What is the mouthpiece on your Ash vapman @Gourmet ? It looks like Wenge… I love the aesthetics of Wenge.
Although it is really stunning, Cocobolo is not a wood I would be comfortable to vape from… It is well known for being heavily allergenic and contains a toxic latex.
I wouldn't be comfortable either with Yew (contains a toxic alkaloid, still active after drying, and volatile oils).
I know some people on this thread have had asthma/allergenic issues with purpleheart Vapemen (which is known to be an allergenic wood).
I must admit that there is not a lot of wood I would be comfortable to vape from…
My Kotibe vapman is still pristine since I'm not sure I do want to vape from this wood, although I didn't find anything about it being toxic (except from breathing the dust from working the wood… almost all woods dust are toxic).
I am really confident with my pear vapman. 10 years old relationship has proven it to be an almost tasteless wood and mankind use this wood from centuries to make dishes and cutlery.
I also use without any doubt my walnut vapman (even if it contains juglone, that can have therapeutic and adverse effects as well, there is much more in the nuts and I eat a bunch of them all year long). This one definitely bring more taste to the vapor, a distinctive aroma that surrounds the weed taste.
After thousands of years of use, olive wood have proven itself to be totally harmless to mankind, but I don't have one since I am not sure to like its aesthetics.
