Well, I just got my Hawaiian koa wood Arizer Solo stem in the mail today!
This was my original order from the other week, and it's a very good match with the koa wood E-Nano stem that Ed had mistakenly made for me (and yet still shipped to me like a boss without ever taking an extra cent even after I offered).
That said, I wanted to take the time to really thank Ed for being such a stand up person. Sure he goofed and thought I wanted a Nano stem initially, yet he made it right and then some... including an unnecessary apology! In the end I now have a twin set of Hawaiian koa wood stems for my Solo and Nano... and with that beautiful turquoise inlay to boot!
Now, my Solo is charging but from the one stem Ive been able to go through I like it. Vapor production is lighter than glass, yes... but I am sure that can be mitigated with more heat and a tighter pack. I seem to get a lot of airflow over a stock stem with this bad boy!
Anyway, without further ado, I will now stun you with pictures of my hard wood!
Oh, I should also mention that I picked up some of Ed's Bomb Ass Butter. Stuff smells delicious! His ass butter really makes the patterns in my wood POP!
...It also works wonders with my vape stems.
Anyway, once again thanks @Ed's TnT !!!!

I had Ed make me a special order Wong and have not gotten back to say "Thanks ED." It is exactly what I wanted. I now have two matching stem pieces for my Solo. I will try to add pics later. Soooooooo ...funny story. I decided to clean my glass PVES Pong so I switched to my special Ed's. I was using my f-bomb with it and was put-sing in my shop when I suddenly dropped the project I was working on. Time slowed down as I saw my Beloved Solo-Wong-f-bomb go over the side of my work bench. Yep, next came that horrible sound of glass shattering. After cursing my dumb luck I began the process of cleaning up the mess when it donned on me. Although my f-bomb was now toast my Ed's Wong was solid as ever. OMG, what luck! Thanks Ed!

I'm loving the turquoise inlay in Ed's work. Makes my accessory addiction twitch.
I'm thinking about buying a Solo as my next vape.... looks like I've got some shopping to do when I get around to it.

Nice Vicki..Im sure you will find many uses for it!
Hello and good morning everyone, I hope all is well! Been tough the last couple of days, been giving it hell in the shop trying to get as much done as possible. Bout to wrap up a rather big order for PIU and then will be back restocking my inventory for my website, getting low on several items and getting plenty of emails wanting to know whats up???? Are you still making these or what??? As a matter of fact I am but for everybody else! I think those are gonna slow down for a short time, for a very short time.
@KidFated. How bout it brother? Thanks for stopping by, glad you like the logo, @Adobewan is the man! Hang in there my man, brighter days are ahead for ya, you gotta keep your head up and your eyes open so you dont miss when the door opens! You know I'll be here, just holla at me when you are ready.
@Vicki I appreciate all your support over the years and your continued business! You must be working on a prize collection of wood accessories down there. Hope you are digging the removal tool, be careful that thing will stick the hell out of you, its done it to me a couple of times!
@FlyingLow I hope you have been able to find that stem, freaking USPS usually gets it right but when it rains it pours with them. Have already had to replace a couple separate orders because the customer never received it, oh but they show delivered on tracking info, say what, how can this be. Hang in there and hopefully it will turn up.
@Caligula Thats a hellova matching set you got there! Very nice to see, thanks for posting pics and for spreading the word. I hope you are enjoying them! BAB is the shit!
@bellas Hello there, its been a while, I hope you are doing good! Thats a story bro for sure, you gotta love wood and SS, should last you a lifetime. I wanna see one of these stems after 20 years of use, that would be bad ass!
@stickstones I feel ya!
@Reflections You were the first to get one of those curly koa stems with the turquoise. You wanted one for a long time, I remember that!
@momofthegoons Tighten and get you a Solo, I been telling you to do so for a long time, you cant go wrong with it in your collection, its definitely got its place and you know I got some accessories that will satisfy your twitch!
@Hoops Thanks for stopping by, its been a while, I am glad you posted, its always good to hear from you!
Just ran across a few passes to the local water park, oh my boys are gonna go ape shit now! All I am gonna hear is "When can we go", should be fun. They have some really big water slides, wave pool and a lazy river, all good stuff.

So, Ed... are you doing the Hammer stems a little longer? and I hear they fit tighter...
I'm thinking 5" overall length (that's an inch longer than mine), in a black/very dark wood. No inlays, however.
Oh, and the ENano stems... how long are they? how long can they be?
Did you misspell "Launch" on purpose at Amazon? I'd prefer to purchase directly from you, anyway... I'm starting to view amazon as just another global juggernaut wiping out local & small artisans.

LOL I had been checking the wrong mailbox... and it was sent to my new address
I picked up today and was amazingly impressed with the craftsmanship- pics to come soon (hopefully I can get some posted before I leave the country tomorrow).
My Hammer stem came out just beautifully! Ed took a few of my thoughts and came through with a nice surprise. It is slightly longer than the Hammer stock stem and the shape is so comfortable and pleasing.
My girlfriend and I are so excited and grateful to not ever have to use those stock "crack" stems ever again. Especially in public, this is so very well received and will not raise any notice.
I intended to use this always dry, but the mouthpiece is also a perfect fit for my 14mm pieces
You killed it with this one Ed and went beyond expectations in every way! Thank you so much!
I am looking forward to future orders and using this piece for years to come.

Good afternoon everyone!!! All is well here just been spending some time with the family on this great fathers day! Got a really nice card from my boys with a few drawings from my youngest son!
@FlyingLow Wow am really glad to hear you got that stem and thank you so much for the kind words bro! Was worried there that I would have to make another one. I hope you enjoy it for a long time to come. No more freaking crack pipes huh!
@Vitolo How bout it my friend! Glad you stopped by and thank you for the post. The new logo is the cats ass, I really dig it. I cant say it enough, @Adobewan is the man! Hope all is well you way and wish you a great day!
@Vicki Yeah since 2007, its been a lot of blessings since then, been like whirlwind so to speak almost! had a little down at first but has been nothing but up for a long time now. Thanks for wishing me more success, I look forward to the future and hope you are part of it as well!
Check out what I did the other day, the thought just popped in my head and I had to do it, made from a Georgia Peach limb a friend gave me.

I lay it on it's side at night to charge. It has an alarm clock app that stays dimly lit while charging so it doubles as a bedside table LED alarm clock.
Happy father's day to Ed and all the other dads out there!

Alright order in the pipe for stem&wongs for hammer and nano, i hate to do half a job.
two stem method for hammer will be a joke with such a no break set. i guess SS mesh balls for reclaiming will working too but it could be avoidable for the wood (a living material). Gunking walls with resin should not fit this use too.
Can't wait to try a polished blackwood and see @Ed's TnT work.
Keep it up bro.
EDIT: He squeezed me in and it is shipped. honored indeed.
cheers.
