I have been under the weather, so progress has been slow lately. I was able to complete some iHeat 510 wood bodies. Here is a photo of my latest batch of 25mm diameter wood bodies. Left to right in the front row - black and white ebony, tulip wood, marble wood, elm burl, pink ivory, osage...

I have found the best way to use oil is to mix it with the flower. Hemp fiber also works too, but I like the flavor better mixing it with flower. The larger the surface area, the bigger the clouds.

@virtualpurple - Sorry to hear the issues your are having with your Insta Heat. Have you tried the cartridge on a mod box yet to see if you are getting similar results? Happy to take a look at it to see what the issue might be if you aren't able to get it working properly. @Bravesst - Thanks...

@P.A.M. - That is like a galactic or double spiral. I was planning to try that configuration on my next coil build. It will make it easier to connect the wires to the 510 deck. My only concern is that there may be too much center heat that will cause uneven roasting. Only one way to find out...

Glass between the heater and wood will only prevent conductive heat transfer, it will not stop radiant heat transfer. Since the spiral coil is free standing, it does not require glass to prevent it from contacting the wood as in the other models you mentioned. The less time that the heater is...

Lil’ Bud is really starting to take shape now. The coil build looks great. Those flexible arms work great for holding the wood disk steady while you form the spiral coil shape. You are correct that the coil formation is the most important part. So nice to have the coil not touching a glass...

Here is a photo of @hoyo77 's amboyna burl iHeat 510 cart w/ matching 2.5" lg WonG and 3" lg glass mouthpiece tube. Still had some of the wood he had sent to me for making his HI's. It was only about 1" thick, so there wasn't enough to make a HI. Just the right size for an iHeat 510 cart. The...

Please send me an email to alan@toasty-top.com Thanks Alan

Thanks @abhs for posting the photos. It is still looking good. Glad to hear you are still enjoying them. @Diggy Smalls - Always thought that the ss roasting tubes and Heat Island would be great for weed tasting events. It allows you to try small amounts so you can find the flower you like best...

Someone asked if I could make a 18mm male to 14mm female adapter so they could use their Touch tubes with the iHeat or any other vaporizers w/ a 18mm female connection. The answer was, yes. I recently purchased a tool that allows me to make them. Here is how it looks in satin wood. It can also...

Have been wanting to make a voltage controller that cost a little bit less and is enclosed in a protective plastic case. Found some plastic boxes that are just about the right size. Here is how it looks. It uses a 25 watt capacity buck/boost (lower and raise the voltage) circuit board...

Here is a photo of the ISO-2. I only use the condenser and reaction vessel section from it. The vacuum hole connects to the very top. Very space age looking. Apparently there is now an ISO-3 (and even ISO-4) being produced. Here is some discussion about the ISO progression...

It was about twice as much as a vacuum pump that requires oil, but well worth eliminating the oil mess.

The condenser is sort of a tower with cooling fins. There is a basin area where you can place ice cubes to cool it and do most of the condensing. The low point of the condenser is in the center so it will drip into a glass cup held by a ss basket. I connect to the very top of the tower with the...

The paper filter may be finer than the metal ones. Probably a good idea to run it through a filter finer after running through the aeropress. The time it takes to go through a paper filter doesn't matter much after it has been separated from the plant material. The aeropress allows you to...

I recommend an Aeropress. Place the bottom unit w/ filter paper on a glass coffee cup. Pour about 1/4 cup of finely ground and desiccated material taken from the freezer onto the filter paper in the bottom unit. Pour enough cold everclear in to cover the material. Swish around for 10 seconds or...

I have been working with @Bravesst to translate the spiral coil mesh heater design into an all wood body battery powered unit. There have been some challenges, but he is doing a wonderful job and is really committed to the product. He has the tools, time, and skills to make it happen. The...

Sounds like a plan. I will need to get some glassware cleaned up first.

I don't have any milk videos to share, but here is a photo of a unit I sold about a month ago. The bottom and roasting tube is black wood. The heater cartridge is maple burl. So many potential wood combinations. I found a low profile switch that fits the slim diameter better and works well. The...

@PPN - Glad to hear the iHeat cartridge is still working. It is completely rebuildable, so it is possible to remove the cover. I don't anticipate that it will need to be rebuilt though. The coil can be damaged if you are not careful with it. If it is still working well, it is best not to mess...
