Discontinued The Hammer Vaporizer

[Vapodudule]

Let us know how they compare mate! One flame vape is not enough for the adventurer in me!!!

You can go for it in a breath, i found hammer very competible with lotus for taste as soon as you go for the two stems method (one for the intake). For clouds lotus=hammer.

For efficiency and conserrvance the hammer is the e-nano of all butane vape for me (larger bowl than e-nano but same behavior, few is better for hammer).

the hammer is a monster vape for me, showing the way of power-on-demand source of clean hot air.

Do you need to add a second stem for the intake to get the best taste? I don't like the sound of it…

I'd love some more comparison points between the two…

 

[KidFated.]

I dont have a lotus. But, you get two stems with it, so i found it not a bad deal. Especially if im away from power and just need a few quick ones..

I never found a need to use a second stem to improve flavour. The exhaust for the Hammer is well away from and at 90° to the intake—not to mention that butane when burned does not leave any taste. This myth has been so thoroughly debunked I'm surprised anyone still falls for it.

 

[Vapodudule]

I have to be more precise for everyone and @pakalolo , i use the hammer with the stem or GonG vertical. I found it very difficult to hit while any stem perfectly horizontal, always bending them vertically.

In this position i taste the butane no matter science tells us, i am not the only one to taste or smell of butane in this behavior. imo the air intake is not as far from butane flame as one could suppose. The taste is an objective element imo.

After asking, @Head Tools indicated the two stem method.

IME This method transformed the place of the hammer in my arsenal, it was a convenient device b ut with an annoying taste of butane but since this con deseappeared, the hammer rivals the best.

 

[KidFated.]

Left my hammer outside overnight along with my brothers iolite. Iolite refuses to ignite. Hammer fired right up. After warming up of course..

 

[Vapodudule]

For the two stems method, it can be acheived with a piece of high temp silicone tube (the one from PV). At first, it brings a taste very light but then you get used to... thanks @Head Tools to pointing at taking a Lockon stem!

Another direct order from the original site came very fast. I regret to tell that i had to rerange the gas flux with both units. This fact is a really brake for marketability of the hammer.

IME The length of the rerange is a full range down. I identifiy that the operation can be dangerous if the tank is full. Do it at your own risk and with safety equipement, the risk is to break the seal of the valve and instantly open the tank at atmosphere, resulting in a burst of pressure of butane. no good at all

For all lucky and prudent vaporists with the need, the rerange operation can be described as such:
- unscrew all the tiny screws without damaging them
- open the unit by the panel withouth the screws
- with a small straight screwdriver, put the blade in the middlle of the two red disks
- the good position of the two disks for rerange is to be really few uplfted enough for the two red disks to rotate idependantly by sliding a bit. ALWAYS uplift the upper one (with the setup plot and without the cranks)
- once the two red disks are fewly separated to slide, maintain the setup plot and slide the other disk (cranked one) the position you like
- Get back the two red disks together by pressing the plotted one
- close the unit with panel and screws.

The unit is very well adjusted and brillant, good piece of engineering but it has to come ranged.

The immediate point i might had is that reranging the unit can make it accomodateing to very large range of altitude and weather. When your are on the everest you have to rerange the unit! Or more simply when you are at 2500m.

Anyway, i offered one unit to a total noob from vaping, i found that it would be the unit he will fuck combustion forever. I was hesitating from a hammer or a lotus and i found the hammer would fit a noob very well with a constant experience. Few glasses for bubbles in the packet, gong and custom stem. Set for a while.

Enjoy your first vaping experience with this package jojo!

Much love for hammer now.

I am glad that you got it tuned to your liking.... but am surprised that it was necessary. We fill each hammer with butane and tune it prior to shipment.

Since we don't know the final destination of each hammer, we try to set each one so that it can be used in a very broad range of conditions (from mountain to sea level or winter to summer).

@Vapodudule - What is your elevation above sea level?

 

[Vapodudule]

on the sea level, +50 m i guess

I found the rerange necessary for few objective reasons :
-flame going down by herself
-burst phenomenom when flame down and trying to re-ignite
-gas continue to wisper/flow after you release the button

In my needs i have the top of the range should be combustion or close to it but in the low range i have to be able to lead to low temp.

 

[KidFated.]

@Head Tools can you give us anymore info if your still planning a new product?

 

[Vapodudule]

I have to bring some information about my reranging of the units, i might have been too far and the original range should. the unit i had reranged arrived to my mate and the unit only works on the 100% setting.

Imo, my main errors were to:

• never use the 0-50% range
• neglect the height location (moutain and such) possibilities of the units provided by the original setting
• accept to keep the unit in the 0% settings at the level of the sea even if low temp are harder to achieve in so.
• accept some false behavior (burst and such) on the other settings (may be...)
• neglect unlienarity and sensibility of the flux setting reranging (very sensitive)
• prolly vas and reranging hammer oriented.

