I love my glass tootie also.
lwien describes using an ABV bag.. a thick muslin bag with a drawstring.
I settle in with an old jelly jar whose size I liked. I lift the top slightly, insert the stem... keeping the cover kind of on the jar with my hand, and I blow.
I also was christened with the ABV shower the first time!

Thanks Rick, i just want to let you know your constant presence in this thread and your obvious commitment to customer service was one of the main reasons i chose your log vape over the others. This week or so will no doubt drag but i know its all worth it.

@mom thanks for the welcome! I lurked for a couple days, gave it a minute or two of thought and bought myself zap.
@Rick thank you for this wonderful zap, it has exceeded my expectations in quality, beauty, and individuality. It seems to have a personality of its own already! Also, the crack is really cool!
@Vito I couldn't help but to think of your video where you said it was like sipping a vapor cocktail haha.
This thing is gorgeous. I rubbed a little more than half of the lavender zapolish tin into when it arrived, it was nearly dripping with beeswax! Today it shines almost with an aura! I also rubbed a dab into the leather bottom. I will definitely be ordering more of that amazing stuff. I'm wondering if I should name my zap?
Took me 5 or 6 stems to get my technique down. Once my lungs and mouth figured out how to hit it right, I was able to get tasty hits. I'm loving this type of high vs my normal pipesmoke high, cleaner and happier.
As Rick mentioned, I emailed him about the wood selection as well as a couple of other things. His responses were always fast and professional, and long story short, Rick is a rock star.
More pics coming Monday..

Thanks for the tips, all! I can't believe the hits I'm getting from this awesome little gal; I love being able to see so much vapor travelling up the glass stem.
Toe: I'm going to have to try that zapolish ASAP! I figured I wouldn't bother waxing for a few weeks, but after your endorsement, I may go wax it now!

Do it! I was careful with the stuff at first, using a real small amount. Eventually I just coated the entire zap with a 500?m layer and left it plugged in for a few hours. Came back and it had soaked it all in except a few thin streaks of wax, rubbed those in and my Zap was literally sparkling.

Finally got around to trying to "wrap" or "koozie" my Zap, just to give it a shot and see what all the talk was about, and to try something different.
I found a suggestion from the PD thread and tried it. I wrapped my Zap with an ACE bandage I happen to have laying around.
I've got a couple uses on it and I believe I can feel and tell a difference, but it could be all in the head...who knows.
I've also recently found a use for my bubbler (that has not gotten any use since I learned of vaping a couple years ago). It helps a lot for the 1st hit of a fresh bowl.
Couple pics just because...

Your zap looks sick.

Vito, it's such a pleasure having you here on this forum. It's always fun to come on and see what new vid you've done for us. This one is another keeper. Very informative and it was fun watching you catch a buzz. 
It's great having such a well versed and knowledgeable "ambassador" in vaping.

Don't waste any time worrying. Get on the horn with Airizer to find out about warranty OR cost of repair, if it matters to you.sharkvszombie299 said:Figures my Extreme Q breaks right as i order my Zap.

Karma has intervened here, and left you with your MFLB, and you were guided to order a ZAP. Some think things happen for a reason.
The Zap won't be much longer. We wait with you!
In the meanwhile, maybe you can rig your Q to get by.. or learn to love the MFLB, until your Zap gets to it's new home.

Just sent this to one customer and thought it would be a good idea to post it here too.
Going to be a slight delay getting yours and some others out. Hopefully all Zaps out by Thursday for a Saturday arrival. We had some non Zap emergency work to get done that took a couple days away from Zapville.
Thanks for your patience. We will send shipping info the day we ship.
Thanks for that great video Vito. Looked like you were having lotsa fun with more to come when the shooting was over!

sharkvszombie299, using your LB will help you master some of the technique that is used with the Zap. The draw on the Zap can take patience; it's not a "heavy hitter" in the sense that some vapes are. With the more restricted air flow, it can take a while to master those big hits with the Zap. Using the LB will be good practice. If your batteries are shot, get some inexpensive rechargeables (like Energizer) to hold you over. And the wait wont be much longer. When you consider Rick's turn around time of about a week from order, it's really no longer than ordering from an online vendor that ships from stock. And Rick is making this for you, not just grabbing something off a shelf. Hang in there.

Thank you Vito. I try to keep it positive in the hopes that that is what I attract. My feeling is that negative begets negative. Best to keep the flow positive! 
And speaking of positive flow, I "fired up" my original Zap today; the one with the "mom" picture in it. She's one of the original designs, still running strong on the original wall transformer. I found myself having many fond memories while using it. Good times.

Vito, I've actually seen this already. It's very moving. I understand the part that SL filled in your life. When I was in treatment for Hep C, I was on a Hep forum. It helped me immensely. I think that SL takes that to the next level. I also had the notion to contact you regarding advice on my neurotic dog.
Maybe we can add him to the park. He could use the socialization. 
So nice that Rick doesn't mind us getting philosophical once in a while.
