Hey Gandalf - while I can't say definitively I would guess that the mixed results are a result of variations in your power grid. Many people experience a high grid voltage during times that use of the grid is low (like night, or holidays when industry is shut down) and drops during high use...
@ darkrom - lol good point re: Apple haha
@ Gandalf - thanks for the feedback dude, glad you're enjoying your Pup
@ DrPiff - the stock power supply is unregulated so its output changes as your local line voltage does which means the heat will move around as well. A VVPS is the best way of...
Well I put it on my official 'to-do' list so hopefully I won't forget about it or put it off too long.. I figure I best hurry before you start fining me for overdue carbon. :p
Shipped out a few more pieces today and had some time to play with my R&D toys so maybe I'll manage to build that...
Hey Foggy thanks for the order.. I'll send it out first thing tomorrow and you're not too far away so you should probably have it in a day or two.
@ darkrom - thanks for the update dude, glad to hear you've got your setup all dialed in now.. all that vapory trial and error must have been some...
Nope, shouldn't be any noticeable difference in temp or taste between Ash and Maple Dogs. Maple has a smoother finish while Ash has a more contrasting grain pattern so they each have their pluses and minuses style wise but not functionally.
@ Gandalf - glad I was able to answer your questions dude and thanks for the order, I'll send it out tomorrow. Beautiful piece you picked out BTW, one of my favorites.
@ Foggy Mornings - which Maple Twig are you thinking of? Let me know the # or post a link and I'll give it a triple-check...
@ SM - yeah it's entirely possible that you've got a questionable plug.. there's probably a good solid hundred of them out there in the wild now since I've been using this batch of plugs. Any that become too problematic I'll just have to replace, it's not really black and white since not all of...
The problem is with the socket on the vapes which I believe is counter-intuitively (to me sometimes at least) is considered a male plug (because of the center pin).
@ VisiblyVaped - Hi dude, welcome to the community. I'll let some others answer the vapor question for you since I'm obviously...
Hey sunsett - looking good dude, I like your setup and the Dogs of course. How do you like that big bubbler compared to the small one? I only have a little one and am trying to decide if it's worth getting another, larger one. Sorry you're also having troubles with your plug, hopefully you...
Oh man, sorry to hear that Fred. If you look in the plug there's a little metal flap that is supposed to press in towards the center pin and I bet it's gotten pushed away and is making the connection loose.
If you can carefully bend it back towards the center a bit it'll tighten things back up...
I agree, I do my best to support businesses and people that take pride in their work too.. even if it costs a bit more I think it's worth it.
Oh and I meant to say earlier, nice d20 avatar.. though the 2 is kind of torturous with that 20 sitting right there next to it taunting you lol.
Hey Ashysh - really happy you enjoy your Dog so much, that's what it's all about and knowing that makes this job more worthwhile so thanks! :tup: As far as a custom UD goes yes absolutely. If I have (or can get) the wood you want I will happily work with you to get you just the piece you want, a...
@ Peloton - I'll check your email when I get back to the office and get in touch then and we'll get you all set up for some UD foggy fun, thanks!
@ SM - yeah the postage is hilarious I thought you guys would like it lol
@ HES - thanks dude glad you had some fun staring at them, I find myself...
SM summed up pretty much perfectly.. experience (well plus a bit of random luck lol). ;)
I've been woodworking for enough years to have a good idea of what something might look like once finished though occasionally I will get a wood I've never seen or worked with before and then it's down to...
Thanks SM I've been working on that one for quite a while.. I figured there's gotta be a modern day Pharaoh out there somewhere who wants to take his vapor-engine to the afterlife with him. :D
Hey guys (and gals) I've got some pictures for you.
A couple peeps asked to see some shop pics, specifically my ready-rack of wood (kiln dried, ready to work wood) so I thought I'd go ahead and post them here in case anyone else is interested in the behind-the-scenes stuff.
First is some...
