Hey hey everyone, let me jump right into this.
@Slickwilly Bro you have a gorgeous load of wood, way cool. I remember doing that LE top rim Karelian piece it was alot of fun. I have been giving your stem stand idea some thought and have looked into materials for this purpose and hope I can get a chance to work on that in the future. I appreciate what you mentioned and do feel there is something that can be done. Appreciate it again and thanks for sharing all your wood. Hope you are safe and healthy.
@letter never sent IKR, SW is just showing off right lol, haha nah hes got a great collection for sure. Thats what I was thinking to bro, hard to say whats the best way to hit it through water or dry its user preference and mood most of all. Hows that VVPS working for you now bro? WS stems come with a Ti condenser. Appreciate the recommendation bro! Appreciate you stepping up with advise also bro. Glad to hear you are diffing the WS and finding it to be all that for you. Gorgeous Coco 510 bro.
@Ramahs I feel you and feel others do as well. Most arent for LE but then there are just some pieces that its hard not to like.Woot woot bottoms up my man, love it.
@delicatebunti Thats a hard question to answer and feel thats to each their own. What have you come to yourself? I think other users do start at a lower temp and roll up toward the end of the load. Gotta believe as
@Ramahs mentioned draw speed would have something to do with that also that and I feel spinning the stem as you draw as well.
@Engleja Coincidence ya say, hmm. Nice way to do what ya do brother. Thanks for posting up with advise bro, always appreciate others stepping in and sharing their experiences. Really appreciate the kind words bro, you know all to well how I do and thank you for sharing that. Gotta love those detailed bottoms, most dont often post that thanks for starting this.
@LesPlenty Thats what I was thinking too bro, less is more right. Thanks also for stepping in with advise bro.
@Alex3oe Hm 11v would be like 8-9 on the dial, 14v is definitely on the upper end.
@Mako Kupo Hmmm my bad on that btw. Hope you are square now. I would say start low, your units are all the newer upgraded heaters and shouldnt need to start at 12 volts, that would be on the high end and should have to go over that at all really with upgraded heater hope this is helpful to you as well
@letter never sent . Good idea bro, be hard to match some of those wood stems you have almost impossible. I have never really had an issue stirring my stem and having dirty filter discs. I hit it, stir it hit it again stir it and hit it again then blow it out am good to go. I pack mine a bit more than most do, usually get 3-5 hits per pack. Wow bro thats a hella recommendation itself from you brother, wow again thanks so much my man. Also dont forget its a great unit for aromatherapy as well. Ohh wow thats a way cool find there the basket screen press, I like that very much. Always giving great advise bro, thanks again.
@alleyhoops Appreciate the insight bro. Rocking the duo hey hey.
@JEMSKU There ya go if that works for you rock it bro, thanks for sharing your experience.
@Tombudster I cant say whether one or the other is right or wrong but can say I dont feel you can go wrong with either as I have all of the Epics units and they are great at what they do. Yes Titanium does not retain the heat as much as SS does and cools much quicker.
@letter never sent is correct there is no cap used when doing it with the WS. Load the tip, no cap, place on top of the air path and draw slow and consistently for a solid hit. The filter disc is very tight and doesnt really allow any material down into the unit. As he also said there are some great videos out there being used pls have a look. Did you score that Canary and has it made it there yet? Ah yes I remember your email now. Sorry I couldnt get you right then. The glass stem with no tip allows you to place a conical screen in to your preferred depth. I load it similarly with grind technique as I do the tip but more or less depending on what I am going for.
@GoldenBud Appreciate that bro!
@jardri Thanks for posting up.
@Daprezz I have seen it bro, my guy the WoodScents Ambassador over at IG can do it every time, he is a monster. Thats interesting bro no oring, if it works work it right. Way to go bro, #bottomsup
@gingerbier Appreciate the recommendation, thanks much. Nice #417 thanks.
Who here has swapped out the unit and stem filter discs with SS mesh screens I know some have and have raved about increase air flow and performance.
@Mr. Me2 My man you are correct. I do have some canadian LE pieces I need to turn in the next batch but also have those one of a kind pieces with LE from time to time that peeps can get with me about if thats what they are looking for. Thanks much for the recommendation and stepping up with your post, must grateful.
@Chandler Hello, yes older models can absolutely be sent in for heater upgrade. Get at me if you havent and lets get that ball rolling if you like. I hope all is well and you and yours are safe and healthy.
@Stone as Emma Wow that is a different way of doing things I dont think I have heard of hmm. Oh wow for sure Moroccan Hash in the Moroccan WS, that makes the most sense right woot woot. Firsts rule bro, glad to hear it. Your rig is a for sure show stopper, really love all the eyes in your slammed piece gotta love that lower end.
Gosh yall I gotta get my butt out from under all this work I am buried in and get my display case lighting run and get log collection show case set up. I have a bottom like none other 1 of only 3, the twisted bocote WS collaboration piece done by
@phattpiggie its the only WS I have in my collection and one I will treasure forever.
I have been slammed to say the least, got 30 plus WS going out to Sneaky Pete as well as a couple hundred new offerings I am doing fir him as a collaboration with DV that has never been done before that I cant mention details of just yet. Gotta get couple hundred Arizer stems out to another dealer in just as many weeks before I can get back to doing my own work. I am super excited to get back to making WS and hopefully get another version or two of the WS/Vapor Bomb done to get closer to final for release soon. Not to mention I have to work on the 2020 model change which I have somewhat in mind. Yeah I gots plenty to do.
Been doing more and more time with the boys during this epidemic. Ordered 3 tomahawk throwing axes other day, figured that would be a neat way to do self isolation with them and get em off their phones and game consoles as well. Who dont like throwing stuff with sharp metal edges that can cut right. Cant wait tbh I have never done this and am excited to learn and do so with them. Have found a honey hole bass pond on google maps a short walk through the woods where we have gone a few times and caught many. Gotta love hidden honey holes too. We are still shut down here and nothing much is happening. My sons have had about all this not going anywhere they can stand and Im not too far behind them. Would love a night out, gosh there is tacos and enchiladas that need eating. Yeah I know there are curbside pick up but thats just not the same.
Am hoping all is well out there for you all. Have spoken to a couple people here and there that have had the virus and are doing better which is a blessing and am thankful I dont know anyone personally and thankful none of my family has had to deal with it but know there are so many that have and hate that for them and you all who have. All I wish for everyone is that this passes quickly and you all are safe and healthy. Pls pls stay strong stay safe and keep your heads up during this tough tough time.
