Does your unit have the 3/8" diameter ss foil disc in the center of the screen? I have found that it eliminates the central hot spot since the hot air enters the perimeter of the bowl. I also like to move the basket screen closer to the end of the tube so that the air doesn't have a chance to...

The circuit boards used are from a newer batch, which may not have used components as good as the previous batch. It is possible the circuit boards are made by multiple manufacturers using the same design. I did experience this with one of my recent voltage controller builds. Tried a few things...

I would really like to use gold mesh or wool for the metal mass, as it should have no impact on the taste and will conduct heat quite well. Not sure where I would find something like that. Working on a batch of bamboo suction cups with the bottoms cut out. They were already the right length, so...

While 100% pure convection heating is an ideal goal, the reality is that conduction and radiant heat transfer are always a part of the equation, even though a smaller part. The walls of the chamber and the basket screen holding the ground material absorb heat from the hot air stream. As they...

There has been a lot of talk lately about having more core mass to smooth out the temperature fluctuation of the core from drawing air through it. I wanted to see if it was true or not, so I built a special heater cover what contained a second ss clip ring to hold a 1" tall stack of ss washers...

Thanks for posting the photos and the review @Vapefanatic Looks like you have your hands full with lots of herbal roasters. So many different ways to roast. Thanks for posting the videos @GoldenBud Those are some nice clouds. Here is a unit I recently made for myself. Have been wanting to try...

Thank for posting the photos and video @GoldenBud Glad you are enjoying it. Here is my latest creation. Had a few extra glass fittings when I first started making the iHeat, but then never used them since I switched to cutting the taper into the wood. Also had a few champagne corks that I...

The slits in the glass do impart spin into the air movement. The speed of the draw will determine how much spin. I find a faster draw will drop the pressure in the roasting chamber which will lower the boiling point of the oil and produce more vapor. Using the flame on the Toasty Tube requires...

Lots of good things going on in the toasty shop. I have started using ss cartridge heaters to power the HI. They were just what I needed for the 12mm 3 slit glass heater cover. A ss basket screen on the end of the heater keeps it centered in the glass tube. Works great with the 16mm/12mm on...

Good to see you again @Vapinghole Can’t stop innovating. Glad you are enjoying your square HI @jeffp I mostly hold the tube and HI horizontally when connecting / drawing vapor to minimize the chance of loosing particles. Thanks for posting the video @P.A.M. Happy to hear you think my prices...

Finally completed the move and almost have the shop up and running again. Has been a big challenge integrating my equipment w/ my late fathers already filled shop space. Keeping the dust contained is vital. @Melting Pot - Thanks for posting the photos. Hope you have been enjoying it. @PPN -...

Thanks for sharing @P.A.M. I like the extra piece of silicone in the middle of the tube for safely handling the hot tube.

I do like coffee. Was very impressed with the Aeropress when I first got it. The inversion method worked great. After a while the plastic developed scratches which allowed the fluid to bypass the rubber plunger. I now only use an Aeropress (not the same one I used for coffee) for extracting oil...

Some major news here. I recently moved to my late fathers house in Nebraska and am still in the process of unpacking. Hoping to get the shop up and running soon. Sorry that it will extend the wait time a bit longer. @Dargin B - Please send me an email to alan@toasty-top.com to get on the list...

Mike can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe he is using RoHS compliant solder that is 3% silver and 97% tin. The nice thing about the spiral coil heater is that it doesn't need to get anywhere close to glowing to create the hot air for roasting since there is a large surface area. The mass...

Now that we are keeping the original FC, I will not plan to create new threads on the new FC. Hopefully that will save the moderators some time and effort. Tried the 10mm bit on the end of the 7/16" ss heater cover @blokenoname and it works perfectly for the dynavap tips. The 3/8" ss tubes are...

I measured the tubes with a caliper and they are right at 16mm. One of the tubes I have yet to cut is 15.88mm and another is 16.04mm. Only have four of the tubes left which means I can only make eight tubes since there is a 14mm GonG on each end. Looking at some glass suppliers and see they sell...

Thanks all. I purchased the 14mm GonG on 16mm glass tubes a while back with the intention of turning them into glass heater covers. They are about 7 inches long with a 14mm GonG on each end of the tube. I just cut it in half and polished the ends to create two tubes about 3.5" (~90mm) long. I...

Would something like this work? It is 16mm OD x 12mm ID glass on a 14mm GonG. The screen is a 12mm basket that I make and sell. The CU might fit into it too for direct draw use.

The waiting list is for custom units only. If they didn't work so well, I wouldn't have such a long list. Many people just get right back on the list, so it will be tough to eliminate it completely. There is no cost to get on the list, so why not. You can always defer to a later time of your...
