I grabbed #5 of those burls with this code
I know the others are cheaper. I've already had a nova and liked it quite a bit more than my SBJ and SBR so I figured I'd invest in the aesthetics of it.
Preliminary report: this is a very nice orange vape!
Let's see what it can do....
How is the Cosmo bowl with an injector? Deep enough for an Atlas?

To be honest, I doubt it will be. It's ~17cm across, ~1cm deep. The HR bottoms out, and the B0 is probably too deep, too. My measurements probably need verified, I'm just sayin'!
Thanks! This is good info. Cosmo still seems awesome in any case.

I'm really enjoying it. It's got a very short, wide-open heat path so I've needed to back off with the torch and give it a little room, but I feel like I'm getting handy with it and that I'll think of it as very responsive.
More heat = faster to extract and bigger vapor.
I preferred a single torch zippo for mine, turned up. sent the jet down the intake a bit and got fast extraction every time. Definitely recommend the nova. It holds a lot and is hard to combust in. You can really ride that high temp line.
Very well built, too.

You mean the dimpled stem? Yes
For the past 3 years (I think) he had a discount code that was valid from 4/20 to the end of April. Although I think he usually puts it up by now. I suppose you could always ask directly to see what Doug is planning.

if not I'll still probably pick one up, though i'm a little concerned about the heating technique vs sticky brick. I'm used to shooting straight down the nozzle, but the "fanning" method he shows in the video seems more difficult to me. but people seem to say it's easier to pick up?
anyone tried one with a Neo by the way?

I found best results shooting straight down the intake glass with a single torch.
Neo unfortunately does not work. You have to swivel the bottom to be able to put the Neo on the bowl and that causes a break in the airpath. Triple flame torch and fanning has yielded the best results for me. If you have used any brick style butane vape before it will probably be very easy to pick up the technique with minimal effort.

I am back here with a few new vaporizer including the wonderful NOVA from Doug's Woodery 
I must say that I am a big lover of brick style vaporizer, I find that it offers better potential than electric portable vaporizers (that's just my opinion).
The NOVA is quite different from a sticky brick despite the strong similarities, It offers a herb chamber with a much larger diameter but a lesser depth, which changes a lot of things, a larger flame and required for good experience. I find that the bowl is more easily uniformly cooked like that. The small concave screen is surely for a few things.
I find that the central magnet is a good thing is it offers a really comfortable handling
Personally I compare it to a small pocket SBL OG, YES! it works like a charm:
Everything is made by Doug's itself including glassware, Besides, the personalized augmented glass are really very successful, I love
I had my NOVA with 20% reduction, Doug's often makes discounts it's nice!
The dimensions are quite similar to a SBL Jr:
Turn, stir, tamp and vape, it's easy
In short .. I love the bricks! Brick lover, you need it without a doubt

It's beautiful what kind of wood is it? I love my NOVA so much that I'm hesitating to order a second customized one 
WPA for sticky brick works like a charm:
I'd like to try some of the other MP Dougs has to offer, it's great what he's doing

Comparison in device threads is frowned on, but there are many threads comparing the different bricks:
Brick Showdown - SB vs Doug vs O'Connell
As the title implies, I'm wondering what are people's opinions on the differences between the different brick options out there. I've been eyeing a brick as my next vape purchase but I'm having a lot of trouble narrowing it down. I'm especially interested in opinions from those who have owned...

Suggest me an affordable heavy hitting desktop? (Sticky brick vs competitors)
Been looking into the sticky brick, noisy cricket, dougs woodery, dreamwood, etc. which is the best to hook up to multiple 18MM bongs? I’m assuming all I’ll need is one of these and a torch. Any suggestions? Only other option would maybe be the Tinymight.

Ah great thank you for this, I should've been a bit more thorough with my searching!

Mini sticky bubbler is just fantastic with the NOVA 
Be careful, however, because depending on the type of wood and therefore the weight of the brick, the bubbler can cause it to tip over (as in this case with Maple in the correct position), in any case it works perfectly, but I wouldn't use it every day in this configuration, as the bubbler knocks the NOVA over, perhaps get a heavier NOVA than this for everyday use without risk with this configuration

Starting to wrap my head around this thing. My seller gave me a J hook and a WPA adapter which was nice of them. I've noticed flame positioning is a little hard but I think I am getting there. My bowls are quite small as I am a bit of a lightweight. Would a more well packed bowl make it more consistent? I also notice my throat being scratchy after use the day of and the following day. Is this a thing with Brick style units? Or is it user error?

I don't have a Nova so I'm not sure how similar it is to my Cosmo, but the Cosmo is quite unlike the rest of my torch vapes in that you can only fan the flame across the intake from the side or you will combust, it is that stark. This was an issue initially but I read up a bit and the suggested fanning technique really helped.
Couple things may help: try to get handy with it before you try it through water. The added restriction and bubbling can play havoc with you as you try to learn the proper technique for your device. Once you're comfortable generally, adapting to the waterpipe will be easier.
As far as packing is concerned, too little herbs will not work at all, but all you should need is a layer that covers the screen, maybe one mm deep if that. Even out the top of it by tamping/twisting very lightly. If it's too much for you, you can always rejoin it in progress with no harm or cut it with cbd hemp.
As far as the scratchiness is concerned, it could be several things: new wooden vapes often require seasoning with reclaim oils after which harshness is seriously reduced; you may have a slight allergy or sensitivity to that wood; the dry heat of the vapor may be irritating; and because of the incredible efficiency of bricks, you may sometimes feel terp burn from the too-successful delivery of the richness of your particular flower. Water should help with most of these issues.
