Discontinued The Hammer Vaporizer

I think your stems may have been faulty. Here is a video of my Hammer lock on stems, no black magic:science:, just shitty video filmed in vertical orientation:doh:.


Thanks for the help Payton, some options to think about for sure as I certainly don't want to retire the hammer!!

Vapehunter! Thank you very much I now have no doubt that these stems were faulty! If I got them on as tight as a could and with the hammer held vertical and the stem horizontal it's about 2-10 seconds before the thing just fell off with no touching. And when opening your mouth you'd have to hold the stem as even that sight movement would dislodge it. I doubt I'll have much luck with hammer warranty wise, but I'll certainly be looking into some new/better stems!

Also, is UD 100% against overseas sales? I understand with the units as they are 110v :(

Ed can make a wooden stem.
I wouldn't count on that. I have been trying to get one of his hammer stems for over 6 months, no dice.

He made a very limited number of them once and has not made them since. I feel I will never be able to get one.

@Ed's TnT, if you ever make more of them, I want one.

I'm guessing that you're only watching his website? He does one-off custom jobs often; just shoot him a PM to inquire. He just shared a photo of this custom Bog Oak hammer stem in his thread the other day:

I have emailed him directly asking about getting a hammer stem a couple times, the most recent being just about a month ago. I was always just told they weren't being made at this time and to check the site in a couple of months.

I'm well aware of his thread and the ability to ask for custom items, but it was kind of pointless to ask there when I was already told that hammer stems weren't being made.

It's nice to hear that they are coming back though.

Ed has been very busy with his site and his kids and his recent health issues..I have also been inquiring about one..he had a blood wood one laying around and I bought that a few months back. It's is wonderful but it fits a little less tight that my hammer stems (which I bought 4 of them on the 4/20 sale and they all lock on like a charm..no issues whatsoever. But with ed he is only one dude and your pieces will get made you just gotta stay with him..but his stem is way better than the lock on stems..imo..just better overall..

I have the same problems with the lock on stems
They can lock on when all is clean but as soon as i do a dab they just fall off
Still getting used to it, think I might be doing too big a dab and it runs through and oils it all up

Okay well, gone from being upset with a vape company to ecstatic! Messaged underdog vapes on here and not only has he instructed me of a way to get some stems sent over for my hammer! Also apparently the logs can work on Aussie power too! To great stuff. Going to order a few UD stems for the hammer, will let y'all know if that fixes the problem. Might also order some thinker silicone tubing to help hold in place! After watching vape hunters video I want that sort of sturdy hammer and stem in my life!

You'll need specifically magic flight tubing.

Is anybody able to give a comparison of the vapour quality of the Hammer versus the Arizer Air? I know very little about this vape and have only just started researching after seeing the price drop at my favourite online vape store. I was saving for a desktop but it gets really cold here in winter and vaping outside is a struggle (particularly in the hills), the Hammer Pro seems like the perfect solution and almost too good to be true if the vapour is as punchy as I've read!

i use both as daily drivers. The air is great for session and if your on the move, the hammer is just that fast and punch! Just more for sitting imo:)

So I got mflb tubing for my hammer and UD stems (direct draw and 14mm short) and it doesn't fit as well as I thought it would. I mean it works, but Im not confident to bring it outside and have the heavier UD stem hang over concrete.

The silicone will usually break when im using the hammer as a nail.

Though I could probably use a longer piece of silicone. but it adds the silicone to the airpath. Guess that doesn't really matter.

I'm so confused because all of my hammer stems stay so secure..I think hammer needs to fix this problem..are you guys letting them know? I have heard they are rather hard to get ahold of..

You'll want the MFLB tubing to slightly lip over this makes inserting the stem easier and less likely for the "gasket" to end up in the stem. There is already silicone in the path from the gasket itself, if you do dabs you'll notice the silicone will start getting hot enough to form it's own light vapor after enough heating, if not in the back end then the gasket you use already will do the same.

Don't overload your dab, literally the smallest you can do the best for you. If all that oil is leaking then you're inhaling too fast or loading too much or aren't a high enough temp. I would suggest putting some cotton in the path to see how bad you're leaking.

I wouldn't use a long direct draw or 14mm without two hands, you can twist it on well enough that it doesn't come off immediately but overtime the heavier UD stems will be loosened. If you're in an area where you're afraid to drop it then nylon stems are what you want or thin silicone.

It was ripping because of how hot it was getting and the pressure from twisting it on, but if it lips over im pretty sure it fixes the problem.

I wasn't loading large dabs and I'm pretty sure it wasn't dripping. I maybe used medium size dabs? I had to get the most butane for my money. I heat it up for about a minute, but only take a dab or two.

Have you seen my video? I would heat it around the lengths in that, not very long. Like 20 seconds no more than 45.

Completely different time zones and the fact it's coming up to a weekend means it might be a long process, burn I have heard back from David, and he seems very willing to be me back up and hamming impressed with service I have received so far, will update when complete resolved

All sorted, I pay shipping and receive two new stems and I have even order a gong! David is a true gentleman and very helpful. Now I can not only recommend the hammer based on the unreal performance but also the after sales support!
Big ups to David, big ups to hammer! Now stop! HAMMER TIME!
 
Got a hammer in the mail today and so far very impressed with it! does anyone here know a australian vendor who stocks hammer gongs? also i read on here that the solo stems fit onto the unit do they work with herb or only as a mouthpiece for dabs? thanks

Solo stem fits as a draw tube for loading your herb into the heat exchanger, but there is no room in the stem to load weed in there and use it like you would the normal way.
My hammer stems and new gong are in the mail!
Not an Aussie vendor so shipping was a sting, but well worth it! With any luck you'll know why when you get yours!
Bit of practise and it should easily manage much bigger clouds and has a smaller bowl than the solo.

ahh okay thanks mate, do you drop your herb right into the exchanger or on top of a screen? amazed at how much this thing can extract it will likely replace my mighty as my home vape
edit: also has anyone else noticed smoke coming from the exhaust port occasionally?
