Discontinued Lil' Bud by Vapwood

[Zow237]

I find myself liking this vape more and more every single day. There is just so much to like about it!
1. Its nice in the hand. I have small ass hands and for me it feels quite perfect when hitting the button and trying to use any of the holes as chokes.
2. Ease of use. Click button, start puffing or drawing real slow. I like puffing at first because it helps me gauge the thickness of vapor. Then when i feel the heat or see thick vapor i start to pulse while keeping a slow steady draw. Then boom clouds to my liking .
3. The vapor and vapor quality, superb. Super tasty terps coating the tongue. The bowl seems to keep its taste till its beat and i get some notes i wouldnt get through some other vapes ive used. Im always suprised at how much vapor i have taken in on the exhale
4. Its damnn purty. I love the cherry and the maple switchbox with maple stem. I think its maple ahah.
5. The high. Very clean and effective High.
6. Can microdose and can have quite nice sized loads.
7. Its whatever you want, you can get big clouds small ones that are tasty as fuck and anything in between.
8. No cleaning other than the stem occasionally.
9. AVB is uniform and brown, Fully extracted

Def a versatile vape that can be used anywhere
Can't wait for 2.0

For those of you, who, like me live in a very humid climate and don't have Central Air-Conditioning your flower might be getting too wet to use effectively with the Lil' Bud. Or most vaporizers.

I know that mine did. And I keep it in airtight glass containers.

But the humidity at my house has been 65%-85% for most of the past month. When I went to grind for tonight's stem I nearly sprained my wrist trying to twist my grinder. OUCH. And it's a really great SWII grinder from @InterplanetaryTanner

So I turned my oven on to it's lowest setting, put about 5g on some parchment paper, and let it warm up in the oven for about 12 minutes. Took it out, and it ground up just like well cured flower should. I love the grind I get from the SWII-it's perfect for the Lil' Bud.

And now all is well.

Enjoy your LB FCers.

That is the balance I been telling you about. The extra moisture changes things, and you're previous dialed in screen distance, tamp, grind, get thrown off. Dry / grind (or just crush by hand) for consistent results.

Had go to out into the world and work yesterday, wife took off, today I'm home, she's at work. Normally, I'd take my little guy out for a while, run him like crazy, and then I'd head into the shop for hours. Today, I gave him his medication, he's knocked out. When he gets up, I hope and pray he's less wobbly, can see a bit better, doesn't bang into too many things, fall and hurt himself. Tomorrow he goes in for an MRI, a pretty big thing for a little guy. We'll know more about what it could be after the test.

Thank you batch 7 customers for all the patience
I am doing my absolute best to do the right thing by my loyal, patient customers. I never saw this coming, and we are praying things will improve, but even if they don't, my wife and I will make provisions over the weekend to enable us to get stuff done. I have 18 orders on my dining room table, boxed but not fully packed up. Units, stems, screens, tabs, batts, all ready to go. I need to make some extra back plates and stir tools before I can get to the post office. Another dozen orders will be right behind it. I might not be in the shop a lot today, but plan on making up for it in the upcoming weeks. It's not much, but I'll include some hemp fiber in everybody's order. I NEED to get back to full blown building for my own sanity and well being.

A 3 foot hunk of really gnarled up figured walnut has just arrived. I could tell by how heavy the stock was, the density must be off the chart. It's got that marbley look. There is still a few days left for the whereswalnut coupon code (save $20). And we now have a limited supply of some beautiful Koa wood, thanks to @P.A.M.

@Bravesst sending prayers your way. Hope everything goes well.

Going on vacation next month and I'm going to need an idiot-proof vaporizer for flower-all I've got are on-demand and I've not had great experience with passing around on-demand devices with folks who are inexperienced, especially after they get high.

So I've been looking at the original Solo and just pulled the trigger on it. One of the main reasons I did is that it has a setting of 122F and comes with an aroma therapy cup. That will be the perfect way to dry nuggets out for vaping in the Lil'Bud. It makes me happy that my vapes can work together to enhance the experience. But I shouldn't be surprised-those Canadians have their shit together.

Loyal Peeps.

Sorry for my absence. Some personal stuff going on that's thrown a wrench in the mix. I apologize, but as you know, it's just me and sometimes life gets in the way. This time, not in a good way. I had to take off today and tomorrow from LB building. Good news is, I took off from other work on Saturday to give me more shop time over the weekend. I really didn't see this coming, and I'm praying it works itself out. Maybe a few prayers my way might help as well. Thank you all.

Been away from the LB forum for a bit. Praying things improve for your sidekick! Dogs are people too!!!

Cannabis and animal loving seem to go hand in hand.

I had a unusual inquiry today. Someone wants to know if Lil' Bud can combust on purpose. The answer has to be a yes, but I'd have to advise against purposeful combustion in Lil' Bud.

