mudstar and all I am looking at a very ripply walnut right now with gray and red and all kinds of stuff. Pronounced ripples on 3/4 of the face. I turned two walnuts yesterday and was quickly reminded of why I did not like the first walnut blocks I did. The stuff is dirty compared to Myrtle. OMG...

Please no hot soldering iron tips in any Zap heatport. Our center tube, spacer bushing and top plate are all soldered together so I would not recommend stinks quick heatup method for Zaps. PD/WDZ attach the top plate without soldering so that should not be a problem. We always have Zaps on so...

mudstar mom has it right on the basic vapor kit. We will also substitute a no frills plain cup if you want the full kit. Email me if interested. So I go see the new wood guy today. What a story! He has a patent on some sort of boat accessory that has been their bread and butter for many years...

Our policy of only shipping to US addresses is a survival policy. We did many global shipments in the 'old' days but our business started to grow too much. We could not keep up and also keep our sanity and a reasonable life. So we stopped global sales and any wholesale sales. That slowed us alot...

Reece The etal you refer to was intended to apply to the rest of hemp;s screen name, not any other poster here. I also appreciate your input and questions hemp; and your way of communication. It adds to the diversity of this thread and you ARE communicating which is what it is all about...

duckdown We only ship the AZ/MZ/CZ to US addresses. Been that way for several years. hemp; et al I am having a tough time following what you are saying. Not sure if you have ordered or will order or what. The Cherry is a separate product on the Zap page. Primo Deluxe is an option on the...

Reese asked a question a while back that I intended to answer but spaced. He asked if all the Cherry wood was similar to the pic I put up of the first two we turned. After doing several more the answer is yes to that one. When I start with a block it looks plan enough, any block actually. Once...

The thing with charts and woods and such is the charts give us a range only. Those exact density numbers are misleading. In all woods I have worked so far, especially Myrtle, the density will vary from piece to piece. Not alot but it is noticeable to me when I work the wood. Cherry shows more...

lolwaut Got her fixed. I knew that question would come up soon but spaced adding the option. I have added the Primo Deluxe option to the CherryZap product. Same price as the Myrtle Primo. And then he eats his words. Another score from the Master Flow. We picked up some Metal roofing...

Some not so good news from Zapville. I goofed up good by thinking I had another 25 heaters in stock but they were already gone. This happened last week and I ordered right away, expecting them by the end of last week. No heaters. So I call the PO today and they are not there today. We are very...

That Mahoe has several coats of ZaPolish and is well broke in. It was Zapladys favorite for awhile until I found a spalted Myrtle she likes. I gotta say Ed, you have it shined up real nice. It looks much nicer in the pic than I remember it. You must use a power buffer of some kind? Get lots of...

reece We do appreciate all new and old ideas for improving our offerings to customers. Some we like and try and they work. Some we think are OK ideas. Some will not fit well like different woods. One thing I have learned very well over the last couple years is the importance of wood density when...

What we use are 1/4" internal retaining rings. I think all log vapes use the same in stems but cannot say for sure. They have always worked the best and are easy to install at right angle to the tube with the end of the clip with the two little holes facing into the tip. Once in the tip, a 1/4"...

Zap only is up on our website now. With the discount code it is right at $110 delivered and includes a small tin of ZaPolish. Same price for the softwood as it is more difficult to turn than the hardwoods.

Very good points made here. Blunt, Reese, Jeff, Pappy, lwein and all. My god I long for the days of yesteryear when most of us respected the other point of view, politically. This was a favorite subject til Tea and Beck and Bimbo and the crowd on both sides took over. Couple thoughts. My...

Ed is right on with the 400 grit, then some steel wool. If you have a decent nick in the wood, use 220 grit first, then go to the 400 grit. The ZaPolish will gum up the paper til you get it all off the spot you are working on. I like to use used sandpaper to get down to bare wood. Got the...

We can do that wolfman. I will ponder a number today and get something up. The Cherrys will be bench tested for several days before leaving here. The one with the knot did a crack on us after 3 days so we will watch them very closely. I have no clue as to exact temperature but I do know stem tip...

No limited run on these babies as they will be around for a long time. Many of the logs have small limbs, making small knots as you see in the one above on the left. Small knots are OK. Big knots suck heat. The one with the led is gone already, a local sale.

Couple of announcements from Zapville that may be of some interest. First, we now have Tootys with a carb hole near the bottom of the glass. I will get over to the store in a bit and offer that option on the Tootys. Second and more important from our point of view is that we now offer a second...

I will be picking up another bunch of glass first thing in the morning. There should be several Tooties with carb holes in the batch.
