Now i have a story to go with my wood stem, cool.Good morning out there everyone, hope all is well and you all had a merry Christmas. All the family had a great christmas and everyone got what they wanted. My 3 little boys wore smiles all day long playing with their new gadgets and gifts.
I have been slammed with another huge LB Stem order and all the rest of the wood I have to work.
Got a little bad news from my metal guy about the solo parts I have him make for me. My guy is an older man whose wife died not long back, he has a great place with a couple hundred acres, big lake on his place with a nice house and metal shop. Well he is wanting to make a change and sell the whole place so this next run on solo stems maybe the last for a while until I can find someone else that can do the work for a reasonable price. Not at all what I wanted to hear or deal with at this moment.
I did order quite a bit of blackwood so will have many of those available soon for the solo. I will try and do some cocobolo and bog oak depending on what I have in stock and know I will have a bunch of granadillo.
I hope all is well and wish you all many blessings in the new year!
Hi Ed,Good times, good times King and Stu, I am still stoked about my last hunt, was a hunt of a lifetime!
Hello Overvaped and thank you for your inquiry. The vapor tubes are designed to be used with the CRZ log vape, wouldnt suggest using it as a pipe. Now the wooden bombs are a great way to pack a load and tote it all day. It does have to be ignited through the brass top that is screwed on the top.
Let me ask you have you ever used a hempwick like Beeline? Its an all natural hemp string that has been dipped in natural hawaiian beeswax. You light the string then use it to light your stash, no harmful chemicals at all. If not and you wanna try a bomb pls pick one up and let me know its you and we spoke about it and I will throw in some Beeline for you to try.
I appreciate the kind words too Overvaped, thanks for the recommendation!
Hi Ed,
thx for your quick answer, I had never heard about Beeline, very very interesting.
One more thing, just to make it clear:
- you ignite the bomb through the hole in the brass with Beeline and then smoke through the same hole, is it?
Thanks in advance!
Aye, hemp wick ftw.Yes, you light the beeline and hit it through the brass top drawing through the pipe, its a heavy hitter to be so small. You have to hit it slow or it will give you a hellova charge!
You can check out the good folks at Beeline here - http://www.thebeelinestore.com/ They have been making this wonderful wick for a while now and are great people, I have been working with them for years!
Hey Ed! Is there any chance of some mini solo stems coming out anytime soon?
thanks for the quick reply! i was hopping you were gonna say they are both legit, and tips on how to get the screen to stay in without a clip?Not seeing these happening at this moment. I had originally wanted to offer the shorties with the solo dugouts that I tried making a few of, had some issues with getting the stem to pop out the box. Had some great ideas given to me as well as some materials but neither came about.
I have made a few of them and a far as their performance folks like the standard length instead of the short. The short stems have a harsher temp and most folks dont like the high heat.
Right now this next batch will be all the longer size.
@thesoloman, they are both made by myself. I do wholesale to PIU also. The one with the clip is from the earlier design and I am no longer adding the clip to em now, just no need for em. One may have more of a taper than the other due to each being hand made, I try to get em as close to the same as possible but am still doing it by hand and eye. Both are legit though!
