Ed's TnT Wooden Vapor Tubes & Vapor Stems

Hey Ed I was just thinking. I think you should make custom Hydratube stands for the Cloud? Custom exotic wood, who wouldn't want one!! I'm assuming around the same price of a solo dugout maybe?

I haven't pls tell me more!

Check it out Ed.

Actually Ed already thought about it if you read the cloud's thread closely
I'm all in for wood!

Ah yes I have seen these and they do look nice, you all are right some bad ass exotics like Cocobolo with some hand turned wooden dowel rods would look very nice! Seems they do a good job, they just need some more lumber choices!

Exactly! And who has a better lumber selection? You!!!!! Do it Do it!!! Oh and Ed those solo caps are on there way to you

What's the od of the hydratube and its length?

im gunna order a bog oak solo stem today when my roomate gets home!!! i can't wait!!! i hope the shipping to canada doesnt take too long!

I appreciate you wanting to get in on em but dont have any availble at this moment. My wood guy is on vacation this week and last didnt expect these to be so popular. I have 3 other species availble if you like to have a look. Thanks again and i look forward to hearing from you soon.

oh i will still be ordering one no matter what! ill just have to wait on the bogs!!!

Good deal!

Got my Bog Stem today!!!! and it is a thing of beauty! Its funny because today I sent you those caps and then I come home and there is the package sent from you lol.

looks like ill be ordering a blackwood and cocobolo stem in the next day or 2!!!! super excited to switch my solo over to wood!!

Good deal VnS, I hope you enjoy it!

Ill be looking for your order Shred, will make sure you get a couple really nice pieces!

Does anyone watch the FX tv show Wilfred? Seems am gonna have some wood on the show soon!

I never miss an episode! My biggest complaint is the crappy plastic drink bottle they use for a bong. It'll be nice to see some of your wood on TV, Ed (that sounded odd, I know).

WOOOOOOOP!!! just put the order through for some blackwood and cocobolo solo stems!! sooo excited!!!

Edit: ED do you know how long the shipping will take to get to Canada?

Just wanted to let you all know I gotta another great review from Linda, pls check it out!


Hope all is well out there.

I am really trying hard not to use adhesives and the like while making the Solo stems. Some are having issues of separation. This is still not something I wanna hear. I have thought of using a small band of high temp tubing to place over the joint so the two wont come apart. I have seen Alan use this method with his tubes and has had much success. I feel the band would really take away the sleekness but may be an answer. I am right now sending out pieces that have no adhesive or weld what so ever. I am turning small grooves like threads in the wooden shaft and still have the deep groove on the upper end of the shaft. I am using a quite a bit of hemp fiber as a shim and filler between the two and is working in the shop in my solo. You all will notice that you may have about an 1/8" hemp fiber band between the SS and wood, this is what is working now and will be sent out.

Wanted to let you know Ed that I got my newest Bog Oak stem and it has since separated . I have since dealed with it by making a paper shim. Oh and I found my other bog oak stem!! So now I have two!

Hello VnS glad you made it work and found the other you are missing. I am really racking my brain with this separation issue, the Bog Oak is really giving me trouble more so than any of the others. I am really trying not to use adhesives and have since gone to using all hemp fiber, I feel this should work. I also thought of adding a high temp silicone band over the seem to eliminate the separation problem. It would not be quite as sleek as what they are now. I have seen Alan use the band technique and it does work well for him. What are your thoughts VnS? How bout anyone else? Also am thinking that after a few uses the resin should build up and create its own adhesion and may hold tight. Hows everyone's pieces working? I would really like to get some updates from all who are really using theirs.

I think its because my unit is an older ceramic and gets way hotter then others. Or at least that's a thought.
