Tracking sent. The manual will not be a tutorial on escribe software. It will be a very basic guide to get your Elite operational. Those who want to take it further will find lots of info from Evolv, that I'll give links to.
I've been ridiculously busy, but February shipping is done. I'll send tracking later today. I've got another few internationals that will go out next week as well, but all orders placed prior to 2/14 are filled.
Good morning Elitists. Tracking numbers will got out today to the lucky 8. Right now I'm working on a comprehensive user manual that should help even the most technologically shy users, as well as provide tips for the techies.
I'm very relieved to have these units ship, and get the process of...
This is a big day for Vapwood.
I worked my ass off to make this happen, but the first 8 have set sail. All units are preloaded with 8 profiles, 4 watt, 4 TC. All units shipped bare bones, except one (who contacted me prior). If anybody in batch one does needs batts or tubes, lemme know, and...
My new Elite Questionnaire
Is the Elite right for you?
Is instant, smooth, tasty vapor important to you?
Are you interested in a totally pure air path, with no contaminants or adhesives?
Do you want your vape to do most of the difficult work for you?
Does almost no maintenance sound like...
Hey All,
RE: pre-programming the DNA75c chip
From the somewhat limited experience I've had programming, it's pretty simple. It includes 8 profiles that can be preset on either your computer or unit itself. Certain basic setting will carry over from profile to profile (ohms). For batch one...
Good morning peeps...
I have a routine doc appt this AM, but then it's in the shop, finalizing, packing up.
@ChooChooCharlie @little maggie
I can tell you that control of the Elite is very simple. Once a few setting are made, profile selected, it all about auto pilot. That's the whole point...
Today I barely had any shop time, damn life gets in the way sometimes, and my to-do list was just too long. I managed to get some final stuff done (battery compartment floors / pick tools). I hope to get everything boxed up tomorrow.
I know we mentioned reliability, and part of that is the...
@little maggie / all fixed. That was just the GoDaddy software. Thank God I'm a better vape builder than web designer.
My VAS is gone, and I can thank Evolv. I never really imagined it could work so well. Finding the perfect resistance (34 ohms) setting was the last bit of *work* I've done...
Originally, I'd planned on shipping 6 first batch Elites, but I got a bit caught up assembling today and got 2 more done. Looks like 8 Elites will ship this week. I still have to final finish each one, as well as double check the board functionality / coil resistance, and flip the screen, not to...
I understand your cynicism. I hope to have all currently paid (or down payment) orders completed and shipped in March. I've eliminated the *Down Payment* option on Vapwood. In the store itself, when you select *Elite*, you'll get the option of either *full* or *partial* payments. Partial payment...
I've mentioned this before, but a few things have gone into putting the Elite out there so quickly. Two thirds of the unit is a Lil' Bud Classic that's been designed and endlessly tweaked. Add to this a DNA75 color control board mounted to a wooden cover plate that fits over the face...
@THeJokEr February batch will ship this week, along with your Walnut unit. I've been building this batch along with the first few Elites, all should ship this week. I'm trying to divide my time between both units, even though the Elite is a slower build process.
This is a pretty batch...
Good morning,
I plan on keeping to my February promise, and whatever I can get assembled by tomorrow, packed up and shipped Wednesday. That will also include about six Classics.
The rest of the batch has already be cut into blanks with mortises and the first hole for the air path. I'm also...
Here's the full batch. Notice the front *live edge* walnut. Not sure if it'll survive all the steps, but I'm gonna try.
TESTING UPDATE
Zero issues, I'm having a grand old time, much different than a year ago, all good, all the time. Here's 10 points I look for in a vape. I'm sure you have...
In the interest of full disclosure, I'd like to reveal my Elite parts, supplies, and tool list, or basically what it takes to build an Elite...

Good day in the shop, 2 final assemblies and 16 units roughed out with battery mortises all done. I put a real dent in the above list. I've got a couple of coils left, so I'll assemble a few more units, then it's coil building time. What's nice about assembling Elites, is the ease of testing...
Good morning Elitists!
The assembly of the Elite involves many steps, and after the last few days of assembly, I realize it's a slower process than the Classic, at least at this point. I do have a couple of ideas to speed things up. If I can preform the 14 gauge wire that comes off the board...
