Vapman

[M0J0]

In my expirience it is not necessary to fill up the bowl completely for a good result. The Vapman works very efficient even with the smallest amounts. It's something that I appreciate a lot with this little fellow. About the ground material: If you draw carefully it doesn't matter how fine the grinding is. With M0J0's advice about the added screen you can even pull as hard as you want to. By the way: Who else does like to hold the VM a little while longer in your hands after you are done vaping?

I agree. Vapman works well with tiny amounts as well.

René recommends not packing the bowl right. I leave about a millimeter of empty space between the herb and the top edge of the bowl. To allow air flow and also if I want to mix the material with one of the locking pins mid session.

I also agree that this is the only vape I own that I keep looking, and marveling at, at end of session.

@imtp I'm glad you discovered the magic of vapman. It'll only get better as you become closer friends.

if I want to mix the material with one of the locking pins mid session.

Interesting you mention this, (because its not mentioned often). i've been on a little hiatus, but on a recent session i decided to stir because the top of the bowl was still 'greenish'. it occured to me, 'i don't stir with Vapman often, but sometimes it does need a stir'. and like you said @Mojo, the locking pin is perfect for that...

also, my previous assessment is proving ever more true to me

With the stronger dense clouds from Vapman, i realized i'm taking in the particular cannabinoids that are released at higher temperatures (without irritation), whereas i'm not getting those same cannabinoids from Mighty because my comfort zone is at far lower temp.

Last night it was Me, Vapman, and Northern Lights. .1 max in the bowl. such a nice session. effects? powerful. A few hours later, same herb, different vape, closer to about a .2 - .25 in a Mighty dosing capsule. Effects? very Nice but less intense. Mellow vibe with a lesser cerebral effect... environment plays a factor though, and my mood and environment changed between sessions. Its fun, these comparisons always remind me why i've spent so much time with vapman, and that it easily competes with the best of the best!

And it does that with such elegant simplicity. It's amazing.

Me for sure, the organic shape, wood texture and the residual warmth makes it the perfect object to play with, especially when under its influence...

This. No other vape comes close to the Vapman in terms of the level of intimacy you can have with it.

This morning I tried to count how many hits I got from a low temp Station session. Full pan, first cycle on 6 to heat everything up and then twelve hits on 1. Thirteen hits from maybe a 0.1 with the first and the last one being pretty wispy (but the first one is pure flavor.).
This is the resulting ABV:

I don't know about anyone, but you certainly can!

Hola buen día .
Espero que te encuentres bien. Me gustaría saber si podrías ayudarme con las medidas de la cazoleta del vapman. Veo que tienes alguna suelta.

Perdona, pero que es una cazoleta?

mmm .. Es La parte que está confeccionada en cobre y bañada en oro en el vapman gracias por responder

Te envié un Mensaje privado para no confundir a los nativos.

Edit: although, Google Translate (translate.google.com) works very well now that they're using AI.

I sent you PM, so as to not confuse the natives. Haha.

Vapman porn alert!

I'm going to start making the Walnut Classic/Mica Dark Chocolate.

These are very dark - basically a Faux Ebony with the classic Infinity Knot tattoo.

The engraving looks much sharper in person.

They will be up on the website later today.

Peace

Aaaaaaand I want another Vapman!

Hey Mojo!,

Beautiful work...! how much it's cost?

I have a question about the accuracy of the temperature regulation of the Station, maybe it is a question for René?
The heating element of the station / docking station itself reaches a temperature of 330°C as we know. The settings reach from 1 (160°C) to 6 (230°C). So if I choose for example to set the station to 1 and do lots of heating cycles with the same load over and over again, does the content of the bowl goes eventually over 160°C over time? Or is it somehow measured in the station and flashes green faster if it's already hot enough? I am curious how reliable the dial settings are in fact. It seems like a complicated job to achieve precision - though I am quite sure René and his team are capable to pull that off... Would like to know more about it, it's interesting stuff.

Has anyone used a XiKAR stratosphere with the Vapman? I wonder if it the cap gives enough clearance for heating the pan.

Not that exact model but I have the Windmill it's copied from. There's enough room to avoid the cap on mine, but you ROAST YOUR THUMB in the blowback from the VM cone. You really do want a torch that points the fire in a different direction than your thumb. Right angle is OK, but 'slanted' like with the VM lighters and my favorites:

I suggest you order at least one from each source (three bucks shipped) so 'slow boat from China' delays don't impact too much?

The lighter you suggest you won't be happy with by comparison.

Speaking about torches I was thinking about trying this one from Colibrì:

There are not a lot of "good" angled torches and I like how the cap slides away from the flame.

 

[RedEyeRasta]

marcuss, don't tell me you believe in the butane myth. It's just not true that butane can escape flame and be inhaled. The hydrogen component burns far too easily for butane to pass intact. And with a torch lighter, not even the carbon survives the burn.

even if so, with the vapman you heat first, then inhale

Friend of mine has these, they have a great feel to them since they weigh quite some, but the black matte finish wore off pretty quickly.
The tank is definitly twice or less the size of the vapman one, but it lit very well every time.
For the cost I would not reccomend it actually. Maybe as a fancy home based one.

*sigh*
Finding a good lighter is really tricky. I feel like spending a bit is OK. I'm not a fan of ridiculous long shipping pollution caused to provide me with a 6cm plastic device. But don't want to spend 50€ either.
In the end my trusty VM lighter has been a steady companion, lasting since august, with a nice angle, tank and feel.
The flame is not as strong as say the colibri, but I think if I would loose it tomorrow (knock on vapman) I would order me another vapman one.

Edit: just noticed the back to back posts.
Sorry for that.

Agreed. I don't understand why people focus on alternatives when the lighter chosen by Renee to accompany his piece of art has proven rock solid...and it ain't that expensive.

@Kozzmozz thanks for your feedback.

There are intensionally no degrees marked on the dial settings as it is of course not possible to heat vapman within a few degrees accurate with this system. What I can stand for is; on one setting, over the duration of a whole session, the result is always identical! Instead of thinking in single degrees, it should be looked at as a range of degrees within a temperature window. On setting 3 for instance, it could be between 160°C and 190°C, meaning that on 3 you will never be below 160°C and never above 190°C. The lower temperature is not a problem anyway, all vaporizers, even the one with single digit displays are going through the lower temperatures during the warm up phase. Important is not to pass the high temperature and having the AVB's more roasted than desired! The station fulfills this task each and every time and is therefore a reliable and safe tool for heating vapman. The station does actually measure the temperature of vapman when placed on the station (indirectly by measuring the cooling down of the docking part), but with all the uncertainty factors like surrounding temperature, contact between vapman and docking part, content of the bowl...etc, accurate single digit temperature is not possible and will not be possible.

Temperature display and effective temperature inside a load of herbs is one of the most misunderstood aspect with vaporizers anyway. The display of 187°C for instance, doesn't necessarily mean the temperature of the herbs is 187°C, at least not evenly and everywhere. It only shows that the temperature sensor measures 187°C, thats all. Heat is not an easy phenomenon to work with and herbs are, depending on the moisture, good insulators. As mentioned before, the maximum temperature is crucial, all temperatures below are not an issue and have no effect on the end result. The only way to find out the right temperature is by sneaking up to desired temperature with the aid of our sense of taste and checking the AVB's visually. Thats what we all do unconsciously.
