    We are looking for some black wire of the proper gauge for the VV power cord. It is not easy to find but we have made a connection. More info on that one next week. I am getting the consensus that black is preferred by most for the VV power cord. For the interim we will continue to use the white...

    As max said, a dual output power cord would supply the same voltage to both output plugs. We will be sticking with the single output power supplies. They do make a dual output PS that is commonly used in the Tattoo business but they are "either, or" outputs. You can use one or the other but not...

    placetime, that number is right in the ballpark. The heavier duty Spartan retails for $40 without shipping. We will sell one with a custom power cord, shipping included for $55-60. That number will be very close to what can be done without coming through us but we will also double check each...

    Will, it seems a package for you came in on one of the Zap trains from The Master Flow yesterday. I'll try to keep it moving today. And back to more VV news. New projects require attention and sometimes a tweak here or there to get the flow right. It was time to order my second batch of VVs...

    I find the main cause of restricted airflow for me is getting to the bottom of a pile or around the edges of the pile where the herb grind is finer that desirable. Then just a bit of an overload in the tip because that finer grind sucks in easier. WTF is going on?????? Heated air cannot get...

    .......stems getting slowly clogged? The VV PS should have no effect on the draw.

    Well shit! Six hours has passed so I will have to start another post rather than edit my last which I intended to do. Damn new rules! Another fun day in the shop. This time scrounging through some semi completed blocks I had put in the "seconds" bin during the regular turning process with CRZs...

    Stealth, I have a different vision for the VV Power supply use with a Zap. I do see the VV as a throttle control or heat control, yes, but it helps to put your mind and actions into the Zap Train. The Zap and VV linked together are like a train. It takes at least 15 minutes for the Zap to...

    Herbie, thanks for all the comments on your Abysmal special order. Our apologies for the lack of instructions with the VV. We just plain missed on that one as instructions included are automatic for the VV. I will Email a copy of them to you. Our wire for the power plug is a little heavy for 18...

    Panic, sorry to hear that but very happy it did not come from us. We do run them for a decent period to insure they hold the voltage before shipping. So far I have found 2 out of the first batch of 25 that did exactly what you describe. That seems to be the SOP of a bad unit and they do it...

    Quinlin, that Maple CRZ you have is very special in that it was from one chunk of Maple, or, to put another way, we only got one Zap from that piece of wood. This forum is family and each thread has a 'main' family. Tribes and sub tribes. The mods do need to spank a little over a double...

    Good Lord, TheDude, TWICE!? And you tell us all! You must be getting some decent vapor. I have those things around everywhere and have not knocked one off anything yet. Plus I am old and getting eye/hand discoordinated(clumsy). You are lucky it is still working in my book. Vito, we've got some...

    Looks like we have a wempty ebsite again. What did I say? I'll get on the other ball today with some new beauties up by tonight or early AM tomorrow. Maybe even a refurbished 10 year old blue pine. "Another one bit the dust" last night. That would be Jasper, our biggest Malamute. He was so...

    TheDude, are you on the correct TYPE of voltage with the meter? We are testing DC(direct current) volts from the VV. The wall socket is AC(alternating current). There are AC and DC settings on every meter I have seen. 125 volts is not out of line for a wall socket. On the high end but OK. I'll...

    TheDude, it is the volt/ohm meter off or something like that. Every VV we send out has been run for at least 24 hours to insure the voltage stays constant. I do not test all of them for voltage accuracy but the ones we did test are one tenth to a half volt off, always with actual voltage less...

    kewpcer, that was beautiful. My culture and tribe is different than many but we are all part of the same Big Tribe. Thanks for pointing out what you did. More understanding for the old man. Vito, thanks for showing us some of the many Zaps that have passed through your hands along with some you...

    You are home mom? For some reason I had you due in tomorrow in my feeble brain. No place like home, that's for sure. It is good to 'see' you around again. We had a great day doing one of those Mothers Day brunches with EVERYTHING imaginable. We met our youngest son, wife and almost two year...

    HA HA HA. That was a good one. Yea, not much going on in Zapville these days. I do believe the product size is close to the same on all of them, about 4" tall and 2" in diameter.

    I'll stand behind the 14. 2 volts, even up to 14.5 for the Zap if done intermittently. Couple reasons for this. First, we have been giving them 13.5 to 13.8 volts for over ten years with an unregulated 12 volt wall transformer. Another half volt or a little more than 1/2 volt will not harm the...

    TheDude, thanks for the comments about our VV PS. I did try to keep the price down while still making a few bucks. It is always a battle, with me anyway, pricing smaller items and items I buy for re-sale. The book says mark it up X amount to stay in business. We never quite get to X but do stay...
