Thank you so much @RastaBuddhaTao for giving me the opportunity to work with you on this collaboration. Hope we can make something really special for everyone to enjoy. Looking forward to working @ZC and @KeroZen and everyone else on this project. I have been using a 10A DC/DC buck converter...

Here is my protoype fake battery and dc converter. It is rated for 10A. I have now installed a 5.5mm x 2.1mm socket for the input and connected the wires to the input contacts. Still need to devise an output plug/s that are capable of handling the higher amperage without overheating. The digital...

Was chatting with @RastaBuddhaTao recently about how much I was enjoying the on-demand feature of the Milaana using a DC to DC converter box and a fake battery. Having a consistent heat output for consistent roasting and not having to replace the battery makes it so nice to use. Asked about the...

@Snappo - Thanks so much for the kind words. I enjoy creating new things. I hope there are no bounds. I don't see them if they are there. @slatihe - Thanks for posting the photos. Such beautiful wood. It was a fun challenge to turn a square/curved shape. A lot more hand sanding is involved...

You are welcome. Glad it matches so well. Love the photo. Great way to use it with either end for roasting in the Milaana. Thanks for posting the photos.

@Seren - Glad that I am able to make beautiful things for you. Hope you will enjoy them soon. Have been getting some requests for wooden MistVape Touch stems, so I modified my 14mm WonG tubes to work. I bore the hole for the 10mm screen all the way through the tube now. The screen can be used...

Someone recently requested a spalted maple Milaana stem. Wanted to share a photo of the ones I turned. The wood is spalted birdseye maple. The one on the right is not available.

Thanks for the kind words. I am always trying to improve the design. The Toasty Top now performs like a HI since it uses the same heater cover. I no longer have any Toasty Top units available for immediate sale, so the waiting list also applies to them now. I am putting together some more bamboo...

Thanks for posting the photos and giving me the opportunity to make some stems for the Touch. Finally got to try them in a Touch the other day. Was very pleased with how it performed with and without the glass liner tube. The Touch seems to provide just the right amount of heat for a very tasty...

The bottom hole in the standard wood HI's will be cork unless a wooden bottom cap is desired. The heater cover will be connected to a cork ring. This allows the heater cover to easily be changed from ss to glass or rebuilt if necessary. There is no hot metal contacting the wood body, so there...

An outer core would provide more radiant shielding for the wood as long as it doesn't touch the wood. The slots provide plenty of turbulence inside the heater cover for good heat transfer. Increasing the surface area without adversely affecting the air flow is the goal. @grokit - Great use of...

Here is the thread for it. http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/the-amazing-vapor-lung.7526/ Here is a short video I made of one a few years back.

Here are my latest stainless steel heater covers and heat island technology design. I have eliminated the outer sleeve that was used to hold the heater cover in place. It was transferring too much radiant heat energy to the wood which caused the heater cover to loosen. The outer sleeve was also...

I recently started making a longer version of the stainless steel heater cover. It is pictured here beside the shorter version. The purpose was to reduce the temperature of the bottom washer so that it could be fastened to a cork ring and put into a bamboo HI. The bottom washer and ss mounting...

Glad that everyone is enjoying the wooden stems for the Milaana. I have started using a 10mm glass mouthpiece tube connected with a silicone sleeve on my cherry wood Milaana stem. The glass tube slides through the silicone seal to push the screens out and extends for more cooling. I am finding...

Looking good @Diggy Smalls Can't wait to see more.

I find that supporting the glass from the inside will reduce the amount of breakout that occurs. I use a piece of silicone tubing that is stretched over a metal tube so that it tightly fits inside the glass tube. It is a similar concept to placing a scrap board under the wood you are drilling so...

No need to start over on the list. Send me an email and I will turn you a HI. Sorry to hear about the stuck WonG tube. Sounds like the wood got wet and expanded into the glass. If you let it all dry out for a few days, the wood should shrink enough to loosen. If you have some desiccant...

I always place a second screen on top of the first and push both screens a little ways into the tube. I never need to stir and nothing can fall into the heater screen. Stays very clean. The heater screen in the Milaana I am using still looks brand new. If you swap positions of the screens every...

@Snappo - Thanks for the kind words. I really enjoy creating beautiful and functional things. So nice to have you provide such quality wood for me to turn.
