Cool! :razz:

Heatup time is about ten minutes from cold/off. On days i'm using my Woodscents I generally leave it plugged-in/on all day, only turning it off when I go to bed or leave the house. It's nice to always have it on for a quick hit immediately whenever I feel like one, and it works great with a...

I vote for Ed's stems too. I have one of his in blackwood (in the pic below), and the mouthpiece also mates with the 10mm connection on a few smaller glass pieces I have (I requested 10mm, but I know he's made 14mm versions for others for the Vapman as well).

I got the Auber RDK 300 a couple years ago because I much prefer the knob to the buttons on others in it's price range. I've been happy with it. There's no extra bells-and-whistles functions. It just keeps the coil at the set temp, and that's it...but it does what it does just fine.

Flowerpot.

Yeah. I do like the idea of the waist/chest packs because you can wear them comfortably around the waist, but have the ability to raise it up to the chest if you need to wade a bit deep. You don't find that much bulk right there high on the chest to get to much in your way, @FlyingLow ? I was...

Nothing to worry about. Ground Glass connections are standard on pretty much EVERYTHING now.

And with those lanyards, though there are some available from popular companies like Orvis, one could get creative and make their own custom lanyards with whatever they want on it. I could envision even doing something artistic, like using cool heady glass beads or pennants made by a glass...

Now I need to decide and invest in how I want to carry my gear. The options appear to be a vest, a sling pack, a hip/chest pack, a backpack, or a more minimalist lanyard setup. I'm thinking a vest, but that could get hot in the warmer months. What kind of setups do some of you use to carry...

So, it arrived and it works just fine. I think I may order a couple more of these. Here's a pic I just snapped with some random glass in it:

Well, I made my decision and pulled the trigger on that Redington Field Kit - Trout rod/reel/line/case combo. It's the one in the green case gone over first in this video (not the one you see in the pic in the thumbnail before you press play): Also, @FlyingLow , I noticed that Orvis offers...

You're gonna need a $90 adapter for that.

Gonna run around town today and check out a few new and used sporting goods stores, and local fly shops, to see what's available locally. See if they've got anything I want at a reasonable price so I don't have to order it.

Thanks for the info. I figure I should maybe reach out to Oregon Glass Blower to see if they'd want to make one as well.

Looks like it was @Jill NYC who posted that pic. I just messaged them to ask.

I wouldn't want to have to unwrap a stem every damn time I want to use it.

Yeah. I know I've seen them posted here on FC before. Here's an example of one from the nomad thread (not my pic):

Where've y'all been getting your spiked glass stems for your Toads and Nomads?
