collegerower, we will do the SSS closed bottom retro, top install, NOT insulated except the traditional wood. Just replace the heatport with a stainless heatport. I have a couple more I am looking at to be sure I cover my ass on labor and materials before putting anything up on the website.
If it were me, I would keep the old one as is and wait for a RocKZap that I liked. When it does go up, there will be some warnings like the wood could get dinged in the process and I will have to examine the center hole before I agree to do the job. Retrofits sound cool but often are not real practical in the traditional wood insulated log vape.
Back to the website this afternoon to start sticking these up. I will be referring to these by wood species as much as possible from now on. A small percent are unknown for now. Final names will be on the website.
A nice plain smooth maple.
Out on a Limb Maple
Another Out on a Limb, everybodys favorite Sumac
One sweet piece of Birch scrap?
RZ whip next week. We are working on wooden mouthpieces, stainless lined just like the wooden stems. Not sure if it is really a whip. I'm not into whips. Define a 'whip' please.

As Vit said, flexible Food or Medical Grade Quality tubing for vaporizers.
Whip Tubing - All Your Questions Answered! is the FC source for all whip tubing questions
It will give you info on size differences, where to buy in bulk, health/medical concerns, etc.

Rick,
These are some beautiful units! Now that you have the internals to a point near perfection it is a joy to see you turn your attention towards your inner artist. Going back through this thread we can see that the Zaps of the past have always been pretty but now they are just incredible.
Wooden stems & whips will round out your offerings very nicely. Now if we can get some bowls and maybe a few stem holders we'll be one step closer to Zap Nirvana

OK then, we will have an RZ Miniwhip with custom wood mouthpiece that is SS tube lined, and probably a glass mouthpiece too when I get over to Tims place early this coming week. No other glass though. Other end of whip........well, just wait and see. Next week.
Thanks for the help...
Nobody has claimed anything shown above yet Bio. There will be more Sumac(Sumo) in the days and weeks ahead.
EDIT for:
Another break from anything going up on the website for a few hours. We are going to do some re-takes.

oh I know Rick. I was just thinking out loud 
. The batches truly get better and better as time goes on. Its all about pulling the trigger at the right moment. lol
This whole website thing you're doing is pretty awesome Rick. It keeps me as a customer coming back all the time. I def like to stay "up to date" now since I only joined the zap family very shortly ago.

that sumac one is beautiful, Rick.
My Zap update. My unit stopped working due to having to replace the transformer. I started working and got a new toy (magickwand) and the zap got set aside for a short while. Finally, I went to buy a new transformer and the heatport was extremely loose. I sent it to Rick for repair and inspection. We decided on a heater transplant; brass to SSS. I got it back quickly and my magickwand was lent out to a friend.
It took me a few nights to get the particulars down again. I got my zap back fitted to fit my old brass stems. Its not a perfect fit however. luckily Rick was kind enough to give me a free stem. (Thanks Rick) It has a slightly larger bowl, which i certainly dont mind. It works wonderfully. Even when shaking the rust out of my zap technique, it worked wonderfully. Once I got it dialed in though, it was even better. I think the SSS packs a little more of a punch than the older heaters. I used to put a koozie around my older zap 5 minutes before my session and take it off during to get that little extra heat. I dont plan to do that with this unit. It is slightly hotter than my older heater. Im not sure if that has to do with the install or the heater itself. I think rick said it ran slightly hotter.
anyways i caught myself rambling so im going to stop.
top notch customer service, communication, shipping
top notch turn around time
top notch vaporizer
thanks again rick!

The new Rockzaps do run a bit hotter, the SS stays warmer longer but the brass in the old MZ's heated up faster. I used to run a 13.5v on my MZ to get the thick rips but I feel a 12v for the RZ's is almost of equal caliber.

let me tell u the rockzap i so efficient, i get 5 to 6 hits per stem big hits, 4 stems is even half a bowl size of ssv and extreme q. that 4 stems so 5 x 4 20 to 30 hits dammmmmmmmmmmmm from barely any herb

The hits are certainly "longer" than my MZ, meaning the overall session takes a bit longer, but with patience comes reward. With the longer session and more breathers between hits I feel much more vaked.

RZ Plain Mary Jane adapted for the hash catcher (VIDEO: click on the link below the pic)
RZ + Sherlock + hash catcher
*sometimes I just use a 18-14mm reducer in the Sherlock for vapor cooling
RZ + SYN + hash catcher
Pictures will be updated in the signature eventuallywhen my new buddy arrives
Rick was unbelievable and worked with me on this special Walnut unit. Rick gave me the honor of naming the RZ. After some philosophical discussion about the universeHamlet said, I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space essentially translated as, I could live in a walnut shell and feel like the king of the universe.
Thus, Hamlet was born. He looks bold and beautiful. Thanks for everything Rick!
See you soon FC. Have a great Sunday and week!

Welcome to the Zapville family GhostVapor! So glad to have helped.
And look at you go tree! Love the name for your new vape. Glad to see you are having no problems getting good vapor with your glass. Someone's been practicing!
an aside.... I love checking out the music that people play with their vids. Gives you a little insight to a person's personality, or at the very least, their mood at the moment.

tree, that is one sweet walnut RZ. I love the name and love the quote behind it even more. It happened to me when I realized I could look up or down and it was all the same......and I was somewhere in the middle but hooked to whatever it was.
Very nice vids. Is that what you call 'milking' it?
GhostVapor, thanks for taking the RZ plunge. Your order should ship tomorrow. The one you picked was a favorite of mine. Another is Princess. She is one smooth lady. We are moving to smoother lines and figure. Pictures are cool but nothing like having these in your hand and looking right at them. Smooth is happy zappy.
Oh, mom, thanks again for all your help. Vito, I'm going to holler at you after we tub it. Hang in there. All is well.
Now some fun. No jury duty at all this week! I followed the advice of a very wise man and asked The Universe for some help. Guess they did not need me this time around.
So we will have new stuff coming out besides a twice a week new RZ show. No daily special because we do new stuff so often. Another Ricky opening his mouth too early.
Starting with GonG short stems, up on the website today sometime. I'll be getting them shorter in the next batch.
gotta go for awhile..............
