Discontinued The Hammer Vaporizer

[VAPEHUNTER]

I got everything back together but I seem to have lost this piece. How important is it? It still wont ignite but I know its getting enough gas, I can light it with a lighter.

I'm not 100%, sure but I think that is a very important part. I believe that small "clip" catches the spark given off by the igniter. Without it, the spark may not be large enough to light the fuel.
With the heating chamber off try looking into the "fuel head" to see where the spark goes. Just be careful not to get to close you wouldn't want to lose an eye brow.

I dont even see a spark.

 

[RUDE BOY]

I think it needs that little part to create an arc to make that spark so without it there's no spark.

Ghetto fabbed me up one out of a piece of the old ignitor. I can definitely see a spark now when i turn the lights off with it in there. Maybe i can get it good enough to work for now.

Not a fan of butane powered vapes. Seems like an oxymoron to me. A lot of people use vapes for health reasons, and butane is not the best alternative to smoke

 

[jeffsimp710]

Butane powered vapes can be very safe. The air path and the butane path do not have to be together. I have a couple that are super safe, 1) the Lotus 2) the Vapman. Both are butane powered but the airpath is 100% separate = no safety issue

Wasn't familiar with those. But what about this one. This doesn't seem to be the case.

 

[jeffsimp710]

Below is what the Manufacturer says. It is all in this thread if you want to know.

There is much info on the Hammer's air path in this thread, just do a search or two to learn a little on the topic before you post.

I have definitely seen butane powered vapes that has you inhale butane. Just by looking at the video it seems that you would be inhaling butane with each draw.

 

[jeffsimp710]

Many of us use butane vapes a great deal. There is a reason butane is used in lighters. You should read an MSDS on butane. It is a very safe gas. When using a butane torch it burns a such a high temperature that the butane is 100% gone. Now, as far as the Hammer goes the air path and exhaust are completely separate. Therefore there is no issue for butane being a problem to the user. I hope I helped you understand this about butane powered vapes. You may smell the odor of butane when using the Hammer but the exhaust is right there too. This does not mean you have butane in the air path.

Many people have your exact concerns about butane so if it bothers you do not use butane powered vapes. The important thing is that you are safe with the choices you make.

That may be true, but I can definitely taste butane if I was to use a lighter for a pipe, rather than hemp wick. It really depends what butane you purchase, but I do know of brands on the market that aren't the purest. If butane was as safe as you say it is, we would have butane powered grills. Even if health reasons isn't the point to make for not using butane, taste certainly is one.

As far as vaporizers like the hammer go you cant taste the butane ime because it is isolated from the air path. Its not like smoking using a lighter at all. I dont really think the safety of butane or the taste of it applies here.

 

[paytonpenn]

It is double true that you shouldn't inhale butane with the Hammer Pro or the Prototype gaskets.

It will be in the air. But the airpath is entirely sealed.

Who has. Hammer pro and what can you tell us about it

Vaponic too is part of the family of supersafe butane powered vape

Just curious, did anyone get a shipping notification or anything today?

 

[Philreal187]

I didnt receive anything for shipping just riding out the old xmas spirit of faith and belief that ill see the hammer pro when they said before Christmas.

I sold my old hammer to a friend who was interested in vaping but was afraid to drop too much doe. Soo i cant wait to have this vape back in the line up, I really enjoy the hammer as a person conservation tool. Patience is what the old folk taught... if I could only overstand haha

 

[RUDE BOY]

I'm awaiting mine a bit more anxiously now too. My first is my first real vape casualty that was my fault. After taking some abuse this morning, it got crushed in a swiveling patio chair and the red ring with the nub(?) to adjust the flame split and most of the nub broke off. Afterward it worked for a stem but now after refilling it's shooting soft flame outta the top. ... so bad so sad, and I had my stem and myself all ready for my midnight session.

 

[Sinclue]

I'm sure he's doing his best to keep to his commitment but if he is using USPS then I wouldn't be optimistic.

A 2 day Priority package was mailed to me from a town 22 miles away last Monday. Still has not arrived. Tracking shows sitting in the same place for three days now. Kind of doubt I'll ever see it.

Xmas miracle anyone?

[Krazzykid]

I have absolute faith I will receive my unit. On time, well, that's up to my postman.

I was just making sure I didn't get left out on the notification. Hearing that I'm not the only one calms my nerves.

I am cool with no notification, as long as I'm not the only person that didn't receive it. Sounds like there just hasn't been any, which is cool.

Hi guys, my Hammer is out of working since, after a refill (Newport), it started to work nice 10s and the butane start to get problems to go out I think....I tried to purge it but now there is no more gaz going out when I press the button...?(except a sort of little gurgle)

I purged it every 3 or 4 refills (I think....), is it enough?

Can I purge it through the filling valve...? but I think it doesn't help my hammer to work again, isn't it? (since the issue seems to come from the other valve where you can choose your heating level...)

Before to stop to go out the butane was still going out (a bit...) when the button was depressed....?

Please help!

Edit: there is still lot of gaz in the hammer!

Sorry to hear about youre dilemna.It can be an anxious time no doubt.the forum will help all we can and if not head tools would be pleased to help.hammer service have been really helpful ironing issues out for me with movement in my hammer heater tube.thanks @Head Tools

I would advise firstly emptying the newport gas out and try a different premium brand of butane.I had been using newport triple filtered ( white can) on recommendation from a fellow forum member.I bought 4 cans of the stuff that was end of line stock that im stuck with.Hey its cool,i ll find good use for it..Newport ruined most of my torches but,albeit only temporary.symptons using newport in my torches ,hammer and iolite after initially a good start were spluttering, dodgy changing flame and regular lighter cutout especially when held at right angles etc.bad ignition issues with both Hammer & Iolite.

My solution was to find a different premium brand of butane and empty all my lighters of newport and refill with better fuel .In my case it was double filtered Ventti.Love the stuff so far.Now i have a steady hot flame at any angle in all my torches and instant steady heat with my hammer and iolite again.

No gas hiss may mean a blockage in your hammer gas line,but I bet it is more than likely newport butane affecting things.Good butane has revitalised my hammer & my entire lighter selection,which is around a dozen torches now damn is that LAS.

took me a long time to find good butane.it eventually showed up after I had tried several different average brands.

Good luck with getting your hammer back on track.

 

[RUDE BOY]

I've used over a case of newport with my vapes and torches and never had that problem at all, Now i have a case of Iolite butane that's made by newport and everything still seems to work perfectly.

@PPN You should ONLY purge through the filling valve, with the valve facing up like when you fill it.
Turn the flame adjustment all the way to the - side and fill and purge a few times.
Maybe that will help, good luck.

 

[u bwade wunner]

thats great news @RUDE BOY .You can have mine if You want

just kiddin' my friend.

I'm off till the fifth Jan...its hammer time= flavour city

Question: do any of you Hammer owners also own an Underdog, and if so, does the 14 mm GonG attachment that comes with the UD fit your Hammer?

Reason being is I am getting an UD today...friend is thinking about getting a Hammer....don't know if we need another WPA.

I tried it once but the glass just barely wont fit on with the silicone sleeve on the hammer. You might be able to force it on but I wasnt really willing to try that as I already have a lot of broken glass and I dont need anymore.

 

[KidFated.]

Underdogette made a post saying they do not match. I never had and problems with silicone on the end of a stock stem. cheaper too than a gong too.
