Marilyn is looking mighty fine J.R.R. Glad she is treating you well. She does deliver the hot air almost as well as the HI.
The core design is more similar to the HI in that it has a small metal contact surface area to reduce heat conduction from the center tube / heating element. The direct...
Thanks. I just picked it up on ebay. There are several auctions. I don't have a specific one to recommend. Search for lipo battery tester. Some have a faster delivery time, but will cost a bit more.
Thanks banana republic. If I haven't already contacted you, please send me another email. I have been spending too much time with HI gear and keep neglecting the TT. It does perform almost as well as the HI and deserves more of my attention.
I'm glad to hear that J.R.R. has had a chance to try...
Here is a link to a discussion I started on cheap ($3) voltage testers.

It is nice to always know the voltage you are applying.
Very cool to see the entire Bud Toaster laid out Hippie Dickie. Thanks.
So glad you are pleased with the HI so far J.R.R. Sounds like you have some more testing time ahead of you. Lots of tube combinations and variations to try. Should be a fun time.
You'll vape your lungs out VapeVoice. :ko:
There was actually a sequel to a Christmas Story. My Summer Story. It...
Thanks for the summary stickstones. Very good perspective. Your HI is made from maple that has a very wavy grain. It came from the part of the tree where the trunk meets the roots and it buckled the wood as the tree grew bigger. I have never tried EQ or SOLO. I can imagine the SOLO being similar...
That does make a wonderful stem holder bOObs. I love how the HI has a connection with so many other vaporizers. I bet that you could use the wood stem I made for your LB and stick the stainless slide tip assembly on the end for another tube combination.
Thanks placetime.
I have been meaning to take some before and after photos. Fun to see a sometimes ugly hung of wood transform into a wooden jewel. The wood that Ed sent me just happens to be gorgeous already. It should really be stunning. Feels like there is a Ferrari in my garage, but I have to wait to drive...
The wood will still determine if there will be any loosening, but this change should allow the core to be reset by tapping on the center tube rather than the outer sleeve. Still need to install one and try it. The center tube will no longer spin free if the wood becomes loose and allows the...
Thanks for posting the photo J R R Tokin'. I have been having good luck with the dark cherry wood. The wood tube is for the HI, but I have also used it with the TT. Just hold the end of the glass tube against the end of the TT center tube.
I made another tweak to my HI core today (sorry it...
Thanks for posting all the tube photos bOObs. I love how versatile the tubes are for the HI. Each one performs just a little bit differently. Now you can see why I have so many. It is a lot of fun creating the different combinations. That is a very beautiful packed bowl. All glass is sure nice...
I have you down on the list now.
The units can be safely left on 24/7. I do have a variety of tubes available depending upon your needs or preferences. May even have some new ones available by the time I get to you on the list.
So bOObs, you didn't want me showing off my naked element?
Just...
Sorry to hear about your VV power supply u bwade wunner. That was one from the original batch. I haven't received any word of issues with the new batch yet. Glad that the MF PA is working well for you. It is nice to be able to plug in any compatible power supply and make it work.
The bamboo HI...
That is why I'm using bamboo now. Luckily, the wood only has to be about 1.5" in diameter so it shouldn't take to many years. ;)
I do still have some wood. Haven't cut up the wood that Ed sent me yet. There are some very beautiful units yet to come.
We used to play a game when I was in college called "Hi Bob". We would watch the Bob Newhart Show and take a drink anytime somebody on the show said Bob. If somebody said "Hi Bob", you would have to get high. We got pretty wasted after some shows. Always a good time.
Thanks everyone. Have been enjoying my new bamboo unit. It is now a permanent fixture in my shop.
I do get to try every one I make, but get to keep this one.
My first attempt did end with a crack, but it taught me something very important. There is a very fine line between cracking and being...
I have you on the list VapeVoice. Patience is all it will cost you.
Decided to make myself a HI since I have been making them for everyone else. It is something I have wanted to try for a while now. Very tricky, but it worked.
Introducing the Bamboo HI.
It is the same height as a normal...
u bwade wunner- Thanks for posting the pics. Love the organized storage basket. Glad you are enjoying the HI. Slow roasting is a great way to enjoy it. It is all about the airflow. The stainless slide tip in the 3/8" silicone tip is one combination I have not tried yet. I love how flexible and...
Thanks for your interest. The nipples are the latest development and are just a simple addition to the turbo tube. I have been developing things so quickly and recently that I haven't had a chance to update my website. My backlog is also so tremendous that I need to spend time on it at this...
