The screw post configuration in the stempod is the same as for the iHeat, so I connect them the same way. Here is a photo I posted a while back where you can see how the wires connect to the 510 deck.
I cut a rectangle of ss foil of the correct size so it creates a tubular liner for the wood. The idea of the disc in the center is to direct more of the heat to the perimeter of the roasting bowl.
The Project did inspire me to try a tapered wood sleeve rather than a tapered glass sleeve to enclose the coil. I use ss foil as a heat reflector to protect the wood. The ss foil should work well with cork too. Be sure the coil doesn’t touch the foil. The farther the coil is from the base, the...
That is a great idea for the heater screen @GoldenBud The ID is 3/8" where I dimple the tube for the tube stop clip ring, so the 3/8" screen is a perfect fit. Have found it helpful to hand hammer the 3/8" screen until they are 10mm OD. It allows the screen to fit a bit tighter so it won't easily...
It is satinwood and made in 2015. The same wood I used for one of @Shit Snacks roasting tubes, shown a couple of pages back. The bottom cap may be lignum vitae.
Thanks for posting the photos @Shit Snacks Hope you have had a chance to try all the different things in the package.
@GoldenBud -...
I have been working on this project for a few years now and it’s time to give it some attention. The GTR is a 12 volt desktop herbal roaster with an 18mm (male or female) glass connection. A heavy hitting go to unit that can be left on 24/7, so it’s always ready to use.
My first vaporizer was a...
Glad to see you are enjoying your square HI @vaporoufixtras The photos and video looks great. The trick I use for installing the screws is a bit of beeswax on the end of the screwdriver to hold the screw while getting it started.
I wish that Voltage Keepers were still made. They were very...
You are welcome @Vaporooni Thanks for posting a video.
@GoldenBud - Always good to see videos you post.
@vaporoufixtras - The stainless steel heater covers I use are too small to install quartz balls, which would also greatly restrict the air flow. I also couldn’t guarantee the balls would...
A 1/2" diameter screen will work at the bottom of the 14mm joint and a 17mm diameter screen will work at the bottom of the 18mm joint to create a roasting bowl. Here is a thread I started a while back that discusses it...
That is exactly how I use my paper roasting tube for my 3/8" ss heater cover HI. The glass feels nicer on your lips than the silicone. I also place some hemp fiber in the glass tube as a filter. It catches the particles that make it through the screen and makes the vapor smoother. I enjoy...
This is what I have been using for a glass injector style roasting bowl. It is a standard 18mm female to 14mm male adapter with a 17mm flat screen in the tapered joint. The material is closer to the heat source, so it can run at a lower wattage.
Thanks so much for the kind words and posting the video and photos @Vitolo Glad the testing is going well. The heavy duty cardboard HI is based on the concept I had for a toilet paper tube HI, where a puck shaped wood base slides into the tube. The power plug extends through a hole in the...
Here is a thread I started a while back about 18mm glass roasting tubes for wand / injector style units.
18mm glass roasting tubes
I hammer 5/8" ss screens until they are 17mm in diameter to fit into the bottom of the 18mm joint. Injector style units with truncated tips like the elev8r will work...
The tube w/ cork sleeves is just plain white printer paper. The tube w/ silicone sleeves is made from 25% cotton bond paper. Brown paper can also be used. Ideally, the paper would be made from hemp. There is wheat or rice paper as an option. Bleach is probably used to get the paper so white, but...
