The funnels are so sweet and useful. And talk about durable! Way better than my folded index card
yep, I'm high

Kinda cool to think how those all scoops came from the same 3d model. All I did was adjust 3 variables: Radius, 90-degree dimension, and height. Then recompile the model and print.
I've got a few different general vape accessories coming out over the next few weeks, really excited to share them. Here's one project I've been working on with the crew over on the E-Nano thread:
A 3D printed steel "Scoop N Stir" tool. (Left 2 were my first drafts, the one on the right is my latest version). All 3 are 3D printed from Shapeways in a steel powder which is then fired in a kiln.
The first was 3D printed in a matte gold finish, it was a test to see which grinding mechanism worked best for ABV (one side is a millstone grinding pattern, the other is similar to grinder teeth). The middle one was my first attempt at a scoop (3d Printed in a bronze finish then lightly polished).
The 3rd one is 3D printed stainless steel. I made the scoop 25% smaller, and added the diamond teeth to the bottom. This is my favorite of the 3 tools so far. They are SOLID, and safe to use in the heat we're working with.
The scoop on the 3rd print works well, it holds around 0.8g of herb (I'll get more accurate measurements of my final design). However, I wasn't satisfied with the rounded tip on the scoop, so I've modified the it slightly and ordered a new print.
I'll also be offering an alternative version of the scoop with a single poker on the back
Hopefully these parts will be available later this month, but it depends on shapeways and how fast they can print my next round of prototypes.
Thanks again for everyone's support, I'm blown away by the positive response I've received so far. I promise I'm working hard to keep up with your orders (while still finding time to invent new stuff!).
I know sometimes it takes me a few days longer to ship some orders, but I promise that's only because I refuse to ship a substandard product that doesn't meet my quality standards. As always, if you're curious to know when your order will ship, please don't hesitate to email me.
That's either a typo, or you have a really big Bic lighter for scale.
yes! Too many Nano sessions before work this morning

Lol, I got a notification from Shapeways yesterday that my 3D printed metal "Scoop-N-Stir" and my "Scoop-N-Poke" tools have been shipped, I should have them by Friday! (This is my 3rd set of prototypes)
Latest version coming tomorrow. Trust me, I've been LOVING my tiny scoop tool
I need one of theseMy latest scoop prototypes came!
Here's a quick peak at the prototypes (in order of evolution)
The nickle and gold ones on the right are the most recent versions I have. But I've already modified the design and ordered several copies of the Scoop-N-Stir and the Scoop-N-Poke. Although as usual with Shapeways orders, there is a two week turnaround (... Just got an email that my latest versions passed the review stage and have been sent to the printing department. Next they'll be printed, prepped, and then fired in a kiln. Then post-processed and finally shipped)
The final Scoop-N-Stir will now have 3 teeth (designed to fit into an E-Nano stem, or anything larger). But If you need a special stir stick for your vape, please let me know and I can easily modify the design (and increase the number of teeth).
Also you can't see it, but the Scoop-N-Poke version has a hole on the side for a key-ring. I'm planning on adding a keyring to it and adding it to my keychain (it's steel, so it will definitely hold up to abuse!)
I will be listing the tools on my store soon. I have only a handful of each available for sale for those who want early access and are willing to provide some feedback.
I personally have been using the Scoop-N-Stir tool with my Nano and LSV. It works REALLY well, except ABV tends to get trapped between the teeth (easy solution - simply spin the tool while removing - ABV falls right off), I'm hoping removing one tooth will help eliminate that issue
The scoop side is great, I can precisely scoop 0.05g of herb (literally 3-4 flakes) out of my grinder, or I can scoop around 0.15g and dump it into my Nano's tiny stem. This works better than my traditional vacuum method for loading herbs in my convection vape.
