***Look ma, no mod!***
With the concept of a 510 dry herb vape and an e-cig mod box, on demand convection vaping has exploded. By introducing the DNA 75C board to the Lil' Bud, we basically put a mod box into a wooden body. If you break down the Elite into its main components, you have 1)...
PM REPORT
Came up a bit short, no beeswax today, but I got 15 units ready for the wax. Coil prep (just banging out 15) used to be quite intimidating, very tedious, but my solder, coil skills have dramatically improved over the past year or so, and it's gotten easier. Got all my coil wires...
Is Koa the new Walnut?
Not one Walnut! I'm kind of shocked, but looking back over the June batch, I don't have one Walnut order, Elite or Classic. Problem is (or good news), I have quite a bit of Walnut (and Cherry) inventory. It's Walnut and Cherry that need to be deep in inventory, the old...
Nice relaxing day in the assembly shop. Cover plates found homes. The fit is exceptional, and there are lots of little reasons for that vs one big reason. Pretty much every process was tightened up a hair. In the end, it ads up to what you see in the pic below. I managed to increase the depth of...
Love reading the *20 answers*...
People's likes and dislikes are always so different. Here's mine.
Mode: Watt Booster
How much flower? Fill screen bowl about .08g
I store in C Vaults with Boveda 62, then dry and grind
How often? Pretty much most of the day
I get about 8 sessions per battery...
You guys want a 20 question raffle drawing? How about a $50 single use coupon code to the winner (good for six months)? PM me that you answered the 20 questions and are in the raffle. I'll have Mrs. Vapwood draw out of a hat over the weekend. This coupon code cannot be used retroactively.
All...
I just updated the website to reflect the assembly / shipping change on all orders from here forward, to July. I'll actually extend June shipping until midnight tonight for anyone who's been on the fence, maybe thinking about purchasing.
Cover plate progress...
Good morning FC
IT'S TIME FOR 20 QUESTIONS
What's your favorite way to use an Elite, TC or power?
How much do you usually load?
How do you prep you product?
How many times a day do you use your Elite?
How many loads do you get from a relatively new battery?
Do you stir?
When do you swap...
Today was *file and hand sand cover plate* day. I had 40-ish (I threw in a few extra) to hand finish, meaning squaring up the routed holes (USB and screen), while opening up the round holes (buttons). A small fine tuning of my jig has resulted in a lot less work fine tuning the plate itself. I...
"The facts, just the facts mam." - Sgt. Joe Friday, Dragnet
One more fact... the 15% off coupon code (nowaple) and chance to be in the end of June batch has been extended for a couple of days. Once pulled, it'll be mid to end of July for the next assembly / shipping.
Good morning boys and girls...
It's almost time to pull the plug on June sales. My goal was to produce X of amount of sales, and I've hit X - 2, so it'll stay open for a few more days. Once I hit the number, or by the latest June 20, final assemblies begin, but I'm jumping ahead of the game...
Happy Father's Day!!!
@MothChewMoth Code fixed. *nowaple* will work until midnight tonight. That *dirty* maple isn't easy to come by, and I can only seem to find it locally. I'm going to be taking another trip to the lumber yard to see if I an get some more. It's not expensive, just hard to...
What's cool about the Elite @PaperClouds is the ability to adjust everything, even that. With the escribe software, you can set cut off time. Pre set from the factory it is 10 seconds, but I set it to 20. Many of the factory settings have been tweaked (thanks to @HerbieVonVapster ) specifically...
Cover plates all routed and drilled, all told about 50 plates with screen hole (3 router passes), usb port (3 router passes), 4 buttons holes (drilled), and a charging light hole (drilled). I spent most of the day on this. I still need to route out the under belly of the plate to form the...
That set up makes for a nice pic, of wood, on wood, with wood.
The number one cosmetic improvement has come from the belt sander, or rather my ability to utilize this vital wood-vape shop machine. With anywhere from 80 to 400 grit, I'm normally at 220 or 320. Even though 220 is fine, our vapes...
Now's the time, the 15% off coupon code ends in a day or two. The Classic is just that, a classic. Our old comparison was the Lil' Bud Classic was a lot like an old, four on the floor, muscle car. Now we can add that the Elite is very much like a luxury SUV. Both have their place.
Not that I didn't realize how much of an *all-in-one* the Elite is, but I've never really mentioned it before on the forum. I had a conversation with a vape retailer the other day, and that was his take on it, what sets us apart. The Elite is quite unique, pretty much the vision of @Alan...
For the first few months of the Elite's existence, the Classic has out sold it two to one. Recently, the tide has turned, and while some Elite *sales* have driven things, the growth of the Elite is bound to exceed the niche market of the Classic. I'm happy to say, the Classic has benefited from...
Good early morning!!!
Today, is going to be one productive day in the shop. In addition to finishing off the shaping of mega-mega batch, it's time to start work on cover plates. While I've gotten quite efficient at forming the intricate cover plate, I need to make at least 30, and that's a lot...
