Indeed.
What put me off with the glass bat is that everyone seem to agree that a regular lighter works better than a torch. And I don't want to use a regular lighter. And the bowl is big...

Do you have one ? Can you comment on the use with a torch ? How's the bowl size ? Does it need ground material or a small nug can work ?

I don't have one, I've got a hand-carved, bronze sherlock and used to have a painted one. Soft flames are crap for VG IMO and even the maker has had a change of mind considering they stock torch flame lighters now.

The bowl size on the glass bat never looked big tbh, well nothing on that unit looks big 😂 I never got one as it seems too small so worried about how hot it would get.

Contrary to @Flower of empathy I never grind my material for my VG, just break small bits off by hand. And I've put small nugs in before and then break them up a bit after a few hits occasionally. But small bits roughly done by hand is my usual. My hand-carved lives in one of my bags and is my ultra reliable travel vape.

That glass bat seems to have a bit smaller diameter but longer bowl than the vg pipes or coil i'd suspect? - there is only one shop in EU that has some stock of the normal pipe left, not much to choose....
It took a while to find the right soft flame lighters for the pipe - a well filled 'clipper mini tube' is the way to go, complete game changer for me :rockon:

Speaking of glass Vapor Genies, the Sherlock is fantastic. It's so easy to use it feels like cheating and the vapor quality is that of a glass Brick. Best thing is the heater fits any 18mm bowl and scales up to lungbuster with no effort. One of the finest direct-torched vapes for sure.

My first manual was the 2016 Dyna M. Prior to it, tried to FC with a Vapor Bros unit. The manual ritual, vapor density, and heat made it more like the pipes & Js I was so used to. Next year upgraded to the Omni and rocked that for a long time 🥳

this was my first manual vape also but i sent it back as I never had a clue how to use it back then. I think i will get another at some point.

Someone on Instagram was selling one for only $25, I remember wanting one way back when, tempting though I am pretty done now and know I would never actually use it lol

I don't use it a lot but it's pretty fun--I've used it with my @CDXX Pipes Convectorium and it'll drive that without a hitch. I could see it being a DD for someone, though, cuz it's so easy.

Unregulated Tendencies
Feels like a bit of clarification is in order. When you say manual, do you mean flame-driven unregulated or do batteries count (ie Toad, Milaana, etc.)?

In the meantime, I’ve posted this guy before:

Not in general rotation but on the nights I want a quick, self-inflicted uppercut and can’t be bothered to deal with the Anvil, this will very much do.

Quartz heaters deserve more love. As does TRWW for almost single-handedly populating the niche.

Battery powered manual vapes count

Sure, why not? I was thinking more flame-powered but unregulated vapes require you to engage them to a similar degree. I use an intuitive method to time my Brute which is very manual feeling. Besides, I'm sure I'll forget and post something too! ; )

Man, that Convection Cap looks awesome on the glass body!

About time someone started mentioning the Lamart Piro. It's excellent with hash and even smaller than the Vapman.

Man I love the Piro. It's kind of like one of RWW's clever glass vapes refined to absolute perfection and then dressed up as a gorgeous little brick. Love that it uses a joint and basket for a really great sized bowl (and a bigger one just below), and that it can drive any size glass or even just a straight stem. It's so easy to use and it's got a huge temperature range due to the usual factors plus the long, curved intake. What a great vape!

Don't forget solar powered (I hope I get that to work soon) :D

There is also the ‘18mm Killer Quartz Cap’ from GVB. Does anyone have it and can say something about its functionality and performance?

This is a beast.
It works really well. I still can't get over that I had to sell mine.
Fun to use, superb flavor, huge clouds. It's a really minimalist vape, just what you need : a thermal battery.
Be sure to get a strong kitchen torch to go with it. The blazer big buddy used to do a great job with mine. Lab test tube clamps are also very useful with it.

I'll skip the elev8r and go with the EMK if I was looking into that kind of vape.

The Eighteen Millimeter Killer by Good Vibes Boro

Finally snagged the 18mm killer on the latest drop. A wireless glass ball vape should be fun. Time to buy a lab clamp.

Yeah it is great, thread needs more activity!

Interesting, thank you! I have a Blazer Big Shot and a Prince GB-2001, so plenty of thermal battery here. I’ll check it out, thanks! :tup:

I don’t really have any idea about the elev8er, but that thing looks like fun. Does it basically work like the Terpcicle, for example?

He's also made a 24mm Killer. Not sure I've torched that one yet, but both are excellent heated by coil:
