    Discontinued The Timber Elite by Vapwood

    Alan is done with the buttons! I've ordered more boards and screens. I've got Cherry, Walnut, Maple, and a bit of Koa. Assembly has been figured out. I'm almost finished up this batch of Classics, and just about ready to start full blow Elite production. Ahh...

    Good morning Elitists! It's just past 6 AM, and I'm hooked on 27.5 watts and .34 ohms, with a wide open 18 mm short tube for full suction. All cooling is controlled by the board, so the short wide open tube is super smooth. My unit barely gets warm to the touch, there is such an efficient use...

    First let's answered the center tube question. My goal was to make the board compartment only as big as necessary, which I pretty much did with maybe a mm to spare, and that serves to keep things cooler. It 14 mm deep. The battery compartment depth is super set in stone, can't get any more...

    The Elite design is complete and it is officially for sale. This week, as I wait for the remainder of Elite specialty parts, I am about to finalize the February batch of classics, which is about half done. I still have a decent inventory of Maple, Cherry, Blended Classics that could get into...

    Tube is more centered, but sill not dead center. It's obviously right above the coil. The bottom cap comes off without disassembling the unit. I can actually run it with no bottom cap (it's like a car hood) makes for easy upgrades / checks / fixes. Rotating the coil 90 degrees is turning out...

    So much figured out here. I've been hitting on this old school, 18 mm full hit, short stem. Due to the need for a couple of mm's on the board side, the unit is a hair longer, and I'm able to sink the tube deeper, for an overall shorter unit. I've rotated the coil, and this allowed a much more...

    I figured out another tweak to make final assembly less fussy. The wires that come from the coil get ring connectors attached, as do the coil wires from the board. In the wire box screw connections are made. I've been leaving the coil wires about an inch long, but I think I'm going to shorten...

    What fun would that be? Just about every new build sees some type of tweak. Why not? The whole point is to build the best possible vape with my current skills and resources. If you don't constantly improve and upgrade that will never happen. It can't just be about profit. Like the slogan says...

    Thanks for the suggestions. I worked out some stuff on this rebuild. Notice the fit of the cover pate, totally flush, nice feel. Set screws look pretty cool. This guy still needs some buffing up, but looking good.

    Put in way too many hours today, and got a brand new Elite for my efforts. Here's what I accomplished. 1. Cover plate attachment - I've mastered the tapping holes in wood process, looks real nice, great for finishing, allows me to do so much more machine sanding in pre-assembly. You'll...

    And that is exactly why Alan got the second prototype. Following the simple instructions and I can't believe the size of the hits while being so cool. This really integrates the temp control element into the wire mesh coil. I wound up getting crazy good cool hits without stirring at 34 watts...

    When I angled the vent holes, I found I didn't need the third hole. I'd advise against adding another hole, plus it's tricky once the coil and foil are installed. This week is gonna be an Elite / Classic split as far as work goes. The Classic still represents the absolute most bang for your...

    Thanks @P.A.M. @Stu @pakalolo. The Elite is now officially on sale at vapwood.com! Today I formed 20 cover plates. The plan wasn't to to build so many, but once the saw is set, planer is set, drill press is set, it doesn't take much longer to do 20 than 6 or 10. Mostly Cherry, this is the...

    I want to move this thread to the regular portable forum. Do I need a moderator for that? I wish there were more hours in the day, because at the end of the day I always want to accomplish more. I normally work til about 5 or so (not a night guy), but always have that feeling of not getting...

    Best bet for any tube order is to contact Alan directly. He can make just about anything you can dream up. The glass lined cooling tubes really tame LB, and adds a nice smooth element to the vaping experience. Time for some even sweeter deals that can ship in February... $140 bare bones...

    Another big day in the Elite shop, especially when it comes to wiring up the board and installing the screen, which a very delicate task. Over the last few months, I've dealt with issues here, and I've worried this might be a sticking point for me. I had a few casualties (pretty expensive to...

    You're gonna have a ball with this. It's literally a *no brainer* for either simplicity or complexity. It just makes a good hit / session easier to be had. Another aspect is battery and weed efficiency. It seems like it is kinda intuitive to gradually bring the session from gentle to powerful...

    I used to have a couple of J-hooks, and always wanted to give that a try. What I'd love to try, is a bent stem. I've been thinking about how to accomplish that. I'm sure @Alan has given it some thought as well. While I'm fantasizing, let's make it 4 inch long, all wood, with one gentle bend...

    I have a couple of glass lined tubes that are quite ready for cleaning. I'm not sure I can do this tomorrow, but I want to. When it comes to edibles, I'm not sure if I ever really got *high*, maybe relaxed and sleepy. I have a NYS medical card, and I get oil drops and under tongue capsules that...

    What an effing day in the shop. I had a couple of appointments after the I hit the gym this morning (back in the gym, yay!), but wound up with 4 good hours of shop time. As you all know, I've got 15 pre-assembled Elites that look like they will make the final cut, and will be finished and put...
