Unplug it. Plug it back in.Did you turn it off and on again?
They really are works of art! Enjoy!!!
Brilliant!!! I love the idea of an all-in-one stem/stash/stir/clip-pick wood storage carry tube. Brilliant!!! Where do you come up with all this stuff? Brilliant!!!Its about damn time, I live in a rural part of the state here in the deep south, have satellite internet, its all we can get out here in the sticks. They charge you a hellova price for service that is very spotty. A freaking dark cloud could blow over Cincinnati and it affect my service. I hate it but its all I have besides a cell. Hey but its up and so now I can answer some posts and we can get to the show and tell portion of the day!
@beach bum I feel ya, time is always something I am running out of! Hell if you know where to find some pls dont keep it to yourself, tell me where I can get some. Glad youre still enjoying the stems, thats what its all about. I have been growing so much that I have had to let somethings go and concentrate on the demand for others. I am only selling the natural scent BAB now. I really didnt have time to make all the different flavors with setup and clean up after each scent so not to contaminate the other scent, different labels and all that went into it. The Blackberry sage was one of my favorites also. I have two HI's one is for vaping and the other is for fragrant oils. I still rock the BB/Sage from time to time. Yeah dont be a stranger, come on by and sit a spell! I always enjoy your presence.
@vakedcow Glad to hear you are looking at better dayz bro! Just holla when your ready and I will make the magic happen.
@Reflections Oh just hang in there with me til the end of the post dear!
@Stu Thanks for stopping by, am happy to hear from you and you know I appreciate the kind words! I gotta tell ya, on the combustion side of the market it has gotten slow. I dont do nearly as well selling dugouts as I did in the past. They were a third of my sales just a year or so ago and for some reason the sales for them have dropped off. The freaking vapor industry is blowing up though or maybe I got in at just the right time. My vapor stems have become my bred and butter of the biz, I am really blessed to be a part of this revolution. The future is now and I working hard to strike while the iron is hot! The future is so bright, better dayz are ahead and I hear the knock of opportunity loudly at my door!
@Enchantre I am glad to hear your piece arrived, I hope its serving you well and thank you for the pics, I do so dig pics! I have sent ya an email, pls reply when you are able.
@CarolKing Your pieces look great, those pieces are always fun to make. I love doing something a little different even if it takes a little longer to produce the finished piece is so worth it! Thank
@KidFated. & @Quetzalcoatl Your suggestion are always the first thing I do before I call those jackass's at Hughesnet. I hate dealing with their tech service, you never ever get a rep you can understand, its always the same thing, unplug this, turn off that, try to hardwire it in yeah yeah yeah. I love the country life but the internet sucks, guess thats part of the sacrifice for living in paradise.
@radiantchipmunk Hello and thank you for your interest in my work. So far the Nano wongs I have made were custom requests. I have been so slammed with normal stems to dealers and trying to find time to add new products to the inventory is slow to happen. If you would like something done pls let me know. Have a look at all the various species I offer at my website, pick a flavor and size, then let me know what youre feeling and I will do my best to fit you in! Thank again and I look to hear from you soon.
@CarolKing You slipped another post in on me! That is a pretty pic, you have a nice collection growing there. Thanks for your support, I wish you many good times when using those pieces.
Alright then, now you all get to see what I have been cooking!
From time to time I would search for a tool to remove the clip from inside the solo stems and now that I started making stems for the Nano and others I have been using more and more clips in the bushing to hold the screens in place. I never really seemed to find what I was looking for nor did I really know what I was looking for. I just couldnt see it! I am a guy that has to see it on the blackboard in order to understand how to solve the problem. I just couldnt put two and two together. I spent a couple days back looking for a tool, I thought if I could find a teeny tiny pry bar that could be slipped down into the bushing the user could lift up the clip and remove it so the screen could be swapped out. I searched for all kinds of tools, even found out that there are tools for opening and working on cell phones called spudge tools, say what, I had no idea. I than thought came across a straight pick because I use the pointed end of a compass to remove my clip. Hmmmm so I looked long and hard for a straight pick that wasnt in a set of 5. I then found a scratch awl that would do what I needed it to. I searched for a while to find some nice scratch awls when it dawned on me, hey I can make that and so I did. Here is the first clip removal tool I have made, hope you like it!
The clip has a two eyes, one in either end of the clip, you can poke the point of the tool into one of the eyes and lift up at an angle, this will dislodge the clip and allow you to lift it out. Its very handy and takes a little frustration out of swapping out the screen.
This is an idea that was put in my head by an FC member, they wanted me to do some custom work and asked if I could make a tube to store their stem in as well as their stash. I gave it some thought and looked into threading wood and trying to find a way to cap the thing. I look at all kinds of different caps from vinyle to metal to hinged to screws hell I must have wasted a bunch of time on google. Dont get me wrong I find a bunch of stuff there but I also waste alot too. I thought about a wooden deer call and all of a sudden it hit me, the call is one piece of wood in the other with an Oring holding the two together! Damn it after all the thinking I had been doing, why didnt I think of the Oring a long time ago. That was my answer and the fire was lit. I had to make it happen and was itching to do so.
Its 1" OD x about 6" in length, it has a cavity for storing a 3" stem/wong in the longer portion to the right of the band turned in it. The left side has a short cavity a little over an inch in depth for your stash. The two storage areas have an ID of 3/4" that will allow you plenty of room your herb and for using a variety of different stem whether it be wood or glass. I have also install a pointed metal rod for removing a clip if need be or even stir your load between hits. The rubber orings help to hold the caps in place so you dont have to worry about loosing the contents in your pocket or where ever. If you have any questions or comments pls share em with me.
I would like to think that these pieces could be useful and would like to hear your thoughts.
I gotta get my ass moving, I have a bunch of Budweisers and my bro in law is cooking a 100lbs of crawfish! I am gonna eat so many by the end of the night I will be walking backwards!

My Solo was set at 7 using the Bog Oak shorty dry and I didn't find it to be hot at all ...not even warm really.I'm fully sold on one of the bog oak stems for my solo. As soon as they are back in stock I'll be getting one. Question; if I normally run on 7, will a shorty stem be to hot and harsh? Does the longer one provide needed cooling? I'd prefer the shorty for many reasons, but the long one looks nice and wouldn't be a deal breaker.
