Hope it avoids Frankfurt (sort of a customs black hole) and gets to you quickly. I think the Dreamwoods are pretty consistent and easy to use; you'll probably enjoy it right out of the box.Thx, man!... I'm pretty sure I will!
but I'm going to report back, of course, when it arrived. Next monday is a holyday here, therefore it may not arrive until the end of the week...or even the week after that one
... since I'm located in Austria, customs should be no issue. They only f**k around, when I'm ordering something from outside EU. Then they hold it every time and I have to pay import + service fees
...but Germany usually is no problem.
unless it takes over 4 months like with my anvil
Awesome! Sounds like it'll be there in no time--they could walk it over to you! ; )... since I'm located in Austria, customs should be no issue. They only f**k around, when I'm ordering something from outside EU. Then they hold it every time and I have to pay import + service fees
... anyway... I'm a patient Guy
...austrian post won't deliver on saturdays!
Congrats, can't wait to see the pics--bet you're gonna enjoy it!Just came home from work and both packages were waiting for me
Mondayblues was blown away instantly!
As soon as I figured out again how to post pics I will show that Beauty!
Love how the dobby is made! Real nice woodworking and a gorgeous pice of wenge wood! It has a nice size, actually smaller in real life, than expected. And it feels awesome in hand! Could imagine a special version with some "finger-grooves"
I didn't have the chance to give it a try yet, but I think I'm going to be very happy with it
Thanks @Dreamwood for this beautiful piece! Pics will follows!
Do you know what wood(s) the pipe is? That's really nice looking too!
Im not 100% sure, but I think it's "Esche" (ashtree?) ... Yeah, it really looks nice too
I'm a happy chappy right now! 
). And it seems way more forgiving too... I'm pretty sure if I would aim the torch, like I did with the dobby, with the runt, I would combust.
Glad you're enjoying it, these really are fantastic devices. They deserve consideration if you're looking for a brick: not only is the woodworking done to perfection but as you've mentioned, they're dead easy to use. You've inspired me to join you! Cheers!It is kind of a ritual to me, that I try a new vape in the morning and sober, to really get a un-tainted first impression of it. Therefore, I had to wait until now to give them here
First, I have to repeat, that I love how the dobby feels in the hand and how the wood has it's own smell (or maybe it's the wax or polish they seem to use to finish the surfaces off).
I packed a nice little bowl, not half full, but a bit less. Used the original glass stem it comes with and gave it a try... First thing I realized is, that you seem to have to aim the jet flame more direct into the heat intake, than compared to a sticky brick runt ( sorry, if this is not wanted here, but it's the only comparison I can make
It will surely take some time for me to dial it in, but first impressions are totally positive
Love these wooden vapes!
One thing, I have to say, I could taste the wood pretty good during this first bowl...but I guess this will get lost with time and use. I wouldn't say it was a bad taste. It was there, for sure...but not unpleasant. Actually it had a bit of a fruity taste to it, combined with a bit of a sharp woody taste ... If that makes any sense
The dobby will have his place in my rotation for sure! Definitely a candidate for my all-time-favourite-vapes-list
Somehow it seems the vape I get is a bit hotter than the dobby (wonder why, since the dimensions seem very comparable ).
Directly through the top. The pinches are there to diffuse and turbulate the heat, to 'slow down' the straight intake, kind of like a restrictor disc. It works very well, and in fact a couple other makers in Germany and Poland have adopted very similar ones. I like it better than the restrictor.@coolbreeze: is this the "switch" with the "turbointake"? How do you use that intake? Do you heat the sides for a certain amount of time, or directly through the top (is that even possible)?
Btw, the vapopipe vapes very nicely too!
I like the classic pipe form factor!
I'm glad I got both!
No, not uncomfortable, but still noticeable
it's alright though. I think this is going to be my favourite on-the-go device... 100% convection and very pocketable who knows? I'm still not the most experienced guy with that kind of vapes.
Hopefully the dimples help. That does look like a really convenient pocket vape.No, not uncomfortable, but still noticeable
Gonna have to try the dimpled glass stem I ordered with my dobby...see if that makes a big enough difference.
But, in the end, it could still be a user-related thing and next time I hit it it will be totally fine

....walnut is always one of the woods I'm considering for it's beautyI have the Dobby V1 in walnut. The woody taste will fade away eventually, a good reason to use it more often!
Enjoy the Dobby
You should post these in the Wooden Vape Thread. Dreamwood torch vapes get less love than they should, and I think some folks just don't know them or forget they're there.
After some weeks of use and just getting used to/accepting the vapopipe being a little hotter than the dobby, I cleaned it and replaced the screen in the bowl with another one. Not as fine as the original, but the same I have in my dobby... And that's what made the difference !
