Oh my Goodness! Am I ever getting behind on responses here at FC and on the Zap order line. We do appreciate the support which certainly did amp up this last week more than we have every experienced except one time many years ago when a well known forum member(OG) showed a pic of his Zap in his...

Latest update, then a question or two answered. I am in the shop now, it is 4:30 PM. To get anything out by tomorrow, I would have to work at least a couple more hours. NOT. No Zaps out til Monday at the earliest. Too late getting home from the big day in Spokane. Time for SSS vapor and some...

steiners is one of those Snowflake Cherrys. I have a few blocks left. Something happened during the log drying process as the original logs we cut up did not have the white spots. Then we did some that had been in the log pile for almost two years and that is what we got. Good to hear the vapor...

SirElton and all The Aromatherapy function of Aromazap has improved with the new SSS heatport. The top protruding 'tube' which is now a machined and bored piece of 1/2" round SS stock, provides much more surface area and heat to the Aroma Flower. We offer the traditional hand crafted Aroma...

ob, NYC is right on regarding wood densities. Cherry and walnut are very similar density and always seem to jump to the warm side in short order. Much of the Myrtle we have had in the past was also similar density to cherry and walnut. That was the 40+ years stored inside stuff that is ALL gone...

Vitolo, your creations are amazing. We find it hard to express our appreciation through words. Maybe we will figure out another way soon. You got me on that fog reply to NYC. You betcha, those be special grade goggles with little wipers you cannot see that wipe away the constant fog from the new...

Thanks for that HighSti. We appreciate your confidence in us AND sharing it on FC. steiners Zap with the first SSS heatport is now in the hands of the USPS and should be there Thursday if the mail is on time. We did make one more change after proto#3 which he is getting. We tweaked the center...

mom Just to clarify, I said "I am beginning to dream about the folks out of the US". That is a long ways from doing it, even though that goal is a bit closer with the new design and connections. First things first, one step at a time the turtle way. I have to get the website cleaned up and get...

steiners Cherry outta here tomorrow for an expected Thursday arrival. It's a ripper, just like it was spozed to be. A call first thing in the morning to Rick the machinist for 20 SSS heatports for a starter that will be here by weeks end. Website changes tomorrow. Now for a late night space out.

steiner666 Zaplady is soldering your Zap as I type. Sweet changes in proto #3. A bit more mass and 4 holes in the top(and bottom) rather than the 6 shown in the pic a few pages back on this thread. Both changes to perk up the heat just a bit more although Proto#2 rips as is. Top hole for stem...

Third and expected final prototype in my hands now. I will be putting it in Steiner666's Cherry Zap today and testing tonight. If all goes as planned, I can have it is his hands by weeks end. If this slight mod does as expected, it is a go and I can have plenty more before the weekend. Assuming...

ob Thanks for the kind words. We do not do perfect though. We are never perfect in what we do or say or make. Perfect is a word, for me anyway, that cannot be defined in this life. As for reality, our new SS Heatport will be a great improvement over the old design in our opinion. One big reason...

So glad to see the stem tip question come up so quickly. For now, we are staying with the RoHS lead free brass tips that have always been used in the Zap. There are several reasons but the main ones are time and money. We want to keep our final price for a Zap very close to what it is now. If we...

OK, over with the suspense. I suppose if I were smarter(in some way), I would just let this ride for awhile to keep us 'up there' with the stars. I have already let this go long enough. It is fun to see all the comments and guesses and Vitolos gizmo actually gives me an intro. We are still...

Ed is not involved in any way. We expect our wood turning/boring procedures will not change.

Steiner666 You are not way off or too vague. I knew some would zero right in on this............... But..........."redesigned" has many, many forks in the road........... The fork we took was not planned but from the Universe. Connections that allowed us to try something different. Without the...

hello Family! Sorry for being away for so long. Lots of things going on in Zapville and at Howling Hills Farm. We sell a few special items to the Chefs at the CDA Resort and Beverlys Restaurant at the top of the Resort. http://www.cdaresort.com/ Sales are picking up every week and the necessary...

Seat both(or three ) at the same time. The pipe I am talking about is the center tube in the heatport that you put the vapor stem in for hot air. Never tap on that(center tube) in any way. Bushing is usually something round with a big hole in the center. A piece of pipe can be a bushing. A deep...

ob The bushing use for tightening the top ring works the best for any amount of rings(I have done up to four rings). You will recall I warned you about the softness of the mahoe. Softer wood will run hotter vape air but also has a shorter lifespan with the heat. That is why we did not officially...

ob My apologies for not answering your specific question on tightening the top ring on the Zap. No excuses for missing that one. Your job is to re-seat the top ring so it presses tight against the top plate. With the ring tight, the center portion of the heatport(aka heat exchanger)will be tight...