My final advise for it: try to use the unit out of the box at the 0% level of the settings, does it produce the low temp you like and act normally? Good, you do not have to rerange your unit.

This is assuming the hypothesis that the more height you are up upon the sea level, the more flux of gas is necessary.

EDIT: I opened my first unit and reranged it upper to 30% to exploit the lower range eventual moutain and cold trip. May be i will be obliged to rerange for summer!

Now, setting leads 0% is prolly 170°C by the effects, this should be covering summer behavior. the percolation of gas (too much flow and burst and non re ignintion pbs) is heared at 60% with now conditions.

The hammer is used frequently as well as lotus with J-hook, all loads finish in the e-nano for final wash.

The hammer is very gentle with flavor and loads, compared to the enano, the extraction is as better but you can manage to make it progressive. enano is a hog that spill all the goodie of your loads to a tremendous rate.

There is some new tube for containing the two lock on stem in the reg pack, very good.
The setting button of gas is larger now making the range narrower, not a big deal, but still to be noticed.

The new lock on stems are better than former one withe a better place for the screen placement. improvement

The stemless gong brings more air flow but i found holes huges comparing to all glass gong enano, just need to scrape J-hook or Y adaptor.

I find this thing so fuckin awesome it amazes me i dont see more action here..

Just got back in town... was spending some quality time with my Hammer

@Vapodudule It sounds like your Hammers just needed to be purged and refilled with fresh butane. Air in the fuel tank can cause the issues that you mentioned (new Hammers have air trapped in the tank during manufacturing).

To anyone interested in getting under the hood of your Hammer:
It is safe to remove the six screws at the top of the Hammer. You can clean out the inside of the Hammer head (perhaps before a flight) and can even tighten the heat exchanger if it has gotten a little loose. But the bottom four screws should be left alone... there are many small components in here. Although it is possible to make internal adjustments to the Hammer, we do not recommend it.

@KidFated We are working on Hammer 2.0, but it still has more development to go.
We have however considered offering the Hammer in different colors....

NO MORE wispy HITS

 

[KidFated.]

Any info on Hammer 2.0 or strictly confidential?

You'll love it. Clouds can be HUGE when used properly. My only complaints are I need to count down the heat ups (easy with a phone), and the top of the unit gets hot with use. Otherwise I'm very pleased

 

[Vapodudule]

Just to give some input of information. The two stem method permits to control the level of heat of the core by blowing reversly onto your peel to feel if it is hot or not.

Enjoy. My hammer never leaves the vape station.

I made this video to give an example of how quickly one can start and finish a bowl with the Hammer.
It probably would do more good in this thread. Sorry for the focusing.

"Finished" product

"Finished" product

What is your temp dial at? Also, how full do you pack it, because I cannot finish a whole bowl without needing to stir

 

[paytonpenn]

I believe for the video it was at 75%, you can see it up close around the 2:54 mark.
I would only set the dial at 25, 50, 75 percent.

It was also scaled at .10-11g, I normally load less, about half the bowl size. I just use the straw method every time.

Great video @paytonpenn, thanks for posting ! The gasket on the back of the stem method is interesting, never thought to try that before, very creative way to water filter without a GonG stem.

Also, how full do you pack it, because I cannot finish a whole bowl without needing to stir

The stem should be packed loosely, about 1/2 to 2/3 full is ideal. The straw method is def the best way to fill the stem so that air is still able to flow through it easily, just "suck up" your material and tap off the excess, leaving enough room to lock-on. A good way to stir is to hold the stem upright and tap the bowl very gently with the Hammer. If it's packed loose and not too full, a gentle tapping should move the materials around in the bowl pretty well.

Also, just a quick reminder that the Superbowl Sale ends today. Use code SHERMAN25 at checkout to get $25 OFF the Hammer.

Have a great weekend .

My dial stays at 100%. But its pretty cold when and where i use it.. Probably my favorite icehouse vape..

I use the screen less gong exclusively so the straw method just ends up with herb on my tongue, but I have a good scooping technique. I usually only fill the gong 1/3 though so I'll try a bigger load once I get back from class. I usually tamp the load down a tiny bit by dropping the head of the nail inside the gong so it's weight packs it a bit, because I worry about herb falling into the metal tube. I'll report back in about an hour

Edit: I filled it up halfway this time and I was very pleased with how still vaped the entire load, and the gentle tap with the hammer worked really well to stir. A few tiny crumbs fell out thro the honeycomb screen in the progress though. I also kept it packed much loser, but still did a very slight tap on the top of the herb so it wouldn't spill.
Still really digging this vape. Only real complaint is how hot the top gets after use

 

[Tweek]

I still use my Hammer when out on walks, etc. Solid little vape.
