stickstones - I tried the finer mesh screen in a turbo tube and had to change it after the third bowl because it was getting too plugged for good air flow. It did seem to let a little less particulate through. The stirring creates a lot of the particles I have found. You probably don't have as...

I played around with finer screens on the SS tip tubes and found they clogged too quickly. I was also using finer screens in my first turbo tubes because they held the silicone better. That was before I figured out that hammering the screens made them larger and fit better. The shiny surface of...

BigDaddyVapor - Glad to hear you are getting the hang of the new SS roasting tube. The precise temperature control of a VVPS allows you to roast at the temperature you like the best. Nice video with the SSFG. The 14/18mm adapter seems to work well by pulling it rather than the roasting tube to...

BigDaddyVapor - I should have told you about mom's marshmallow method when I sent you the tube. It was initially used with the Toasty Top since it ran hotter than the zap or PD. The traditional way of inserting the roasting tube fully into unit did not work so well with the TT. That is where I...

I am using the identical resistor that all log vapes have used. I experimented with lots of different resistors in the beginning, but the Ohmite is hard to beat. BDV - Nice video of your Leviathan tube. That is some dark vapor. Glad you are able to extract more from your ABV. There usually...

The unit is rated for 12volts AC when plugged into 120 volts AC. The actual voltage may be more than 12 volts though. There is no way of knowing for sure unless you measure it. The only risk is that the life of the heating element may be shortened. There is no risk of fire. If the heating...

stickstones - Sorry to hear about the VVPS. I have never tried a PD wall wart with the HI. I remember some discussion that it runs close to 14 volts with no load applied. The voltage is a bit lower with a load applied, but still may be too much for the HI. You should always test the voltage of...

Vape N Bake - I'm not sure how one of the dimmers would work with the regulated power supplies, but they should work with an un-regulated power supply. I don't have either to try it though. CentiZen - Good to have you on the list. Thanks for the email. Jeppy - Sorry to hear about your...

Good question. I was in the wight place but it must have been the wong time.

stickstones - Glad to hear you are getting the hang of the HI. The glass nipple sure makes for an enjoyable session. I have been running mine at full voltage (12) 24/7 to test for any signs of charring. Looking very good so far. Turning the voltage down to 10 or so would probably be better than...

The HI is 3.875" tall with the right angled adapter. The original without the right angle adapter is 3.5" tall. I could make one 2.75" tall if were to always lay on its side which should be alright. The very first one I made was 2.75" tall from quilted maple. I made a base for it from black...

I brought the piece of wood to my computer and compared it. It is definitely the same piece of wood but I did not recognize it. The wood in the photo looked like it was waxed and the wood I have has none. The photo must have been soon after harvesting. The eye fissures have opened up now as the...

stickstones - Pain is so close to pleasure. The higher temps come at a price some times. The HI must be treated a bit differently than traditional log vapes. Start the roast on high air flow. The speed can be reduced towards the end of the roast to get higher temps as needed. panasonic -...

SoulCaptivesAreFree - Thanks. There is no cost to get on the list. Just send me an email. alan@toast-top.com Jeppy - Thanks for the photo. The HI Keeper looks great. MacNcheezePLZ - I always look at wood for ways of turning it or modifying it. Would love to turn some old carved tiki figure...

I believe you have a 14mm all glass roasting tube w/ a SS tip assembly. The 5/16" SS tip slides into the 3/8" SS coupling. It should only be removed for changing out the screen / cleaning. The tip should slide fairly easily in the right orientation. When it gets fully inserted down to hold the...

kushcabbage - Glad you like them. There was a lot of pressure to turn out something special. That wood is quite special. If there was a vaporizer museum, they might fit right in. Ed is a very lucky guy indeed. Congratulations on your 420th post OhTheAgony - Thanks. Definitely some crazy wood...

Thanks Chidoy, OhTheAgony, and bOObs. Glad you like them. I had some better light this afternoon. Here they are again with the glass tipped afzelia roasting tubes. The photo really doesn't do them justice. Here is the center portion of the sindora burl to show you that they really did come...

Thanks Ed. The day has arrived. Here are the HI units I turned from the wood that Ed sent me. The two on the left are spalted afzelia burl. The two on the right are sindora burl and came from the same piece of wood believe it or not. I made a HI Top from the piece where the two woods meet. I...

I did feel something. It was thunder from a very rare storm rolling through. Not much rain though. Very cool that Vapinghole and bOObs got together for a meeting/vape session. Two JedHI masters wielding HIsabers. Sounds like a fun time. Have your HI's done Ed. Will try to get some photos...

I tried cutting glass tubing with one of those wheels one time (not much luck) and then I discovered a slick way to cut them. Spin the glass tubing in a metal turning lathe (an electric drill would work) and carefully cut a deep groove into it using a triangle diamond file and a drop of water. A...
