sublime, that is one sweet little Zap you have there. Lots to look at in the grain patterns. You might know mom would recommend applying the polish to your wood by hand! Actually that is a super recommendation and that is also the way I do it. You can work the ZaPolish(more accurately described...

very sketch? This old dude does not get it. I did explain what the wire was used for in the old design. I am also happy we make a product now that is much better than the old traditional log vape. Smoking, we still only take Paypal for credit card purposes. We also take a check or Money Order...

SmokingElectricity That must be an old brass Zap with a loose heatport. The wire was used as a shim to keep the copper liner tight in the wood. It serves no function other than keeping the innards tighter. At this point it will not do much good to put it back if it fell out as it will do the...

Vapemeister Look again at the group shot, top view. You will see the four small holes for air intake in that shot. The four air inlet holes are in the top of EVERY CRZ, around the center 'tower' with the hole for the vapor stem. The insulating blanket around the middle of the heatport is in a...

Magic9 Haven't heard from you in awhile. I'll send you a plug kit to make the job even easier than I described in the past as I recall. Plug the green plug that comes with the kit into the Zap(no wire hooked to the green plug) and measure across the two terminals on the plug with the ohmmeter...

Vapemeister, I will try again. That's part of my job and lots of us assume all the noobs will just figure it out with a few words. I think one problem may be that the pic of the heatport, purple background, page 288 I believe, is of 2 completed heatports(without wings). One is disassembled and...

Vapemeister You should look a bit closer and read the words. I am not going to try to re-explain the heatport thing but your last post has it wrong on grooves, weight, etc. Our heatports are made by a separate company that specializes in SS fabrication, that is correct. As far as I know, they...

mom is correct on the heatports. The 'old' solid SS heatport is the same as the new one internally. The newest version, designed to insulate the SS from the wood above, below and in the middle(and used in all CRZs) simply has a top and bottom washer added for centering the heatport in the wood...

That is a 1" INTERNAL retaining ring. Be sure you specify internal as external retaining ring will not work. I buy Jameco 12 volt transformers 100 at a time, their best price. By the time I pay the shipping to get them here, they are $8. It costs a minimum of $5 for me to ship. There is $13...

Vapemeister 'Unfortunately' is an interesting word to use for not seeing every part of the CRZ innards. From our point of view it is fortunate. We have no need or desire to show all our cards with the re-designed Aromazap. The other components are just SS raw materials, machined to fit each...

Vapemeister We use an insulating wrap, rated at 1500F, around the center portion of the central SS assembly. The insulation is in an enclosed chamber, completely isolated from the vapor airflow. Here is a shot of some units ready to assemble showing the heatports with the wings that seal the...

hey Reese, I've been to the front end(AZ.com) and in the back end several times yesterday and today. Everything seems to be working fine. Have you got some kind of filter at your end that may be blocking it? A few more Zaps out today that were ordered late in the week is the plan for an expected...

I still like dry as a bone. I get lots of flavor and very good vapor production. Definitely dryer than what folks like for combustion. Zaplady likes hers a little moister. Whatever works best for you as it is a preference thing not a rule thing. I'll bounce around here for a bit. There is no...

Lots of questions about turning, Zaps, getting old. I thought the hand job with 400 grit sandpaper might get a question but........... As for the finish, a quote from my post announcing the change........"These are finished with ZaPolish only and buffed on the lathe so the shine is not yet as...

.."...as well i am vastly approaching 40" I love it! Wait til you get to try vastly approaching 70! Right on NYC! We already have the special wood turning room planned and in progress for super sawdust and chip removal. That will keep the rest of my shop relatively dust free. I got spoiled over...

Yes, life is the book of changes. The chips are fly'n again at Zapville. Our wood turning teacher/mentor has decided to pursue other interests so I will be doing all the turning from now on. Some of you may remember that as the CRZ developed, we had a second person doing the turning initially...

beach bum, glad your order arrived Saturday. It must be time for some USPS praise. The orders shipped on the day yours shipped, Thursday, were taken out between snow plowings in our sons 4 wheel drive Jeep. Had to go that way as the one mile trek to the mailbox was impossible without all 4...

Vito is right on. The only thing different with the smaller heatports is a slightly shorter outer sleeve. The center core is exactly the same. The assembly is shorter with the same innards. We are trying some with the smaller Redwood units and on very low density woods. Cannot tell any...

Some bad news and some good news. Bad news is the snow has not stopped. We are in the middle of a Pacific Northwest big one. Plowing twice a day to stay open to the world. The good news is some smaller brass stem orders left today. Many more should go out tomorrow as I have been holding any...

I have your address, jesus. No problem. But, I just sent this notice to a stem customer. This applies to ALL orders outstanding. We have to flow with Mother when She does her thing. Looks like we did a good thing getting the mill back yesterday. We would not even be able to move it today and it...
