Break time... I set up my new drill press, and got another Elite (Waple) assembled. I've got about 3 more to go in this batch before I switch over to Classics. Testing also continues to go well today. Cold ohms are what they are, but we're coming in at a pretty consistent .29 average. I'm...

Good morning fellow cannabis lovers. Raining, cold here in NY. I've got a couple of appointments this AM, but in the shop for my typical hard core 5 hour day. I've also been testing the new units out, running thermals, arriving at optimal TCR's, getting good results with less fuss. I guess this...

You know how much I love wood (*That's what she said*). Thanks mate!

Happy Mother's Day. For those of you who might be interested, my Mom's birthday was 4/20. Destiny. Nice bun fight last night... Great time with family. Good food, conversation. I slipped out on my deck a few times. Funny, we're still not at the point I can't just *blaze* in front of everyone...

It's all about the wood, *that's what she said*. This AM, I am running case thermal testing once again on all the different wood species I build with. It's the first step in prepping this batch for delivery. This time around I have Maple, Koa, and Waple, in addition to Cherry and Walnut. My...

The result of a good days work. These will go through the paces, while assembling the rest of the batch. They will get one more blast of heat and final buff.

Hey Classics! Lately I've been working at building inventory. Regardless of sales rates, I'm building both Classics and Elites. The inventory right now stands at about 50 units in pre-assembly. That's a combination of Classics and Elites in Walnut, Cherry, Maple that are about 45 minutes from...

Good Morning Gang, Thermals being run on my Maple Elite. So far, seems very on par with Cherry / Walnut. Of the 3, cherry may be the least dense, but not by too much. I'd expect a different result with Koa or Purple Heart. Both woods are dense and heavy, and that has got to change things up a...

Hey All Long day, wife had a *procedure*, all good, but shop time cut a bit short. I'm set on the vent holes at two 1/8 holes, and that figured maple unit has been upgraded. Vents for the board compartment are 1/16. I also grooved the floor of the board compartment with a couple of little kerfs...

Got one Figured Maple Beauty assembled yesterday afternoon. I went with two, 45 degree 3/32 vent holes, but need to open things up a bit, as it's slightly restricted. I'll probably open them up a hair to get the result that pairs best with the Elite. I'm going to assemble one Maple, Walnut...

Good morning gang, I just spent that last hour on my website, cleaning up, tweaking, polishing. I never count the non-shop time towards work hours, but it's at least equal to shop time. I actually enjoy writing, creating, editing. I need a life! The ten percent off gets the Elite bare bones...

It's at the end of a long day working in Manhattan, but finally it's Lil' Bud time. Nice to know I can just clean out a tube, and count on that quick and simple, tasty vapor. I'm cruising along on my personal fave - Booster / 25 watts / preheat at 5. So much so fast. I'm still the captain of...

If you saw the list in my previous post, you know it's always shopping time at Vapwood. To fund this *spree*, I'm offering a little sale. Use coupon code: STOCKED, and save 10 percent site wide on all Elites and Classics. I need magnets, wood, solder, wire, and I could always use some more...

I noticed I rushed a drying sesh, and I definitely got a bit harsher vapor. My throat is pretty sensitive, and hint of a biting feeling is picked right up. Dry right, make a perfect espresso puck. It's worth it in pure flavor and super smooth vapor with zero bite. You saw the list in my...

I just broke my record on coil forming. I got over 20 coils, from scratch, formed in 2 half days of work. All told, I have over 25 (15 Elite / 12 Classic). Even though they are the same exact coil, the Elite leads are much shorter, as the board is wired with it's own 14 gauge wire that marries...

*PROJECTED* ship dates... As most of you know, I tend to go to the post office once per month with a large order, and maybe once or twice with some stragglers in between. That's not going to change, but having stock will allow me to reduce the overall wait. @Alan 's HI / iHeat set quite the...

Of my 50 plus units (Elites and Classics) being worked on, 20 are sold. This includes a couple of replacements. That's 12 Classics and 8 Elites all told. These units will now be assembled and shipped, hopefully by mid to end of May. Any units purchased this upcoming week will be included in this...

Back spazzed out on me. Happened yesterday AM, got a bit worse today. I think it's from standing at my nieces track and field meet for a few hours in the cold on Friday night. I feel like a big wimp. I soaked all my glass stems in almond milk, about 6. They were embarrassingly caked with resin...

Just shopping for parts. One of the hats I wear is *buyer*. It's kind of amazing what goes into fueling an active Lil' Bud shop. While keeping a quality supply of wood is most important, it's probably the easiest thing to stay on top of. There are also tools that need to be maintained...

Hey All, The flipped cover plate was an accident. With this design, I should have no problem flipping it back in the final assembly. The problem with flipping the fire button is the 14 gauge wire (vs 18) that will now have to travel the length of the board (behind the board), necessitating a...
