Went 12.5v on the glass stem (direct draw) with a smallish load (I never measure, always just eyeball) and WOW was that a smack to the head. NICE. Looks like some Dyna tip experiments are in order too...

I *really* enjoy the SmokeStack. Almost unreasonably so. I use it with a j-hook rather than a bubbler, but that would work quite easily.

I started a bit lower, around 10, and that was quite nice; second fill I realized I was thinking about my HighLighter and went lower for flavor ... which kinda worked. Still very nice but slooooooooow. Remembering now to run this a bit higher, which I'll put into practice this weekend.

Aaaand Bamboo HI itself received! Actually about a week ago; took it on it's first voyage last Friday and WOW was that wonderful. Flavorful, productive, and stretched a small amount an impressive way. I used a J-hook paired with the GONG stem for this first run, so a mostly glass (aside from...

Bamboo HI email received! 🤩

Took a while BUT finally rejiggered everything with the proper bulb (to be clear, I don't think that was a vendor issue, I suspect Amazon) and fired it up last night through a J-hook. DAMN. Hit like a ton of bricks with a 5-minute warmup, 8 volts. Could probably go lower too ... this will be...

I remembered that I have a bamboo "botany tray" (ha!) that I bought from an athletic-wear manufacturer I like ... small business and the owner is a huge fan of cannabis so 4/20 always sees fun accessories. :cool:

Circling back around to the Smokestack setup, finally got a chance to fire mine up again last night ... man is that a great vape. TONS of flavor. TONS of vapor. Only downside is that it takes quite a while to cool down, so you better have somewhere safe to place it. Torch technique got better...

Soooo I built one of these bad boys a month or so ago going off the spreadsheet parts list (kits were OOS at the time), but could not get more than a pleasant flavor hit. After futzing around on and off the past week, I finally figured it out: the link for bulbs on the build sheet went to 10W...

Well, mine has been a big hit so far. I've only gotten to use it once, since it lives at my partner's house which is a few hours away. Kicked my ass for sure though, and had tasty vapor that was nice and cool. I used the bag the first time around. She's been a more frequent user and is...

Ahhh, that's a good tip for the red flame; I kind of noticed that but didn't realize that was the key. For the SB comparison, it's more that there's a technique to get the heat right with yours, but the flavor and vapor was always there. With my SB, my technique never really dialed in so I'd get...

Just a note that the one evening of messing about with the SmokeStack was eye-opening. WAY easier to nail down large tasty hits (for me at any rate) than with my SBJ, and while I need to tinker with technique a bit and timing, I think this could be my favorite analog vape soon. Only annoying bit...

Howdy fellow athletic types! Nice to see all the endurance folks here as a former runner/dabbling MTB'er. These days I've shifted my endeavors to strength sports, the weirder the better. Therefore, I compete in kettlebell sport (good grief, 11 years now), and am in my fourth season of throwing...

My first post in this thread I mentioned that I'd probably dither all summer over the next vapes. That was ... a poor guess. Since then: Highlighter build Arizer XQ2 (that lives with my GF) Added a TRWW cooling unit and the FMJ to my Dyna set TRWW SmokeStack (today) TRWW VStick 2.0 Got on the...

SmokeStack and VStick 2.0 (amber) just landed! Can't wait to give'em a spin; SmokeStack up tonight, VStick tomorrow.
