Phattpiggies Wood Shed

[Winegums]

Sorry if this is a stupid question but are these stems for use with the omnivap or can they be used with the dynavap original vapcap?

I'm interested in getting one and getting a wooden stem, but at the moment the omnivap is too expensive to justify!

Stems are longer at 62mm and require an XL size condenser if you wish to use a mouth piece

Bodies are shorter at 45mm and can only be used with regular length condensers w/ mouth pieces.

If you decide to get an Omni condenser after you get a Ti model just make sure you're aware of the difference between bodies and stems. Piggy will have some additional information that pertains to his specific stems I'm sure.

Okay, I basically just want to know what I need to buy to be able to get one of these beautiful stems.

How much would that stunning Blackwood and aluminium stem set me back @phattpiggie?

Blackwood and Aluminium

 

[phattpiggie]

No question is stupid. I encourage people to ask questions and discuss ideas. If you're unsure then ask.

Thanks @Winegums I was minutes behind you. How much fun is all this shit!!!!

The shorter Padauk Twist would be suitable for an Omni XL.

It would look like this as the XL

These are some of the first Omni I did, they were all a learning experience but a set of bushes from @Ed's TnT opened my eyes to being able to make them with less problems.
They would probably work but they have cracks which was down to the way I had to hold them, can't thank Ed enough for helping me see the obvious.
I had the mandrel and had no idea how big other bushings went until they arrived.

@VanCough PM me and we can work out what you'd like and a price, there is a queue so all you need is a bit of patience, I will be starting a new list soon and a pair of hands should be arriving next week, attached to a body, that will help me fulfil orders and do the R&D for some other stuff people have asked for.

could someone give me the "size" of tubing you need to have the TI Tip fit into? I want to work on ideaas but I am lost as to the internal circumference. I could go buy calipers but alas I know you guys know it already. Must be a standard size for sure. Oh.. BTW.. how do you upload pictures? can you only link to them?

Thanks all
GW

 

[phattpiggie]

@GeeWhiz it's 8mm but I'd buy some decent vernier calipers anyway so you can check the ID of any tube you buy.

If you've got an Imgur account then paste the link into the box that opens when you click the picture icon next to the icon is the best I can offer there is a thread about it.

if you buy one of @phattpiggie s longer stems then all you need is a Dynavap titanium tip and cap.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but are these stems for use with the omnivap or can they be used with the dynavap original vapcap?

All of the ti tipped models are completely modular and some of the stems and bodies @phattpiggie makes are meant to fit onto a stainless steel Vapcap condenser with a Dynavap mp.

The OG Vapcap is a one piece all glass tip/body model. It is not modular and cannot accommodate any of the custom bodies and stems.

@HD Springer I found some of this so we should be okay, and had @Ruta here last nite and have still abstained. I don't know whether it's vaping, age or life situation or all three mixed together but when I smoked I found it very difficult going without.

Had a quick phone conversation with @priestsmiler earlier and I am glad to say that the UK postal system is reliable enough for him to have received his parcel in good time.
Can't say the same for the US system.

The order was for a SS body, either a short body so he could fit his own MP or a longer one, but it had to fit the airtight tubes George sends stuff out in. He got a bit of both.

As he had faith in me and paid me up front, not something I would normally accept, I sent him out an extra long condenser tube with a Blackwood MP with the short body and a long body with a MP and condenser George sent over with my last order.

The lower SS tube came from a fellow VC user and is very thin walled and weighs a lot less than the short one.

As the whole @VapCap set up allows for chopping and changing PS now has the long condenser fitted to the rifled glass body I sent him the first time and I seem to think he mentioned buying tips for the other stuff. Not that he's been bitten by the VC bug at all.

@phattpiggie, I made a copper stem for my OmniVap XLS and I really like the clean look and the contrast between the copper and the Ti Mouthpiece and Tip.

 

[Hogni]

Copper is cool! Would you post a pic please?

Haha! I though I added the pic, but I didn't.

I just updated my original post with the pic but here it is again just in case.

I've been working on some schematics to help me describe the customisations I'm hoping for from @phattpiggie and @Winegums

Below is a mockup of an OmniXL (if anyone has more accurate measurements let me know and I'll update the diags).

I'm more than happy to do another with non-XL dimensions if people want one but someone will have to provide me with the condenser length as I don't have one to measure.

@HD Springer it's been a trip and a half so far, next stop Champs.
It's a humbling experience signing into FC and seeing a load of notifications and PM's.

@TheVaporist many thanks it would be a pleasure to make you something and a big kick to see it in a classy photo.

@M0J0 looks very in keeping, like the addition of the O ring at the MP.

@GreenHopper Nice drawings, long time since I did any like that and they'd have been done with a set of draughting pens. Don't have an XL but could probably work out the dimensions and see where I get.

Great day, had @Ruta round for a social. Always good to catch up and bounce a few ideas around.
Got this 62mm Ovangkol done, I'll do a square with the same style MP and see how it looks.

Went all plastic before Ruta arrived.
Honey Bee and Blackwood. I'll get some better shots of the Blackwood 'hot end' it's the busiest piece I've ever seen. Colors, eyes and swirls.

I did the Indian Summer stem a while back and had always been meaning to finish off the matching 14mm.

 

[Hogni]

Hi @phattpiggie, the Indian Summers look very nice!

@M0J0 Yepp, following pp, the o-rings are a good choice.
Wait until the copper will build up patina. Its already nice but then it will be a real beauty

I LOVE those acrylics! Surprises me because I love the warmth, history, and life of wood.

 

[HD Springer]

Those Indian summer one's might just be my absolute favorite looking of any stems I've seen. I'm not sure if I'd ever use them though. I'd hate to drop them. You know me Phatts.

Love those 'india summer' one's, especially the one in the foreground.

Is that an 18mm or 14mm pSonG (@phattpiggieStem-on-Glass)?

That's what I will be wanting...first

Also did anyone else see the 'eye of sauron' in the foreground piece?

Segmented Thuya Blackwood Twisted Square, enough said.

@phattpiggie, yepp, your are my good boy!

Your works are getting better and better....

Awesome.

I blame my VAS on you, phattpiggie! Haha

 

[Squiby]

^^^ I like that! I'm going to blame @phattpiggie for my lack of self control as well.

Shame on you Phattpiggie, for the Thuya Segmented Twisted Square is sensational!!!

 

[Joaon]

Awesome piece my friend !
Can't take my eyes off that one ..

 

[phattpiggie]

It takes a lot of effort doing them only made worse as you get closer to the end and all the lines you're working to start to disappear.

I liked the look of just the 2 flats and I may try a 3 flat version as well.

 

[needalift]

@phattpiggie , you are killin it lately !! That Thuya Blackwood joint is amazing !! You are making me want to invest in a lathe and learn how to turn .

 

[phattpiggie]

@needalift all you need is a decent pen lathe, some tools and a willingness to get stuck in and have a go.

I totally forgot I had a conversation with a man who dyes and stabilises wood today.
Possibility of some nice custom blanks to come from him.

 

[Ruta]

Segmented Thuya Blackwood Twisted Square, enough said.

Wow

 

[VanCough]

@phattpiggie are the plastic stems safe to vaporise through? They look awesome.

Also, do your stems, like the Blackwood and aluminium one I like, fit inside the dynastash? And, if not will you be making an equivalent custom housing for your stems by special request?

Also, why don't you use a condenser inside your stems? What is the purpose of a condenser?
