I've been thinking of the "Trinity" of vapes thread, and how me--for the moment--there would need to be (at minimum) of a "Quadrinity" of vape types to round a collection:
1) A desktop. In my case one ideally suited for flavor-chasing and microdosing, with the potential to go big. Have something on order.
2) An electric portable. Covered
3) An easy out and about portable that works with butane. Covered
4) An "exotic" that helps provide a "zen" experience. Ritualistic.
The Vapman (for me) I expect to fill slot 4. It better! LOL
I'm in "tracking mode." ETA this Wednesday. Two days. Anticipation.

I've never really heard anyone do it. I think it would only be possible if you cooked your herbs super-aggressively beyond the point of vapor production, but I'm not sure that's even possible.Station and Olive Vapman arrived last week but I did not really have an opportunity to test it yet. I already love the look of both though.
Is there any risk of combustion in higher settings? Don't want to ruin anything...
I would think in normal use it would be pretty much impossible to combust.

I combusted once with my former Italian station on setting 6. But I tried to push the load as far as possible.

I'd love to see a vid of it turning in the light. : )had to bring this into the right position and to welcome it with a little jet from underneath. beautiful!

Smells like popcorn
Loving this combo if only the lighter was wood, too... What is the lighter model and the wooden container in the middle if I may ask?had to bring this into the right position and to welcome it with a little jet from underneath. beautiful!

I am the beetle in a box that only you can see
I think I may have accidentally combusted (or came very close) with a tiny amount of traditional hash today. 0.03g in the wok (no sieve), heated aggressively with butane. It certainly produced smoke (not vapor) but by the time I inspected the solids in the wok, it had gone out. Still vapable it turned out, and no funky residual smell. Not recommended though

the lighter is a xikar allume single torch. and the wood container was made by an old man who does wood stuff from driftwood and sells it at a local museum thats build from old houses around the 15th century. he does that stuff all by hand with tools from the same times as the people did in the history.

So far I am honestly a bit disappointed with the station. I barely get any vapor before dial 6 yet if I go past 7 smaller parts of flower close to the middle of the pan get scorched. I have to give it more tries maybe I am doing something wrong but "your herbs are heated to perfection without the risk of burning" was the main selling point of the station for me after all

When your VM sits on the station, does it wiggle a little when you touch it? Does it work better in any of the three positions it will fit as you turn it? Check for these two things. If you find either or both your heater stand may need adjustment (this lack of consistency and power is exactly what many of us were experiencing; the adjustment cured it for me and others). When your wok seats completely you will be able to turn it slightly but it won't wiggle. If it sits well in certain positions but not others, the heater stand is probably slightly off-center relative to the shape of your Vapman. Also if it sits well in certain positions but not others, you should be able to get at least halfway decent results from the additional contact in the better positions before you adjust. After adjustment it should seat perfectly in each of the 3 positions.So far I am honestly a bit disappointed with the station.

In any case, you will need to make sure (by touch) that you've seated it well for best results. A properly fitting station will be almost mindless to seat well on, but it is still possible to seat it less than perfectly on a well-centered heating stand.
Instructions for centering your heater stand:
Vapman
On setting 9 i need three heat/draw cycles to get the first visible vapor When you set it on the station does it look perfectly upright? If you turn your VM one position, does it sit any differently? With one of mine, if I seat it carefully and in the same position (which I think means it's...

Thank you, that might be the problem. After a quick test 1 of the 3 positions looks a little off center and the Vapman does wiggle when pushed. The docking part looks centered though but I'll have a closer look tomorrow.

Mine didn't look off center either, it was more the way the vapmans looked on it that I could tell by. Watch from above as you turn it and you can see how your vapman may look closer to the wall at some points.
