Can one easily drop the temp of this pan below say 370f through one draw?
Good question. (if I get it right with my rudimentary english skills) :D
370F are about 187°C and that's a good temperature for the aroma- and terpene-fan-boys, which like also to have a bit THC in the vape.
I like to start with a lower temp and going higher during the session. Or I only want the flavor and threw away the rest, if I don't want the "negative" sofa- or absolutely highness-effect. :D

Soon after the production was set up, I started with special woods, one of my favorites is this one made of an Australian wood
That's also a wonderfull VM, I love this phenomenal wood grain. :tup:

Wow @vapman! Thank you for the history lesson. It's really cool to see the prototypes and learn some more about the evolution of the vapman.

Everytime I'm in the outback/bush I'm always on the look out for a special piece of wood to send to you. Problem is I don't know what I'm looking for lol.

How do you think a burl would go?

okay this ones got me intrigued for sure. ill be considering one...
here's the thing though, my biggest problem with vapes of this style, only the lily has seemed to provide an adequate way to deal with it and i am sure the daisy is good at it too.

i want this to be a daily vape and for that it needs to be able to do 10-15 sessions in a row uninterrupted!!!

the lotus simply could not handle this in fact the makers told me i could return it for a refund since they didnt know anybody who would do that many sessions in a row with it!

if anyone can assure me the vapman can hold up to this level of usage i will buy one today.

I can't see why the VM couldn't handle this. It may be hot while reloading but I can't think of any way it would actually fail. Seems to me the torch would be your more likely point of failure. (Of course, I've never tried to do that many sessions in a row, so I could be missing something.)

After 7 the whole lotus unit would be so hot it would not operate properly anymore. it wasn't even worth trying anymore it just wouldn't work.

the lily has been able to hold up to this. its design is better for that sort of thing IMO.

i'd definitelly go with the classic in your case. so many sessions in a row could be a little too much to take for an unprotected basic. but it's only my personal opinion. i'm with @Mr Mellish here, the torch is a more likely point of failure. but you can still juggle several in a long session. but first you probably need to define, what do you consider a session. one bowl takes several reheating cycles, depending on the user.
risking to be called a heretic, but for use at home, i'd probably get a log vape in your case.

I don't plan to use it 10+ sessions a day every day. I just want it to be able to do that if I feel like it.
I definitely want it to be portable as well! the fact you can use it with water looks nice too.
I had a log vape but i ended up preferring my ssv with a tiny wand... idk maybe i should look back into them.

i simply consider a session to be once the load is spent.

Wow :o I thought my tolerance was up there, 4g a day is nothing for me but I don't think I've done that many back to back sessions with any of my vapes, I've done like 3-4 with my Vapman back to back (just because its so nice to play with but not because i needed to) I get through 30-50 bowls/stems per day using various vapes but I normally leave some time between sessions.

I've got nothing planned for today so guess I could do some testing (all in the name of science of course) if I'm still awake after I will report back.

bless your soul if you are able to make it that far and do it for no other reason than i posted about it....
really am intrigued by the vapman and am hoping this could be the one that gets me to use a torch on the daily basis?

Also what the heck is the vapman station? it looks real cool but i can't find it for sale anywhere!!! i swear if i could use this with something like the vapman station i would get that in a SECOND

i don't even want to imagine the ammount of cash you could've burned through back in your combustion days, when you're able to vape 4g a day. :D considering how efficent vaping is in comparison to smoking. a low tolerance is really a blessing. :)

I assume i am one of the heavier users on the forum and 15 back to backs with any vape is probably beyond what i have ever done.

I may recommend a vape with a bigger bowl. Zephyr ion? VHW? LSV?

The VM is a good vape but if i was vaping 5, 6 grams a day or whatever i may look for something to suit those needs with less packing in between. That said, i do not think back to back bowls in the double digits would be a problem here.

Thank you, I don't intend to go through that much reliably every day, your guys confidence it's good with many sessions is good enough for me. IMO the fact a thing like the vapman station exists means it should be able to deal just fine.

now can anyone tell me when does the damn vapman station come out so i can have one!!!

