    I have wanted to try 14mm GonG connection but would probably just use a purchased connection that I modify. Not sure the heating element would have enough power to heat the glass. May have to go with 110v. Possibly with the GTV I could have an option for either 18mm, 14mm, or 3/8" ss. Here is a...

    Vaping with cotton

    @Enchantre - Glad to hear you had success soaking it in everclear. The fiber filtration has really changed my vapor experience for the better. @John Lewus - Great solution for your HT. Are you roasting the dirty hemp filter in your ELB? @Quetzalcoatl - Try cutting a square of coffee filter...

    Vaping with cotton

    I have recently been placing a small amount of concentrate (wax, hash, or oil) in a shot glass and then dissolving it with a tiny bit of grain alcohol (everclear) until it is broken up and in solution. I then take a bit of hemp fiber sized for my intended roasting chamber, work it into a ball...

    The HI

    Thanks Dr. P - A VVPS would enhance the experience with a glass core as well as with a stainless steel core but both work well at a fixed 12 volts. I am using mine with a fixed voltage power supply and really enjoying it. I can get maybe one more hit using a ss core unit after I am done roasting...

    Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Vaping?

    I was having intestinal troubles off and on for years and finally discovered it was from eating raw almonds. It wasn't the almonds themselves, but the skin of the almond that was causing the problem. They were blocking off areas which allowed infection. I now soak my almonds in water for 24...

    Way back when I first started making log vaporizers I was looking for input for features people wanted. A glass air path that was exposed to view was requested. I couldn't think of a way that would hold the glass to prevent it from breaking. After I looked at the post by lazylathe where he...

    Log vape resistors - My DIY Log Vape

    lazylathe - You have been discovering the same things I have found. The resistor is really what is doing most of the air heating. The less metal you have the better. Thermal mass is important when using glass as the heating source since it can't hold as much as metal. I have gone to the least...

    Vaping with cotton

    Glad to see other getting good results from using the cotton/hemp filters. I have started to use the hemp fiber a little differently with concentrates. I was just wrapping the concentrate in the fiber to roast it. The material had to melt and then soak into the fiber. It wasn't always easy to...

    The HI

    Had a great time in California. It was very nice there, but I had to drive through a blizzard in Wyoming and brave freezing temperatures car camping in Nevada. Back to turning wood, glass, stainless, and silicone. Interesting idea for a tube design mvapes. I'm wondering if it might be easier to...

    The HI

    Dafni - I don't spend as much time on here as I should. No worries, I will keep making HI's for as long as I can. If they strike me down, I will become more powerful than they can possibly imagine. Thanks Mom. You are so correct. Dr. P - Glad to hear you are enjoying your HI. Keep up the JedHI...

    Mini-VVPS (Community Input Requested!)

    Sorry to hear about your job CentiZen. I lost mine the same way. We wouldn't have the TT or HI if I hadn't lost my job. Hopefully, it will be a good thing in the long run.

    The HI

    Ed - It is pretty amazing how thin you can get the wood with the new design. That was some wood I could have never used before. I just use a little WD40 for coolant on certain operations. I try to keep the metal machining to a minimum. Have been turning more wood, glass, and silicone on my...

    The Amazing Vapor Lung!!!

    Just made a VL from a 3 liter apple juice bottle. Almost can't finish it. Takes pretty much my entire breath. Just killer. Would love to see a 5 gallon bottle Vapor Lung some day. Will take the GTV and a few bowls to fill it.

    The HI

    It just depends upon the plug for the VVPS. Was thinking it would be nice if there was an adapter that would go from 1/4" mono plug to a 2.1mm x 5.5mm plug. Then I could just use a DC extension cord of any length and it would be easy to replace if the cable gets damaged. So I soldered a 2.1mm x...

    Vaping with cotton

    I have always wondered about percolating the vapor through a solvent but had thought it might be a fire hazard. The coconut oil would certainly be a safer way to go. The coconut oil that I have is completely liquid at around 80F so it should work fine. The oil has no taste so I can't imagine...

    Thanks mom, al bundy, vapinghole, and jeppy. Glad I was able to make something of that piece of wood. sundrk - I have thought about maybe a silicone sleeve where it goes through the wood. The black insulation is covering red and white insulated wires. The black insulation is already providing...

    I was AWOL for a little while last weekend. Took a 3000 mile road trip to a top spinning festival. Sorry for taking time away from making HI's. Was nice to see some old friends and spin some tops. mvapes - Thanks for the great videos. I enjoyed the U-Tube on Youtube. Did you realize that the...

    Vaping with cotton

    I am just replacing the saturated hemp filter with a clean / new one. I draw the vapor through the filter whether it comes from roasting flowers or roasting an oily filter. There are less of the large oil particles released when roasting the hemp filter since it has so much surface area, but I...

    The Amazing Vapor Lung!!!

    Getting the bag sealed to the bottle well is very important. Any leaks will reduce the effectiveness. Holes in the bag can also hurt the operation. You should be able to put your finger over the hole in the cap and not be able to pull the bag out of the bottle.
