The Dude abides.
look what arrived today from the 420 sale... i am really happy with it. and finally the improvements i was always looking for. its gorgeous!
I love the golden shimmer of the wood. Absolutely stunning!
The springs from from italian Vapman 1.0 are the same as the 2.0.
Don’t have access to my older Vapman right now, but looking at the 2.0 inner metal piece I’m guessing it does fit the older centerpiece as well.
Following up on my original complaint(s): The olive wood smell/taste does go away eventually.. takes a couple ride the line goes to season it! damn tho, third and final ride the line hit is f'n HOT and felt like a combustion hit to the throat. I really thought I combusted with that much vapor, lol. but nope just really dark coffee brown and little bit of black avb 
It does hit hard and works well once you figure it out. Don't rush to judgement like I did.
thanks people, carry on..

Fucking Combustion (mostly) Since February 2017
This is the mantra of many first-timers with manual vapes once they get it.
The next phase is the mental disaster that happens for you when you try to convince an electronic user to learn to use your manual vape, and they hate it while they combust all through your piece. Then they give up.
Now you have to clean it too.

This came at home today

I asked Michael to calibrate the heating station at higher temp as i read here that i was possible. The set is amazing, the flavour at his best.
The adjustable airflow on this 2.0 is a real plus, making a welcome change from the toothpicks in the holes on the old model.
What would be the best advices to make the most of the station?

My best advice: treat it as a session. The building heat is what you're after. It's still a fairly conscious experience in that turning away or getting distracted will have it shut down or you will lose your heat buildup. You can also temp-step (it's not necessary, just fun). Finally, share it with your friends, they should find it as easy as you do! ; )This came at home today

When I started temp-stepping with the station, it was a revelation. At first I felt like my station, while beautiful, was a downgrade in the vapman experience. Now I start at the lowest temperature and have a nice flavorful, meditative session similar to the torch.
So I guess, for me, treating it like a vapman made me love my station.

I went from like 4-6 after ~3 hits at each step. Do you turn up after each hit?
Not each hit. Basically 3-4 or where I feel like the vapor needs a boost. Similar to how I use the torch.

A few of my friend got to try the Station, and as said, very easy to understand and from what was said, a very pleasing experience
I am still experimenting the Station, especially this temp step, and with hash. Up to now it seems to me to be a very good way to enjoy each taste at every temp level. And having a few puffs at every temp level seems to heat better ‘a coeur’, and when I end at 8, a few puff and everything looks nicely extracted. But if I start at 8, I don’t seem to get the same level of extraction. But maybe you get to enjoy a wider spectrum of taste in less puffs. I don’t know if that makes sense, just my impressions, and as I said, still testing
Is the station designed for inhaling with the vapman on top? I've tried it and the results are good and consistent but i don't want to damage the device

I don’t think it’ll hurt the vapman but the station might timeout over the course of a session. I don’t know that you’re going to get the kind of big clouds from the VM like you would with a Tempest or Anvil. I think that’s actually part of its charm.Is the station designed for inhaling with the vapman on top? I've tried it and the results are good and consistent but i don't want to damage the device
I haven't tried. I don't think it would harm it, but I suppose I don't know. I just the vapman set them dial, put the vapman on, watch the lights, remove the vapman and inhale.Is the station designed for inhaling with the vapman on top?

I can’t remember, does the station have an auto shutoff? If so I don’t think you’d damage it

My VS was waiting for me when I got home from work yesterday. I was so excited to see it. The tracking stopped when it left Switzerland so I had no idea where it was or when it would be delivered. It surprised me with how small it is. The same size as a can of coke. I have had about 10 bowls...

I Do not think that there are risks of damaging but as you know aready, i think, you have to take off the vapman for reheating the Station anyway.Is the station designed for inhaling with the vapman on top? I've tried it and the results are good and consistent but i don't want to damage the device

It turns out, these letters are easily removed with a toothpick. Remove very very thin layer of mica on letters area only. Be gentle.

Lotus Friday is a beautiful thing, maybe we should have Vapman Monday, too!
Surprisingly, my station seems to need higher settings on the dial for my Italian vapmans, but the Swiss ones work fine at the lower settings. It's the opposite of my expectations. I'm willing to bet there is enough variance in these handmade devices that each one could be unique on the station.

I loved that Vapman when it came out...it is so very beautiful. I recently acquired one and its gorgeous. I love the photo. Very nice...Lotus Friday is a beautiful thing, maybe we should have Vapman Monday, too!

The Italian bowl is slightly heavier than the Swiss one. An Italian Vapman should drain more heat from the aluminium pole to get at the same temp than a Swiss unit. This is probably why it needs a higher setting.
