Not really, I think it stays comfortably cool personally. I'd put it right between steel and glass.

That doesn't sound too optimistic...

This is such a weird thread to follow when you have no horse in the race... It's like continuing to watch a mediocre TV show (no offence) just because you want to know the ending. So much drama! :rofl: But I'm genuinely happy for those of you who are finally on the home stretch. Because...

Yes. Also yes. :lol: It's really only an option with sandy Moroccan/Lebanese style hash (or any low-grade hash that has a decent amount of plant material in it). Anything that's oily to the touch is probably not worth the mess considering how well the sieve works. I've never been a huge fan...

Just wanted to add that you can use extremely small amounts of hash (or herb) with the Vapman. So if the dose is your concern I would recommend simply lowering it and still do whole bowls, instead of adjusting the amount of hits you take. IMO it's a much better experience than doing the...

A lot of wood finishes aren't considered food safe, including BLO which I believe is still used for Vapman Classics. This shouldn't be a concern in this case though, for reasons like the one you mentioned. But transparency is obviously still preferred since people have different kinds of...

Sorry if this is obvious but what's the functional purpose of this mod? Looks great by the way!

I don't see any reason for doing this, why not just take it out? It's not made to fit and it would serve no purpose even if you would somehow be able to force it in.

Not disagreeing with @borbjorbis but I just wanted to say that the vibration is honestly too subtle to be reliable for me personally. I've tried using my VM Click with headphones on, but the results were either paranoia or a wasted bowl. However, I'm sure you could find a technique that would...

Not of the same wood, no. But I have used multiple classics and pures and have felt that the ones with mica predictably show less signs of charring with similar usage. This has obviously not been performed as a controlled study, it's just an observation. And I have no problem with being wrong...

I can't say for certain either but in my experience, having used both models, it's a noticeable difference. I would assume that the mica absorbs/deflects some of the heat, which then reduces the peak temperature of the heat that comes in contact with the middle piece. This should result in...

I agree that it's usually not a problem, but I'd say that it's actually very common to have some flaking. Some people find it annoying while others don't care. I like that they now have both versions available again, and I think you'd find that they complement each other quite well. A tip: The...

Mica acts as a heat insulator, so it mainly helps protect the wood. This can be especially useful if you tend to push the temperature quite high (with hash for example). As a result you rarely get any of that wood smoke that you occasionally get with the pure model, and also less charring on the...

Do you mind sharing what pipe that is? Love the look and size of it! Happy Lotus Friday! :)

Those photos really help clear any doubt... Make Vapman rounded and sexy again 2025! :clap: Although the functionality is great, my Click is the first nameless Vapman in my collection.

Yeah it's possible that it originally belonged to some royalty from ancient Egypt, since it clearly has been mummified. Definitely a special piece. This does raise some questions about René's real age... :hmm:

No you're good, I'm more offended by you having never owned a Vapman! :lol: I'm biased but I think it should have a spot in most collections. And for people who appreciate wood and/or manual ingenuity there are really no excuses not to have (at least) one. ;)

Not who you asked, but the brand Blockx has a polymerized linseed oil that's confirmed to not contain any drying agents and is therefore completely non-toxic. It should be available in the UK. I've used it as a standalone with good results. A thin layer takes about 4-5 days to dry IME. Just...

That's definitely great to have as an alternative. But I must say that the protected vapor path and easy maintenance would be tough features to leave behind after getting used to them. Personally I would love if @David and Michael could add some customization options for things like this in the...

This is honestly exactly what my dream version would be as well, with the addition of a fully compatible glass mouthpiece. I'm actually surprised with how much I feel like something is missing without the three air holes. On paper it's an inferior concept but for me it's very much an...
