Ah, thanks mom, you just covered him. It is correct the new units need very little extra finish. You can also try buffing them with a soft rag or a soft buffing wheel on a portable drill. I watched one of those Sumos go from incredible to spectacular just with a buffing wheel on an 8 inch grinder. Soft friction shines them nicely. That finish requires friction/heat to set it properly and extra buffing/friction/heat will always shine it up a bit more.
BTW, treecity, we are also happy to hear you got the vapor flow down good. Slower pulls and also a slightly, slightly tighter pack will balance out the slightly larger step tip size by slowing the air through the stem tip contents. The flow of heated air through the stem tip contents can be varied in many ways. We have not mentioned the grind here but that will change the flow also.
SF Giant and all you other glass junkies, we will be getting some shorter stems with a GonG taper on the suck end soon. Shorter and fit better. We will also try another little product out on you soon. Very simple and very effective, The RockZap MiniWhip. I'll be working on improving the design just a little in the days ahead.
Speaking of the days ahead, we could have a major slowdown next week, maybe not. I have Jury Duty for the week. Could be I get out of it, maybe not. That will slow some shipping but everything ordered to date will ship tomorrow or Monday. Even if I do get to serve, we will still keep everything rolling but it could be an uphill grade for the Zap Train next week.
//////, we have you covered. A very easy special request will get done on that sweet RZ. I like that smooth shape. Many of our pics do not show the grain properly. All of our RZs have nice wood grain. Some of them..........well.....words cannot describe. Thanks for the order, BTW.
SirElton, great pics and review. The side by side shots give folks a better idea how small these little Locomotives really are. Like gunky said, more like a Motorcycle grip. Maybe a small juice can? Lighter than old Zaps too. Thank you for the show. Good job.
Gobrian, glad to hear you too have found the flow.
NYC, thanks for all your help in so many ways. Log vapes are special and new users need nurturing.
All of you help so much and save me lots of time trying to explain. You also do a better job of it than I do.
mom..............you know...........
One of the fun things about the RZs is their performance consistency. This is the log vape for everyone as it is so easy to make the thing work. So far I have replaced one RZ for less than par performance. We got it back yesterday and I will examine it this afternoon. I have a suspicion that it is something very simple and easily fixable.
Yes, we will have some more 'stuff' tonight/tomorrow AM. Not sure what it will be but I will say this. The Zapville crew is watching this movie closely. We are figuring out what the favorites seem to be and we will try our best to keep those favorites coming. In some cases, The Master Flow has given us a limited supply of the very special stuff but at the same time has opened other doors to many different woods.
Like a good movie that just keeps chugging along but keeps us interested all the way. Sorry to brag a little but we are going through some very serious mind blowing days and weeks here. LOTS of changes needed for us to keep OUR belly to the bar. Tomorrow is two weeks from RZ roll out. It has been more better than any dream I could have ever had. (Take that, Mr Ambrosi, my 7th/8th grade English teacher with the big old oak paddle that had holes drilled in the action end for no air resistance at the connection to the smartass ass.)
