New code: DIRTY30 saves you $30 sitewide!!!

Let me explain my theory on the way a bowl heats up. Yes, it is a very fine line we walk with pure convection. And the Elite is 100% convection, without a hint of conduction. The coils start out as approximately 1/2 inch x 3 inch ss wire mesh (at a specific gauge and squares per inch), sitting...

Koa is pretty. It's also very dense, and the unit weighs considerably more than say a Cherry unit. I'm sure @P.A.M., you are loving that Koa unit! Today is shop cleaning / organizing day. Mrs. V offered to help, so I'm going for it. I have two shops, one small desk top assembly / electronics...

@Alan knew this was a winner! Yes @P.A.M. , we need all the threads possible, on every forum possible. I'm ready to build, build, build. The more I build, the better the Elite gets. I've mentioned this before, but when you add up the dozens of minor tweaks... well, you're looking at the result...

Remind me @MothChewMoth , what Elite did you get? Are you a Koa guy or a Maple or Waple guy? Thing is, all units were an easy programming (now that I've learned how to let the software do most of the work except the very final hit or two).

Actually 4 mailings today, 3 Elites and some *parts* that were kind of left out. I'm quite the builder, but I suck at packing up. One Elite had the battery floor left out (naked), and I apologize for that. It's the very last thing to get installed (in case I have to take apart, I have screw...

I'm excited a dozen Elites have flown the coupe. I have 3 more slated for tomorrow. Was waiting on some batteries (arrived last night). I'm looking forward to hear what this batch has to say, especially Sneaky Pete. He got what I consider my *signature* Cherry Elite. As awesome as the Elite...

Tracking sent, just about all orders out including an ex-DD, another will go on Wednesday. This includes Sneaky Pete (reviewer). But here's the really good news... Look what I found. I over-assembled on Waple. If purchased in the next 24 hours, I can get it out on Wednesday (already going...

About to go down to the shop and pack up. Not much else going on. Two ex-DD's have sold and need a lil' bit of TLC before I let them go, but that's tomorrow's job. I do have one more cosmetic defect to add to that $200 sale. It's another pretty Walnut unit with a slight breakthrough into the...

Happy Sunday Buffing done, stir tools built, nothing left but labels and packing up. I hit each unit with a drop of heat and buffed by hand and by machine. They definitely look sweet. I had to make some adjustments on the flipped button unit, and testing now. Resistance on this unit is dead...

2 cherry beauties!!! Today was a work day in Manhattan (2 days per week usually), and hot, hot hot. I get to talk with tourists from around the world, actually kinda fascinating. Today was mostly Americans, but a very cool group from Scotland. with that awesome Scottish accent. Good day. Got...

Good Freaking Morning FC!!! Consistency, consistency, consistency... The name of the game. After this last round of testing, I was able to program each unit with the correct case thermals, case resistance, cold ohms, and TCR values, specifically for the Elite (and dry herb vaping). What that...

Hello Classics! My stock of Lil' Bud Classics need some love. In order to make that happen, I'm offering an insane deal on the Classic with 20% OFF using coupon code: CHRISTMASINJULY on all Classic models. I've got stock in Maple, Cherry and Walnut - Bare Bones and Complete

Damn, I zoned on the time limit - my apologies. I am finding consistency in my testing, which is my favorite thing, because it leads to predictability. On that note, testing is just about all done. Monday is our target date for shipping. Here's a pic of my *low mileage* ex DD's I'm letting go...

I'd never want to take away from the *art*. I had some thoughts, like maybe on the back plate, which is like a separate entity. We'll see where it leads, and I can always return it if it doesn't work out. It is a small laser engraver, not for really anything large. In the meantime I just...

Good morning boys and girls and happy 4th of July. The only thing happening today is programming. I'm running case thermal analyzers now. It's a bit of a process but worth it. I've also been toying with the idea of adding a small logo to the Elite (and Classic). I just found a reasonably...

Nice final assembly day in the shop. I had gotten a bug bite on my right ring finger on Sunday, and today it just got itchy and swollen. I usually never go to an urgent care, but I'm actually a bit paranoid about the hands (lots of Lil' Buds to build), and when I packed up I headed there. In and...

Good morning FC'ers. I can't help but read around the internet forums to see what people are saying about their vapes - likes, dislikes. It helps keep me informed on trends, successes, and failures. When I read many of the complaints I can't help but think to myself how the Elite might solve...

Not a big response on the flipped fire button. I plan on making another for me to test, as this one is spoken for. I actually wound up liking the internal wiring adjustment, but of course we'll need to see how it all works out function wise. I apologize for not making the July 1 deadline on...

I flipped the fire button, successfully. I may have to do some minor adjustments on the screen placement, but installation is complete. I haven't tested yet, but resistance was within normal range. What this means internally is longer 14 gauge wire to the coil. It actually worked out pretty...
