The boys will sell you a new bowl! Not expensive and very easy to swap out.it's my fault. After a little fall, my vapman wasn't straight anymore and, thinking it was because of that little rod, I fiddled with it and it broke. And the vapman is still bent
The denser the wood the hotter it will get.
There's a "best of" but it's really worth reading the whole thread imo.
I love these photos...beautiful. I feel like I am there. Your Vapman Walnut Click is very beautiful and I am so happy you are using it outside...that must have been such a pleasure to do in this weather. Enjoy and I appreciate the photos. Super nice.My friend Vapman had the privilege of being used outside the house... It's exceptional. I wonder if it's not the first time, by the way... or the second.
The click was very practical because it was impossible to see the flame.
I was even able to heat while walking... which I didn't suspect was possible.
At -10°C, it takes a little longer to reach temperature but it's super pleasant in terms of the balance of freshness / heat / taste / visible vapor.
I have vaporizers that are easier to use outside. But I will test again in other conditions!!
I just use linseed oil when necessary.Thankfulky my closest neighbor has two hives so I'm covered.
Just control distance and flame intensity. I like to heat, remove, then reheat. You'll get the hang of it. Then you'll be able to microdose and save money. Love vapmans. Cant wait to buy a lotus.
You can use a flame and combust if you'd like. So, yes.

Hey Hagbard ... on the ebony shot, lower left, ... is that a scoop i see ... if so can i ask where you got it ? ... thanks ...time to put my two new zippo xmas presents into good use!
Thanks.
I would not recommend that at all. Over the years I have collected the torch that comes with the Vapman...or use to. They sell it on their website. Those do fine. It really needs to be a torch with a nice point flow to aim at the center. I truly HATE using a torch so, I use the STATION always...with the Click I have been using the torch more...but, if you are a patient and have sometimes difficulties with your hands...get a Station. I cannot live without the Station...it does all that work for you and no butane costs...
I agree with @Dr. G - the torch experience with the Vapmans really benefits IMO from a very fine point needle torch. The ‘high quality jet torch’ they sell on their site has actually been very solid for me. I find them perfect for torching with the most control for temp ramp up, crisp on/off button, and fine point flame that doesn’t have too much radiant scorching. Even my Honest single torch flame size gets a bit round and wide, slow to turn off, making the vapman a bit hot for my fingers after some extended sessions.
Glass is definitely optimal in a lot of ways, and I think a shorter version would be excellent. But they currently can't make glass MPs with the adjustable air intake design, unfortunately.
i wouldn't think i'd be using a magic eraser on mica. its so filigrane you would peel off the layers. but thanks for the recommending.

never use iso on wood. golden rule
yep. its a very good butane insert. tank is smaller but the flame consistency and the haptic is top notch. although some say otherwise i would highly recommend using a torch. imo you can way better drive to the points you want, the ritual is more elegant and to play with flame length and heat transfer is much more satisfying. i can't get used to my station and the vapour is much lighter than with a torch. hence why it was developed for the use with a torch
for me its the best to use the vapman outside and on the go so a (good) torch is a winner for me.
Why not?
Isopropyl has water in it. the water can damage the wood by swelling and it will damage the finish when applied. it also does not evaporate fully so something will stay in your wooden parts and will be inhaled when warmed/heated. acetone is the better cleaning solvent for wood although you should use it not that often cause it dries out the wood and also the colors might diminish over time.
Disagree,at least partially.

I'd keep alcohol away from you wooden vapes. I messed up my dani fusion stem and sticky brick runt by cleaning them with isopropyl. I never soaked them or anything just wiped away the resin and cleaned the alcohol off afterwards with a paper towel and they still both swelled and warped over time.Disagree,at least partially.
I use 99% iso alcohol, not everyone has this available. Usually on the shelf is 70% or 91%, those each being diluted with much more water.
On the question of evaporation, I found this (my italics)
What are the benefits of using 99% isopropyl alcohol?
Besides its effectiveness as a disinfectant – which is one of the key benefits for many, 99% IPA evaporates quickly and cleanly, leaving behind no significant or notable residues. Wihile its rapid evaporation does reduce its shelf life, it also makes it one of the most effective agents against sticky residues, grease, and grime.

When is 99% Isopropyl Alcohol Used? Everything You Need to Know
99% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is one of the purest forms of alcohol available on the market and is used in any circumstance where a lesser concentration
True that any solvent might be prone to absorption by wood, risking some of the gunk gets carried with it into the pores of the wodd, where they will remain. Bad? Maybe, maybe not....
Wiping a wooden object down with water, while it may discolor or change a finish, will likely not be enough water to swell the object. It's not the same a soaking...
I guess any liquid in enough quantity and time could warp or swell wood, especially small wooden things.
Honestly though, the Vapman is one of those vapes that you can get away with never cleaning with solvents. I haven’t cleaned my OG’s in years. I use a broken end of a qtip to push out any gunk from the mouthpiece and the other end to clean any gunk from the midsection when it’s warm and the resin is easy to remove. I’ve cleaned with solvent a grand total of one time in the 4 years I’ve had my main Vapman.
Greetings, since the new CLICK works on the Station somewhat...David and Michael are considering doing something. The "something" does not have a release date.
