Hi
@Drexciya !
Stu has very kindly helped me with posting this vid' (Thanks Stu!)
Please note that I have only built a few stashes, and only sold 2 (Grasshopper), so this is still a design that I'm working on along with others.
Please consider yourself a Beta, no ALPHA tester!
The video shows how the stash is intended to be used, but feel free to beat on it to see how it endures!
However, please be certain that the sliding lid for the 'magazine' is FULLY shut before rotating the swivel lid EVERY TIME, as I've already broken one while under the influence of alchohol!
Wow, man, I watched that video a couple of times by now and the smile on my face keeps getting bigger and bigger. I showed it to a good friend of mine yesterday evening and we were cheering and high fiving by the end of it.
The sliding lid is especially useful if you have a stubborn cap that's too hot to handle, and too stuck for the magnet to remove, as it can be used to grip the hot cap for removal (you'll see what I mean once you have the stash in hand).
That sliding lid is so cool. You mentioned you were aiming for something a little different and this is it
Nice one! You were also really precise in how many loads it would hold and now I know why and how you could be so precise. I really like that that magnet is hidden under that sliding panel as well.
Material can be sucked up into the VC, or as demonstrated in my video (sorry for quality) the VC can be inserted into the chamber with a twisting motion, and then inverted to drop the load into the VC tip (also with a twisting motion if the chambers are packed tight, or filled with entire budlets).
This method is especially inconspicuous and convenient, and I've found it very useful compared to loose herb.
Make sure the other chambers are covered before inverting the stash!
There is nothing wrong with the video quality and secondly, I know for sure that at one point I am not going to cover the other chambers while inverting it lol
I can already see it happen. The fact that I can take different strains with me is a really neat feature as well man. I never thought about this possibility but now that you have shown it it seems so logical. The loading looks so easy with this system.
The stem/vong that I've made you has two O-rings fitted, but hopefully you won't need them as I've tried to size the stem to fit into your HGL WonG snug without them.
But including them at least shows you where they should be fitted if the stem is too loose in the HGL WonG!
Wow again, it's a beauty
I really like what I see and can't wait to take this one for a test drive. You are probably right about the snug fit, I'll take some pictures of it while assembled with it. I really dig the grooves on the body for them.
As we discussed there is no carb, but for ease of cleaning there is a stainless liner (I adapted a regular DV condenser tube) that extends quite a long way from the end of the body.
Just slide the tip over the condenser tube, don't worry about how much it extends into the tip, it comes close to the CCD but won't touch it.
I have found that the condenser tube won't fit into one LE 7 fin tip I have without scraping tight to the inside of the tip, but it fits into all the other tips I have regardless of series ( and I have all but the very earliest tips, so you should be good there).
No carb for the win. I recently had my first no carb experience and I am all for it. Not having to look for a tiny hole makes things a lot easier for me. Thanks for adding that liner, it's a great addition. I'm gonna get me a brand new tip for this one.
Alologies for the VERY crude nature of the filling 'trough', it was a last minute inspiration and I didn't want to delay any further.
At first I restarted the video before the end so I didnt see the filling trough. I also read filing instead of filling and read trough as through. So when I watched the vid till the end the second time I understood what you meant. It's awesome man, the functionality is what counts here and it is very functional if you ask me.
If you encounter any issues PM me and I'll sort you out somehow!
I decided not to charge you for the stem, as the original idea was to 'pick you up' after your bad luck with the law, and charging for it doesn't really fit with that!
Besides, the stem was a lot easier than the stash
But you'll have to provide your own tip!
Wow, I just can't stop saying wow at the moment, yeah that was a crappy moment this year, but you and all the other lovely people over here made it a whole lot better and I don't know how yet but I will pay this forward. Thank you Copacetic, you are a wonderfull person. And I am proud to tell this story to everyone that wants to hear it.
If anyone has any comments or suggestions re' the stash I'd be glad to hear them BTW.
I'm working on various ideas and hope to post them here on FC once I've made more progress.
The way this turned out exceeded all my expectations. Did I already said WOW? Because WOW!.
