    The rim of the filter is 1.0mm high, the thickness of the washer is 0.4mm, therefore it is possible to use two washers (0.8mm) at the same time. May be with two washers, the middle part has to be sanded down to the point where the hollow space behind the filter is getting very small. In this...

    Great to read that the washers are actually arriving in you letter boxes, thanks for the feedbacks! Regarding the topic of using butane and propane with vaporizers, I still and never really understood the concerns of using liquid gas for this purpose. I don't want to stand on anyones toes but...

    Yes, I agree, but oak is not suited to make tubes with thin walls. The same with beech, not very expensive here but that wood deforms far more with the heat than the pear tree for instance and pear tree is quite expensive. Five precise machined pieces of wood are needed to build a station, I am...

    @Seren You are on the list and also on my mind sometimes!:) Making a station completely of wood is possible but not something I am planing to do soon, first I want to get the first larger series out before thinking about new products. To replace the two aluminum tubes with wood is quite tricky...

    @VapourHaze I have not thought about this to be honest. After reading OF's post, I also think that this could be a problem with some customs, I know that some airlines don't allow boiled linseed oil in their air planes for instance and boiled linseed oil is what we use on the classic models. At...

    I have not seen this on that lighter before but I have seen something similar on an other lighter and there it was solvents like methylated spirits causing this problem. Any chance it got in contact with some solvent? Vapman

    @nondarb Trying to ignite an empty torch does not lead to any damage. On single orders I test each lighter by filling a tiny bit of gas in to the tank and igniting it a couple of times. I also check out if the volume valve is working, therefore I know that your lighter was working fine. Did you...

    Took off the filter of the middle section of my vapman to have a look at the mica washer. I was wondering if it is possible to remove it without breaking the fine washer. First I have to say that I did not notice any difference with the washer, in taste nor in air flow. To remove it, I placed...

    I have some good news for you guys: Our supplier just told us, that the mica washers will arrive next week (January 26th) already! This afternoon I will post a picture of my vapman with the mica washer and I will do a test about reusing the washer after cleaning. I am very excited about that...

    Thanks for the echo about the mica washer! Have to test it a bit further and see how the cleaning goes before deciding to bring out vapman with the mica washer as a standard version. As for now, I think that adding some washers to every sold vapman would be a good idea and very helpful to the...

    On page 206 I did a post about worn down middle sections and means to extend their usage. The problem with worn down middle sections is the lowering of the spring action on the locking system. Yesterday, I received some mica washers I specially ordered for that task. Here they are, one is...

    Heat is bad for the middle section and stress on the bowl is not good for the tubes. Keeping that in mind and your vapman lasts for ever....almost;) Vapman

    The mica heat shields should not be touched nor cleaned at all, it is best to leave it as it is and it will last as long as the rest of vapman. I don't know exactly why your vapman is damp but the heat from using it should dry it up. If you don't have linseed oil at hand, you may try to...

    Hope the SAC hut is not above 1600m because normal torches don't work on high elevation. There are special lighters for higher altitudes available, seen them on internet but never owned one. The 1600m is only approximate, it depends on the current atmospheric air pressure, I guess. I keep my...

    @Choughed What a lovely post to read! Just to know that there are people out there in remote places using vapman, warms up my heart, it really does!:) @Slow Draw McGraw There is a big chance I will have an answer for you and all other users on this issue! The middle section is the only real...

    There is a subtle difference between cranking up the station to a higher level and leaving vapman on the station for a bit longer. Of course the station can be used to anyones liking, no problem nor any risk with that. In order to explain the difference, I try to explain what happens when...