While Red sitting all day, I managed to cut 20 stir tools, pair a half dozen spare back plates, separate some hemp fiber, and get all my boxes finalized. Now it's just a matter of getting the time to make it to the post office. Tomorrow is a rather long busy work day. The summer can get pretty active with for me with different events. Tomorrow I'll be teaching at a school in Queens during the day, and at an outdoor event in Brooklyn during the late afternoon and evening. I'll be with a group of five firefighters all day. Red gets his MRI and my poor wife has to do it alone. Saturday I'm home, so even though the postal clerks will hate me on Saturday morning, I'll be at the post office with 18 packages bright and early.

I'm completely exhausted the night before a 14 hour work day. I really don't care as long as Red gets better and I can get back to the glory of my mundane life - playing with Red, building, vaping, repeat.

 

[beyond6strings]

@Bravesst there's a whole army of LB fans who are sending all the love they can in Reddy's direction. He's been on my mind a lot lately. I don't have a dog of my own right now, we have 3 cats that I love and adore, but one of my very best friends in life was Ivy-a four-legged mutt from Taos, NM. I saved her when she needed saving and she was kind enough to return the favor for 12 years. I get it.



Which is Cheers in Cannabis icons.

BTW, I was bragging on you and the LB earlier today in a private chat.

EDIT: That's a strange fucking request-who the fuck wants to make an all-wood flower vaporizer combust? That's just not going to end well.

Just curious about the ordering process. The $50 down option is only if I want to partially pay and then finish later closer to the actual ship date, and the other lil buds listed on the site are the pay for it in full at the beginning, option right? You don't actually have those units in stock ready to ship? If I were to put in an order today i'd receive it around late august correct?

That is correct

Lil' Buds are built in small batches when you order. Whether you put $50 down or pay in full, you're assigned to the next open batch (late August). You need to pay in full prior to shipping.

Big day for Lil' Red... Thanks for the prayers, he needs them. On top of that, I got some disturbing news from my flower guy. His guy is having problems. I'm not happy. LB needs to be fueled, and I don't like rationing. Too bad medical in NY state isn't flower, yet. Anyone have experience with medical oils that come in a cartridge? Thought I'd be able to add oil to some stems, but I'd have to break open the cartridge to use LB.

If the cartridge has a 510 connection like i get mines then you can just screw it on any mod in wattage/power mode and turn it to lowest setting and vape away. Gets me right. Otherwise you need the skinny atomizers from fasttech or aliexpress, then you just transfer the oil with a syringe (big hole) unsure of size. My prayers are with your friend my brother. I lost my guy after 17 years. He helped raise me and my siblings, 6 puppies (none were his), 10 cats and 2 parrots. The most friendly, faithful and loyal pitbull I have had the pleasure of knowing. All the best my friend.

Edit: By the way, my wife and I need to thank you. We now are both certified, registered, card carrying members (patients) of the New York State medical marijuana program WOO-HOO

Hey All!
Went postal with 15 domestic orders. Monday I'll ship a few international orders. Off to my 14 hour day. Tracking will go out tomorrow morning, not gonna get to a computer til then.

 

[beyond6strings]

@Bravesst see if you can find cannabis oil in syringes. They have them in MA dispensaries. You can put some in the hemp fiber and put the hemp fiber where the flower usually goes. That's probably my favorite way of doing concentrates.

Just got a figured walnut with the code. Can't wait for august lol.

 

[Bravesst]

Made it to the post office yesterday, on the way to work. I posted from my car in front of the post office, right before driving in. Going to send tracking info in a bit.

I wound up working until about 10 PM, got home like 11 and went almost right to sleep. Red has inflammation on his brain, just what the doc thought it was. He's already been started on prednisone, please keep prayers coming. I hope and pray we can take him home this morning. He may have to be on steroids for quite a while (year or two), but there is a chance it will take down the inflammation and allow him to lead a normal Lil' Bud life. I don't care if he loses step or two, only that my 3 year old pup can lead a normal, happy life. I know I need him back to keep my sanity. Remember, Reddy is the inspiration for Lil' Bud.

Weed guy came through --- haven't gotten it yet, so not sure if quality is as top notch as usual, but I think it is, as he's pretty particular. That is very good news right now. I may have to go back to horde mode, building up to a half pound stash, about six months for me.

I tried my meds yesterday. Just hit on the vape pen with cartridge they give you. At best wispy, but I felt something, especially if I took back to back to back hits without exhaling. Very stealth, convenient, but just not a lot. Then I got home and took a hit on LB and had my face blown off.

The plan is to build a couple more units over the weekend, and ship Monday with the international orders from the first half. That will still leave a few Total Package orders, as I have to build gauges as well, as well as the second half of batch 7.

