Thanks for posting the video cluffy. I have had the best luck in a dark room with a ray of sun coming through the shades. It really makes the vapor look dark. I like how you can see the vapor forming in the roasting tube.
Very nice photos EyeFonez. I'm glad you are pleased with your HI. You...
You are welcome cluffy. Glad it is performing well for you. Love to see the video.
Wish I could find DC power cords with built-in voltage meters. Then you would always know the voltage.
Thanks CHIDOY and OTA.
It may be unfair, but inevitable. Look at what happen with Kleenex, Jello, Band-Aid, etc. They become so successful the brand becomes the object. Just a tribute to their success.
Thanks OhTheAgony, Vito, and CHIDOY. The burl wood HI above Cluffy's walnut HI is maple. Always fun to see what appears in the wood when it is finished.
bayneite - I'm so happy that it all worked out well for you. Thanks for hanging in with me through all the design enhancements and new...
Thanks Vapinghole, Vito, and mom. Lilac is sort of an overlooked wood. It is available almost anywhere. Just have to find some that is very old and not too cracked. I always try to find the dead wood as the green wood will crack when it sees you with coming with the saw in your hand. That might...
Sorry in advance Vapinghole. This will not be good for your HIDS.
I have had a piece of lilac wood since I first started making HI's that was too small for anything plus some nasty cracks. It worked pretty well for a HI Top. The shape is not Eggxactly what I was looking for, so I will have to...
When a HI is heated for the first time, it drives off any remaining moisture. The moisture in the wood below the core exits out the bottom since it must travel through the grain tubes. It will leave a little "C" shaped condensation ring on the surface on which it is setting. I usually leave them...
Yeah! Spinning Tops. I love it.
Out of all the hundreds of spinning tops I have made, very few have been finger tops. I need to make myself a totem (just saw Inception the other night). Maybe that should be tokem. A stem that is a spinning top. Hmmm. When it keeps spinning that means you are...
That is really awesome Gonzo. I just tried one of my 3/8" screens that I use to hammer out to 10mm and they fit perfectly into the gong end of the all glass tube. It slides right down to material and stops. A paperclip with a bend at the tip to remove the screen and a puff of air to remove the...
Thanks for the video Vito. I love it. All the different log vaporizer tubes and accessories play so well together.
It looks like you have quite a great start to a vaporizer museum there Vito. Love the corner vape case.
Thanks everyone. It is always tough to let them go. Like I'm giving one of my own HI's away. The dark walnut will have a much better life. It was only good for holding people up before. Now it will lift them up and carry them away. Always fun to find faces in the wood too. The burl wood is...
Here are a couple of HIsabers that went out today. It was kind of funny at the post office. The lady asked me what I was sending (none of her business) and I told her with a straight face they are hand warmers for heated massage. She was very interested and asked if I might bring one in...
Here are a couple of shot of my White Oak short HI. It is only 3-3/8" tall. The strange pattern in the side view is repeated on the other side. It looks like pig ears and the pig is wearing a crown. I bought some extension cords with right angle plugs hoping I would only need to make a small...
It is some very cool wood. Thanks so much mom. Very fitting indeed. I have a few more blanks to cut up yet so we will see what appears when they are turned.
Congratulations bOObs! Very exciting news.
OhTheAgony - The Big Hearted Woman is setting on my dresser right beside my bamboo HI. I...
No brothers or sisters yet. There is a mother though. Here is the "Big Hearted Woman". I hate to even post it since it is not available for sale. I feel like a tease. Sorry. Just wanted to show you the very cool figure in the grain. It is so fun when you discover something like this. Hope to...
Very nice power supply mod u bwade wunner. I have one of the $40 ones with meter indication. The meter will act as a voltage indicator when the unit is shut off. I can use it to tell how much charge is left in my battery.
I remember finding that the temperature in my TT would change by 10...
He was opposed to selling me a PD so I had no other choice but to make my own.
The log-vape threads are very entertaining these days.
I will probably pass on the unisex model Rick. I'm trying to resist any more models to produce (just saw Ricks post - not a log vape - interesting).
Nice to...
