There’s no banana for scale but Marc said he was shooting for smaller with the 10. If that cutout piece in the middle photo is a battery door and the length of an 18650…. well, damn. 🤤 (A little FC-style baseless speculation to get that hype train rolling. 😉 Happy Friday!)

I followed the Tempest thread from inception to launch, but somewhere along the way, they lost me. Too fiddly and over-engineered for my tastes. I almost grabbed a TA3 instead but having clearly internalized the Tempest chatter, somehow that felt too brutish and under-engineered by contrast...

Lotus game day. Go get ‘em, LA! 👊

Many people who love driving love driving stick but there’s a reason carmakers don’t manufacture more manuals— the VASt majority just want to get where they’re going, quick as they can. Of course, in markets where gas is pricey and sold by the litre [sic], the manual transmission’s improved...

As said in the Shire: I don’t vape half as much half as often as I should like; and I use half as many of my vapes half as often as they deserve.

Honestly, Vapman isn’t my favorite for on the go but for a portable session/travel, the above works well. For “around and about,” I usually keep it assembled in the bottom half of the egg to protect the mica. Sits stably upright in most jacket/hoody pockets.

Same! When David and Michael reopened shop, I grabbed a pear OG bc it’s one of the only models to use a native Swiss wood. Think it was also in the original lineup. IMO the subtle charm of the pear owes to the linseed oil finish. It adds a depth and warmth that grows on you over time… like the...

I took my Pear Classic for a spin and realized that I had never put my OG and Click side by side. I was surprised to discover that they’re actually the same height, both base to deck and base to mouthpiece (even if the barrel distortion seems to indicate otherwise). Even more surprising was...

Catching up with an old friend. Mostly talk centered around “what happened to Fridays?”

A health scare made me swear off combustion but a lifetime of edibles was never in the cards. So I found my way to shit factory vapes then quality factory vapes then small batch then bench-made— a solo journey that took commitment, opportunity, and nontrivial sums of cash. It’s neither a...

OG Vapman I’ve been a longtime fan of the Vapman for hash but picked up a Swiss-style ebony Classic for flower. Wow. The denser wood makes a noticeable difference— very smooth ramp up to potent, flavorful hits. Vapman Click Helped out with beta testing for the Click but it’s quickly worked its...

Damn. One day @David and Michael will figure out how to properly implement coupon codes on Shopify and actually make some money. Note to self: buy seconds Station before that day.

This is the Vapman (Click) they’re giving away… I’m on a Black Friday blackout, but damn. Winner will be drawn randomly from today’s orders. If you’re on the fence, time to get off!

Given the party-friendly features (big bowl, click discs), I thought “Vapman LFG” was pretty inspired… The silence was deafening.

If you don’t load it too full, the click does shake things up a bit. But so would giving the unit a physical shake. Either way, I’ve been impressed with the evenness of the roast with mostly empty to mostly full bowls. It improves on the OGs in that respect, probably bc the bigger bowl has more...

As a beta tester, it was easy to look at the feature set and think “it’s just an OG with a click disc and a bigger bowl.” In practice, the whole has proved greater than its parts. Yes, the bowl is bigger, but it still microdoses like a champ. When I first began testing, I deliberately started...

A little linseed oil brushed on the edges can help stabilize it if your layers are “delaminating” (the mica flakes are pressed into sheets), but others have noted that, in use, reclaim from vapor back-flow will eventually form a sealing coat of its own. Basically, you need to use it more. 😉...

I don’t know that the spiral intercooler (took mine out) was necessary, but the slot intake vs the 3 holes was a great tweak for the V2. With my OGs, it’s a two-handed operation to goose the airflow while taking a draw. Love that I can hit the V2 one-handed. Of course, playing the Vap-flute is...
