My 2022 was a renaissance year for butane. Vapman Italia really breathed new life into an old stalwart. The OG users were right all along. Small but deadly in good hands— the Walther PPK of butane vapes. Also love how Rene keeps popping up in threads like some Swiss craft Bill Murray. 2022 is...

I take the angle that cannabis has specific developmental effects on on the adolescent brain. It’s not so much that weed is bad or shouldn’t be used— it just shouldn’t be used by adolescents who already have a full plate in the hyperactive neurotransmitter department...

I think @feralcomprehension nailed it— the reason most of us are drawn to Dan’s work is because it blurs the line between art and commerce. “Functional art” gets thrown around a lot, esp on the Nomad thread, and while I don’t have one in hand (yet) to judge, I think the artistic process is a...

Haven’t been in quite a while, but a lot of people treat this assumption like fact. It’s not. Back in the day, certain ethnic minorities were given a cultural exemption to grow and use. In Yunnan (on a corner of the Golden Triangle), it grew wild all over the valleys— massive, taller-than-you...

“The first rule of Nomad Waitlist is: you do not talk about Nomad Waitlist.” Seriously. Forget you even ordered it. The first followup email you get from Dan will be like a parting of clouds you didn’t even know were there. And then prepare to wait another year or two.

Courtesy of @Grass Yes. This should prolly take it to the top of your list.

Ironically, the Vapman (and Lotus) are what got me back into butane again. It was really just all the spinning that was a pain, if ya know what I mean. The classic wood and black station has such a cool mid-century vibe, tho. Park it right on the endtable by the Eames lounger…

Try the trick for getting smells out of silicone— bake them in an oven at low temp (maybe 250°F) for about 20 mins. Most smells (bleach, etc) bake right out.

I figured the Anvil was as well-engineered as you could get in this style… but this looks amazing. So smart. Love the idea of swapping in different ball materials to tweak the performance. Mind sharing what the beta testers experienced?

Notice the washi in your photos looks redder and richer than the initial (which IIRC was a more vibrant orange). Do you reckon that’s the lighting, waxing, or natural aging? If anything yours looks better than it did new either because or in spite of all its adventures. 👍

I’ve been mulling similar for 2+ years. Endlessly juggling but nothing landing. Some thoughts: The Dreamwood Dobby might be worth a look. It’s in the SBJ/Nova style but in a pocketable 2-piece like the Lily it’s based on. The Micro v4 is super clever but the more I think about it, the more the...

https://vapman.com/products/vapcase-tree-of-life-edition Yowza! Sadly, this is where their being an EU outfit becomes an issue. Bc I can’t buy the case without buying the AFC, at which point I’ve got to make free shipping, which clearly means grabbing an OG Walnut… except my vape budget’s blown...

Well, this really is up there with the aluminum grinder debate as the best and worst of FC in a one thread nutshell. While I disagree that Mike (if that’s even his real name— no one has seen a driver’s license that I’m aware of and do you honestly expect us to believe that he was born ‘Mike’ in...

Every now and then I’ll take a step back and see it for the goofy looking thing it is, but I’m glad I finally snagged one in the ‘second coming.’ I’d use mine even more but taking out the concentrate screen is a minor PITA and it’s my go to for hash. I suppose that’s why I need two… Keep on...

Which year? 🤣

IMHO the Anvil has very few of the idiosyncrasies of other butane vapes. There’s no spinning or counting or hitting the intake in *just* the right way. Once you’ve dialed in your spot (on the cap), you just heat it to the click. Same roast every time. After how hard it hits, the easily and...

Excellent work per usual, @Dan Morrison. Love how you’re exploring the graphic potential of a 4-sided canvas. Excited to see how far you can take it. That faux urushi one won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but conceptually it’s just so damn clever.

As opposed to this… Which reminds me of this….
