I have been making stainless steel, glass, silicone, and wood tubes for my herbal roasters for over 10 years now. My website is finally updated to show the majority of the ones I make, so it’s time to start a thread for them. Toasty Roasting Tubes I refer to them as “Roasting Tubes”, since...

It has been a busy year here. I’ve made a few interesting things and finally got my website updated with most of the things that I make. Seems like there will always be things that need to be added. Should answer a lot of questions so I won’t need to spend as much time explaining what I make via...

Glad you are able to use so many different roasting tubes with the iHeat using the silicone sleeve @GoldenBud Speaking of silicone sleeves. I found that an 18mm female glass tube will fit nicely to a StemPod deck using one. It allows enough room to install a spiral coil heater. The roasting is...

There is a strip of metal inside the power socket that touches the outside of the plug barrel. If you gently pry it towards the center pin using a tiny screwdriver, it will make better contact when you plug in the extension cord. Send me an email if you are still having issues.

I would guess that there were a couple of hundred of the classic LB's made based on the number of roasting tubes I made for Mike. @BakedDiogenes - Glad the roasting tubes arrived safely. Thanks for posting the photos.

The right button switches between on and off. The left button switches the displays [0] Input voltage, [1] Output voltage, and [2] Alternating between Input and Output voltage. If you press and hold the left button for more than two seconds, it memorizes the voltage so it will start there when...

Does your unit have the 3/8" diameter ss foil disc in the center of the screen? I have found that it eliminates the central hot spot since the hot air enters the perimeter of the bowl. I also like to move the basket screen closer to the end of the tube so that the air doesn't have a chance to...

The circuit boards used are from a newer batch, which may not have used components as good as the previous batch. It is possible the circuit boards are made by multiple manufacturers using the same design. I did experience this with one of my recent voltage controller builds. Tried a few things...

I would really like to use gold mesh or wool for the metal mass, as it should have no impact on the taste and will conduct heat quite well. Not sure where I would find something like that. Working on a batch of bamboo suction cups with the bottoms cut out. They were already the right length, so...

While 100% pure convection heating is an ideal goal, the reality is that conduction and radiant heat transfer are always a part of the equation, even though a smaller part. The walls of the chamber and the basket screen holding the ground material absorb heat from the hot air stream. As they...

There has been a lot of talk lately about having more core mass to smooth out the temperature fluctuation of the core from drawing air through it. I wanted to see if it was true or not, so I built a special heater cover what contained a second ss clip ring to hold a 1" tall stack of ss washers...

Thanks for posting the photos and the review @Vapefanatic Looks like you have your hands full with lots of herbal roasters. So many different ways to roast. Thanks for posting the videos @GoldenBud Those are some nice clouds. Here is a unit I recently made for myself. Have been wanting to try...

Thank for posting the photos and video @GoldenBud Glad you are enjoying it. Here is my latest creation. Had a few extra glass fittings when I first started making the iHeat, but then never used them since I switched to cutting the taper into the wood. Also had a few champagne corks that I...

The slits in the glass do impart spin into the air movement. The speed of the draw will determine how much spin. I find a faster draw will drop the pressure in the roasting chamber which will lower the boiling point of the oil and produce more vapor. Using the flame on the Toasty Tube requires...

Lots of good things going on in the toasty shop. I have started using ss cartridge heaters to power the HI. They were just what I needed for the 12mm 3 slit glass heater cover. A ss basket screen on the end of the heater keeps it centered in the glass tube. Works great with the 16mm/12mm on...

Good to see you again @Vapinghole Can’t stop innovating. Glad you are enjoying your square HI @jeffp I mostly hold the tube and HI horizontally when connecting / drawing vapor to minimize the chance of loosing particles. Thanks for posting the video @P.A.M. Happy to hear you think my prices...

Finally completed the move and almost have the shop up and running again. Has been a big challenge integrating my equipment w/ my late fathers already filled shop space. Keeping the dust contained is vital. @Melting Pot - Thanks for posting the photos. Hope you have been enjoying it. @PPN -...

Thanks for sharing @P.A.M. I like the extra piece of silicone in the middle of the tube for safely handling the hot tube.

I do like coffee. Was very impressed with the Aeropress when I first got it. The inversion method worked great. After a while the plastic developed scratches which allowed the fluid to bypass the rubber plunger. I now only use an Aeropress (not the same one I used for coffee) for extracting oil...

Some major news here. I recently moved to my late fathers house in Nebraska and am still in the process of unpacking. Hoping to get the shop up and running soon. Sorry that it will extend the wait time a bit longer. @Dargin B - Please send me an email to alan@toasty-top.com to get on the list...
