NYC, so glad your cherry arrived before heading out. My apologies for missing a Saturday delivery as I had promised. Too much going on besides Zap work these days. It is all Zapwork but some of it is planning and ordering tools and supplies and back and forth with the machine shop. We are still...

smartrott you are correct. The one I am using now is the bottom install with two extra ceramic insulators, top and bottom. The original install gives similar results. My guess is the extra insulators would win out in a scientific test. kewpcer You did good,very good. Unreal stuff under all that...

Nice review Vito. Thanks for being so thorough. Nothing like going from unit to unit with the same stem to determine who pulls the most. That old wood is the perfect density for a wood insulated Zap. I have been using the latest RockZap with the bottom install, post 4983, far right and shown in...

Damn Ed, that time stuff sure is hard to find, eh? When you do find it the list of stuff to fill the time takes so long to read, we lose more time! Kinda fun though, making pretty stuff out of wood folks get to USE every day. Those tubes you make are all beautiful, some beyond words. Alan, you...

RumbleShorts You got it. I have another handful or so of the regular SSS on wood installs to finish tomorrow then I will start the RockZap1 for another handful of you that opted to go with the concrete cup liner and another old customer who will get a Myrtle Burl SSS Rockzap1 and has been...

I could hold the concrete liner in my hand with the heater on but like a hot potato. It had to be set in something to hold it upright as I could not hold it for more than a few seconds. It was way cooler than the SSSport alone to hold for sure. The ceramic at the top protects the top lip of the...

guardian We are running a bit longer than 0ne week from order to ship. That would put yours shipping at the end of next week at the earliest. We still have a decent line ahead of any order made. Lots of new action going on here at FC in the log vape area. We are very glad to see it and are also...

al bundy We are exploring installing the concrete lined heatport assembly from the bottom. That installation technique could happen in the near future but for now we will have 'RockZap1" which is the method you see in Zapladys newest, post 4961. The SS trim washer does finish the top out nicely...

lwein Army reserves, stayed in the States, only activated for riots. Guardian You are good for the extra stem for FC. You are also good for one of our custom flowers. Zaplady just told me. Speaking of Zaplady, here is her new SSSRockZap. Supposed to be Queens wood but we cannot find anything on...

My turn. SirElton My apologies for addressing you in the past leaving out the 'Sir'. I will not do that again. I think it is cool that you are who you are and requested the Sir. Good for you. I am 65 and I say Sir all the time, just like 'yes mam' all the time. It is a tradition with many of us...

A few Zaps out yesterday and a few today and some more tomorrow. The ones that shipped yesterday I spaced the shipping notices til today. They are all out now(notices). Sorry about that.

Bio, tell me you will take a Ricks choice and I'll blow you out of PA with something special. Gonna be a fun day spinnin' tomorrow.

Holy sheeet. Gotta go get a glass of gin before I start. First, I love lwein around our thread. He keeps all of us on our toes. 'Devils Advocate' or not, he asks the kind of questions a serious business person will want to hear. In todays world of internet commerce, you had better be able to...

Just talked to our machinist and washer suppliers. Coupla calls back and forth for the exact specs. We have 400 SS washers coming that will be an exact fit for the inside of our outer SS sleeve. They will be tack welded in place at the very bottom of the sleeve before the final electro polish...

Vito, I hate to say it but you are wrong this time. The vapor airpath flows as Vaporeyesore stated and does go past the quarter sized bottom part of the concrete cup, then back up through the center hole of the heatport and around the ceramic heater where it is heated to the final heat stage...

Holy Sheeeet TV! You are just loaded with neat ideas! The irony of that one is the Eterra, which inspired Aromazap was originally made to vaporize tobacco if I am correct in my often incorrect memory. Speaking of such things, I realized today I am coming full circle on Zaps. Ten years ago to the...

bio, I have not shipped yours yet. I was going to finish it today but will put it on hold for the rock. It will be a few extra days because I need to pour more cups. Before that happens I have to get over to Spokane to get the mold and the tutorial. Rumble, let me know via Email about your...

Hi noon here. Time to end the confusion. I got here with comments on the forum, turning a few logs out and a good quiet break. We will continue with the standard SSS in wood install for the immediate future. I have too much in the way of fabrication techniques to work out with the concrete lined...

stinkbud, nice looking Zap. I'm sure everyone was also trying to peek at the top as it gives an entirely different 'feel' to the zap. Yes, the cup rests on the top as always. There is more SS surface area and mass that it rests on. We have found they run hotter than the old version. The handmade...

Thanks to all regarding comments on our SSS heatport. I am at a big crossroad here this Monday morning. I am ready to get a good early start on a very busy day. I want something before I get too carried away in one direction or another. I want to hear some feedback on the SSS heatport installed...
