First day with my vapman ,well impressed just wondering why I never brought one before
Because you don't have the right kind of friends? The big question is, of course, who are you going to put wise?
Enjoy the VM, be sure to try a solid torch type lighter.

Nonetheless, I humbly offer myself as a volunteer test subject for any future Vapman project.
The paper idea I also like. From my limited experience with paper, I think "Parchment paper" (sometimes called 'baker's paper') is the call. It's an offshoot of fish paper as I understand it, where the raw cellulose is treated with Sulfuric Acid to weaken the bonds so new bonds can be formed when the pulp is compressed. You end up with a durable sheet, strongly resembling the parchment (thin animal skin) traditionally used for documents and drum heads. It's tough and can stand up to hot oven temperatures. I'm thinking a strip that was rolled into a tube say two layers thick and pushed down the MP hole against the SS screen? Notches in the bottom edge would allow the vapor that came through the sides of the screen to 'make it to the MP'.
Fun ideas,

This means, the paper insert has to have the shape of the cavity with a rim at the bottom on which the middle section would stand, looking a bit like a trumpet shape.
... But i would pay up to 220 usd for a bigger vapman with double bowl size.
And i would pay up to 150 usd for a portable heating stick where i can put my vapman on.
I personally don't mind the collection of natural oils....
What if the cavity was lined with very thin stainless steel and then the paper tube inserted from the mouth piece end?
You could scrape the reclaim off the SS.
Then paper would be coated in a cleaner reclaim because the cavity at the bottom would probably catch most of the plant particles that come through the filter?
@vapman I'm also keen to see a middle section that has a 14mm male joint at the end. Made from wood of course!
It would be nice if it was a bit longer than the standard middle section so that you could easily grab it to remove it from the female joint.
@vapman, I wonder if such a trumpet could be made of very thin Stainless Steel? That would be cool, but don't know if would get too hot.
Same here! The way I see it, it gives my Little Fella some extra character as he ages.
The glass stem may be the perfect compromize. It would look very cool too.The ONLY thing I would change/add to the Vapman would be a glass mouthpiece - a big reason I bought the Vapman was so I could use it with an MFLB glass stem but for various reasons I have stuck to the plastic one. Whilst the Vapman+MFLB glass stem tastes great it cools the vapor down too much IMO (some like it hot ). Can't fit it in the egg either because it's so long.
Would love a shortie glass stem on the Vapman that fits inside the egg, preferably with a little nub on the end like the existing piece. Glass taste + ability to collect dat sweet honey = .
By the way, a friend of mine called me to tell me that he was very amazed at the vapman lighter's durability.
When I asked why he said so, he said that he has washed it twice because he forgot to take it out of his jeans pocket and it continued to work without a hitch!
Holy crap! and he didn't do anything to it at all. Just tried it again and it worked as usual.
I don't recommend it, but it's good to know that it can survive this type of abuse.
I will gladly volunteer to be your tester!!!@Petro and @M0J0 I'm a silversmith and am working on casting fine silver mouthpieces which have advantages of increased vapor cooling and are also antimicrobial.
A few snags in the process, but I hope to show something to the community in the coming few weeks. I'm going to have to make new molds, but will be casting prototypes early next week if all goes to plan.
He caught it before it went to the dryer. Luckily!And he didn't loose the house when the dryer exploded? Lucky guy.......
Yeah, I too recommend hand washing if you must.

Probably better off buying a water pipe whip from Magic Flight and using the mini stems that they include in them - pretty sure they are glass. Would be a good addition to a Vapman arsenal anyway if you don't like to shoehorn the Vapman into your piece.
My 2 orbiter whips have the ministems made in acrylic, not glass
