    The HI

    Thanks for posting the photos slowandsteady. Very happy with how they turned out. @ataxian - It may take me a few weeks after sending me some exotic wood once your name comes up on the list. The cost would be as if it were made from domestic wood. I make them is small batches so it takes me a...

    The HI

    Finished up a batch of HI's recently and had one with a remarkable grain pattern. It is bocote with the grain oriented sideways and an ebony bottom cap. It reminds me of the sun setting on the ocean. Excited to see the Voltage Keeper units introduced. They work really well with the HI. I was...

    The Toasty Top

    Glad you are enjoying your Toasty Top. It does run a little hotter than the PD since there is less wood to remove the heat and the heating element is a little closer to the roasting bowl. I thought that the wood was mohogany when I made it, but believe it may actually be bubinga. That is one of...

    The Voltage Keeper

    The VK truly is an amazing device. Thank you for making them VoltageKeeper. Here is a video of one in action. Having the ability to see the input voltage is important in monitoring the power level of a battery being used. The VK helps extend the useful fife of any battery pack by only...

    The HI

    @exit - If the SSV has the same heater support as the LSV, then it can also be converted to a HIsurfer. The main advantage is the size of the roasting tube you can use. The 3/8" / 10mm size bowls allow for more fresh bowls per gram of your herb. The vapor to air ratio can be very high. It also...

    The HI

    @Jeppy - Thanks for posting the video. Very cool. Exhaled vapor is just wasted anyhow. I have been referring to the stainless steel part of the HI as the core, but it has really just become a heater cover with the latest design. I will start referring to them as heater covers for the new...

    The HI

    @CentiZen - Thanks for posting the photos. Looks great with that mini VVPS. @Hypno vaper - Thanks. The HILite is way smaller than the GTV. Just a little more than an ounce in weight. @JJ420 - Glad to hear your HI is getting you very well medicated. Amazing how low you can go in voltage and...

    The HI

    @JJ420 - That is one of my first HI's. It may still have the two part core. It is eligible for a free replacement core if that is the case. Did you get the right angle adapter for the bottom? @Hypno vaper - The Staron bottom cap is definitely a good way to go. I have many different colors from...

    The HI

    @Dr. Plutonious - The poly is the same material that was used for the PD vapor tubes. The roasting tips are too short and allow too much heat that softens the poly material which is fairly thin. They will work fine in wood or glass tubes. Glad you are finding other uses for the HI as well...

    The HI

    @CentiZen - Glad to hear your HI arrived safely and you are happy with it. I have better luck hovering the HI onto the roasting tube rather than setting it on the tube. The herb can get smashed down which affects the air flow if the HI center tube is pushed too far into the roasting tube...

    Log vape resistors - My DIY Log Vape

    Try forming the ss foil into a square tube larger than the resistor. Squeeze the corners of the square tube together until they form 4 vertical fins around the resistor. Twist the foil tube to form the fins into a spiral and tighten the foil onto the resistor. As long as it doesn't touch the...

    Log vape resistors - My DIY Log Vape

    @lazylathe - Thermal mass at the resistor is good. I was going to try wrapping the resistor with ss foil before I tried the ss tubing. I didn't have any foil but did have some tubing. The foil will shield the radiant energy emitted from the resistor so the wood doesn't get so hot. It will add...

    The HI

    @Vapinghole - Thanks so much. I will plan on an all glass core for you. @Hypno vaper - You are too kind. Nice to be able to get everyone exactly what they want. @Dr. Plutonious - Thanks. I am always trying to make it a better experience. It requires me to do a lot of testing though. Much...

    Life Saber (LSV) by Elev8 Vehicles

    I suffer from an illness called "Modifydis". I have to modify everything. I mainly wanted to show that it could be done, but I also wanted to make what I think is the most versatile vaporizer possible. The glass heater cover slides right over the ss heater cover so it still works with the...

    The HI

    I have wanted to try 14mm GonG connection but would probably just use a purchased connection that I modify. Not sure the heating element would have enough power to heat the glass. May have to go with 110v. Possibly with the GTV I could have an option for either 18mm, 14mm, or 3/8" ss. Here is a...

    Vaping with cotton

    @Enchantre - Glad to hear you had success soaking it in everclear. The fiber filtration has really changed my vapor experience for the better. @John Lewus - Great solution for your HT. Are you roasting the dirty hemp filter in your ELB? @Quetzalcoatl - Try cutting a square of coffee filter...

    Vaping with cotton

    I have recently been placing a small amount of concentrate (wax, hash, or oil) in a shot glass and then dissolving it with a tiny bit of grain alcohol (everclear) until it is broken up and in solution. I then take a bit of hemp fiber sized for my intended roasting chamber, work it into a ball...

    The HI

    Thanks Dr. P - A VVPS would enhance the experience with a glass core as well as with a stainless steel core but both work well at a fixed 12 volts. I am using mine with a fixed voltage power supply and really enjoying it. I can get maybe one more hit using a ss core unit after I am done roasting...

    Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Vaping?

    I was having intestinal troubles off and on for years and finally discovered it was from eating raw almonds. It wasn't the almonds themselves, but the skin of the almond that was causing the problem. They were blocking off areas which allowed infection. I now soak my almonds in water for 24...

    The HI

    Way back when I first started making log vaporizers I was looking for input for features people wanted. A glass air path that was exposed to view was requested. I couldn't think of a way that would hold the glass to prevent it from breaking. After I looked at the post by lazylathe where he...
