The HI

[toros23]

HI Alan - Wow, that piece is stunning! No big surprise, all your pieces are stunning, but I really love that redwood burl! I also really like the new design without the bottom because it is so simple. Digging the new hexagon plate on the bottom with the drilled holes. That must be fun to make!

Now back to starring at the amazing burl!

 

[Alan]

Thanks Jam, Vapinghole, Jeppy, and toros23. The core plate already has the holes in it. I just need to cut the hex.

Here is another one I just finished. The HIPod.
I purchased a Banksia Pod at the wood store a while back. Glad I waited for the new design to make it. Works very well and stays cool to the touch. It might run just a bit lower in temperature due to all the holes allowing convection to constantly remove heat. The only defect in the pod was a worm hole (like it doesn't have enough holes already). It does make a mess when you turn them on the lathe.
It is a very sturdy material that is well suited for this application.

WOWEEEEE. DAMN!!! Master JedHI, that's awesome.

 

[stickstones]

no you didn't!!!! fuck me that's hot!

 

[jambandphan03]

LOVE the Pod HI!! I NEED to win the lottery or something, so many good vapes to try to keep up with these daze!! Keep up the amazing work Alan!! Once you are good and caught up with orders, I might be adding a second HI to the family.

**any way to set LEDs into the Pod, so it shines colored lights out the holes?

 

[OhTheAgony]

Wow, I haven't had time to catch up completely yet, but it seems a lot happened here as well. I don't grasp all the changes to the renewed HI just yet so I definitely got some reading to do.

Anyway, I just noticed PB88123's post on page 136 which made me think about how long I've had my HI now, and as it turns out ET and I have been together exactly a year at the end of this month

So I figured a current pic was in order and rushed out with the camera. Unfortunately daylight was too far gone already to show you guys what a Hi really looks like after a year of pretty hard use, but I still caught a nice glimpse for ya at least I think.

Still going as strong as day one

Haha, nice

Have I ever posted a pic of my HI & HotPod side by side? I'll try to shoot some better pics when daylight returns.

Hello fellow JedHIs.. A new member is asking for comparisons between a HI or competing log vape. If anyone cares to help out, the thread is here:

[Jeppy]

Yes, and don't listen to that Adobewan character while you're there!!!!

Welcome Rrose

Adobewan!
You ve been here before but welcome back to the party.

today its a pool party at the dome!

OTA he.she really likes that Hi!

Alan glad you enjoyed turning the Pod. 3 unique layers.the brown velvet layer under the husk shell is very strange when you first see it.
I think a wormhole in the wood kinda suits/is apt for the HI too.
really nice work

 

[toros23]

Yes, and don't listen to that Adobewan character while you're there!!!!

Yay, Adobewan has joined the pool party!! May the force be with you!

Seriously Adobewan, you did nothing wrong at all in that thread and had no reason to edit your post and apologize. You posted your experiences and there is nothing at all wrong with that. We have been talking offline for a while now and I think I know you well enough to vouch for your overall good intentions. You sure have educated me over the past few months!

 

[Vapinghole]

Great work, Alan!! Gorgeous!

 

[Adobewan]

Thank you U Bwade.
Toro, love your heart!
There is so much happening in the vape world, it's easy to get swept up in many new vape threads and not see all the awesomeness that's happening around here. Alan's already outstanding work has really blossomed, it's thrilling to see the creative growth. Like finding a new vape, but with the FC Jedi support of a veteran model!
Man, it is a great time to be alive, and a vapist.

I've asked Alan already but it's the weekend and people are working and relaxing so does anyone know if the Burl wood is available yet or have you scoundrels already gobbled them all up? That HIPod is awesome as well, really made me smile!

Cannonball!
Oops, forgot my suit!

 

[mvapes]

Guess who coming to the Party! Thanks to another member in the classifieds - mvapes is about to be knighted as a Jedhi! I anxiously await the arrival of my Blood Wood Hi!

 

[Rrose Selavy]

mvapes i saw that you scooped that up. im jealous cant wait to hear what you think of it.

 

[toros23]

Congrats mvapes! I can't believe it lasted as long as it did in the classifieds! I am sure a lot of us had to exercise some serious restraint!

 

[mvapes]

rrose - I give you my word, YOU will be my first PM with a review!

 

[Rrose Selavy]

haha thanks mvape im pumped to hear how you like it.

toros idk about everyone else but for me it was lack of funds not restraint, lol what does that even mean? i have no self control when it comes to VAS and GAS.

hello everyone my name is Rrose and i have a problem

please tell me i am not alone?!!

 

[mvapes]

rrose - this may help!

 

[VaporEyes]

hello everyone my name is Rrose and i have a problem

please tell me i am not alone?!!

Hello, my name is VaporEyes, and I welcome you to the circle.

 

[Rrose Selavy]

mvapes i could not have said it better myself

VaporEyes im glad to have some company.... its like looking in a mirror

 

[Jeppy]

HOLD IT.............What's happening here? I know it's classic rock Monday, but just thinking about mvapes new acquisition and most importantly the fact that the Master JedHI, 'Alan Wan Kenobi' is back in the dome again, creating a new population of JedHI warriors is call for celebration.

Here is a picture of my trusty HI saber under guard by the ominous HI keeper.

When I think of my HI saber,,,it makes me realize MC Hammer was right!!

 

[Ed's TnT]

Wow its been a while since I posted here, I have been stopping by from time to time to view the happenings when possible and have been liking all the great innovations you have done Alan. You are the MAN! I thought I saw something a while back about where you updated your site to include the HI, so I strolled on over and had a look at what a great HI you have their on the main page, what a freaking beauty bro! Thanks for posting it there for all to see! I still look at it and it captivates me every time! I am glad to know you are all setup and back in the mix again, glad to see all the folks getting their HI's and are super happy with your work. You have a great thing going from your product to your service! Keep it up, I wish you all the best!
