I'm having a little more luck with my beautiful Brick. I've been getting good hits, my issue is that it's taking a while to start forming vapor.
I'm pretty sure I need a new torch. I have some Xing torch lighters on the way, in the mean time I plan on picking up a bigger torch locally. The Eagle torch that came with it from Puffitup seems weak, even at max power I have to be pretty aggressive with the flame to get vapor. Not a big deal as I was planning on starting a torch collection anyway lol.
I love the tweezers and stir stick that came with it, and it's cool that they stick to the side to keep them nice and handy. The light on the tweezers is very useful for checking how done the bowl is.
The walnut is beautiful. I'm glad I chose it over the cherry, although I'm sure those look great too. The dark wood just makes it look a little classier in my opinion. The glass on the mouthpiece is crazy thick, and the heat intake stem is very thick too. Great craftsmanship all around!
