Hello everyone.
I'm a European medical user. I've been using for about 20 years now. First time I vaped was 18 years ago. I eventually bought that unit, which was a prototype from a Dutch company, and some time later it was confiscated when police raided my home.
Fast forward some 9 years and I've just purchased a Vaporite tabletop unit. After unboxing I realize it is not doing what I would like it to be doing, so I take a hammer to it. 24 hrs later I have a fresh housing with the insides of a Vaporite, which made the unit perform without much need for stirring, no matter the amount of herb put into the chamber. I called it the High House, cause it was kinda shaped like a high house, and high it got me for sure. Another 7 or 8 years later and my son shoves it off the table leading to yet another rethinking and rebuild, this time it is reborn in it's current from, the Cheebah Cheese. A triangular wooden block painted yellow with some holes in it, vaguely resembling a block of swiss cheese, with still the same inner workings of the original Vaporite unit.
But these days, even before that fatal shove, I have my eyes and mind firmly set on another beast: The infamous Ball Vape.
And so after many weeks of thinking, many calculations and even more possible material sourcing and material properties comparing, and also several sleepless nights, and a few bucks too many spent here and there, I now have a -hopefully- well thought out unit to assemble and show the lot of you; should it not work you can all point and laugh and I'll be eating my hat over here.
Anyway...
I intend to make it a very nice looking unit, though nothing like what is on the market. Imagine something more bohemian, as that's more my style. It will consist out of Titanium grades 1 and 2, 6mm synthetic rubies, some electrical components, and sustainably sourced cherry wood, leather and wool. It will include a cherry wood bowl, and heater handle, and the air path will consist out of Titanium and Rubies, and there's a minor bit of cherry wood in the beginning of the air path too. Some ceramic as well. Draw resistance is expected to be next to non-existent, though a flat polished agate stone is connected to the Cherubi, serving to manually alter the draw resistance to one's desire.
Pictures will follow as the build progresses, but there's one caveat.
The wood. I'm really looking and looking but it seems I've actually thrown most or all of my cherry wood in the wood stove, big whoopsie on my part. Not to worry, it's an invasive species here and I can simply cut off some new pieces, but sadly that does mean that there is a considerable lag to be expected on those timewindows.
Also, I'm hoping to find some other European users on this forum to connect with, so always feel free to shoot me a PM!
