The man in black, Johnny Cash knew a thing or two about burning desire. But love isn’t the only thing that burns. Sometimes you just want to caramelize the sugar on a crème brûlée or melt some cheese without all the subtext. Enter the Starship Torch.
The incoherence of that lead paragraph is...
What @vapviking said.
You can also stir. Vapelife X’s method is genius and dead easy. I use a variation for all of my stem vapes (after rotating a few times) to cash the bowl so I can toss the ABV guilt-free.
Prohibition habits die hard.
Nice! I’m in VAS remission this year in time for 420. The glass vapcaps are one of the few things on my list.
Did you Telegram him directly to purchase? Every time I go to set up an account, I wind up somewhere else… 😕
It’s nickel all the way through. Any vaporization would presumably begin at the hottest point where the flame hits the cap. The underside would be cooler because of the interfacing stream of air stealing the heat.
Use a small single flame torch and don’t preheat excessively if it’s still a...
Don’t forget that it’s the top of the nickel plate that gets torched. The plate conducts heat to the air beneath, which is drawn in via the intakes on the cap’s underside.
The butane and any nickel fumes are physically separated from the air path by the cap. That was a key objective of the...
Aesthetics matter! I have the short (5”) black stem and use it exclusively.
The visual weight of the black stem is a great counterbalance to the saucer cap. As a unit, it feels complete in hand. The stem is (was?) machined from a hefty block of aluminum, which provides solid cooling— I’ve...
Which is also a way of subordinating your neighbor’s ancient religion to a much more recent and limited, if maximally abhorrent Western code.
You’re basically prioritizing the Nazis’ co-optation of an ancient mystical symbol (also meaningful to Buddhists and Hindus) bc it’s more familiar to you...
Quick shout to say bravo @vapman team for bringing back the Lotus!
These two vapes totally *re-ignited* my love of torch-based vapes and I’m excited to see them under the same roof, esp in your more than capable hands.
Congrats!
I kind of dig that the updates only go out to batch members. It’s like Dan takes each cohort on a shared journey that ends with their very own Nomad II in hand.
Assuming he updates at least the pics for each batch, it’s a new story every time. A cool experience that builds both anticipation and...
Huh. Is it the weight? The fingerprints? Is the grind different in some way?
I feel like there’s an OMD in my future but every time I use my alu BCG, it just grinds so nice. Think the weight is great— substantial but not heavy.
Another solid drop. Really feeling 82 and 91 but the red and black kanji Toads are bold as hell.
Wonder if Toad art correlates with Nomad II production, i.e. more figurative painting when Dan’s shaping Nomad blanks vs more color studies when he’s doing detail-intensive work. Love both styles.
I predominantly use portables native and IME they’re all fine out of the box if you do your homework and get ones that fit your style.
That said, I’m more into artisan makers at typically higher price points. Mass-produced battery vapes seem to come with more trade-offs (whether for taste...
Another low heater fan! My plan was to just try it out for a few weeks and switch back to the high. Two months later, still loving the longer slower sessions.
Whoever said it was worth getting both heaters to have two different vapes for a marginal price increase was right on the money.
