My mistake, that is correct.

You could upgrade from the Vapcap-S but you would have to buy the tip. It's worth it to upgrade to the Ti tip and condenser system right from the start in my opinion. As long as you have the core parts you can swap them into any compatible body.

All of the stems in the picture I just posted are now available in my store! I should also mention that in the near future I'm going to be stocking Ti Vapcap tips, Caps and Standard Condensers for those wishing to purchase a completed unit.

Here's some more cap porn from today's work, (more in my thread). 18mm VonG Stem with Ebony sides and a laminated core. Awesome collection! That Wood Scents looks lovely.

YOU STOLE THE WORDS OUT OF MY HEAD. The whole time I was making it that joke was running through my head. :lol: Calm your VAS! :ko: You've got a collection going now.

All is well, today went much smoother. I wasn't able to remove the staining in the maple on the far left but otherwise I'm happy with all of these. They will be up in my shop soon.

Try breaking up the hash into smaller pieces or melting it into herb. It needs more surface area to effectively heat it up to vapourization temps.

Well, this update isn't what I expected it to be. I had a couple failures today. The first was a laminated stem that had a section of grain blow out on me, and the second was a piece of figured maple being stained by black ebony dust. I'll try again tomorrow and see if I can rescue a third piece...

Be sure to avoid getting the wood soaked with alcohol as it can strip the oils and finish out. Use bees wax if your wood ever looks dry.

I'd say about 2 vapcap bowls would be equal to a fully loaded Mighty. After the cool down click it would only be maybe 15 seconds before you can pluck it off with your fingers. Cool down is quick since the Ti is low density and the stainless cap is so thin. This depends on the body that you...

Fresh off the lathe, an 18mm steel core Walnut VonG. I'll have more pictures and info in my thread later today.

Some woods can be very pungent and full of aromatic compounds. Cocobolo, Walnut, Ebony, Red Cedar, Yellow Cedar, etc can smell quite strong. The smell will fade over time and the wood will darken as the compounds oxidize but it will never go away completely. It's the same deal as Cinnamon...

I find that my condenser free, steel core, test mule is smoother and cooler until the vapour starts to tickle my throat (which is due to the potency of the vapour not the temperature). I was having issues with the condenser tube focusing the hot vapour on my lip and burning it. The wide tube...

The reason for condensers are to protect the wood and give extra functionality to the carb. Without a condenser the wood would get soaked with condensed vapour, be a pain to clean and stink after a while. Since I line my stems with stainless steel you don't need a condenser tube to protect the wood.

That looks great! I'm glad it arrived quickly and safe. It was a real challenge to put together. I'm happy you like it. The feel of the rings under your fingers when holding it is the coolest part for me. Totally like a mini fret board in feel.

Hey guys I just finished up this batch of steel core stem blanks. If anyone is interested in a custom shape don't hesitate to message me. I'm in love with the blackwood, bronze and burl piece, it's something I always wanted to make since I started this.

Here's a batch of blanks that I just finished.

I thought I would show everyone the blanks that I have ready for turning. Now is your chance to say if you would like a custom shape turned from any of these. These are all 62mm stems, I will have a batch of 45mm bodies out later next week.

Eh? that was an accidental release? No one told me, I didn't even notice anything was changed.

There would be additional thermal mass in the air path, so it makes sense that there's more vapour I think? Edit: If we think of the tip and cap like a potential thermal energy source, it's effectively making it a bigger source but not necessarily hotter. Perhaps the cap and tip can be tweaked...
