    Heat Island Technology

    I believe the core of a vegan UD is the same as a regular UD. The core of the PD, WZ, UD, TT, and Pod all connect at the top (and some the full length of the core) which transfers more heat energy to the wood and makes less available for heating the air at a given voltage. More heat energy...

    Heat Island Technology

    The Wychwood and e-nano are the other log vaporizers using this technology. Thanks Squonk. The core outer tube is closed at the bottom by a stainless steel washer that connects the outer and center tubes together. The core is pressed into a hole bored into the wood body. Air can only enter...

    Heat Island Technology

    A longer path will definitely increase the heat transfer since it provides more surface area. The trade off is that there is more air flow resistance with a longer path. The current length is able to provide more heat energy to the air than necessary, so a longer path is really not needed. You...

    Heat Island Technology

    There have been some questions as to how the new style log vaporizers operate. I am posting this in the vaporization discussion section since it is not model specific. There are multiple vaporizers that use this technology. The following diagram illustrates how this new technology works. It...

    The HI

    I did make a stem from an old ebony piano key. Giving old wood new life is a lot of fun. The place has an unfinished basement which should work very well. Need to finish getting the shop set up. I do have you on the list now ob. Will try to make it as quick as possible. Was watching the...

    RezBlock /Cranberry Extract

    I have been using RezBlock for a while now with great success. I spend much less time cleaning glass. Most of the use was is my DG mini but I recently tried some in my 9mm MIO beaker and have observed some interesting phenomenon. After one day of use, these little free floating pink balls...

    The HI

    I have successfully completed a move to Colorado. Everything is moved in, but now comes the fun of unpacking and getting everything set up. Moving seems tougher as you get older. Glad it is complete. Yoshi - Welcome to the HI thread. If the wood will hold threads, I can make a HI from it...

    A fuzzy old tale of hash oil making, from days of yore.

    I bought one back in 1978 and have it to this day. Still works very well. We couldn't find an official name on the documents so we called it an Isomizer. It performed a process of isomerization where you added sulfuric acid to the mixture prior to heating and then neutralized before filtration...

    The HI

    Ace.357 - Thanks. I did find a sweet place in CO. I just got back from a road trip. Now I just need to arrange a few things so I can get everything moved out there and get set up for production. GratefulVapor - Glad to hear your training is progressing nicely and you are enjoying the Turbo...

    Tobacco Master

    Was checking to see what the Godfather of vaporizers was doing these days. The Tobacco Master has a new name. The Viip III. Flashevap Looks like he is still keeping busy designing / creating vaporizers. Maybe I will get the chance to try one someday.

    Which vape has smallest trench/herb receptacle plus high temps?

    The stainless steel tip roasting tube that some log style vaporizers use is 1/4" inside diameter and can be loaded 1/4" to 3/8" full. This is a volume of between 1/5 cc to 1/3 cc. The log style vaporizers in which they can be used are all capable of temperatures up to 450F given the necessary...

    The HI

    I will be sure to check out Nederland Jam. Thanks. The style shown (without the roasting tube) on the first post is $140 with power supply. The plug end of the power supply is right angled. Only this style of power supply / plug end will work for this style of HI. The current style of HI has...

    The HI

    Deadhead101 - Send me an email and I will get you on the list. The unit without a power supply is $135. Exotic wood will be more depending upon its availability. Generally it will only be $10 more. I'm hoping the wait time will come down very soon but I still have lots of work to do. HoneyAir...

    The HI

    Welcome Qbit. Hope to hear from you and I can cut that wait time way down. ubw - Those are some fine looking wooden tubes. You are getting quite a collection. I must try olive wood sometime. So many beautiful woods are available/affordable in that smaller size.

    Discontinued Purple-Days Vaporizer

    You are welcome. Glad to hear the tubes arrived and you are having great success. You are the first person to try one of my stainless steel tips that has been modified for the PD/MZ/WZ. They are great for conservation. The silicone Turbo Tube should have much better air flow and also hold a bit...

    The HI

    BDV - Thanks for the video. The beast is always hungry and ready for more. Glad the HI can keep it fed. ubw - Those are great looking tubes. The wood turning bug is quite contagious. It feels very good to create it yourself. Are you going to use the 5/16" roasting tips or maybe some 7/16"...

    The HI

    BUZZHEAD - Thanks. I can't wait to be able to make you a special top. mom - Glad you like it. Sometimes you just have to make due with what you have. I accidentally sent a customer the wrong length 13mm glass roasting tips (1" rather than 1.25"). I was playing around with the glass tube to see...

    The HI

    You are correct mom. I need a chunk of wood 3" x 3" x 3.5" for a full size Toasty Top. I can install a Heat Island core and even do smaller size tops (w/ HI core). BUZZHEAD - I have had people send me wood to use for making a HI or TT. We can talk about it when the time comes. There are so...

    The HI

    I have made a few HI's from red cedar. It can have some really interesting coloration in the grain and the smell is very nice. I don't think that there will be any long term temperature affects. It is just more prone to dents and dings. I get my wood anyway that I can. Sometimes I cut blanks...
