Here are the pics of the new Eggs. I don't know which one I like most... :hmm:

To attach or fix a loose air tube, you need a special flanging tool that René made himself. You hit the tool lightly with a small hammer and this makes the end flange out and grab onto the crucible. It's a pretty delicate operation and the tubes are tiny. I tried to come up with a home-made...

Ok, I got good news from René (The vapman): First, the stations shipped today! Woohoo! He's been working non-stop to get these out on time. Second -- 2 new egg cases are in production and will be available in 3 months: Black and Frosted Clear. We'll get pictures of them tomorrow. The...

If you like using your vapes, you're really going to like the ritual of the vapman. :)

Yes. I emailed René about this and he may work on that after he's done with the Stations. He also has the Ebony Vapmans and his usual work on his plate. Maybe some nice wood 14 & 18 mm connectors and some long Mouthpieces would be cool.

Cool. Thanks!

You da man OF. Thanks! How do they ship this 6 foot length of tube? It's not flexible, right?

OF, where do you buy the tube from? Thanks!

René made a bunch of tools and jigs himself. At 1:40 you can see a casing/jig for drilling all the holes... At 2:10 he is adding the air tubes to the bowl with another tool he had to make... At 3:40 you see the case/jig he uses to insert the locking pins... This is awesome precision. Which is...

Oak is too hard. I can't get the top part around the hole as smooth as I would like. I wouldn't use oak again, but that's what I found at the local hardware store. :( @Melting Pot, that's a good idea. I'll hit up @Ed's TnT and see if he's interested. I know he make a real nice one piece...

That sounds good. I was waiting for the one Ed's TnT is working on. He's the master. Lets see. :) Edit: I'll post a pic with the Vapman in a few minutes. It looks kinda funny is you ask me. I'd like to come with some shape that compliments the curves of the vapman body much better...

Awesome. Thanks!

I thought about that too: use the original holes for the screen screws if they were crooked - I don't have a drill press and mine were a bit crooked, but good enough that they work. Using the pin straight through would be easier. That's a great idea. What did you use for the pin? Thanks!

These compliments coming from @OF and you Ed make my day! It'll be hard to wipe off the grin off my face for the next couple of days. :D But the mouthpiires done by @simpleasthcis, @bounce5 and the rest of the guys (which were the inspiration) are very, very good! Hats off to them. I'll let...

I have agree with OF here. I was looking at both the Lotus and the Vapman way back when and the tipping point to me was that I didn't have to heat while I was drawing. That was counterintuitive to me. But I've never tried the Lotus, so I can't compare it at all. After I got the ritual down, it...

OK, here's my attempt at a DIY mouthpiece from an oak dowel - charred, of course. Not as nice as anything from @Ed's TnT, but not too shabby either. I haven't drilled air holes on it yet, because I think I may not need them. Thanks to all for the inspiration. I have another thing I want to...

Why did you do that Chip? How am I going to sleep till then? Haha

@Vapormatic, That's awesome. I love it. @Nugg, @NorVape I once made a bamboo pipe with two pieces of bamboo -- one thin for a long stem/mouthpiece and a short and thicker one for the bowl. It looked really nice and worked well. Pretty sure one could make one for the vapman, maybe with just one...

So OF, you're saying you're like a Rainman? ;) How to remember what you have forgotten? If you forgot it, how do you know to look for it? haha My memory is so bad that sometimes I would teach myself a song on guitar and when I thought "Wow, I really figured this one out so quickly!" I soon...

These stems are awesome guys! @simpleasthcis carvings skills are awesome and @bounce5, I love the bark on your stem. What's the difference between the stock and your new mouthpiece? Cooler vapor? Anything else? Great job guys!
