Bad news is the snow has not stopped. We are in the middle of a Pacific Northwest big one. Plowing twice a day to stay open to the world.
The good news is some smaller brass stem orders left today. Many more should go out tomorrow as I have been holding any order that takes a SS stem tip screen, waiting for the new screens to arrive. Just checked and they are due tonight so I can get them in all the SS stems going out from now on. They will be a perfect fit for a a more bullet proof install and easier replacement of the screen.
The timing of the snowstorm and delays last week mean better screens in SS stems from now on. I have also been holding up sending screens out, waiting for the new ones to get here.
Zap orders or replacement Zaps will not ship til tomorrow at the earliest.
Thanks for the patience.
Thanks for the B-day wishes, I made it 1/2 way to 90!!!!!
Old dog, new tricks? Absolutely.placetime said:This beautiful redwood CRZ is slightly unusual in that it has a new smaller-than-normal-size heatport that Rick is trying out in some of the smaller and softer CRZs.
placetime said:Although I have enjoyed my other log vapes (and they still work great), I have always had to keep a koozie thingie on them to get them to produce enough heat--not too big of a deal, but did get in the way of enjoying the beautiful wood. This CRZ does not need a koozie to be hot enough.
It's almost too warm to hold in the middle part (great for cold hands), but the wider bottom bit is not hot at all, so there's plenty of room for holding it if the middle ever feels too warm to touch.
Given how small and hot it is, it's perfect for glass. But, I've also quickly grown fond of the Tooty. Honestly, I was a little skeptical of the shape of the Tooty at first, but just had to try one--and I'm glad I did! The Tooty is not as smooth as using water filtration, but it's much cooler/smoother than using the regular nylon stems.
Thanks for helping me out and being patient with the idiot noobie. I think the simplicity of the zap is a little misleading for people who are using it for the first time. It is easy to use but not so easy to master.

Dude, if you look back far enough in this thread, you will find that most of us have had similar questions at one time or another. Never worry about asking too many questions.
