I'm hoping to get a batch mostly finished by next week. They are taking a little longer since I have to invent the manufacturing process as I go plus designing new tubes. I am also trying some that are a bit taller and have a 90 degree plug adapter so that a straight plug power adapter will...
Thanks J.R.R.Tokin' and thehunger, but just a couple of clarifications.
I was mainly going for a small size and great air flow. The fast heat time and high temperature is a bonus. I wasn't trying to make a cloud chaser.
It actually has worse heat retention than the TT. It does have better heat...
Thanks, you are so kind Garrett518. You can start roasting in about 30 to 40 minutes. That is also about how long it takes for the wood to get hot enough for massage/hand warming. I like to leave mine plugged in 24/7. It is always ready for me. I can walk by and hold it for a while to really...
Another amazing Vito video. Thank you so much for all the effort to put it together Vito. It has been fun discovering new ways to connect tubing together. I'm glad to were able to give me some great feedback and help guide the tube development.
Thanks J.R.R.Tokin'.
One other thing that is very...
Thanks for the payment bio. Lets talk tubes. Send me an email.
SirTokesAlot - The airflow is very good in the new tubes. A bit better than the new Toasty Tube even though they have the same open area at the screen. The bowl can hold more roasting material. An all metal Turbo Tube just doesn't...
I'm not sure how bio is getting his HI to combust. I have not been able to do it myself.
Are you getting fire and ashes combustion bio? Does it happen when you use the power supply that came with the HI?
I have noticed that the roasting tube will continue to produce vapor for a while after the...
Slide the poly tube out of the silicone sleeve until it is about half way out. The end of the poly tube and the screen should be in the middle of the silicone sleeve. I never load it more than 1/4" above the screen. This gives me good air flow and room for stirring. Be sure the screen always...
Sounds like you are testing it to the limits biojuggernaut. Good thing I sent an extra piece of silicone.
I have found it can get pretty hot if the screen gets too dirty and blocks air flow. Be sure to check your screen often if you are using concentrates. The screens are very fine. I found that...
Thanks for the interest dabubblaboy. Hope I can get some completed and post more photos soon.
Thanks for the assessment on the TT Vito. My new heat sink screen configuration stays in place much better.
I'm sure you will get a chance to try the HI.
The Toasty Top does run about 400F chib...
Here is a link to the internals of the Toasty Top. Toasty Top It is the same heating element used by all the manufacturers. My configuration is just a little unconventional. The assembly in the HI is actually one glass insulating bead shorter. I have eliminated the coupling on the outer...
Glad it arrived safely and thanks for the video biojuggernaut. It is a wicked little beast. Great for concentrates. Oil soaked cotton works really well in the Toasty Tubes.
Thanks Garrett518. The HI can be opened up for cleaning like the Toasty Top. It has the same thread-in type heating...
Ordered some 90 degree car power adapters to see how they fit.
Speaking of adapters. Just found they make a 90 degree adapters for the power plug. Going to order some and see how they fit. It may be possible to use a straight plug with the HI.
The screen is just standard pipe screen. It is...
The mesh around the center tube is a 3/4" stainless steel pipe screen with a 3/8" hole punched in the center. The gap between the center tube and the outer sleeve is less than 3/16". I have poked it with a bamboo skewer and it is very solid. Haven't tried dropping it yet, but it should survive...
Thanks SirTokesAlot. I'm still a bit surprised at how small they can be made.
I have yet to try a MFLB. Maybe someday.
I have a heavy hitter unit with an 18mm male glass end that provides approximately 32 watts of heat. It makes vapor that is not quite as dark as the HI which is only around 8...
The poly mouthpiece Toasty Tubes require a ring of silicone for them to fit into a 14mm joint. It works very well.
The biggest difference is the screen size.
The new Toasty Tube uses a 5/16" screen with an opening at the screen of 1/4". Slow "marshmallow" roasting gives the best flavor.
The...
Thanks mrfloopa. I have been enjoying the new glass. It was necessary for testing. The TT, UD, and stainless steel Zap stems will all work with the HI. The PD, WZ, and brass Zap stems may be too small.
Thanks. The bowls sizes are a little different on my various tube configurations. They all give numerous hits depending upon how full you fill them and how slowly you roast. The Turbo Tube has an adjustable bowl size. Just move the silicone sleeve on the poly tubing to get the screen the...
