk shot position, back to the abv dump position all with voice control.

You funding the prototype? I'll handle the mechanical side, anyone wanna work on the voice command software?
This has to be done!I think a programmable robotic arm with 6 degrees of freedom with an LSV gripper would be the ultimate setup! You could have a load position, then move to the milk shot position, back to the abv dump position all with voice control.
Many of my friends (ok that one guy who doesn't tell me to fuck off) just graduated mechatronics engineering and made/tested just such an arm for his honours thesis, i am texting him right now.
Failing that, my university has a whole lab of these. And the individual responsible for inventory and loans just so happened to be my supervisor for my final year thesis on a herbal vaporizer, i took in the LSV and SSV to let him see them haha.
Why did this not occur to me earlier. This could be an amusing viral video, a parody on the future of mechatronics and robotics culminating in one single fully autonomous vapor-bot
EDIT: HAHAHAHA I Cant get the picture of Ardman animations incorporating this into wallace's morning routine (Wallace & Gromit) out of my head.
Dont forget the grinder Gromit!

Might have to hold on to my LSV...

Lmao, not sure if that was intentional.
unintentional but quite apt

interesting, what effect does the carb have?

Saves the hassle of pulling it out of the LSV before clearing
i dont know but the whole clearing thing has not much effect for me when vaping,especially with small bubblers. instead i like taking the lsv off the adapter (m2m or wpa) and pull fresh air through,continuing the hit basically. this cools down the material so it does not vape anymore and "clears" the bubbler slowly. plus i dont have to hold 3 things...

For many pieces, you can get water shooting back up the downstem at the end of your hit, resulting in "blowback" (some bud/ABV shooting out of the WPA when you stop drawing)
A carb/cloud buddy setup eliminates this risk
I'm absolutely in love with my LSV, even after @lazylathe let me babysit his VHW. They both will have a place in my arsenal, and the LSV obviously crushes the VHW in terms of durability, and IMO cost (M2M super cheap is all you need). With regard to clearing, I quickly found out a technique that works for me at least. All I do is not touch a thing, and just inhale quickly to clear! I find the LSV the most sensitive to draw out of all the vapes i've tried...too quick of a draw quickly thins the vapour by decreasing temp. A fast draw works just like clearing!
Shouldn't be too long before I get the OEM WPA... for now i've been really enjoying the lower bowl portion of the VHW setup as it uses a glass screen. I tried using the upper bowl portion (similar to WPA connection) but even on max heat could only get whispy clouds due to the seal allowing too much air. Flavour was wonderful though. Still no luck using the eq elbow screen....I suppose it's just too close to the heat, but the VHW works amazingly with the eq screen.... which is why I love having both vapes! The Vrip can even use a M2M with the upper bowl attachment. So nice being able to switch and swap parts between vapes.
Best bang for the buck vape out there!

Good to hear, and a nice comparison between Vrip. I have been wanting to get my hands one one for a while.
I may be affiliated with one manufacturer, but vape love knows no boundaries
I have been playing around with the WPA and i ground one of the ceramic flavour disks down to about 1/3rd thickness. then lay that on top of my bud and use max temp on the LSV.
Im not sure if i just get high and then think " this, is, great!. This is the bee's knees: Item 9! " or whether or not the ceramic disk is diffusing some of the heat and preventing hot spots by making the hot air snake around all the crevices in the ceramic. before passing through the bud (no notice increase in draw resistance).
It seems to require less stirring, and also vapes the top very evenly - no hot spots!
However, as the WPA works more than well enough, i think i need some extra input to confirm or dispel this.
Im going to tag someone else in to see if they have good results with a ceramic flavour disk on-top of the WPA load.

You are effectively adding a small ceramic heatsink, which is conducting heat into your herbs. 'Convection only' is the main reason I bought the LSV, but whatever works. Vape on....
