Vapman

I'm not sure how I did it, although they all copped two weekends of abuse off a lot of people and two of them the button played up one I smashed which would have smashed any lighters. Something to do with that ring on the trigger. Dunno if it was just my stupidity, although I'd prefer the trigger to be a bit tougher and just the single flame lock on the side.

Thanks for the additional information, it's starting to make sense. Excusing the smashing bit which I think we all understand is not a good thing to do, it sounds to me like some novice (who might have been stoned) didn't understand that ring is a lock on the button? Pushing hard enough against that lock for sure will break something.

Does that make sense to you? We're down to two 'in service' failures as I see it?

Thanks again for the additional info. More food for thought.

@HD Springer, I can install a new bowl, air tubes, brackets and screws on your vapman cheap. It'll be like new again.

Bravo! I remember your offering such before in this thread, but didn't want to put you on the spot. You've even got a copy of the magic tools, right?

Thanks for stepping forward. Take ten bucks out of petty cash, buy the wife something nice on the way home......

@Mojo I sent you a reply in the pm. And again thank you for the SWEET offer. FC is the shit. Or more like the FC community is the shit!!!!!!

Cool.

I posted it here again because I don't know if people know that either René or I can fully replace damages bowls and air tubes at a very reasonable price. (Most of the price is really shipping and parts).

A broken air tube is Not the death of a vapman.

EDIT:

I just thought about something...

If you have one of my newer Two-tone vapmans, I bore the inside hole bigger. -- So this means that, if you have any crucible/air tube mishaps, (and if you're handy), I can send you a new bowl with the air tubes attached and you can unscrew the old one and screw in the new one.

Most people would rather send it in anyway, but if you're brave, you could do it.

Yes I think you're right OF, and stoned was the least of my worries every time one broke. I think it would be better to just have the flame lock switch on the size and no ring on the trigger.

So, I've lurked for a long while here on FC, and felt now was the time to finally make an account, specifically because I ordered one of these bad boys today and don't seem to have gotten a confirmation email, is this a normal occurrence or did I perhaps do something incorrect? Also, can anybody tell me on average what the shipping time is to the states?

Welcome @terminally_chill,

Watch the how to videos here:

http://infinityVM.com/videos

The first few videos after the the Station video will give you all the info you need. From how to load, clean, and care for your vapman.

It's not delicate, but you just have to treat it well. Like a good, expensive race bicycle...

Hope this helps.

I heard that. Nasty useless gimmick.....like that silly cap. I tried taking it off, don't waste your time there. I've even given some thought to defeating it (glue, tape, heatshrink or a pin...). The cap, chain, the plastic ring the chain attached to, and the stupid lanyard lug on top are all history here. This is a 'working man's tool'. You hate to defeat a safety, but it's not useful if it keeps it from going when you want, or worse yet if it gets it killed off young. I suggest another few dollars invested and dumping the friends........

First off, howdy, welcome to the fun. Great choice with VM, you won't regret it.

It's basically one guy most of the time I think. When he's sending emails he's not making vapes or Power Stations. Times, notice are not unreasonable IIRC. Mine (I've had a couple) came in pretty short order (under two weeks). He's a good egg, you can contact him and ask and he'll give a prompt, honest answer you can count on. Remember he's time shifted, so you get day gaps sometimes. I think you're fine, but interrupting him briefly is better than stressing over it.

You got a torch on hand to run it? Buy one with your VM?

Yoga I'm hearing you! Not sure why it's there as that simple on off switch works well! Anyways at least for me personally there are the normal VM torch style ones I prefer that button. Might go buy that big one and try it over summer! If the flame works reliably it would make a cool coffee table/away torch.

Thank you for the response as well as the info to put my mind at ease. As long as it gets here before the 25, I think I'll be a happy camper. In fact even if it doesn't, I probably will still be, considering the good things I've been reading about this work of art, just wish I had known about it earlier! I actually hadn't considered the time gap, I guess I just falsely assumed it was an automated process, as well as forgetting Switzerland is halfway across the world from me. The website said the order was received, so I'm not stressing too bad, just curious. I hadn't realized it was just him, although I probably should have, been lurking this entire thread haha, so I think I'll just let him work and avoid interrupting him, I can be a patient grasshopper. I ordered the bundle that comes with the lighter yes, especially because everyone here seems to think its quite durable, and I am rather unfamiliar with torches

This thing even with a drop of e juice in the bowl on it's own is phenomenal!! Bowl of green, drop of juice and a j hook! Blowing clouds like a wizard and the bowl can be effectively vaped, although the abv is very mess.

Just found a Vapman very reasonable and emailed him about a heating station after reading about it here. Looking forward to my first butane vape, but I know the heating station will be a big help if I can't master it alone.

I got my station yesterday and broke it in last night. It's definitely different than the other desktop vapes I've experienced. The heat output always being the same changes how you interact with it, versus, say a Vapexhale Evo. There is more fudge factor involved. You can completely ignore what the little timer light is telling you to do, and just time it yourself. There is going to be a learning period with the station, for sure.

On the very first night, I left a vapman sitting on the station and forgot about it. The station clicked off after 5 minutes and the change in light caught my attention. I looked over, freaked out a little, and then checked out the crucible. The herb was browned but not dark brown. Only a medium brown. I gave it a puff, to see if there was any vapor left, but to no avail. So, the vapman was correct in his determination to have the station shut off after five minutes. Too much room for human mistakes.

