There is an omission in my last post (three posts up) on step 3 of the log building outline. There should be another bullet point at the end of step 3 that states:
After washer base is attached to tubing, cut two air intake slits near the base of the tube. I widen the slits so they are wider...

Congratulations on your log crafting project.
There is no definitive right way to make these but here are some of my thoughts (Hopefully the links to the images work):
Heater:
I use the 24v/30w printer cartridge heater similar to your 24v/40w one. Running these with a 12v 1 or 2 amp...
I like the log style. If going small chamber then a traditional one like an underdog, heat island, or enano. I think they are best when paired with a wpa adapter in wood or glass. If I lived alone, I would own a ZX, so look into that one as an end game desktop dry herb vape. Between my three...
DynaVap is conduction small load and the Lotus is convection with a larger chamber. The glass hook with the lotus will allow for more cooling. I prefer the convection high generally speaking and suggest you go in that direction. But for quitting smoking conduction might make the transition...
@blokenoname - Looks great. You inspire and have taught some of us well. Such a great tool that flies under the radar. I like the slightly larger diameter heater cover at 7/16" outside diameter. Also through water or a dimpled j-hook for cooling. My favorite device.
Welcome back and good to read your post @blokenoname. I look forward to the finished cardboard tube log. Yeah @Alan has posted some great ideas on log building. I like how you’re trying his wooden puck base with the sleeve configuration. Way to go.
The TM is considered like the best portable convection vape. A great many here appreciate convection hits. You chose wisely. Get to know it as suggested. If you want a conduction vape that gets a lot of respect, check out the vapman. A vapman will give you that toasty end flavor when pushed and...
Yeah, I have an olive v1 Italian and recently bought the basic maple click. I reach for the click more as it is easier to gauge with that one temp marker - the click. A tiny amount like .02- .03 grams, a couple of hits pre click then a couple after and the herb is spent. The beauty of the click...
@coolbreeze That is one beautiful piece of @Alan s work. What type of wood is that? It’s amazing and I bet it’s pure convection bliss. Tempted to sign back up.
I dose roughly the same amounts with my self made @Alan design clone 7/16” heater cover log.I read the diy misty vape thread and the HI thread to learn how. Always thought if someone mass produced logs in Asia or something retail price could be quite low. Was just looking at the vapman lotus...
I’m impressed by the people using .005 or .01 gram amounts. Also impressed by weekend only tokers. Yesterday I got out the $20 micro scale and measured out a dose for a change. I split .04 grams in half. Consumed both amounts with my log and sake bong. Second cleanup hits were useless with no...
If you have the UD nylon wpa with steel tube that goes insides the heater, try replacing the steel tube with a paper roasting tube. Better flavor, less heat loss to the chamber walls. Pure convection.
