Good morning all... Times like these make you think what's important in life. I know my vape building mentor @Alan's philosophy is to make as many people happy as possible. That means treating people fairly, as well as being fair to yourself. VAPWOOD MISSION STATEMENT Make cannabis users...

Thanks everybody, support is really important, and much appreciated. I wound up on the shop for half day yesterday, as it's the only thing that distracts me. I wired boards, normally a job I would have left to a *feel good* day. Suddenly wiring up, testing the board is about the easiest part of...

Thanks for the kind thoughts, really helps... I'll be thinking about my lil' bud too.

Sad, sad news. My little buddy, Reddy, who Lil' Bud is named for, passed this morning. He's been sick since July and had quite a few up and downs. This morning he had a seizure he never came out of. My wife and I are crushed. Just remember him every time you pick up your Lil' Bud.

I couldn't see your images so I reposted and can see it in the quoted post. Thank you so much. The Classic, and the Elite can and will not be held back. I really appreciate the shout outs. One thing I do know, it's a quality product with lots of integrity behind it.

Good morning and happy St. Paddy's day. My sweet spot this morning is starting at 26 watts. How low can we go? I'd like to speak openly and honestly about the Elite pricing. There are always a couple of ways to go, high and low. The benefits of lower pricing is obvious to the consumer, but the...

@caseball2051 I love the Samsung 30Q, and always seem to return to them. Not too hot at 15A, but plenty of legs. Classics are moving well. For now, North American hardwoods of Cherry, Walnut, and Maple are the three choices. All units are available with a standard roasting tube or glass insert...

It's another day in the virtual neighborhood we call FC. Today, a much needed break from the shop. No, the live edge, which needs lots and lots of testing, is not claimed yet. The cover plate is also a bit knotty, gonna look real sweet assembled. As far as the rest of the 15, I will be...

Phew... Another mega day in the shop with my batch of 16. When the batch is that big, everything seems like lots of work, but the pay off is big. The only reason I went with this double batch was to catch up on Elite pre-orders. Right now, it's more like a 30 day wait. Today was still about...

So much to do, literally not enough hours in the day. Yesterday, I had no distractions and got lots done. Fitting and mounting 16 cover plates involves lots of steps. Each unit gets hand fit, then clamped, drilled, tapped, screwed - twice per unit (32 times). Plates, left long, are then cut to...

Nice progress today. 16 cover plates mounted. This have been fit / shaped on the belt / disc sander. Still lots of hand sanding to bring to a polish level finish, as well as soften all edges. The cover plate is basically flush. In this state, I can apply beeswax and get ready for final...

@HerbieVonVapster You and I are finding the same things. I find a slightly clogged screen to be easier to work with. I am going to try a finer mesh as a roasting tube screen. The resistance here does keep things even. I find if I dry, grind, load, tamp right, it can do the same thing. We haven't...

Another productive half day in the shop. Got 17 units / cover plates - all told, ready for pre-assembly phase 2, the mounting of the cover plate. At this point the cover plate can accept the board, all holes finalized, width down to a tight fit. Might still be some slight hand sanding / fitting...

Good morning Elitists... I'm looking forward to more deep level tweaks on the Escribe software. As far as mod resistance, in our case we've eliminated the 510 connector, but we've introduced ring connectors and butt splice connectors, so there is some resistance. I think that .002 or maybe .003...

@HerbieVonVapster Found it under Options / User Interface / Manufacturer / Electrical / Mod Resistance - currently at .004. Haven't changed anything yet, wonder what @Alan thinks about making this adjustment as the manufacturer, and without the 510. Very interesting, as we're really getting down...

Good Morning All. Not too much time in the shop yesterday (or today), but I managed to finalize another half dozen cover plates. I can actually say that the cover plate, my biggest fear, has become somewhat routine. The key is accuracy in the drilling / routing process that makes hand faring...

This early clock change has me thrown off... Woke up with actual muscle aches from too much work. Building cover plates, specifically the creating of the mounting tabs on the underside of the plate, involves about 50 passes over the blade to basically whittle away all waste, for each plate...

Lil' Bud must feel neglected because his little brother is stealing all his thunder. Have no fear Classic lovers, we all know that the Classic laid the foundation that the Elite is built on. Any Classics that are ordered currently will fall into the April batch of Classic / Elites. I will...

I downloaded the international version and latest service pack on each unit. I'm glad you resolved the issue @nonbeliever , and thanks @HerbieVonVapster! Yesterday / today is cover plate day. It's an interesting process. Of course, I'll share it. The idea is to create this custom plate with...
