Lil' Bud is built to be as electronics free as possible. The gauge measures the battery when not in use, and the unit should not be used with the gauge attached. Just pop off the back plate, touch terminals, and it will read our current battery level. Remove, replace the back plate and you're ready to go. That's how your gauge will work.Thanks a million, I just grabbed one and a battery indicator. Question, is it possible not to install the battery indicator and send it to me separately? I'd rather just pull off the door and touch the battery the way you did in the video demo.
Perfect! Exactly what I wanted and was hoping for.Switch Testing
I test I continue to love the flush/round 3 amp switch. I've tried loading *wrong*, a bit sloppy, maybe pack too tight, too much, too little, to see what happens. The session suffers, but LB has been fine. Drawing slow, fast, hard, long, short. Results vary but I need to make sure the switch can stand up to not just perfect LB technique, but abuse. There is going to be lots and lots of testing before this batch gets assembled, to make sure switch failure, LB's only vulnerability, becomes a thing of the past.
After speaking with Alan about the issue, he feels it is the contacts inside the switch that cannot handle the amperage. 3 amps is necessary to handle the 18650 battery. The coil isn't heating the switch, the switch is heating on its own. We can tell this because the wood disk that the coil is mounted to, and the wires snake through, is not charred, nor is the inside of the oven - the heat is in the switch.
Yes, the new switch is a bit bigger, but I managed to work it into the design with just a few adjustments. I feel it will solve this issue, but I need to be 100 percent sure before I start shipping.
Been vaping lots (for science), so to ease my throat I started using a little bit of hemp fiber in the end of my stems. Not a lot, just kinda ball it up in there, nice and loose. Once I got the hang of it, the difference is pretty big. It does steal a little taste, but LB has so much taste. Key is getting the hemp just right - better too loose than clogging things up.

You'll love the battery gauge! Super fun tool! Welcome to FC and aboard the LB plane , flying high!!Perfect! Exactly what I wanted and was hoping for.
Thank you very much, I can hardly wait. I have a love for anything made from wood.You'll love the battery gauge! Super fun tool! Welcome to FC and aboard the LB plane , flying high!!
Ive been doing this for some time with the Milaana .What I do is roll the hemp to make a 1" worm. I then roll it like a cinnamon roll and place that in a screen. I then place the screen at the midpoint of the stem. I definitely cuts the temp down, but does slightly "discolor" the taste of the hit though!Been vaping lots (for science), so to ease my throat I started using a little bit of hemp fiber in the end of my stems.

Quiet this morning, but busy.
Batch 7 in all her glory
Quilted Freaking Maple: really expensive, tough to work with, but worth it.
Notice the symmetry, rounder edges, especially at the back plate
Some sweet looking units
Excuse me while I form a few coils...
Why can't I see the photos????
Is it my settings? My stomach is in knots....
That really sucks. It's been an issue lately on all of FC.Nope, still can't see em. I took advantage of the deal already, much appreciated but I'm looking for PORN
I can sneak away, bang out a stem in 3 hits, and get my face knocked off.
The hemp may sacrifice a bit of taste, but allows me to take much larger hits. Maybe there are some particulates in the vapor that get filtered out as well. I'm ordering more hemp, beginning to love the rapid extraction.exactly
Beautiful LB! Awesome , love to be able to do quick sessions just like longer sessionsLast night of my in laws over. I had to escape to my shop a couple of times for quick extraction. I'd put the below unit together just prior (flush round switch). It's got a bit of hemp fiber half way down the stem. Here's what I found.
I was able to extract the entire microdose (loaded until basket screen full) in two or three huge hits, a quick stir, and one more. This wasn't about sipping while relaxing, but rather rapid extraction. Between the LB 2.0 power and the hemp fiber smoothing effect, I was ripping away. Here's the Lil' Cherry beauty.
Current sale only applies to the basic package yeah? I'm interested in the "Total Package". Maybe I could live without the battery guage and extra screens ...Some of you have who've been following the thread have probably expected a Cherry sale. Well, here it is, happy 4th of July! For me, it's the easiest wood to work with, while everybody is buying up the Quilted Maple, Purple Heart, and Figured Walnut (quite difficult to work with). I've got lots and lots of beautiful cherry stock, and quite a few Cherry LB's in the works.
Time to move some Cherry LB's, coupon code cherryinjuly will save you 20% on a Basic Cherry Lil' Bud only. This sale will run through the weekend, ending Sunday night at midnight. The first few units will get into batch 7 (LB 2.o).

Like I said, in a previous post., I do this with the milaana short stem by rolling a hemp worm, about 1" long. I ,then, roll it like a cinnamon roll and place it in a basket screen halfway down the stem. Cools things down quite a bit. It does creates a bit more restriction though! You can, after a number of sessions, put the basket screen in the vape and get the reclaim off the Hemp fiber!!!Hemp Fiber
I've fallen in love with hemp fiber. I took a piece of fiber about an inch long, rolled it up so it fits nicely, pushed it half way down the stem, making sure it's not too tight, and draw is still good
