Salutations Aaron,
Well, i'm not as curious about temperature than transitional heat storage, for example: the Hammer's contact surface is so minimalist i guess i kind of started wondering why, that's all...

if you are looking for the properties of the material it is stainless steel, which heats up slower and cools down slower then aluminum. in that sense, SS "stores" the heat longer.
if you are wondering why the hammer isn't primarily designed for heat retention use, where like the supreme you heat the element then use it, I don't want to directly speak for the hammer guys but I think they did it because the heatup times would be much longer and the device would have to be bigger to accommodate more SS.
the terms transitional heat storage confuse me a little...

That's true, which is why I think they used just enough to do the job and no more. The top of the Hammer gets uncomfortably hot when it's at working temperature. You probably wouldn't want to put it back in your pocket right after use unless you put it in a case like the one it comes in.
Confusing people is Egzoset's secret superpower.

Whassup my Hammer brothers and sisters? I had to brag on David and share a piece he custom-made for me: a screenless bent GonG. Just beautiful work, and now I have yet another reason to love this little vape. Check it out. I realize, by the way, that the last picture looks like my Hammer is a little...uh...limp, but trust me: It can nail you flat.

Thats a nice little bent neck u have there! Wow how i would love it! to use with the pinnacle
It is perfect and solves the problem of my dope falling into the heating element 
.Good job
Btw found out last time i used the hammer
if you just watch it how much u put in the tubes u can get away with pretty much any temp u want. I was having some combusting problems after getting the lock-on stems... No biggy ofcourse i just had to adapt and back to square one . Always been my biggest mistake with this one, just fill er up till the rim but thats not optimal as you would think 
especially now when the heating element can get inserted a little deeper inside the glass tube. Anyway, I wouldn't say there has been made more place to put your herbs in. its just the same.

So I'm kind of a case nut (as opposed to a nut case) and found the perfect travel bag for my Hammer. It stores the Hammer with an herb vial in the main pocket, my custom stem in the back pocket (with room for more), and my bent GonG in the removable third pocket (foil lined). Got it for about $10 on sale at ALT ($15 reg price).

Hope everyone is having a great summer! We sure have been busy and want to thank you guys for continuing to support the Hammer. Your testimonies and reviews have established the Hammer as one of the most versatile and consistent performing portable vapes on the market. We've heard from many users that were skeptical, but were converted after reading all the positive reviews on FC and are now full fledged Hammerheads 
. We are still working on a few exciting additions to the Hammer accessory family, so stay tuned...
I also wanted to mention that a few weeks ago, we decided to start including the Lock-On Kit & Stems with all new Hammer purchases. Nearly every user we spoke with that switched from the original stems to the lock-on stems, agreed that the Hammer should include it instead as part of the standard configuration. The o-ring and gasket come pre-installed, so the Hammer will be ready to load, lock and vape right out of the box. The non-locking stems (original and extra-deep) will still be available for purchase separately on the site for the time being, but could be phased out as we use up the inventory. The Hammer with LOK is available to all FC members for $119.99 on the FC Special Price page.
As always, feel free to PM me or David if there is anything we can do for you guys. Until next time, stay cool and hammer on!

hey hey, glad to hear from you. your product rocks. good choice for stems. now what ze heck the nail near glass piece, near every is close from one.
I first separate the hammer from the red box but it returned in it with a custom, wpa and lockon stems. like a charm and nothing giggles.
i prefer to hit it with water but horizontally in a female female whip set up. dry is dry but pleasant sometimes.
keep it up with hammer. hip hip!

That's a heck of a deal right there. Add a custom stem and you have a hell of a portable, on-the-spot vape. Add a GonG, and you have a nice little "duck-in-the-back-room-and-take-a-big-rip-with-the-Infamous-so-you-can-function-during-family-get-togethers" vape.
No affiliation, by the way, just a fan.

I wouldn't call it fast. It takes at least 20 seconds and as long as 60 to heat up, depending on how high you set the flame. The higher the setting the noisier it gets. Once it's hot you will need a case or something to put it in before you put it away, or leave it ot until it cools.
Having said all that, it isn't that noisy and it is a great device, especially when batteries just won't do. If it had an unbreakable stem (let's say an Ed's, hmmm...) it would the ideal camping/hiking vape.