Thank you all for your support, patience, understanding. The only way I can repay you is by offering you a kick ass vape at a fair price. I'm extending the $20 OFF sale with coupon code *whereswalnut* to all units except QM, PH, and Koa (not yet listed but available). That includes Total Package and Bare Bones units. You can actually buy a bare bones cherry unit for $129 plus shipping. I can only afford to run this deal for this weekend, ends tomorrow at midnight.

Tracking info just sent. Now to finish off the batch and get cranking on batch 8!

Doing my first hemp fiber bowl. I have lots of drenched little balls of hemp that are going to produce some dramatic effects, as well as clouds.

 

[beyond6strings]

So happy to hear that Reddy has a path forward. He's been on my mind a lot.

I first started vaping the carts-a little over a year ago. I just couldn't find a vaporizer that gave me what I wanted from flower. That changed last fall when I discovered the vapcap, and then shortly after that handheld log vapes. And then in February I got my first LB.

Now that I've stopped performing I keep a couple of pens/carts around for my wife because she likes them, and for those times when discretion is the most important thing. But other than that I'm not a huge fan of carts.

 

[Bravesst]

@beyond6strings Could not have said it better myself. Out and about, you can duck into a bathroom, or just walk down the street, and literally this thing gives up zero smell and disappears in your hand. What I'm doing is actually completely legal, but it's still nice to be able to be totally invisible. The odorizer in the bathroom was 10X more potent. Last night at my street fair, I managed to get five or six nice hits on bathroom breaks. But still, when I got home, LB was waiting to float me off to sleep...

I've been trying to conserve, so been working on some used hemp fiber, all nice and saturated with all sorts of good stuff. I'm a bit amazed at the longevity of each session and the size of the clouds. But what is crazy impressive is the effect. Ever stop vaping because you just forget to take a hit? I took a hit or two, set down LB, and literally forgot to pick him up for like 45 minutes. Normally I'd go back two or three times in 45 minutes.

You should check out Pocket One for a real discreet device. We were in Vegas recently and they were great. It fits most cartridges and only the mouthpiece sticks out. It is easy to palm this device and use out in public. We each had one and used thru out the casinos and everywhere else. There is no reason to hide with this because it is a new device and not a dead give away like a pen battery.

 

[Bravesst]

Good morning all. I got into my wood shop for a bit yesterday. The increased efficiency of my process is paying off. I broke out my last piece of walnut that is incredibly figured and quite gnarly. I had to work around the numerous knots. The marbley-ness was amazing. I cut and thicknessed to size, wound up with 7 units out of the entire slab. All in all, got 10 more figured walnut units started, and cut the battery compartment mortise in each one. With no more walnut stock, I had to go on ebay and search for some, and have another slab on the way. Walnut is very popular.

So while Walnut continues to sell, these 10 Cherry Lil' Buds have been left without homes. It saddens my heart to see these boys just sit there. All are one hour away from being assembled, final finished, and inserted directly into batch 7B.

Bare Bones - $130
Mouthpiece - additional$25
If interested, please refer to column / row and add note to paypal. IE: R3 C2
These lil' guys still need some TLC, final fitting / fitting / finish, but minor stuff.
Limited Time Offer - Ends in 72 Hours (Wednesday Morning) - Only via PayPal
All other online orders will be batch 8.

On another note, hemp fiber has been helping me test LB very thoroughly, in two ways. One, I'm not limited by my ability to tolerate a monster hit, as I push, push, push hard, to almost combustion. It also gives me a chance to drive it hard with the saturated hemp. When vaping the saturated fiber, I can crank the hell out of LB and not combust, holding down the button, pulling hard, blowing ridiculous clouds. My point is this. 99 percent of repairs have been the one Achilles heel of Lil' Bud, and the only thing I can't really control - the switch. By removing the weaker switch from the equation, and basically OVER building LB, there is literally nothing left to go wrong. As a businessman (which I'm not really) I shouldn't be telling my customers that one vape will last a really long time, but I think it will with the new round top 3 amp switch. I am really looking forward to hearing about it from you guys. It is nothing like earlier models.

20% Discount Batch 1 - 6 Customers
For you older customers, I really can't upgrade you, as the switch box and battery compartment are different dimensions in version 2. I can offer you a trade in (you can actually keep the unit, but trade in the warranty). For previous customers, meaning batch one through six, coupon code: firstsix will give you a 20% discount across the board when spending $150 or more. That offer applies to website sales only, and does not include my homeless Lb offer. Obviously, if you put in the code, and are not actually a batch 1 through 6 customer, I will refund your money or ask for the balance. This sale will run thru August.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Reddy home, healing up. We're hoping praying meds work. Thank you all for the positive energy and prayer sent Reddy's way, please keep it up. Means a lot.

@Bravesst


- loving the 1.0 maple I picked up and need the 2.0!! That PH/ma combo would be sick with a PH stem


..also I prefer the LB to the not mentioned wooden vape. The copper door swinging and glass peices made it a real turn off and using the LB is a pleasure without the added anxiety.
