JohnnyVape, our North American hardwoods are all sustainable and renewable. Our American Cherry grows in mixed hardwood forests in the Eastern USA. Ash which will soon be added to the line-up is another plentiful North American hardwood and makes a great baseball bat, among other uses.
In the early PD days, we used some exotic woods. Most never made it (as PDs) due to density issues, but some worked well. Bocote was one. At one time plentiful in Mexico, it has been over-harvested. While it is still available to us, and an attractive wood, we choose not to use it because of the environmental situation. Our Tea Tree and Taz Blackwoods were both sustainable but our source has dried up and we can't get more.
So, it's only North American sustainable hardwoods.
Frikr, that's pretty slick.
I'll give you the exact dimensions on the heat exchanger tube, but warn that a tighter fit makes mating the two parts more difficult with little performance enhancement. It's a 3/8 OD tubing with .035" walls. You can do the decimals while I let you know we use a 9/32" OD vapor tip.
The sauna odor, as a few have described it, including me, dissipates with a little time. Cherry and the other woods we use have a pleasant odor, in the beginning, enhanced by the heat. But like our favorite substance after applying heat and time the odor molecules drift off.
It (odor) was one of the concerns with the black walnut we are testing. It has (possibly) the strongest odor of any of the woods (including the exotics) we have tried. I made one for Pammy, and ran it in a day. I sniffed and wasn't so happy. After two days, ehhh... After three days Pammy took it off the test shelf and declared it her new vape.
After a week or so now, it has no more odor than most other 'newish' PDs and is pleasant. I suspect in a month you won't be able to distinguish it from other woods (by amount of odor).
Edit: Update on the lathe part, UPS tracking says Tuesday, well I'm sure it is going to be faster than 'ground' shipping... So back to more metal work, plastic shaping etc. Not slacking...
I promise, I'll be getting any delayed orders out as quick as I can with plenty of long hours.

and this is why I preach the PD to people
Look at this dedication to help fellow vaporists' achieve a healthier life. and you do it with such enjoyment it seems..another plus. every vape made with love 
The black walnut's odor is possibly decreasing because your getting so used to it
smelling the same smell over time just makes you used to it and you start to small it as 'normal' smells around your house...at least thats how it works for me You are probably an expert, at this point, on different kinds of wood odors so I'm sure your right about it smelling back to normal

yes the tube does get hot at the tip much like the normal tube, but the heat doesnt travel far up the glass.hazy said:Hey Frickr, this looks like a very exciting developmentI'm just wondering, doesn't the glass get hot? I thought that glass would be a pretty good conductor of heat. I'd be interested in some of these if you decide to make a few.

frickr...I don't get any heat on the supplied vapor tube...are you? More importantly, how hot does your glass get? Just warm, or too hot to use...

just the tip of my pd stem gets hot. other than the plastic getting hot that it does not. the same with the glass, the bowl itself gets hot, might burn if you hold it on your skin long enough but will just shock you more maybe sting for a bit. but the end is always cool.
i hold my finger against the tube to hold it against the side, and rest it on the top of the pd and that far away from the bowl tip, its just warm.

hey fickr ,
I just wonder where you got those pyrex tubing , what size and brand it is . I know I ask you a lot , but I just bought a lot of glass tubing to make some pd stem and all of them was'nt the right size , so I spent a lot of cash pretty badly
. I dunno if you can call or ask those question were you bought it I would be MORE THAN HAPPY , I can't wait to make some sick pd stem

Thanks Hennesey, it's not for the money. Most of you know I was retired. Yeah, I make some bucks, but mostly it's something to do, and work I enjoy, that I can feel good about and take pride in.
JohnnyVape, thanks, we try.
You guys and your 'sick' glass... (that means really cool CD) Pammy already owns some CD glass pendants and loves them. Can't wait to see what he comes up with for the PD. Sent him some steel vapor tips a while back but I wasn't sure if the steel and the glass could be made to work together.
Frickr, your design is so simple. No need to complicate things I see.

The point is, we don't need a bunch of "me too" posts derailing this thread.jklasd said:
I've been thinking about a glass bowl/stem since before even trying a PD. Hand worked glass is just beautiful. Functionally though, the stock ss/pp tubes are perfect (unbreakable, very low condensation, odorless) and I can already hear the cries of people breaking glass in the heat exchanger. Not sure I buy glass tasting better... the stock tubes are quite tasteless.
Another cool novelty tube might be a one piece all stainless job.
