here for the chicks
You should get a cheap back-up vape for when something like this happens man. Why don't you pick up a VG Coil or a Gnome or something similar?

Ever since day one I was only able to get very very tiny hits but I figured that's how they were supposed to be. Then I dropped it a couple times within the time I had it and It got to a point where I was unable to get a vapor hit. I sent it back to Rick a week ago, should be there in a couple more days for repairs.
I'm looking at another week of combustion (minimum) ... Sigh

OB, I don't think that it is fair to suggest that people who buy the zap need to buy two to prepare for when they receive a malfunctioning unit or have theirs break down. It seems especially inappropriate for a reseller of the unit to be expressing that he feels the unit is so fragile/flawed that it is wise to get two of them to be prepared for the RockZaps inevitable failure. I imagine that this was not your intention, but it surely is the way that it seemed to me.the ob said:chib said:I don't know... It never worked properly to begin with.

Um, like the rest of us that is why you need more than one. I could have six go bad and still not have a issue

What a unique "spin" on the ob's comment about how we love to collect our Zaps.Progress said:OB, I don't think that it is fair to suggest that people who buy the zap need to buy two to prepare for when they receive a malfunctioning unit or have theirs break down.

As you put your own "spin" on people comments..... people will put their own "spin" on your intent!
chib said:Yeah she always ran cooler than I thought she should have, Producing a fantastic taste but with very little vapor. I dropped her within 5 minutes of owning her whilst polishing with the zap wax while she was warming up, and then the other day she flew right out of my hands while I was shaking her trying to figure out the cause of her 'rattle' (FUCK YOU HARDWOOD FLOORS!)
Keep in mind, these weren't 'bumps' rather THUMPS as these things aren't lite.
Progress said:Thanks for the info about your zap malfunctioning upon arrival (and not getting broken through use/abuse).
Progress said:Rick, I have seen some reports about the internals of the CRZ getting loose and rattling over time despite having the ceramic insulation. How often would you say that this has happened to units this early in the life of the CRZ, and what do you think is causing this to happen (and what can be done to prevent it)?
Nycdeisel said:The shape must partially explain why my black locust even with its issue is still noticeably hotter then my Ambrosia unit which has the new DC transformer but has quite a bit more wood on its body. Though to be fair, my black locust RZ has been running for quite a bit longer of course(never let it go cold once i received it) but im not sure if the retained heat would make that much of a difference. Your thoughts on this, Rick?
Vitolo said:And yes... if one goes out, I have 8 more to use!!
Same with many vapes... and that was the reason I had 2 PD units.... until I realized they did not work as well and got rid of them.
I also own 3 MFLBs and 3 SSVs.... and I have them in case I have trouble there also

the ob said:You all probably do not know me that well, but if I could possible figure out a way to make a living being a smartass, I would certainly do so. I am normally very good at it, and enjoy it throughly.

Rick said:Back to normal here. We will have several orders that came in over the weekend shipping today, along with a couple stragglers from last week. Even caught one from yesterday late afternoon that should be leaving today.
Rick said:redwood is the same hollow as the others on the bottom but Redwood is a very light wood, not dense, so it will feel 'less substantial' than a hard wood. They run plenty hot though, some of the hottest.
TwztedElegance said:Got a CRZ a few days back and I love it. So ridiculously efficient. I get 4-5 of these hits per stem and I fill not more than 1/2 the stem. I had a few questions though. My ABV still has bits of green in it, and usually if I put my days ABV from my Zap into 1 bowl in my Buddha I can get 2-3 big hits out of it. Do you think it's worth buying 1 of those variable temperature adapters so I can sometimes run it at 13v, like at night when I want to get knocked out? I still find it gets me really high off tiny amounts though.
