No worries ataxian. I will get you a vaporizer some day soon. Here is the results of my experiment. The tube on the bottom was only used at a low temperature. The tube on the top was used at higher temperatures. The oil was extracted from both tubes using the technique described above...

I enjoy the fresh flower taste. This is just my preferred method of reclaim. It only takes a few drops of alcohol so I don't have to spend a lot.

I have pretty much stopped roasting the dirty hemp / cotton fiber after I discovered an easy way to reclaim the oil and that I have an amazing new device for vaporizing the oil. E-Cig Cartridge Mod Have been letting the filter get very oily before changing it. The dirtier it gets, the more it...

@vorrange - I need to make a small batch of HILites very soon now that I have the jig made. Thanks for posting the photos and video Madcap79. Glad you are enjoying it. @jambandphan03 - Thanks for posting the video. Nice when you can still use old combustion pieces. I recently found that I...

I didn't really want to get into e-cigs since I already have my hands too full as it is, but a guy gave me a kit with disposable cartridges and asked me if I could modify them. How am I going to say no to that? So I removed the paper and cut down one of the ss cartridges about 1/4" above the...

One of the challenges of getting the air to the same temperature of the heating element is getting the film of hot air away from the heating element. Turbulent air works the best for stripping this hot film away. Higher velocity or some sort of physical feature is needed to create the...

Thanks for posting the photos slowandsteady. Very happy with how they turned out. @ataxian - It may take me a few weeks after sending me some exotic wood once your name comes up on the list. The cost would be as if it were made from domestic wood. I make them is small batches so it takes me a...

Finished up a batch of HI's recently and had one with a remarkable grain pattern. It is bocote with the grain oriented sideways and an ebony bottom cap. It reminds me of the sun setting on the ocean. Excited to see the Voltage Keeper units introduced. They work really well with the HI. I was...

Glad you are enjoying your Toasty Top. It does run a little hotter than the PD since there is less wood to remove the heat and the heating element is a little closer to the roasting bowl. I thought that the wood was mohogany when I made it, but believe it may actually be bubinga. That is one of...

The VK truly is an amazing device. Thank you for making them VoltageKeeper. Here is a video of one in action. Having the ability to see the input voltage is important in monitoring the power level of a battery being used. The VK helps extend the useful fife of any battery pack by only...

@exit - If the SSV has the same heater support as the LSV, then it can also be converted to a HIsurfer. The main advantage is the size of the roasting tube you can use. The 3/8" / 10mm size bowls allow for more fresh bowls per gram of your herb. The vapor to air ratio can be very high. It also...

@Jeppy - Thanks for posting the video. Very cool. Exhaled vapor is just wasted anyhow. I have been referring to the stainless steel part of the HI as the core, but it has really just become a heater cover with the latest design. I will start referring to them as heater covers for the new...

@CentiZen - Thanks for posting the photos. Looks great with that mini VVPS. @Hypno vaper - Thanks. The HILite is way smaller than the GTV. Just a little more than an ounce in weight. @JJ420 - Glad to hear your HI is getting you very well medicated. Amazing how low you can go in voltage and...

@JJ420 - That is one of my first HI's. It may still have the two part core. It is eligible for a free replacement core if that is the case. Did you get the right angle adapter for the bottom? @Hypno vaper - The Staron bottom cap is definitely a good way to go. I have many different colors from...

@Dr. Plutonious - The poly is the same material that was used for the PD vapor tubes. The roasting tips are too short and allow too much heat that softens the poly material which is fairly thin. They will work fine in wood or glass tubes. Glad you are finding other uses for the HI as well...

@CentiZen - Glad to hear your HI arrived safely and you are happy with it. I have better luck hovering the HI onto the roasting tube rather than setting it on the tube. The herb can get smashed down which affects the air flow if the HI center tube is pushed too far into the roasting tube...

Try forming the ss foil into a square tube larger than the resistor. Squeeze the corners of the square tube together until they form 4 vertical fins around the resistor. Twist the foil tube to form the fins into a spiral and tighten the foil onto the resistor. As long as it doesn't touch the...

@lazylathe - Thermal mass at the resistor is good. I was going to try wrapping the resistor with ss foil before I tried the ss tubing. I didn't have any foil but did have some tubing. The foil will shield the radiant energy emitted from the resistor so the wood doesn't get so hot. It will add...

@Vapinghole - Thanks so much. I will plan on an all glass core for you. @Hypno vaper - You are too kind. Nice to be able to get everyone exactly what they want. @Dr. Plutonious - Thanks. I am always trying to make it a better experience. It requires me to do a lot of testing though. Much...

I suffer from an illness called "Modifydis". I have to modify everything. I mainly wanted to show that it could be done, but I also wanted to make what I think is the most versatile vaporizer possible. The glass heater cover slides right over the ss heater cover so it still works with the...
