@blokenoname - Sorry to hear about the cracked bamboo. I can’t find anywhere to purchase it that will guarantee that it won’t crack. It seems that it may depend upon how the bamboo grew and how it was dried. Hard to say for sure. Some just want to crack no matter what. I cut the blanks and then...

@Bravesst - Glad to hear you are enjoying the HI when you have guests stop by. Works out well that they have their own roasting tubes since they don't hold a party amount of material. @CurryLeafTreehugger - The screen in the 2 part version shown on my website is flat. The 10mm glass mouthpiece...

@Andreaerdna - Sorry to hear about the accident. Glad to hear you were able to put everything back together and it works fine. So nice to have that option. @PPN - Glad to hear you are still enjoying the iHeat. I have found that a grey film will start to form on the 510 threads as a result of...

Wanted to share a photo of a flame box elder and red heart wood Insta Heat unit from my most recent batch. The roasting tube is made from the same piece of flame box elder wood. Will try to get some more photos posted.

Sorry to hear about the quilted maple LB’s Mike. Hope you get a few good units from it. Making tubes from quilted maple can be challenging too. It does take more time to work with fancy woods and there is always the chance of accidents or finding inclusions in the wood, so you do need to charge...

@blokenoname - Thanks for the mentions. Others have borrowed my concepts/designs without mentioning where they got it. I’m all for advancing the log vaporizer design. Looks like you are having fun trying different things to see which works the best. The bamboo shell is really an exciting...

@204Markie - I use silicone tubing with my HI on occasion. It fits nicely onto the 10mm glass mouthpiece tube of my Slide-a-Bowl tube or connects to a 13mm glass tube using a Turbo Tube sleeve. It helps to use the two screen method so that you don’t risk loosing any material when you turn the...

@Bravesst - It was great to see you during your vacation to Denver. Seemed like it was too short (as vacations always are). So many more ideas to discuss and products to make. At least you got to try my sourdough waffles. I have still tasted no better. Glad I was able to provide you with a few...

@P.A.M. - Thanks for posting the photo. Your bamboo HI is still looking good. Shows how small Lil' Bud is next to it. I didn't fully understand how small Lil' Bud is until I tried one last night. Mike is in town for the 4/20 holiday, so I get the chance to see him a lot. May not get much work...

Safe travels Mike. Looking forward to seeing you and trying out Lil' Bud. Should be a lot of great brainstorming.

@204Markie - Thanks so much for getting me to think about an aromatherapy option for the glass heater cover HI’s. I like to use it better than the copper aromatherapy cups on the SS heater covers too. Glad to hear your bamboo HI arrived safely and you have been enjoying it. Almost impossible to...

I was using a whip, so it was not hot at all. It is just a habit to draw in some fresh air to get some extra oxygen at the end of the hit.

@AngryJon - Thanks for posting the photo. Glad you are enjoying it. I have my Witcher box set at 36 watts which seems to work well for me. @Summer - The only time I use the 18mm glass insert is if a customer requests it or if there are holes in the material that won’t allow me to taper the...

@Bravesst - Congratulations on the release of Lil’ Bud and the move to “Portables”. It is well deserved as you have produced an amazing vaporizer. There will be a lot of people who will benefit from using Lil’ Bud. Great to see the wonderful reviews so far. I’m sure there will be many more. Love...

Good to see you again bOObs. Hope all has been well with you. I see that you found my latest vaporizer design. It is quite amazing. Also 12 volt input like the HI, but it requires at least 8 amps. Heat is only produced when you push the button, so the wood stays cool to the touch. It is very...

@JJ420 - Good to hear the pine HI is still pumping out the clouds. The taste is much better at the lower voltages. @Raskin666 - Thanks for posting the photo. Glad you are enjoying your HI. The heating element is only about 8 watts at 12 volts which is lower than most 120 volt put out. It takes...

@SloJimFizz - Thanks for posting the photos. Glad you are having good results from your iHeat. It is a great way to roast. @Andreaerdna - Glad I was able to make an on demand unit that does not require glass fittings for you. The mouthpiece stem you posted looks really great. Glad the cork...

Thanks @Bravesst. The iHeat 510 cartridge has been an option for those on the waiting list since this summer. About the only change from the initial prototypes was to reduce the diameter from 1” to 25mm so they would fit onto a Witcher box. Just using the o-rings that come with the 510 deck to...

Very nice laser cutting. Can you cut a pattern / design all the way around the tube? I have never tried bending wood stems. Here is a post about how to do it. http://www.pipesbydesign.com/single-post/2014/07/15/How-to-Make-a-Curved-Wooden-Pipe-Stem Looks like a lot of work. Bending bamboo might...

Nice job on the stems. I recall being asked about making something for the capsules once, but never got any to try. Do you leave the flower unground so that small particles from ground flower don't pass through? Maybe just a course grind? I do like how wooden stems tend to stay in the glass...
