We put the cooler to work Friday, big time. We had moved some veges, eggs, beer and other stuff once we got it all settled to a constant 36-38F early last week. The window box is just cruising now, compressor on just a few minutes and off three times longer each cycle so the cooler is ready for...

Popped open my last slab of 'old wood' Myrtlewood yesterday(stored 40 years at least). This was the lighter of the two slabs but has lots of darker shades and very unique grain swirls throughout. These are the first two blocks turned from the same stick, or 'slice' of the slab. We should get...

Sounds like you are ready for a new longer lasting hardwood Zap edame. I was actually very surprised that you concluded the adapter was bad. I assume the plug going into the Zap is new and came wired to your new transformer? Seven years still is not bad. Email me regarding a replacement Zap if...

edame The heatport has no wires attached to it. The electric heater rests in the center of the heatport tube so some rotation of the heatport will not affect the wiring. Wow. 2003, still going and the no heat problem was still a bad transformer! I'd say that is hard to beat. Simple design, no...

Beer is nice and cold as is the V-8 and the eggs and the peppers and the corn and other stuff. Just checked it again this morning. OOPS! 35/36 in there. Getting a bit colder as the room is all stabilized at the below 40 temp now. Also a colder night, down to 40. No ice on the coils as we are...

Just wanted to pass some info around we learned this last couple weeks. We have had a so so plan for a walk in cooler on the place for awhile now. Very handy for the farm and also we have decided to process our own meat since we grow lots of it. We have always gone to the local guy who...

edame So nice to hear from an old customer from way back. 2003 was another world for most of us. I know it sure was for us. Believe it or not, I recommend checking your transformer. Actually, just as always for the log vapes, the transformer wire right next to the plug that goes into the Zap...

The above Zap is leaning left a tad which is much better than leaning right we think. She leans because of our continued insistence on some level of imperfection in our work here in Zapville. She also sits on the top of our PC which has a slightly curved top surface.

bioret got ahold of us already and is covered. Our official rule says we do not warranty the transformers, but we like to break the rules sometimes. Our warranty is officially one year and has been for many months. One happy camper out there on Thursday. Just sent this combo out with a Tooty...

bioret You either have a bad transformer, probably with a broken wire or we had a bad solder joint internally in the Zap. As mom said, you can check if it is the transformer by trying the Zap in a car with the car adapter cord(car running). If your Zap heats up with the car cord, the 12 volt...

mudstar We have always had a screen in the heatport tube to keep crumbs and excess debris out of the air heating chamber. The original Eterra also had the heatport screen and we thought it was and is a very good idea. The screen will stop most stuff from dropping into the heatport but not...

Neverender Thanks for all the good words about Zaps. The log vape design is incredibly efficient and stealthy as you point out. Simple use to make good vapor. Glad you are happy with your choice. Nice glass B. That stuff is all cool but not for the clumsy simple folks at Zapville. I surely would...

ob absolutely totally legal to send them through the mail. Use priority mail as you can do those labels online with delivery confirmation. Everything we ship almost every day is legal to do so. The only problem would be after a vapor stem is used, then the stem is suspect. The base unit is still...

It's all the wood and the re-designed heatport and the glass. Shit, a lot of change in a relatively short period of time. This all a bigger deal than usual because we stagnated for so long. Same old product that was hard to buy with no storefront or shopping cart. Limping along but still fine...

vcasal2 Offer still good and we have other wood now you may want to try. Email me for our address if you don't have it. You need a Zap that runs right on 12 volts. Live and learn here in Zapvillle about knots. Some are just fine but others have knots that are not.

Constant on and off will expand/contract the wood more than leaving it on 24/7. As for the longevity issue, lwein may have a point but the only way to 'prove' it would be to have two identical units side by side, same use except one gets turned off and one stays on. Then follow them for several...

You bet there is charring going on deep in the heatport hole under the top plate. Cannot really avoid that since we have a heater in wood. It is a delicate balance going on between a softer wood that allows log vapes to vape close to the top of the vapor spectrum and a hardwood that will resist...

I've got the Walnut Zap up on the website now. I turned three different blocks from three different pieces of walnut(two of them shown above). Yesterday I assembled them and today hit all three with the real test. Excellent vapor from all three with our standard 12 volt transformer. The vapor is...

Ed Use two 1/4" round tools for inserting the screen and clip. I chopped off a couple pieces off a long 1/4 inch drill bit and they work fine. Tape one end of each for a handle(or slip some tubing over the end). Mount the tip on one of the rods, the crimp will stop it from sliding. Then push the...

I totally agree reece. I like your dilemma. OK, these are only rough turned and rough sanded. No hand job and a very tiny amount of ZaPolish, spin shined on the lathe with my calloused old hands. I'll put a new product up soon. Hang in there and once again, sorry for the totally amateur product...
