Good Morning and Happy New Year all!
Here's the Lil' Bud Plan...
Pre order pricing has been adjusted and extended. I've given the customer a couple of options, packages, and ways to get on the pre order list. There is also a more long term waiting list option available.
Units that sell now should ship some time in February. My pre order list seems to be building, so the wait might increase somewhat. I've been editing the website and am always blown away at how nice it is using GoDaddy vs manually putting in code. Very cool, can't wait to get some real cosmetic shots and cool galleries going.

I have been reading FC again lately ,just haven't "logged in" in recent months. Now Just found this thread, fuckin beautiful! Logged in!
@Bravesst , congratulations, I've yet to read the thread entirely but I will be visiting your website to register! and will try to save coins for when my turn comes. (You might have to battle it out with Alan should my turn come on his list prior to yours , cNt really afford any vapes right now lol he knows I'm looking for a quality portable vape ) I had intentions of building square log vapes But never got around to it, happy that you followed through with your ideas, you sound as good a fellow as Alan is!
@Alan , you're the man! Props to you for helping Mike out , you are the Yoda that binds us vapers! Happy new year , stay cool and HI
Quite sure Bravesst helped me in selecting or using my bamboo HI too .
@KeroZen , couldn't help but smirk at your post about rbt patent and stuff lol. In all seriousness though, you seem to have a wealth of knowledge in electronics and vaping . Thinking you'd make a kick ass vaporizer if ever venturing in vape building. your input surely does help builders fine tune their rigs I'm sure!
Feels and sounds like the lil'bud will be the best vape of 2108 folks!!! Get on it now !
Lil' Bud pricing has been set, with options for a wood mouthpiece and batteries. The pre order option has been slightly adjusted, and savings will continue at least for January. You can also register to get on the Lil' Bud or Timber waiting list for 2018.
I apologize for any changes / confusion, but I'm trying to keep things as simple and equitable as possible.
Thanks for the chance to tell the story one more time. It's kind of like free advertising. Okay, here goes, the story behind the Lil' Bud (hopefully, I won't get tired of telling it).
From the wood body, tapered wong(w), side load battery, and modified terminals, to the coil heater, vent holes, and detachable switch box, I've spent that last few months designing every aspect of this all wood portable dry herb vape.
Yeah, it's a rectangle that fits in the palm of your hand.
HEATER / BATTERY
The coil design sets this vape apart, making it much very efficient, with associated battery life, because virtually no pre heat is necessary, adding quite a bit of control to the unregulated process. This is Alan's design, and he is very cool with me using his exact heater technology, and adapting it to this hand held portable.
SWITCH
I've tried at least a half a dozen switches. Maybe because of all the e-cig mods being built, the 12mm momentary push switches are all quite similar. Instead of selecting a switch style based on the criteria of *different*, I will be selecting a switch that is the *best* for this application, along with a dozen or so other parts I've had to hunt down from many different sources.
UNREGULATED
There are plenty of regulated vapes out there you can choose from. If you want to go regulated portable, I highly recommend the iHeat cartridge.
@P.A.M.
When it comes to batteries for this application, stick with the three I posted, all available on IMR. Stay away from amazon / ebay. I will be stocking a cheaper glass alternative as I found a supplier, but I recommend getting one of Alan's cherry tubes (first batch of mouthpieces will all be cherry) to complete the all wood air path.
I'm testing battery life right now. I can tell you the fast heat up of the coil really saves battery life. I like the Samsung 30q's because they seem to last longer.
Samsung 30Q
2600mAh (Milliamp Hours or how long it lasts)
15A (Amps or how hot it can get)
Microdosing is what this vape is made for. Whether you stir often or not, a small amount goes a really long way. I will include a pic tool that helps keep those screens spotless, and sessions long.
Cool that you are on waiting list for both iHeat and splinter . You'll know for yourself and share at your will which one you prefer or if the evolution of Ryan's heater concept is going forward. I personally dont doubt the guys improvements are for the best . I also believe that less material or parts needed to build a quality vape , the better.Respectfully - I had read the thread before posting and made my comments accordingly.
I am on the waiting list for an iheat heater cartridge and a splinter. However have owned a tubox and much prefer regualted vaping.
That being said, we have not experienced a single occurrence of the problem in the wild
