@204Markie - I use silicone tubing with my HI on occasion. It fits nicely onto the 10mm glass mouthpiece tube of my Slide-a-Bowl tube or connects to a 13mm glass tube using a Turbo Tube sleeve. It helps to use the two screen method so that you don’t risk loosing any material when you turn the...

@Bravesst - It was great to see you during your vacation to Denver. Seemed like it was too short (as vacations always are). So many more ideas to discuss and products to make. At least you got to try my sourdough waffles. I have still tasted no better. Glad I was able to provide you with a few...

@P.A.M. - Thanks for posting the photo. Your bamboo HI is still looking good. Shows how small Lil' Bud is next to it. I didn't fully understand how small Lil' Bud is until I tried one last night. Mike is in town for the 4/20 holiday, so I get the chance to see him a lot. May not get much work...

Safe travels Mike. Looking forward to seeing you and trying out Lil' Bud. Should be a lot of great brainstorming.

@204Markie - Thanks so much for getting me to think about an aromatherapy option for the glass heater cover HI’s. I like to use it better than the copper aromatherapy cups on the SS heater covers too. Glad to hear your bamboo HI arrived safely and you have been enjoying it. Almost impossible to...

I was using a whip, so it was not hot at all. It is just a habit to draw in some fresh air to get some extra oxygen at the end of the hit.

@AngryJon - Thanks for posting the photo. Glad you are enjoying it. I have my Witcher box set at 36 watts which seems to work well for me. @Summer - The only time I use the 18mm glass insert is if a customer requests it or if there are holes in the material that won’t allow me to taper the...

@Bravesst - Congratulations on the release of Lil’ Bud and the move to “Portables”. It is well deserved as you have produced an amazing vaporizer. There will be a lot of people who will benefit from using Lil’ Bud. Great to see the wonderful reviews so far. I’m sure there will be many more. Love...

Good to see you again bOObs. Hope all has been well with you. I see that you found my latest vaporizer design. It is quite amazing. Also 12 volt input like the HI, but it requires at least 8 amps. Heat is only produced when you push the button, so the wood stays cool to the touch. It is very...

@JJ420 - Good to hear the pine HI is still pumping out the clouds. The taste is much better at the lower voltages. @Raskin666 - Thanks for posting the photo. Glad you are enjoying your HI. The heating element is only about 8 watts at 12 volts which is lower than most 120 volt put out. It takes...

@SloJimFizz - Thanks for posting the photos. Glad you are having good results from your iHeat. It is a great way to roast. @Andreaerdna - Glad I was able to make an on demand unit that does not require glass fittings for you. The mouthpiece stem you posted looks really great. Glad the cork...

Thanks @Bravesst. The iHeat 510 cartridge has been an option for those on the waiting list since this summer. About the only change from the initial prototypes was to reduce the diameter from 1” to 25mm so they would fit onto a Witcher box. Just using the o-rings that come with the 510 deck to...

Very nice laser cutting. Can you cut a pattern / design all the way around the tube? I have never tried bending wood stems. Here is a post about how to do it. http://www.pipesbydesign.com/single-post/2014/07/15/How-to-Make-a-Curved-Wooden-Pipe-Stem Looks like a lot of work. Bending bamboo might...

Nice job on the stems. I recall being asked about making something for the capsules once, but never got any to try. Do you leave the flower unground so that small particles from ground flower don't pass through? Maybe just a course grind? I do like how wooden stems tend to stay in the glass...

I have been under the weather, so progress has been slow lately. I was able to complete some iHeat 510 wood bodies. Here is a photo of my latest batch of 25mm diameter wood bodies. Left to right in the front row - black and white ebony, tulip wood, marble wood, elm burl, pink ivory, osage...

I have found the best way to use oil is to mix it with the flower. Hemp fiber also works too, but I like the flavor better mixing it with flower. The larger the surface area, the bigger the clouds.

@virtualpurple - Sorry to hear the issues your are having with your Insta Heat. Have you tried the cartridge on a mod box yet to see if you are getting similar results? Happy to take a look at it to see what the issue might be if you aren't able to get it working properly. @Bravesst - Thanks...

@P.A.M. - That is like a galactic or double spiral. I was planning to try that configuration on my next coil build. It will make it easier to connect the wires to the 510 deck. My only concern is that there may be too much center heat that will cause uneven roasting. Only one way to find out...

Glass between the heater and wood will only prevent conductive heat transfer, it will not stop radiant heat transfer. Since the spiral coil is free standing, it does not require glass to prevent it from contacting the wood as in the other models you mentioned. The less time that the heater is...

Lil’ Bud is really starting to take shape now. The coil build looks great. Those flexible arms work great for holding the wood disk steady while you form the spiral coil shape. You are correct that the coil formation is the most important part. So nice to have the coil not touching a glass...
