IMO, there is little to none draw resistance. Draw speed is entirely up to you. Experiment with different speeds at different temps. Vapman leaves it all up to the user to find their personal sweet spot.

cui bono?
I am proud to say that I am officially the latest member of Club Vapman! Today I received my Walnut Classic and it is a real work of art! I cannot believe how tiny it is! Was this thing built by gnomes??
The moment I saw it, I knew that its rightful place was atop my Orbiter! I have a lot of glass and I don't use the Orbiter that much, but something about the size and aesthetic of the vapman just makes me think they were meant to be together! I unfortunately have a maple Orbiter stand and now I guess I am going to need to try to stain it to match the vapman...
Like many FC'ers, I use a Lotus scoop as a standard unit of measure - in my experience it averages out to about 0.055. I have never come across a vape for which this was too large a load - until the vapman arrived!
Bowl #1 - I tried a nice full Lotus scoop - performance was unimpressive but the session sort of worked (if you know what I mean?)
Bowl #2 - Cut the load to maybe 2/3 a lotus scoop - now we are getting somewhere!
Bowl #3 - 1/2 a Lotus scoop - HOLY SHIT I pretty much just killed this bowl in one hit (by accident) but I have now learned what this thing can do in terms of cloud production
I think I need to take a break but this thing is fun! I am going to have a lot of fun experimenting with it.
I had always considered the Lotus scoop to be a good baseline for microdosing. But now it seems like we are going to need a smaller scoop.............

So nine such scoops weigh half a gram? 18 would make one gram.
You might have some luck with the bitty measuring spoons used for traditional cooking:

Also handy if you can't recall how many smidgens in a dash.......at least not right off hand.
I also use the Lee Reloading dipper set, which has truly tiny dippers (down to .3cc). You can jam a bit of Aluminum foil in the bottom to reduce the capacity as well. If the herb is well cured and uniformly ground this can be a very accurate measure since it's deep and has a 'sharp' rim. For added precision you can scrape the scoop off flat like you were measuring flour to make a cake, but I generally don't.
When I was using my MFLB a lot I would grind up and eighth or so and using a funnel and scoop would load 1/8 gram into small glass vials for 'prepackaged loads'. I'd do 3 or so a minute (five or so minutes to do a couple dozen) which ran from .120 to .130 (usually very close to .125)

I use one of those plastic film cases, you know how before cameras were analog and used film, and they are the perfect size. The MFLB finishing grinder sits on top of one like its meant to be. And it can hold quite a lot of grounded material. (http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/x/film-case-28493756.jpg)
It is easy to load the MFLB straight from that little canister, but the bowl on the VM is so small it's easy to over fill. A scoop would be awsome!

I used this containers in my first vapo-year too. But after a while I became so sensitive, that I smell every bad plastic taste out of the herbs. So today I can only accept glass or at least medical plastic cases.
As I love my little gourmet box, I use now glassware from the laboratory equipment.
It is by sheer coincidence that the diameter is nearly the same like the pan of the VM. ;-)

For those into 'film cans' be advised there are metal ones that predate plastic. Draw formed from Aluminum. And before that they were steel and painted top and bottom to match the film type they contained so you could fish out the type you needed in a crowded bag in a hurry. Those cans are around the local antique place had a couple last time I was by. Funny, IIRC they wanted more for the newer one (it was dented and looked older.....).

Actually it's WAY more than that. Since you can swap center sections around different bases it's really 7!. "7 Factorial" as the number crunchers say. 7X6X5X4XX2X1 =5040. You can start with any base, you have seven choices for a mid section. That is multiplied by the next where you have only six. Times five, then four and so on. This is the reason there's such a huge number of ways a well shuffled deck of cards can be delt. 52X51X50X......
So at one a day, that's (5040/365) 13 years and several odd months before you run out of options. Add in MP swaps and your great great grandchildren can finish for you?
"Never argue with a guy that can count to 1047 on his fingers" (which you can in binary.....don't mess with 'softheads').
OF
Edit: No, wait.....maybe I have my combinations mixed up with my permutations? Or is it the other way around? There are only 49 possible combinations (seven bases times seven mid sections). To get to scary numbers we need to swap stems....seven cubed is like 343 different VMs you can build. Enough different ones for nearly a year.....buy then you'll have forgotten and can start over again. And there's only 5039 or so different orders you can do them in?
Best lay in some serious stash........