On the first release of the station someone in this thread mentioned that after using the station they realize their torch technique is lacking. I completely agree with that. I use way too much torch and need to slow it down.

I'm liking it so far, but will have to report back later for a full comparison to my Vapexhale Cloud Evo.

edit: Oh yeah, the build quality on this thing is great. Very little plastic, nice and solid, doesn't get hot at all. I would like the styling more if it were a solid piece of wood like the e-nano, but this is probably easier to repair and has a unique look.

I've been looking all over and can't find anyone that sells the Vapman Station 1. Is there someway to get a combo deal? I am definitely buying the Vapman, and if it makes financial sense maybe I'll get the Station with it.

You have to email the vapman directly at the moment.

I tried it once too and didn't like the cleanup afterwards.

Maybe you can put herb in the bowl and a screen on top. Then add the eJuice drop on the screen... No mess.

You can also use straight vegetable glycerin instead of eJuice.

Yea it is slightly messy, but not enough to bother me it is certainly out weighted by the clouds. My theory is this.
I don't mind the idea of slowly heating away and sipping away in the vapman for great effect as many do, but I do not enjoy the smaller cloud production. I love cracking the torch up and getting 4ish nice rips from a bowl, however then my stash disappears! This seems like a nice middle ground. Will try just VG at some stage as I think the flavouring is what makes the first two hits bite and be pretty vaporless? Also pretty keen to try an mj flavoured juice!

I find VG smoother than PG mixtures as well!

this is what I need! Been blowing the first hit back through the bowl due to bite. You given e juice and MJ much of a go? Loving it.

I'm lovingggg it! Bigger clouds and longer sessions with less MJ use. I'd love to try it in the HA but dunno about electrics, worked in the hammer but the clouds were smaller which is the reverse of my experience with plain MJ. Really makes me appreciate the vapman even more! Normally like to load a bowl and kill it in under six hits as I crave the cloudage and the slower cooler sessions Havnt tickled that! The Beaty in the vapman is the instant heat with manual control, I can give it 4 seconds and blow a huge cloud of vapor! I can do this a few times and the herb stays just a green, then I can heat it for longer brown that MJ off a bit get some goodness into me and then back to vaping the juice.

I have gotten into that micro dosing thread, and I have gotten Into the vapman for it's tiny bowl, since getting it I have probably used it 95% of my vaping time. My consumption has gone down, but just like the transition from smoking to vaping I have fallen more in love with the ritual and wind up using it more so the usage savings is not what it could be. That micro dosing thread has gotten me think that my old mentality of "I know I'm high enough but one more couldn't hurt" might be wrong and from a tolerance point of view less is more and continual hits is a physical habit/hobby and not a need for MJ. Thought this for a while and tried a few fixes. I tried this previously with just using a small ego pen between hits, but I found I found up just ignoring it and packing another bowl out of compulsion.

This seems to me to be doing a good job of solving this problem, I can vapman away with bigger clouds, and use less weed. I tried other herbs but there is stuff all clouds as most have also experience. Not a bad little find for me personally! Going to try a high VG juice or pure VG.

It's so nice to read about those who are discovering " micro dosing " . My friend and I have discussed for decades how using our one hitters is effective and efficient. We were both heavy users at one time but converted due to lack of availability and cost. there are times when I still indulge in a heavy session but not as often. The Grasshopper has had my attention for two years now as it seems to be an electric convection one hitter ( or maybe 3-4 ) but you get the point. However, there is still the desire to physically vape. I've never been a cig. smoker but I had alway liked the idea of being a pipe smoker. The Vapman is the perfect solution. It uses a very small amount of herb, its very efficient , and with my preferred method of low and slow it allows my to enjoy and prolong the experience while saving money and material.

Can confirm straight VG works better in the VapMan than a vg pg e juice mix. Fixes the problems I had, initial bite, dry mouth and consistancy. Anyone who's willing to brave their clean vapman, I can't recommend chucking a drop on a loaded bowl enough, freeeee clouds! To the point where I don't think I'll be using the vapman without it where available.

Doesn't VG evaporate first and then you start getting herb vapor?

That's what the idea what in the e juice and herb thread although I have found the vg does evaporate bellow weed vaping temps, and to get weed vaping temp you do get a lot of Vapor pouring out while heating, although even one drop of vg seems to go on longer than the herb. Can vape up a bowl mixed, ditch the herb put in a fresh bowl of weed and still get that vg vapor from what's stuck on the heater.

Then you can give it either enough torch for just vg and leave the herb untouched, or give it more torch and vape some weed. I find I can get 10-15 minutes of heavy use from a bowl like this if I really want. Where as normally I'll get 5 or so minutes before a bowl is done. Sometimes after a bowl I just put in a drop of vg and vape that. Allows me to play with the vg which I love, blow vapor clouds which I also love and use less weed.

So with the VM, I got no need to search new solutions. It's a little bit like the good old MK-2 Technics turntable. Even from the very beginning, they was already perfect.

This is true. I have one of each, although technically (see what i did there), i have an SL 1400 (Not the classic DJ STYLE 1200) so technics did evolve their design (or maybe change is a safer word), wheras i believe Vapman remains unchanged to this day.