@vapman is the vapman station definitely happening soon?
if so i will buy my vapman now and the station when it comes out.
the station looks too damn cool. like what a log vape in my dreams looks like...

We are in the testing phase and therefore I can only say, that the vapman station should be happening soon! So far, things are looking good and if nothing unexpected happens, the station should be in our shop by the end of this month or beginning of December.

Great that you like the look of the station, I think you will also like the way it works.

guess who has two thumbs and is about to type in www.puffitup.com :tup:
edit: do you plan to have Vapman Station be sold thru retailers like them or when the time comes do we buy direct?

@Nugg So far, I used only a few vapmen for my personal use and this I did deliberately to test the units in terms of durability. The very first one which really worked well already was this one here, it is the second prototype I made back in 2005. The pins for the locking system are made of bamboo!

xmlk7l.jpg


The next prototype was this one here, it has already the final shape but the pins are still made of bamboo. This one I used until I had the production going with the first series which took about six months time. Originally, the two steel springs were made manually but I replaced these later with the final springs made by the supplier. Therefore it is not to 100% the original prototype but almost. Everytime I added something new I had to test it and this keeps going on until today. Anyway, this one is the first vapman as we know it today! BTW, the wood is european walnut.

Soon after the production was set up, I started with special woods, one of my favorites is this one made of an Australian wood which name I don't know or never knew, I think. I forgot if I forgot the name...:lol:
Check out the mouthpiece, also an Australian super hard wood. Did I ever mention that I love woods?:D

Here is another one I won't sell, someone gave me a piece of very, very dark African wood, it is really black and heavy as anything, it is even heavier than the normal ebony I get from my wood supplier.
Again, vapmen made of "special" woods don't work better than others, it is all for the love of woods
and the beauty of nature, really. My personal vaporizer is a yew tree model since almost two years, I like
the medium heavy woods best, they are ideal for vapman in terms of heat insulation and strength.

Hopefully the story of vapman will go on...:)

Thanks for sharing the stories and photos. I loved seeing the original prototypes and learning what you personally use. where else on FC can you converse with the creator.

I gave up at 10, and if I'm honest 8, 9 & 10 were not really back to back as my head wandered a little
(I have the attention span of a 5yr old at times)



I could keep going but I really don't need to as by around bowl 5 I don't think I could feel anymore effect, although it's kinda hard to tell right now :ko:

I can sort of see why you might do it as right now my whole body is high, I mean everything down to my little toes kinda hard to explain, fun but not something I could do all day everyday as I would get nothing done.

Honestly if I wanted to do this much this fast/faster I would grab Daisy or my LSV, but trusty little Vapman can do it :clap:

i don't even want to imagine the ammount of cash you could've burned through back in your combustion days

Not much, but I can't talk about that without breaking rules :ninja:, my last tbreak was 14 year ago (and that was just a day) but I like it, I can, so I do :tup: thems me rules in life.

Anyway I've just realised how loooong it has taken me to write this :doh: there are some cookies in my kitchen getting lonely so I'm gonna go and make friends.

You, sir, are the man!!!
a worthy experience for science and i am sure you are enjoying the fruits of your labor currently, it sounds like you are :D
I'm sure vapman is happy to see this too - my new vapman will be shipped shortly by @PuffItUp!!!!

Hot dog getting mine before the weekend I'll torture test it. What sort of time frame are these 15 bowls?

Also I'm rocking micra... Any known reasons why I shouldnt torture test a micra unit like that?
I think @UnshavenFish did some excellent work but the more the merrier?
Your time frame, I don't know/remember how long doing that actually takes, the only requirement is that they be back to back and you don't spend more than 5 minutes between them, because if I was doing that it would probably be about a minute or two between em..

Now just to find out the best way to use it with my 18mm pieces and should be all set?

Missed this earlier!!
Might save my butane since she's already proved haha.

Although everything down to your littles toes!? If .05 a bowl 5 bowls 1/4 gram or one joint.... Sounds efficent.
