A thank you to all our veterans, who risk life and limb, today. Please enjoy your holiday. My light box arrived. It was on my front steps when I got home last night in the teaming rain. The box was saturated, but the unit was wrapped in plastic, safe and sound. This should make cool pic taking...

@P.A.M. That's the serial number for your unit, just in case it ever needs any adjustments, I have a page on it (cold ohms, TCR). This current batch will have cold ohms and TCR listed. The light box will arrive today and should make for some really cool pics. I hope to show off the...

@GoldenBud It's a 19/22 wood stem. Got an email from an irate customer who purchased on April 19 (May shipping promised). I shipped his order on Friday. This is some of the disrespectful *bs* I have to deal with. ***And don't give me everything hand crafted bs...you said you shipped recent...

@BestBuds Great question. I have nothing against glass, but I love, love, love wood. In my humble opinion, the wood 19/22 joint allows for a cooler, tastier experience, which usually translates into the user being able to handle bigger hits. When both the female and male are wood, the experience...

The May batch got split, as planned, 10 went today, 15 next week. Most of the units shipped were Classics (tracking will be sent by tomorrow AM). I kept a couple for light box pics, as well as the result of splitting up my international orders (3 this week, 3 next), but these are all were pretty...

Battery life on this thing is sick. Last night I was in my den, reading, working, vaping. I got my battery down to 7% before I realized I needed to change. I did a couple of bowls before heading upstairs. I was about to grab a spare battery for the evening, but realized I'd never need it. I must...

Buff day... While my shop time may be limited today, this final step is quick, and I should have no problem buffing the batch. This will allow me to dive into taking pics first thing tomorrow. It's quite a process, and while I've grown to love it every minute of it, taking the final pics is...

I appreciate that. My vape building is an open book. Today, I've got a lot going on, but not too much to stop the *buff show*. I'm going to attach the buff wheel to my new drill press and have at it. I'm going to be taking new pics for the website as well (and to post here). I need to get...

This mega bath is just about done. Every Lil' Bud Classic on back order, repair, or any other situation is just about ready to ship. I'm about to take some cool pics, then pack up on Friday. Between Classics and Elites, we broke 2 dozen (biggest batch ever). I also have a nice little inventory...

Done and done... All battery floors installed, finish sanded, more heat, buff, buff, buff. While the way LB is finalized (pre-assembly, finish, assembly, re-finish) takes a bit of extra time, but worth it. I could never get this level of finish on a final assembly, but bringing a final assembly...

Good morning boys and girls... No shop time yesterday, but today I'm back at it. The battery compartment floor is covered by a thin wood strip, and it's the very last thing to get installed. Today, I'll cut the strips, and fit each one by hand. Each unit's serial number, cold ohms, and TCR...

And the community continues to push the envelope! Meanwhile, back at Vapwood HQ, I'm barreling through my final assembly of some Classics (Elites done and being final tested) so I can *buff the batch*. I ran into one small hold up, as I need to form a few coils to finish up. No matter, that...

This is what I love about FC, the many minds coming together to advance our *process*. It reminds me of the old firehouse *kitchen table*. It's the place where ideas are shared and all problems solved - utter resourcefulness arising out of dire need. The Elite is the result of just that. From...

Patience is a virtue. Every time my mom said that to me, I cringed. I have naturally have zero patience, and can you blame me? I can order a can of beans on Amazon and have it here tomorrow - literally. Lil' Bud, both the Classic and Elite are totally handcrafted by me. This is not an item that...

Good morning Classics... I do have a bit of PH around. I'd need the old plate to replicate exactly, or better yet, the unit, for a perfect fit. I've started assembling the 12 Classics on this May batch. Once they're done (within a couple of days), I'll do the final buff on all 24 units (Elites...

@madhockeydad your unit is online for testing. I'm about to run case thermal analyzer on it, upload the Elite file, and give it a thorough test. So far nine units have passed testing with flying colors, I'm sure your Maple will be the same. My cold ohms are ranging from about .29 to .31. TCR's...

4 units completed today, 2 Elites (12 in total) 2 Classics (beginning the Classic assembly for this batch of 12). I'm short one Blend, until next month, but I'll have caught up on just about every other outstanding Elite and Classic order up to and including May. This will be a total of 2 dozen...

Lots can be done in the tube!!! @nonbeliever Nice idea with the stepped ID's. I like the narrowing effect of the glass lined tubes. I've been thinking about narrowing the ID to do away with the need for glass, never thought about a baffle. What is the depth of the 8 mm hole? How exactly did...

@nonbeliever I've been trying to upload the file to my website, but they don't accept the file format. For now, just send me an email at vapwood420@gmail.com and I'll attach the file to the return email. For now, anyone who wants the latest file I'm working with, can do the same. Got another...

Building and testing is a nice plan. Testing isn't overwhelming this time around. I've worked out the entire process, and can interpret the results and adjust accordingly, with little hassle. Thermal testing just takes some time. Hey @nonbeliever. I am working on uploading my latest files for...