Hi all,
I re-discovered this tool among my devices with a new cheap trick for using a vertical water bowl and horizontal unit. I found a clear taste of butane during such setting.
the cheap trick to avoid catching fumes is a small PV tube that put the air intake way above the unit, the taste is very clean. I remove the tube immediately after the session. May be a small metal channel would do it too (but would expose hot part to user).
Such device has really his place on the market and page 3 were too far from me cheers vapebros.

The Hammer website has GonG adapters with a bent neck to prevent this problem.
But if your setup requires the Hammer to be close to horizontal then you can put another lock on stem on the intake side (which will put a lot of distance between the exhaust and your clean air intake).

Alright, thank you for manufacturer information, the hammer is designed to work vertically at first. For the bent stem, it was available after my first and unique order. For the catching fumes, i agree you can also do it with a stem, ill try. The 10cm PV tube make the job wonnderfully.
The hammer device competes for me directly with the lotus, same category, fuel, price range etc. And the results are pretty close.Allow me to to do the match imo:
Both have:
Material Strechers
ultra portable
All in one device: you can have only this device to be vape sufficcent
Good Taste as soon as you make the fume channel for the hammer.
The clear differences are:
high Speed operating but violent and taste of lotus vs controlability of extraction with close to pure convection of hammer.
To sum up the hammer came back in my habits and appear to have a place in the offer of a hypothetical future store. i get back to you for the stem channel cheap trick.
Big up and no hispy hits
EDIT: Ok i followed your advice and mounted the same stock settings (clips+tube) on the other side, and the taste is better from far. Excellent results! solution adopted!

Did i say this thing rocks? The double tube with the fresh air glass intake channel is a portable-butane powered clean hot air. Like a portable VXL unit. almost ful convection. no shit.
Since my last post, it take rid of half of my sesh like a king, through water,bowl vertical, whip in the mouth.
The hard part is the pression you have to maintain to let it work (very user friendly in all other parts). A very small tool is easy to find and make though.

the hammer does rock. I've been getting mine back out lately when i'm sick of batteries and electricity...
today it stopped working, not sure what's going on it with it. doesn't sound or smell like butane is coming out
it was cold over night (40F) and I left it in the car if that means anything

Yes it does. Allow to heat up, test it, if not, test the valve by release and refilling.

thanks.
good news to report, once it warmed up it works again.
the hammer is really a great unit.

my new method of using the hammer builds on my experiences with the thermovape t1, where getting the unit up to heat and then transferring that heat to herbs is essential....
I like to get the hammer nice and hot and then really draw like i mean it, trying to get the heat to all areas of the herbs....a constant draw not a puff... puff...puff.. which will leave you with scorched parts. With this fast constant draw method you really can't have the hammer too hot, which could lead to combustion if you are using other methods...
I've found if your draw is constant and the hammer is hot enough, you don't even have to stir the herbs to get a pretty even duff at the end, as well as huge clouds! this is a big plus to me cause i use it as a portable and don't want to take a stir-tool and fart around stirring if i don't have too.
hope this makes some sense lol before I was trying the puff...puff..puff like it you'd use the mflb.
now the hammer guys just need to get us a non-glass stem!

Yesterday, for bed sesh and due to my very high tolerance and impatience i packed a too big bowl, wanted to heat up fast (high setting) and tadaaaa combusted!
Big cherry, thick smoke in all my glass. I stopped hitting and my mind stopped too.I emptied all the piece to have a old crappy BBQ taste wasting my sesh. blowed away bad bowl and reload to have a BBQ vape sesh but no steaks.
Today some complete jouvence of gong to get rid of tar. crunchy and gooy reclaim

We have been hard at work in the R&D labs!
I am really excited about our new concentrate adapter. By using convection to vaporize your concentrate, you can creep up on the proper temperature (instead of blasting it with insanely high temps).
Also, many of you have asked for an alternative to the glass stems. The obvious choice seems to be a wooden stem with a metal bowl, but the metal bowl gets almost as hot as the heat exchanger inside the Hammer (which is hot enough to cause a real burn - more than just uncomfortable).
The stem needs to be made of something that does not absorb heat like metal. I have had success covering the glass stems in a layer of silicone (which makes the glass more impact resistant, but not unbreakable). I have also thought about making the entire stem out of silicone.
What do you want in an unbreakable stem?
NO MORE wispy HITS
