    Silver Surfer Vaporizer

    You might try placing the mouthpiece and tubing in a cup of boiling water to soften the tubing. Water will work as a lubricant as well.

    The Toasty Top

    I saw you mention Trippy Tips on another post Orestes and found he is from Colorado. I really like his work. I thought what could be better than a Trippy Tip on a Toasty Tube. It would be perfect for a Toasty Top. So I contacted him. Hopefully we can work something out. I would like to talk with...

    Ed's TnT Wooden Vapor Tubes & Vapor Stems

    I really like the idea of a hemp travel / storage case for your wooden tubes Ed. Would love to see you sell them. The bloodwood tubes are very beautiful. It is a nice turning wood.

    The Toasty Top

    Orestes - Sorry to hear about your glass tube. You do have to treat them with care. It is best not to take them apart for cleaning. Cotton swabs and alcohol will clean up anything left in the tube after rinsing with alcohol in the protective poly tube. I do sell replacement glass tubes for $10...

    Iolite vaporiser

    I wanted more air flow and to eliminate the plastic mouthpiece on my Iolite. So, I modified it. The bowl was re-tapped to accept my glass Toasty Tube mouthpiece. It hits really well now. I have also started refilling the butane each time I use it. The hits are always as strong as they can be...

    Ed's TnT Wooden Vapor Tubes & Vapor Stems

    I don't currently plan to make larger diameter stems like Ed makes. Maybe I can trade Ed some Toasty Tube tips for some wood. Some people may like cigar size tubes for their Toasty Top. Ed makes very nice wood tubes.

    The Toasty Top

    The mod to the Iolite consists of tapping the existing hole in the stainless bowl for 1/4" - 28 threads per inch. That is all that needs to be done to the Iolite so the Toasty Tubes will fit. The 1/4" SS connector on the glass Toasty Tube needs to extend slightly more to reach into the Iolite...

    The Toasty Top

    Can't be having any cracked tubes Orestes. I will send you a replacement wood mouthpiece. The oak is a bit more susceptible to cracking due to the grain structure. I had to throw away a beautiful black and white ebony mouthpiece recently because it cracked. I'm sure Ed knows the challenges of...

    The Toasty Top

    Thanks gvape - Your Toasty Top is on the way. Can you ever have too many vaporizers? Looks like you have a very nice selection. You should be able to do a good comparison of the Toasty Top.

    The Toasty Top

    guardian - I do take paypal if you would like to order one. The wood for a Toasty Top is approximately 2.75" x 2.75" x 3.5". I like to keep the diameter at or larger than 2.75", so that piece may work. I may be up for some custom work. Thanks

    The Toasty Top

    There have been some questions asked regarding having too much amperage available for the Toasty Top. Here is an analogy to better understand power, voltage and amperage. Power is the amount of water you can force through a certain size pipe as it falls from a waterfall. Voltage is the height...

    The Toasty Top

    I put one of the poly mouthpiece into some 3/8" silicone tubing from my easy vape and the outside diameter measured 13mm. A short section of 3/8" silicone tubing on the end of a poly mouthpiece tube may work with a 14 mm gong. Wish I had a 14mm gong to try. The outside of the 3/8" silicone...

    The Toasty Top

    The outside diameter of the roasting tube is approximately 0.313" Orestes - have you tried the Marshmallow Roasting technique to get more hits?

    The Toasty Top

    I'm glad you are pleased with your Toasty Top Orestes. I forgot to tell you how deceptive the first hit can be. Many people trying it for the first time don't think they are getting anything until it is too late and they have taken too big of a hit.

    The Toasty Top

    Thanks Ed - Thought you would appreciate the roasting tube tips. I wanted to make it as easy as possible to clean. Lycanthrope - The "break in" is a very interesting question. Have been wondering that too. This design will cause some charring of the wood. It is unavoidable. This is why I prefer...

    The Toasty Top

    Rick - I plugged the .5 amp power supply while it was hot, but then later tried it from a cold start. It did heat it up to the same temp, but it is not quite as hot as the 1.5 amp power supply. You can get vapor from it but it is not as quite as thick when comparing with the 1.5 amp. I will...

    The Toasty Top

    Rick - I have always thought that the heater (identical to the Zap, WZ, and PD) required a minimum of.8 amps as well. That is what the calculation shows anyhow. I was also concerned the transformer would be overloaded and overheat. That is why I never tried it. Have been running it on the .5 amp...

    The Toasty Top

    The Toasty Top pictured in the first post is the one I sent to mom and she is correct about the tiger stripped maple. I only had enough for a few tops. I need to find some more. Kelblow - I am looking into what hurdles there might be or what can be done to get over them.

    Thanks Jeff! I will get it right out to you. I hope you will enjoy it.

    The Toasty Top

    Thanks for the answers on the tubes mom. I have been playing with some high temp food grade silicone o-rings on the outside of the roasting tube. The o-ring only lets the roasting tube so far into the heat sink tube. The o-ring can be slid down the roasting tube as you push it farther into the...
