Business is business, and if you can't properly supply demand then someone else is going to jump on that demand.

Borosilicate Glass used in laboratories and our glass pieces is not typically found else where in the house unless you have old "PYREX" or "Corning ware". It cannot be recycled with regular glass like wine or beer bottles as it will ruin the entire melt pot. You would have to take it to a...

So going beyond the wasteful bit. Why are you buying glass for your friends? Why can't they bring their own glass and get it nasty? I think instead of buying glass for them you should just make them bring their own. If they don't want to then tough shit, roll a j or something. I don't think...

Maybe sticky isn't the word? Some buds can be sticky and grind really well. Some buds can have a "chewy" texture that will gum everything up and form tiny little balls of ground up material. This can happen to any grinder in my experience.

You are missing something. Those units listed below the bars are in inches. You could make 4 bodies with that one rod so you're looking at over $400 in material costs before you get into machining costs. So you're looking at a $575 dollar Vapcap. That is 1" diameter bar though, they have much...

Timascus is some of the most expensive and exotic of all the knife making materials. You'll likely have to pay a lot for even just a small chunk.

Thanks for the tips. I'll heat the plates in my oven and check them with my temp gun. The process seems pretty simple.

So if I'm going to be trying this, I need two metal plates heated to X temperature, parchment paper, bud, and a press? I've got all that's required but I'm not sure on temps.

Thanks! The inclusion of metal in the handles makes for some really difficult sanding and finishing work. Different material hardnesses makes dips and peaks in the handle when sanding. Yep, they're hand forged from O1 tool steel. I've been forging here and there for years now.

Ugh, making stems is going to get addictive I think. I'm already thinking of new designs and materials. I'm thinking of laminating some different woods up with the possibility of using some metal as well. I've done several knife handles in this way and it is stunning to look at. if you want to...

That's my kind of concentrate.

The Vapcap is a breeze. The mighty cooling units are terrible to try and clean.

You could use it if you ran the piece dry and the ash catcher wet. It would make a good particle catcher so the main piece doesn't get little bits in it.

Thanks! I did it totally free hand with the functionality I wanted in mind. I didn't drill a carb hole so I'm not struggling to find the hole and stuff it into my water piece at the same time now. It does fit a standard length condenser tube so it's not an issue to drill one if I ever want a...

I think for some it's just because it looks cool. It's got that sort of silly straw type appeal where the water zooms around the piece.

Let that burl dry outside under shelter for at least the summer then, bring it inside next winter and it should be ready around this time next year. It might have large cracks, voids, and other bits that make the majority of it not suitable for use unless it is resin filled. Instead of waiting...

I got up to some lathing this morning and turned out a custom 14mm Vong body. This is maple that I hand logged myself. Typically I use it for knife handles. Yes, the condenser still works.

If you can imagine smoking a standard bong load that you can rip in one lung full you have the vapour production of the Vapcap with regular herb. If you add kief you can really milk a piece good in my limited experience. My vapcap actually inspired me to get a larger bong because it's really...

The colour of the ABV at the end of a session doesn't really tell the whole story. I think taste, desired effects, and vapour production should be the key factors as to when the load is ready for the ABV container. I find that I have to experiment with the strain to find the "Sweet spot" in the...

I just picked up some OG Kush. not the best I've seen but not the worst by any means. Needs some further curing time. I'm happy that I have this again in my collection. 375°F in my Herbie is making some magic happen.
