    Prankster Be sure to point out to the little woman the authentic Aroma diffusing function of Zaps. It displays nicely in ones home, dispensing a nice aroma in the air. Then if SHE feels like it, she can insert a vapor stem and chill abit. Or smile. Also, please be aware what you experienced is...

    The wood is incredible. I have already done a couple. All electric grids run within a RANGE of voltage. They are all different slightly. Then there is the efficiency/age of the wiring in the house. Other loads on the same circuit? And heat from the Zap is directly related to voltage. More...

    It is right next to impossible to combust with a Zap. It does not get hot enough. That is assuming normal operation with a standard 12 volt transformer. New wood in. I will try to turn a couple tomorrow. Some very nice stuff from what I can see at this stage. Very busy on the farm too. R

    Sad on Madcap. We are not sad at all. We are happy. And I said "fading", not stopping or quitting. Fading is a relative term. I do find it a bit strange that a person who pushed MZ so much would find a statement I made and said I was happy with the "saddest thing I have ever read here" If a...

    I do not know what we get til it gets here. The real trippy stuff is rare, especially considering there often is a flaw in it somewhere. All those fancy grain patterns put extra stress on the wood as it drys. As far as the no subtle jab comment, I am the way I described. Simple, no technical...

    That does explain why the original softwood Aromazap would heat quickly and thoroughly. Less dense wood makes a better case for the heater. I knew that but never "quantified" it with the specific gravity of the wood information. That's the way we do things over here. We make them so they work...

    For now I am going to stick with Myrtlewood. We need something close to 3 inches thick to make a Zap. Much of the fancy wood, as the olive wood mentioned, is very difficult to get in that thickness plus very expensive if you could get it. The myrtle is nice, relatively local and available with...

    We can move the jack up maybe 1/2 to 3/4 inch if that will help(special order) but Devo is correct. There are two separate chambers in the Zap. Top for heat, bottom for wiring, plug, etc. I can only go up about 1/4 of the height of the Zap for a plug install and I will only put one plug in, not...

    Pyronym Glad you figured it out. These things are really simple in construction and design and function. The proper use does take some trial and error but once you get it, it is always there. Kind of like riding a bike. HG I saw somewhere a slow boat to china left Wednesday. Who knows where it...

    You could have a bad transformer. On occasion they are bad right out of the box by not providing the needed 1 amp current. I wonder about that since you said it worked initially. I think the PD transformer is the same volts/amps? Try another transformer or the car adapter. You should not be...

    Is the herb totally dry? I mean bone dry so it easily crumbles when you finger it...............errrr easily crumbles between your fingers. And how about a stem tip pack in the middle of tight and loose? You also have to suck slow and easy to get the vapor started. The airflow through the stem...

    It is gone. The famous Madcap original will be off to a new home in the next day or two. A very special home in a very special place. Thanks for the inquiries. Rick

    Guru I think your family is getting bigger. I just keep hearing "slow boat to China". Not Sure why.........;) On another subject, I recently received Madcaps original Myrtle back. As some will recall, he said it had a crack that was getting bigger and he was really worried about it. I had asked...

    Any orders received by Friday will most likely ship Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest. I was back ordered on a part but it will be in tomorrow(Friday). The oil has always been lavender. We don't change much. It is good for other things too. Burns and even body rub for much horniness by every...

    The little wooden dowel is a vapor stem TIP packing tool. Unlike some other users of this type of device, we feel the stem tip contents need a light to medium pack. The heated air flows a bit slower, therefore warmer through the stem tip contents. Also, there are a few more pulls to each stem...

    Dan Yours shipped today with a few others. They should be there by Friday. Thanks for trying us out. My current supply of wood is nice but not extraordinary as was Madcaps. We do have more coming soon. Rick

    Looks like I missed all the fun. Here is a copy/paste from an Email I sent to Madcap several days ago: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I would rather you say nothing on the FC forum about me. We have been wanting Aromazap to fade away for a couple years now. It is up to you...

    Tyler Passive/aggressive attitude and language? Amazing what one can learn about himself on this forum! Funny you say that as we have had a 16 year relationship with a genuine P/A in-law that is thankfully over now. I have been known to be a bit sarcastic, that's for sure. And if you are now...

    Madcap Those are teeny hairline cracks, I believe at the back of your unit. That happens on occasion, especially with the real arty pieces of Myrtlewood. In fact lots of the REALLY trippy wood never makes it to a Zap because it is cracked too much. Yours have been there from the beginning, you...

    Slick You can google "small organic farming" or "bio dynamic farming" for some info. The main difference is that those of us who farm "organically" or " bio dynamically" is how we look at the soil. Our soil is a living, breathing organism. Soil is so much more than a holding medium for plants...
