Hello and good morning everyone, I hope all is well out there!
@Armerad I think you would be happy with a super short Blackwood Solo stem, they are very durable and should last a lifetime. I know @MileHighLife has gotten one from me and would know how they perform, maybe he will stop by and...
@KidFated. Hell yeah bro, thats what I wanted to hear! I am really glad to hear it fit and is working well for you! Thanks for the kind words, I do so appreciate them and you. I hope you enjoy that piece for a long time to come and wish you all the best. If I can ever do anything for you in the...
@KidFated. I am glad you made it back and hope you had a great time! I just checked the tracking info for your piece and show its close, you may have it today! I am just hoping it will fit your UD, I dont think I have ever made any specifically of the UD so am not a 100% it will fit. If it...
@Sonics420 Thanks for the kind words and the post bro, I am just as anxious to get em out there for you all. I do think they are a great accessory for the ascent and make it a hellova lot more durable. The wood species I am using is so dense it feels like glass to the touch. I think you will be...
Sure it would be good to get the info however possible! I have one of the first Nanos, I am thinking I could make a stem for it and just see how it performs. Once we find out what some of the newest Nanos sizes are I could adjust to those dimensions. I am gonna think on it this morning and may...
@overvaped I think cypress being a soft wood species mighta had something to do with it warming up rather quickly. I typically only use dense species, the cypress was the softest I have ever done. The metal bushing would have something to do with it. Usually all the bushings wall thickness are...
I really dont think its gonna involve a lot of trouble, I would just mimic the Ascent gong stem like this one below.
I already have the tooling to do this, just gotta make time is all. Should be easy peasy!
Good morning!
@friedricey thing is I had a guy that made those for me, I sent him the wood and he made the bats. He did good work and I didnt have time at the time to do everything, I got em for a good deal. He quit doing them for me a while back, not sure what happened but the guy flaked out...
Good thinking Vito, you are exactly right! Thanks for the post!
I am really having a good time experimenting with the Ascent. Its hits are smooth and solid, I am still not blowing hella clouds but am really feeling the vapor. The taste is good, I dont have anything with a potent flavor. What I...
Hmm, I did not know of this change to the Solo, thank you for the post and letting me know! I would think that the way you pack the stem would make the most difference when using the wooden stem, even with the larger airflow holes in the Solo and the notches in the metal bushing. The tighter the...
@Pinnacle Pro right on glad you got one from Randy, I hope you enjoy it and am anxious to hear your thoughts of my work! I am excited to get some of these Ascent stems out there to see how you all feel about them.
Thanks for the post and the kind words, they very appreciated!
@Reflections no Solo, say what??? No sweat, I should have the Ascent stems available soon, pls hang in there with me on them. As far as the ENano goes I am not making any for it at the moment. I have spoken to Andy about it a while back but havent heard anything back from him on it. He mentioned...
Hmm I am not sure what they are gonna charge, these are going to PIU, you will have to get with Randy and see. They will be shipping to him on the 17th so he will probably have them for sale not long after. I know he is excited to get them!
Hello and good morning, I am so happy with my progress this last week, I have gotten so much done! I turned a bunch of granadillo solo stems that will be going out to vendors soon and even started making a solo stem from a new species. It will be an exclusive species for one of my vendors, its...
I am still trying to figure #'s and costs of the pieces. They do take some time to make, each has to be precise and fit within each other without hesitation. You would think for $500 you would get alot of wood for that but thats not the case with the Blackwood, its not cheap stuff and is getting...
@nigel thanks for stopping by, 1st off I feel the wood is easy to clean. The outer stem has a rather large draw hole, its the same size as the hole in the glass stem. You could simply dip a cotton swab in some ISO and squeeze out the excess then swab the inside of the stem. Neither stem should...
@Sonics420 Thanks for stopping by and the kind words bro! Holla at me via email/ed@edstnt.com and lets talk about getting you a set. Not sure anyone knows about these or not, pls spread the word for me!
