Thanks for posting the photos gvape. Will get your order out tomorrow. Interesting PD comparison photos. There is quite a bit less wood with the Toasty Top as compared to the PD. You are welcome bio. Didn't want you to go too long without your Toasty Top. I hope the heating element was easy to...

Very well done gvape. Looks like it works very well. You may even be able to put the tip in the other way so it bottoms out at the groove. Does the tubing stop at the groove in either direction?

That is a lot of wood Ed. It will make many beautiful things. Can't wait to see them. I also discovered that Ed's tubes are already set up to accept the stainless steel Toasty Tips. The 1/4" stainless tubing from my glass Toasty Tubes will slide inside of the 9/32" brass tubing. The silicone...

An Ambrosia Maple Toasty Tower would be quite nice stoney. I always enjoy making custom units. It just may take a little longer as I haven't built up a large inventory of special wood yet. Hammerzeit - A short piece of 3/8" silicone tubing slides over the poly tube to provide a seal to the...

There is an electrical connection challenge somewhere. The white rubber power plug should be pushed as far into the wood button as possible. It will fit very snugly. You may need to twist the rubber power plug into the tip. Send me an email if your unit is still getting cold during the day.

I would need the stainless steel bowl part of your Iolite to tap it for the threads on the Toasty Tube. The Iolite has much better airflow with the glass tube on it. You can send me an email if you like. Orestes - I love that your dog likes the Toasty Top. He must find the heat comforting. The...

I have never let having no idea what I'm doing stop me from doing something. I usually figure out a new and better way by not knowing how you are supposed to do it. Glass tubing doesn't have enough mass of glass to worry about slow cooling. Just start heating it slowly. I think you need to get...

Looks great Rick! Nice to see the move to stainless steel. You have made a great product even better. Rattles are a thing of the past. My heat sinks are also pressed into the wood. That is why I don't need a clip. I do have to warn you about something that you may encounter. I was inspecting...

Thanks placetime. Scratch, snap, and polish is all they need. Nice to find a winning combination. Glad you like the new design mom. It will be a breeze to clean.

Bio - I have found that the little side tab in the power socket can sometimes get pushed too far to the side and make poor electrical contact. I use the small blade of a swiss army knife to pry it closer to the center post. I would also recommend operating it 24/7 if possible as opposed to...

Thanks Ed and Bio. I'm very happy with this configuration. The brass and stainless tips both have an inside diameter of 1/4" and use the same screen. The brass is just a bit thinner. The air draw is the same thru either tip. The 1/4" stainless tube still provides the limiting restriction. The...

Thanks biojuggernaut. I'm glad you like it. You will really like the 13mm x 3.5" tubing. It works so well. I'm glad I found it. The fit is just perfect. The orange silicone o-ring ensures the tip fully seats into the tube. The tip un-screws for screen access as usual. The wall thickness is...

I'm going to guess that the wood screws together to capture and hold the heat exchanger tightly in place. It can also be taken apart for cleaning. Kind of like a threaded lid box. Looking forward to see what you have designed whatever it is.

Nice selection of wood Ed. They are gorgeous. The Roll-Ups and Hippy are wonderful. I really like the extra tip storage in the Hippy.

I decided to try my hand at working heavy wall glass tubing. Here is my latest glass Toasty Tube. It is 12mm (1/2" = 12.7mm) Borosilicate w/ 2.2mm thick wall. One end has been enlarged to accept the Toasty Tip. The glass is 3.5" long. It is very heavy duty. It should take quite a bit to break...

I would have needed multiple rings to support the stainless and keep it straight. They moved around too much. Silicone tubing works much better. The trick is getting glass tubing with the perfect inside diameter. I have an idea of what to do. Just need to give it a try. Stay tuned.

Orestes - I'll be sure that you don't miss anything. Friends can send gifts to each other. Glad you like the Tower.

Glad you are liking the silicone rings gvape. I had originally bought them to use for connecting the stainless tube to the glass tube. It didn't work out. They do work well for limiting the depth of insertion of the roasting tube into the heat sink tube. I will start including them with every...

My heat sink is made of a 3/8" stainless steel tube swagged to a stack of washers. There is a 5/16" hole all the way through with no obstructions. 5/16" stainless steel tubing slides smoothly inside of 3/8" tubing, so that is what I use to make my tips. The heater extends into the bottom of the...

Here is a link for the size of the Toasty Tube: Toasty Tube Size What is the outside diameter for the MZ / PD tubes? Thanks
