    The HI

    Here is a video I took this morning using a Turbo Tube in my new MIO. Clouds up quite nicely. HI Test As far as fundamental differences with the Dog. I don't believe that the outer sleeve on the Dog gets hot enough to char the wood. Dave's design has that covered. No worries there. The main...

    The HI

    Thank you everyone. Placetime is pretty close to how I think. I do like to take things to the extreme sometimes to see what will happen. Safely of course. You just never know until you try. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Thanks DRFiff. The warranty will be the same as with the Toasty...

    The HI

    Thanks placetime. There is really nothing to see. Just an empty tube. Holes drilled in the side of the center tube base for the air path. Very simple. Very little drag. The heating element is just my standard thread in design.

    The HI

    Thanks Elluzion, SF Giant, and charliedontsurf. This photo is a progression of the HI. Started with a chunk of tiger maple and a black locust base. This one has star washers on the center tube. Next I turned an integral base form from a purpleheart branch. The slot for the cord goes through a...

    The HI

    Thanks Sourhunter. The power supply will accept 240 volts. Just needs a plug adapter. Thanks for being patient while I got these developed psyshaman. Shouldn't be much longer. Working on a batch of core tubing today. I'm not sure of the exact temperature at the bowl steiner666. Draw speed will...

    The HI

    Thanks max. I hope everyone enjoys them as much as I have been. You are welcome ilovebOObs. The quick heat up time is so nice. Being able to leave it on all the time is nice too. I'll have one waiting for you after the first of the year. Thanks Calvin. Let me see if I can get a video put...

    The HI

    Found another use for those Toasty Top stands. They make great stem caddies. The stem on the left is the new Toasty Tube. It has two 5/16" ss tubes connected together with a 3/8" ss coupling that also captures a 5/16" screen. It has a full 1/4" bore with no reduction of size at the screen. The...

    The HI

    Introducing the Heat Island (HI) vaporizer. A new approach to direct draw convective vaporizers. The heart of the HI is a ceramic heating element that is identical to the one in the Toasty Top and several other direct draw convective vaporizers. It operates from a 12 volt power supply and...

    Edge brownies

    This is my first post in the CWC section. I was making some brownies and thought about those fancy pans that give you all edge pieces. There must be an easy and cheap way. So, I buttered up 4 heavy glasses and placed them into the baking pan with the batter. I twisted them until there was very...

    Discontinued MagickWand Vaporizer

    I have found that you can take the glass bowl / tube from an easy vape / box vape and place a ring of 3/8" silicone tubing on the end where the whip goes, it will fit perfectly into a 14mm gong. This will give you an 18mm female joint / bowl for the MW. They are very cheap and plentiful. I just...

    The Toasty Top

    Sorry for the silence. Have been busy at work on the new design. Shouldn't be much longer. Will make a post about it soon. Thanks for hanging in there.

    PLENTY Vaporizer

    They have been making vaporizers for a very long time. I can't see why it wouldn't taste at least as good as a Volcano. The roasting chamber is undoubtedly stainless steel like the Volcano. It appears the silicone tubing is just connecting the stainless steel roasting chamber to the stainless...

    PLENTY Vaporizer

    Has the look of a volcano in profile. Wonder if that double helix will fit onto a volcano. I see they are using high temp silicone to seal the SS tubing. Great idea for convective cooling. The surface area of the stainless tubing is tremendous. Much like AC cooling coils. I wonder if there is a...

    The Toasty Top

    That is very sad news gvape. I'm very sorry. Looks like I will have to send you a replacement unit. It may not look as stunning as that wood, but it should out perform it.

    The Toasty Top

    Thank you psyshaman for the kind words. I do enjoy devising new options and designs. It is nice to have variety in life. I hope to provide some more soon.

    The Toasty Top

    I am using them both about 50% of the time. I can't decide which I like better. The Turbo Tube is nice because I can just put un-ground material in it and then smash it down as it becomes crunchy. The tube is also nice because you can squeeze it to crunch up / stir the material. I have to say...

    The Toasty Top

    Sorry to hear you didn't get to try any of the tubes gvape. I thought one set was for you. Here is a photo of the new tip assembly. I have it installed in an 18mm gong tube but it can be installed in either wood, poly, or glass. It consists of two pieces of 5/16" SS tubing coupled with a piece...

    The Toasty Top

    Here is the Teak Tower and Mahogany Tops I sent to gvape. The Tops are running about 390-400. The Tower is 410 plus. I cried when I pressed the stainless steel sleeve into the wood of the Tower and heard what sounded like a crystal ting. The wood had cracked slightly. It appears to have released...

    The Toasty Top

    Thanks J.R.R.Tokin'. Send me an email and we can talk. Nothing like a good hand warmer for the holidays.

    Underdog Log Vapes

    Did you mean Silcon brand silicone? That is all I purchase. Have not noticed an odor when subject to high temperatures like I have with other brands.
