And now the waiting begins!

I applaud those of you that have the patience to withstand longer delays in exchange for personalized wood patterns. I've only been waiting a little under a week for my mrytlezap to arrive but the sleepless nights and shakes are about to win out. Maybe it wasn't the best idea to fast in anticipation. Must pack MFLB.....no...must remain strong.....ugghh. 
Marbled walnut does sound beautiful though.

Thanks for the order. You will recall I did say I cannot guarantee specific grain patterns. We will try our best but no guarantees on that issue. You were good enough to belly up to the bar and order when I told you I cannot 'let you know' when something nice comes up and I appreciate that. Many people ask about 'notification when something special is available but we cannot do that on a regular basis. We do have a special person or two or three out there we ARE looking out for, wood-wise, but that has been going on forever and they have been around a long time.
We do our best to treat people fairly by getting their orders out within a week in the the order they ordered. I will also do my best to get some more of that marbled look walnut.
Held the new Tooty next to the last version(tubing size) yesterday. Very noticeable difference in size and weight.
As far as notifying us you are an FC member and/OR lurker for the free plug kit when ordering a Zap, there is a section in the Payal process when ordering called "notes to seller". This will appear right before the final click I believe. Or you can always just send us an Email.

You'd said you'd give it a try, and that's enough for me.

So Rick, on the Aromazap site "intense walnut" and "claro walnut" are both offered. Is there a difference or is your walnut just your walnut? Gonna order 1 as a wedding gift for some friends, what do you guys think, best wedding gift ever or what?

Albert, i asked Rick the same question before i ordered.
"We have the walnut option for the Best deal going. It is all the same walnut. Claro walnut=intense walnut."

I'd love one made out of some nice spalted maple. I don't know if maple is a good wood for a log vape though.

kewpcer, I had that conversation with Rick about a year ago. The spalting makes the wood unstable to turn and he wasn't too interested. Too much room for error. We ended up with walnut. I think it would really depend on the piece of wood. But we can always dream. 
Welcome to the family NYC! Hope you will post a pic of your new Zap. I'm looking forward to hearing how you like it. Did you end up getting a Tooty?

I think one of the most contradictorily(sp) fucked up things that could happen to a Zap happened here recently.
A while back, I ended up acquiring a Zap from a fellow member here and it ultimately made its way to one of my good buddies (who of course LOVED it and finally kicked combustion)
Of course his other half didnt approve of it (once she Googled it and found its REAL purpose) but she let it slide nonetheless. Well, long story short, (too late) she is 8.99 months pregnant and ready to deliver any day now. With this comes her 'nesting' phase where she goes on a huge cleaning rampage and starts gathering stuff to donate to their local charity. (You can see where I am going with this correct?)
Yup, the Zap was one of those 'donations' along with the bookshelf of previously read books. Of course her response was 'Well, you never use it'. OF COURSE NOT IN FRONT OF YOU!!! (Yeah, he was less than pleased)
Heres the kicker - The charity of choice that is recieving this beautiful aromatherapy device. CHKD.
Id like to be a fly on the wall for that one. (And a strong enough fly to be able to get his darned unit back!)
FHL... Seriously... LOL

Oh AG, this story is both sad and hysterically funny! Can you imagine them trying to figure out what this thing is? I think you need to go to their next rummage sale!

Fortunately for him, he is in good with a seasoned vaporist that can afford to help keep him on the path of non-combustion. I took my Lotus over to him this AM and he seems pleased with it.
Hopefully he wont lose this
I swear, this guy would lose his butthole if it wasnt on his backside. The good thing about the Zap is it was meant to not be moved.

i honestly think MZ has much less of a learning curb than the LB. only thing you have to perfect is your draw and packing techniques, which are really simple. if i'm gonna vape with one of my friends that is new to vaporizers. MZ is the first one i introduce to them. basically fool proof.
...but then i have the problem of my friends wanting to come over and use my vapes all the time

Well Smoking, as long as you don't always have to provide what goes in them, could be fun!

yeah, actually ease of use, especially for noobs, is something that doesn't come up too often about log vapes. But they are pretty hard to screw up, except as you say by overpacking.