Away with the fairies
Very fortunate I was able to snatch this one up while it was still available
The Vapman is Ash Tree Wood and to mouthpiece is Jacaranda. I did purchase it directly from @vapman after seeing it was available on the Vapman Facebook page
Just beautiful! LOVING your new ash addition!
I don't have a Facebook account anymore..... now I kind of wish I did!
Any chance of you giving us the heads up on any exotics you make here too @vapman ?
You are so right! IMO, when you compare the price of the Vapman to other top quality vapes, it really does offer so much more bang for your buck. The materials used in its construction are top notch, and the master craftmanship is exquisitely captivating. Even after having a Vapman for years now, I still turn it in my hands and admire it.
@hoyo77 ....... agreed, it's a great travel companion!....and a new Vapman sounds like a plan! I'm still waiting to hear about the next batch of ebony (I'm on the list for one ), and I'm also trying to decide on the perfect tattoo design to order from M0J0.... decisions, decisions huh!?

Wow! What a line up!A little vapporn for you guys!
Ash tree vapman with Jacaranda mouthpiece
The whole family together!
How do you choose which one to use? I find it hard to choose between three vapmans!
I feel guilty if I don't pick one for a bit.
But with vapmans, too much is never enough.

Just close your eyes, reach out and grab! Have faith it'll be a great choice, one you'll never regret........
Hugh Hefner uses this technique in other areas with great success I'm told. Or at least did?

Vapman Vapman Vapman..
You were my first, and I admit, I did try another.. but nothing beats your efficiency and effectiveness! You didn't even have to try, the other didn't stand a chance.
It seems to me that many people build up to Vapman, but as my first vape, It's a very tough act to follow! I adore the size, the heat-then-hit action, the flavour!
What is a girl to do?

Unfortunately it seems to give no other solution than to buy from time to time a new torch. Every experienced VM-user has a few torches at home.
Mine survive on average for a year and then I have to change. And some torches (same brand) live shorter than the others, sadly.
@vapman told me once, he tested a lot of torches, the cheap as well as the expensiv ones, but every torch failed after a while. The technic inside seems to be more or less the same, no matter how expensive the torches are. If he would knew a premium product, whatever the cost, he would sell it in his online-store, he said.
I suspect, it could be also a question about the gaz-quality. Some cheaper gaz-cans use a lot of oil to protect the iron inside from rust during production, what could be the reason of all tihs little defects in the torch and on the nozzle.
But anyway, the mechanism in the torch is the next week point and either the piezo or the "gaz-flow-adjustment" (how you call this part in english ;-)) will fail after a few month of frequent use.
And sometimes, if the adjustment and the piezo works like a charme, it is the nozzle that makes trouble.
I think, it is the oil in the gaz: The residues clog the nozzle. But like I said, that's only an assumption.
The fact is, even the very expensiv gaz-cans have oil in it.. so I stopped to buy the expensiv cans.
But one solution for a longer torch-life I found nevertheless:
I bought a Station and use now the torch only outdoor and so they last longer.
I have a dream, that once René may invent a litte electric torch, that uses only litte energie and fits perfectly under the VM-pan.
It will be first a blue zylindric object (later it gives more colours), about 12cm long and 2cm in diameter, with a nice button to press and wodden disc on the top and the bottom.
The battery is rechargeable and replaceable, and the thing has a transport security cap or function. One charge hold for a few cosy evenings.
And the further developement will bring even a microprozessor controlled unit!
If we all buy every month a new Vapman, he will be able to invent this for us.

And how many ribs has the vapman egg? This is not a coincidence!
There are more ash tree units in progress! The ash tree is a common tree here Switzerland, because its toughness, the wood is widely used for tool shafts and less for furniture. When using the darker and lighter center part, it shows to be a beautiful wood for vapman. In combination with a jacaranda mouthpiece, it looks very classy.

Supposing i was interested in an ash tree/jacaranda VM, what is the best method to go about pursuing/obtaining one?And how many ribs has the vapman egg? This is not a coincidence!
lol, i see what you did there!^^^^^
There are more ash tree units in progress!
vapman
thanks
The best method is getting on the waiting list by sending us an email to: mail@element-medical.ch
More ash tree units will be ready by the end of next week!
After this, I will make more ebony models, just received some pieces of this precious wood, it is very expensive, indeed!
Thank you,
vapman
