I will respond to the emails from the forum or you can contact me at alan@toasty-top.com Just haven't been able to get back with everyone yet. Will try to get a HI unit to everyone I can. Thanks for being patient. I will be sure to make you one with a right angle adapter so it can be used with...

That is a very beautiful set up you have ilovebOObs. I'm glad you are loving the slide-in tip stainless tubes. They have much better air flow than my thread-on tip design. The versatility with the glass tubes also makes it very nice. Thanks max. The HI can get plenty hot at 12 volts, so it is...

Thanks for re-posting the video Vito. I love the TT so much, I couldn't let it go by the way side. I had to breath new life into it. The HI was getting all the attention and the TT wasn't getting hardly any. I had even made up a bunch of heat sinks for the TT. Got to thinking about why the TT...

OKcomputer - Thanks for the summary. You explained it very well. Saved me some time that was better spent in the shop. Vapemeister - Glad you have found some useful information. It has been fun discovering and sharing new things. Spending too much time in the shop and not enough time on a...

I love the face in the wood ilovebOObs. Thanks for the video, photos, and update on the Solo. Each roasting tube has its advantages and disadvantages. I do like the feel of the 10mm thin glass tube the best on my lips, but it is also the most breakable of my tubes. Replacement 10mm tubes are...

ilovebOObs - Glad to hear you are making good progress putting the HI through all the tests. You have found the importance of airflow to prevent combustion. How close is the glass turbo tube in diameter to the Solo tube? That's amazing you got it to work in the Solo. The ABV looks about the same...

Sounds like you are getting the hang of it very well ilovebOObs. My HI is either sideways or inverted when I use it. Curious how you like the glass/silicone turbo tubes.

Glad to see it arrived safely ilovebOObs. Hope testing is going well. I have the best luck by not over filling the turbo tubes. About half way full still gives good air flow and allows room for stirring if needed. The wood has some quilting and some burl in it. The density is on the lighter...

$8 for the ss tip section. A way to save a little over a separate tube. A little more flexibility.

The end on the CRZ is too large to fit into the glass Turbo Tube bowl. The stainless steel tip will fit into the CRZ. The all glass turbo tube ($30) is made from 14mm heavy wall glass tubing. I also make a glass tube from 14mm regular wall tubing to which the stainless steel tip section fits...

Haven't had much sunshine the last few days, so I just too some photos in my shop. Here is my latest all glass turbo tube. It is made from 14mm heavy wall glass tubing. One end is ground for a 14mm gong and the other end has a 10mm hole bored 1/2" deep. The bowl has been flame polished to be...

Thanks mom. I had turned it a while back and had not gotten around to post a photo. It is now providing happiness somewhere.

Thanks EyeFonez. You mean like this zebra wood HI? The stem was cut from one corner of the same 2x2 chunk of wood used to turn the HI. Thank you everyone for being patient with me. Email is starting to take up more of my shop time. I just want to be sure each of you gets exactly what you...

Unfortunately, the vv adapters don't have a voltage display. Just adjust it to the position that works the best for you. It can be marked so you can return to it. I measured the voltage at a position that worked well for me and got 11.5 volts. Wish I could tell you the battery pack will be...

Thanks Abysmal Vapor and GO!!bot. Testing is going well so far. I will send out some emails to those who have been in contact with me so I can get these things out of here. The email address in my first post has been corrected. Please contact me again if you tried and I didn't respond...

Thanks Stone_Man. Hope I can find the time to create an effective portable. Glad you like the pine J.R.R.Tokin. I'm pleased that it worked out. Well, I just finished assembling a few HI units. Left to right starting in the front row: Bocote, maple burl, redheart, pine, blood wood, walnut...

I should be able to make a red cedar wood HI with the right piece of wood. If it will hold threads, I can make a HI with it. It was pointed out to me that I had the wrong email address on my very first post in this thread. If anyone has been trying to contact me and I have been ignoring you, I...

Those are wonderful photos Orestes. Thanks for posting them. Glad you are finding the tube combinations to your liking. I try to make as many people happy as possible. The sun was out for a little while today so I got a photo of a very interesting HI. It is pine from a porch post on an old...

I use the HI for dry hits more than water filtration since it takes less time (more shop time). I also use a non-variable power supply since I will be wanting to take it to the highest temperature at some point during that bowl anyhow. I just mix room air to control the temperature by just...

Sorry about that. I must stop hoarding HI's and get them out there. Will see if I can get some pics this weekend. Thanks placetime. I have kind of lost track of my tubes too. lol I make a tube that will work with just about anything out there. Even Iolite and MFLB. Thanks for the link mom. I...
