That’s odd. I’d love to know what the cause of it is if you ever find out. As well built as these devices are I’ve always felt that the buttons felt a bit flimsy and sort of mushy to press. Definitely a weak point in an otherwise well built device

This happens to me occasionally. I go to change preset and nothing happens. I can’t tell if it’s grit that’s gotten under there shifting about or I’m just pressing it at an angle that doesn’t hit the actual button under the plastic. If I make a conscious effort to press straight down on it...

I’ve been combusting since 2012, then vaping since 2021. I was quite lucky to hit the right device first time with the dynavap 2021M - the ritual, the flame, the tastes and effects of the conduction vapour, and the joint like form factor made it a pretty seamless transition. As long as I have...

Thanks for the recommendation, I appreciate it :) I love that guy, bought loads of Vestratto stuff off him in the past and got him to do me a custom walnut revolve stem which came out great. Gave me a load of cat stickers with one of my orders too, probably enjoyed those more than the order...

Vapman all paid up and on its way! Very excited to be an owner of a Swiss walnut again. Now to try and find the walnut vapcase in the UK, I’ve never had one before and they look awesome

I get what you were saying. Perhaps a better way to phrase it would be like going to the bike shop and buying a replacement inner tube which you install yourself, versus paying that same shop parts and labour to replace it for you. I like paying for convenience personally, I am one lazy...

I’ve used all of these. Compared to a stock dynavap it’s a huge upgrade in terms of flavour, power and just being more forgiving when heating. Much better heat retention too. Compared to an FMJ’d or AC’d dynavap, it’s still an upgrade on all fronts but I’d argue not a £120 sized upgrade on...

Yeah there’s likely more heat in the battery relative to the oven if you do the “traditional” style of RTL and heat the battery until the click. Thermal mass is probably a bit higher in the oven thinking about it now, you’re right. The notable difference relative to the tornado is that you’re...

@eyevape That makes sense actually, most of the thermal mass was in the battery on the anvil which then replenished the heat in the walls. It was clever but I found the thermal lag could sometimes work against you. I suspect the way the tornado distributes its mass is a lot better in this...

I’ve actually noticed this on a few vids but didn’t know if it was a quirk of the device or individual heating technique that still needed developing. That’s interesting though if the gradient has changed from top to bottom to now being outside to inside. Says to me that the way the heat is...

The only thing I ever noticed with the anvil AVB wise was a very slight difference in colour from the top of the bowl to the bottom. The bottom would always be a little darker on both regular and XL bowls. John actually wrote about this gradient in the early days after noticing it himself. I...

I agree that a vapman book would be awesome, especially if it includes information or photos from back in the early days that aren’t already known. I love going back on this thread and reading old posts from Rene and also ones from the new owners. The book could detail both “eras” of vapman and...

“If you’re listening we need draw. Any draw will do. Weed, hash, shit holiday draw” People just do nothing for those who don’t get the reference. Very funny show!

Generally speaking you’ll know if a wood doesn’t agree with you pretty early on, you’ll get a reaction. If you haven’t had one yet I’d say you’re probably fine. Additionally, the wood tends to “sweat out” a lot of the irritant stuff with repeated heat cycles. I had a walnut stem which gave off...

I think Rene makes these exotic wood ones as more of an art piece than something to vape with. Most people seem to have the exotics for show and then vape with something more suitable like walnut or pear. My rule of thumb has always been to only vape with wood from fruit trees and it’s yet to...

Agree with this. There’s nothing wrong with the newer ones, and quite a lot “better” in fact. For a lot of people the newer ones are a better choice purely for that easy clean vapour path, let alone the other additions. I simply find that the Swiss have a certain charm and character to them...

Got in contact with Rene, I think I’ll be rejoining the vapman family before long! Swiss walnut vapman availability confirmed and now in the process of saving a few weeks wage for it :) It’s really cheap going direct to Rene as well, I had no idea you could do that. It’s like half the price...

I think it’s the airflow as much as the temp which decides how dark the roast is. If I pack a light bowl and a tight bowl and both run at 220c the tight bowl will be darker every time. The vapour is also noticeably hotter If I detect a bit of airflow restriction and it’s not too significant to...

Super coarse grind or bits of nugs definitely helps keep things easier on the throat and chest. You want to keep that airflow as open as you can. I’d also try to mix up your use with another device or some glassware as well. The S3 is incredibly testing on the throat if you’re only doing native...
