That actually makes more sense that it is sap. It may have been irresponsible of me by not saying it was probably natural and safe. I was a little disappointed when mine did this because mine didn't just simply scrape off.
I never had this happen with my older splinters or milaanas. It may just be an overlooked characteristic of this wood type. Anyone else see it on other woods?
Please, do share link

It is a characteristic of bubinga. If you search Google for it, you'll see comments to the effect "If you are lucky enough to get a sample without sap pockets..." This wood is used to make tobacco pipes, but I don't know if oozing sap is a problem with them.

Yeah blackwood has resin that can ooze at high heat, as seen with other vape products that use it (African Blackwood stems etc)

Oh okay, thanks everyone for the responses, I used a scraper to get the sap off and back to smooth again. Is this something I'm just gonna have to deal with in the future or can I put something on it so sap doesn't ooze out again? I was using it at 40 watts when it happened. Edit: Would getting a heat sink help also?

It shouldn't keep happening, others had posted about it in the old threads, and it eventually stopped, but yes it is caused by excessive high heat, so as long as you let it cool down a bit, you should be fine?
I don't know about using a heat sink. It happened to mine a second time but it wasn't as bad, and it hasn't happened since.

Sorry about the misinformation. I was remembering from last year, or maybe it was 2018, when multiple people reported not being able to find it.

Done, but I want the record to show that I did it reluctantly. In my opinion the Splinter is an excellent device and I wish it hadn't been discontinued.

100% agree with pak. So weird to see the discontinued tag on this thread. 
@RastaBuddhaTao, I would like to see you continue selling the 19/19mm long XLR8s & WPAs as there will always be a need due to glass breakage. I, like many, many others, expect to have my Splinters (& Mis) a very along time. I handle my 3 with the utmost respect.

That was a shock when I first saw it.
Me too. The efficiency and the flavor is unmatched. Plus they’re just beautifully made.

Ryan gets, ...no, feels, vape design. I do hope that RBT does come back with some of the new ingenuity Ryan discussed in his above video. I would make me personally very sad to think that RBT would disappear forever.

I love my Splinter Z, it's a great device and it feels wrong that RBT is closing up shop. I'll be an RBT customer for life.
Thanks RBT for all your hard work and continued determination.
If only I could afford a few more Zee's. Theres still plenty of stock in europe + ww shipping.
Whats kind of life expectancy could we expect with the heat elements? Would be nice to have a couple spare.

I am also from Europe and a fanboy of splinters - og and Z- . I need backups for sure, and i can't find them ( the Z's) nowhere except Vapefield.

According to @RastaBuddhaTao, @khelek41girl has been provided with parts for in and out of warranty repairs. Who knows how long they'll last, but they are available. I'd like to thank Ryan as well. He's taken a lot of shit on this and other forums, but he has always been straight up and responsive with me.
I think VF are the only guys holding stock. Havent used me Splinter in time, might have to see how that Milaana heater compares to the Z now days.
Will give both a pm at some point see if they can provide a spare or 2 for us across the pond. Thanks.

A spare or 2 of what parts?
The mesh thats used for the heater, or specs- awg/micron, if we could find a replacement closer to home.

I love my Splinter Z's! And I'll be Iooking forward to seeing what's next for RBT, but I do hope that this isn't the last of the splinter line! I'd go a bigger heater Ryan!!
Now I've ended up with a extra RX Gen3 with the latest Tubo firmware which I had hoped to use my Tetrax on, problem is the Tetrax is not connecting with it, however my splinter zs are....
So I am wondering what settings should I use on Tubo with the splinter z? Do I just change the resistance and lower the voltage? If so what is recommended??
Many thanks!
