That is one of the prettiest vapes I've built to date. I love the figured or *dirty* maple. I have some of that left, but not much. I'm got that locally, at my friendly neighborhood exotic hardwood shop.
I want to move some Timber Elites, get a few in circulation. If I were a used car salesman...
yeah, you picked that up... It will be too logical not too.
In the meantime, back on the Timber Elite front. Customers are awesome, full of great ideas, suggestions.
Customer requests Timber E that are in the works!

Good morning Elitists!!!
It's been an interesting ride over the past couple of years. We built our ranks with LB Classics, LB Elites, and Timber Elites (Timber Classic to follow). I've learned lots, every step of the way. I think at this point, we have something for everybody.
AVAILABLE FOR...
Many sharp minds on this forum, this thread. I realized that I wasn't dealing with a bunch of children right from the beginning. Timber E or Lil' Bud E, an individual decision.
Elite Comparison: LB vs Timber
DIMENSIONS
LBE: 3 7/8" tall x 3" wide x 1 1/8" thick
TE: 6" tall x 1 3/4" wide x 1...
The thing about the Elite or Timber Elite is I can't just turn out prototypes, as parts are pricey. So today, I broke down prototype one, applied the latest tweaks, and put together P3. I crunched the numbers, literally, and got it at exactly 6 inches in height (1 3/4 wide / 1 1/8 thick). There...
Timber Elite measurements right now stand at:
155 mm or 6 1/8 tall / 48 mm or 1 3/4 wide / 29 mm or 1 1/8 thick
"Those that are complaining about the height of the Timber Elite should just get a LB Elite. There will be a lot who like the smaller cross section to make it easier to hold. If you...
Timber Elite - Prototype #2, and probably the last prototype. I think we've nailed it. Still needs some final finish work, but all specs are holding up.
Little known fact about Bravesst - published author...
So today I'll assemble Timber Elite prototype #2. It's gonna look purdy. For now, I've settled in on a $269 price tag for a bare bones unit. I'm only building in Cherry/Walnut right now (select Cherry when checking out), and there is a 10%...
I had to get in there once again today, more to really ingrain the build process into my brain, while implementing a few needed tweaks.
TWEAKS
1. Shorten coil box by 1/4 inch resulting in the unit shrinking by the same amount
2. Adjusted location of screws from bottom to top section
3. Adjusted...
The Timber Elite is a cool running device. She's built like a 2 x 4, and can take the heat. I found myself leaning on the trigger with no worries. I am going to incorporate some things I've learned with this Timber body, into the Lil' Bud Elite.
Difference One
The coil is identical, but it's...
Thanks for the suggestion. I have 2 pretty pocketable vapes, the LB Classic and Elite. I am being up front on the Timber, not for your pants pocket (unless you're trying to impress somebody - sorry, bad joke). I envision this vape as lying on its side on my end table, arm of my chair. I see it...
Damn, it's all in the details. I tried a few variations, but it came down to what's inside this bad boy.
Timber Elite Functional Prototype #1 - I just posted a 10 second video on my IG account.
First observations is 100% Elite. If there is a difference, the board is cooler (escribe software)...
Gorgeous piece of vaping art @VoidOfCourse !
This morning, my vape building brain hurts...
Waiting on the Sneaky Pete review, think he may be on vacation
Trying to nail down the final Timber Elite design
My side project with @Alan has been sidetracked by a package not arriving for one week...
Just went on a shopping spree for some random stuff.
18 gauge stranded copper wire
14 gauge stranded copper wire
solder tips
cherry blanks
Always something to buy...
Today, the heat is gone, and I'm working in Manhattan most of the day. That means train time and deep thinking. I want to...
Nice, a heated debate!!!
My motivation for calling the new Timber a Timber Elite is how it will perform. I expect it to be 100 percent an Elite in performance. Thread discussion, I would think, would be mostly about performance and usage vs form, hence both can be interchangeably discussed here.
The Timber Elite is a reconfigured Elite. It should function very much like the Elite - same coil, same battery, same board, just stacked. It's an Elite in a new shape.
Speaking of which, I am not going to have a Timber Elite prototype to show today. I have family in from Florida, and I have...
Good morning Elitists!
I am really considering merging the Timber Elite and Elite threads. The Timber Elite may better be described as the Elite Timber... FC mods, can I simply merge Timber into this thread ( @pakalolo )? Maybe we can rename this thread The Elite by Vapwood. Anyone have a...
I hear ya @YaMon , nothing is out of the question, but for now, we're working on Timberrrrr... He's a tall boy, and not afraid to admit it. All kidding aside, the Timber will evolve heavily over the next few weeks. The unit is basically shaped like a roof timber.
Today I attempted my first...
Sweet, sweet pics @VoidOfCourse - summer is awesome for those great outdoor shots. @P.A.M. , I want that e-bike!!!
The next batch of Elites and Classics will ship the week of August 12. I'll cut it off 2 weeks prior (next Sunday), giving me ample time to assemble this small batch. Cool things...
