Welcome to Zapville, thefunkygiant. Thanks for letting us know you are there and enjoying your CRZ. AG, in the shed! Would that be the doghouse? I have heard that from you before and do wonder about such a fix. Good move trying to get someone off smoke. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not...

VaporBoxed First, do you have a drill press? You will need one and a throw-away 1 inch forstner bit to re-drill the top hole. The wood hole shrinks in diameter as soon as they heat up. That top plate is almost impossible to get out without reaming the hole back to 1". What is wrong with your MZ...

chib, interesting post about stem pulls, heater wiggling and all. Sure would be nice if you would also contact me about what is going on. If the heater(I assume you mean the SS heatport?) is wiggling around it should not work at all. Something has obviously come loose with the dropping or...

Nyc, yer so funny! I loved that "are you serious" line to IAmKrazy. Happy Birthday! Your comments are right on........slow and easy, vapor air path is all SS, completely enclosed in SS. Same with insulation around the middle portion and the top and bottom insulators. They are separated from the...

Good to see you around lwein. There have been many changes in the log vape world over the last several months. New manufacturers and everybody does SS now. Gunky is right on. SS expands considerably, related to other metals, with heat. Our core is welded together and is a solid SS mass. We leave...

IAmKrazy2 Your description of past events is close enough but your calling me Rik brings back specific fond memories. You use that spelling because of your Dad as I recall? It is the Norwegian spelling of the name. When you first started doing it, I objected...."my name is spelled Rick!". You...

That "couple small BBs' rolling around in the bottom could be pieces if the tubular glass beads we use to insulate one heater wire that may have partially broke with the excessive heat and dropping. Nothing about the Zap likes 13.5 volt transformers. They still function at 13.5 and seem to be...

Someone else will have to answer that. I have never seen or touched a PD.

OKcomputer, I think you will want the brass tips. I believe our SS tips are a bit too tight to fit the PD heatport tube. Maybe someone can confirm that?

Steady Eddy, now that is a good one. My dads name was Ed. You brought back some fond memories mom. Yes, warranties do matter folks. Most of us stand behind our products and I know Tom did. I do think what happened in PD land was an exception to the norm around here in so many ways. First off...

Magic9, I would guess maybe 5%, possibly more but not much. This is still 12 volts. The difference to me is more of a 'yes' thing rather than a quantitative difference. Very hard to put into words. Lets get a few out there and get some objective feedback. I will say another vape maker did get...

chib Are you sure it is not the heater tinging against the center tube? The only support for that heater is the two wires holding it in the tube. One wire goes along the side of the heater and against the tube. Shaking will produce a slight noise that may sound like metal on metal. Hard to hear...

kewpcer, I would love to take a look at your CRZ that has been roasted on 13.5 for an extended period. I would really like to see the wood and why it is rattling. Looks like we are finding a definite line not to cross. I am sure I can find another piece of wood that will take your internals. I...

uhhhhhh, here we go again..........a change.....what do you do when you slip and discover something may work better after ten years of doing it the same old way? We have been through that many times this year after many years of treading water. I did read somewhere long ago a comment related to...

Thanks for the comments Max. The unit you picked was a bit larger than we are doing now. They are running 4 1/4" on the taller ones and down to 3 3/4" with diameter at 2"+. We will have some 3 1/2 and under soon. I put a 'mini' heatport in a little 'shroom piece yesterday and still have almost a...

My guess on temp is also in the same range as NYC, maybe 385 on some, maybe 375+ on a few. To actually test the temp of vaping air would be so difficult because of all the variables like voltage supplied in the electric grid, ambient air temp, type of wood used, ohm spec of the heater but in my...

Thanks to all for the fine conversation going on here. Looks like most questions are getting answered. These are very efficent little exractors. Now that is what I should say every time some supplier asks "what do you make anyway?"....."An extractor, actually a wooden extractor" They would...

My goodness! so many words from so many people Zapping this thread. Hard for me to figure out where to start. Ya, sure Rick. Tree, yes, as a matter of fact I picked out a special log yesterday. A special yule log. Thanks for the time slot. Jesus.... thanks for the inquiries on the Zap and...

Stella, welcome to Zapville. How lucky you are to experience Vito in person! he is a good teacher in many areas and is a supporter of several different vapes. That Black Locust is very special wood if you look at the grain closely. Thank you for coming on our thread. steiner, thanks for that...

THCMuscle, thanks so much for the review of your sweet Redwood CRZ. Sorry we did not have a redwood stem to match. You learned the main trick right away. Do not pull hard. Pull slow and easy. It is like trying to force water through a kinked hose by turning up the faucet, it will not work. Turn...
