baking soda

Mix of mustard and baking soda - that’s how people was cleaning pans before liquid dish soap)))

Vapman always have amazing taste))) but when it’s really clean - it’s so pure))))) wow…

So, the Vapman og or click are pretty much unobtanium in the UK? A couple of UK retailers only, as far as I can see, but seemingly always out of stock.

I just re-checked about mustard, so basically made half-year cleaning routine.

So, the vapman 6 months after previous cleaning - around 500-600 bowls:

My regular dose covers this area:

So - teaspoon:

Fresh boiled water.

Mix

Apply. Avoid nozzles.

Put upside down (mustard will move from nozzles) and close with plastic.

Put fresh boiled water to cup and close it with other plastic, so steam will stay out of bowl with vapman.

This way it will heat mustard.

Wait around 1 hour.
And then clean off mustard and dirt with toothpick.

Clean with ear sticks and hot water. Remove all mustard.

While cleaning nozzles hold the vapman in way, that wet thread will not touch mica.

If you are suspicious, that mustard still on the pan - make a round with alcohol pad.
After alcohol better to wipe with water/cotton pad.

And “before”

Half-year cleaning done.

Invaluable. Thank you!

Woaw ! Even though we have recently seen pics of René’s used VM, I really appreciate your post. And with the pics !!

You just use the Click sound instead of the lights to know when vape is ready to puff.

Yeah that's essentially what I do, but I will just have to add that if you pack the click bowl nice N snug but ensure clean edges along the chamber then respect the click heat either man or station you can get some really nice tasty hits at 1st then clouds later . Plus it's so much easier and that's what I want..

On this last day of the year, the good neurotic that I am, looked at his Vapman too closely....
it had been 3 weeks of daily use...
i needed to know what it looked like in terms of cleanliness / dirt behind the grids...

well, it was about time...
i'm going to try to do this once a week. it's really practical and fast. it's one of my favorite features!

tackling the Vapman... brought me to a mountain...
i had maintenance to do for my wooden vaporizers (wood polishing and metal polishing)... i was putting it off a bit...
fortunately the Vapman was ready because I had several hours of work... and several bowls of Vapman helped me!!






Edit: my best wishes to all for this year 2025. may we be able to see it as positively as possible!

Can I ask a question what's a good polish or wax brand that's good for the wood non toxic and available in the UK lol so not looking for much

Not who you asked, but the brand Blockx has a polymerized linseed oil that's confirmed to not contain any drying agents and is therefore completely non-toxic. It should be available in the UK.

I've used it as a standalone with good results. A thin layer takes about 4-5 days to dry IME. Just make sure to safely dispose of any rags that've been in contact with the oil as there's a small risk they could self-ignite if you just throw them in the trash.

For reference, it gives this kind of amber touch to the cherry wood:

Edit: This is for finishing the wood. I just realized that you were perhaps wanting options for just polishing it? Sorry if I misinterpreted.

Thanks T9 I'll look out for it looks really nice Ty for the pixt and information.

Thanks. Where is 'direct', nowinhale.com? So, you need to keep it under 135 pounds to avoid brexit tax, meaning only the cherry model qualifies? In that case, might as well order from Azzwood (.co.uk), which presumably won't incur any import charges no matter what price. And their vapman prices are pretty much the same as nowinhale anyway?

Any recommendations for a first time vapman purchase? Ultimately, I prefer IH to flame but, at 360 pounds for the Station, will stick with the using a torch and I'm fine with that.

thanks for that. Any suggestions whether to go for a click or og?

Their website doesn't have any contact details other than a chat option, which they don't seem to respond to. I just want to know if I should expect UK import charges if over 135 pounds or not, as that would directly impact which models I would choose to order.

 

[Cheebsy]

They're both fantastic. Which one you prefer depends on your preferences. I think the larger bowl of the click is a definite upgrade but if your tolerance is low then its a much smaller issue.

Customs Duty​

You’ll be charged Customs Duty on all goods sent from outside the UK (or the UK and the EU if you’re in Northern Ireland) if they’re either:

• excise goods
• worth more than £135

If you’re charged Customs Duty, you’ll need to pay it on both:

• the price paid for the goods
• postage, packaging and insurance

Tax and customs for goods sent from abroad

VAT, duty and customs declarations for goods received by post or courier - paying, collecting your goods, getting a refund and documents.

Thanks. I'm fully aware of the custom thresholds actually. It's just that the situation is sometimes confused depending on what you buy. For example, you can buy a pair of speakers from the retailer Thomann and others in the EU, costing into the thousands but you don't pay a penny more when they arrive. I was just trying to establish if this was the case at nowinhale but from your replies, it seems charges will indeed apply for purchases over 135 pounds. Thanks again .

Edit: just ordered a walnut click and delighted to join the club -)

Thank you for posting this info...I am going to look into it. Cheers.

Thank you for posting this info...I am going to look into it. Cheers.

Linseed oil is often on the list of what not to use in finishing wood, because of the chance it will turn rancid. In this case maybe it would manifest as smell, I don't really know.
I believe waxes (especially beeswax), lightly applied, are a more appropriate finish in this application.
I've never owned a Vapman and I don't know what their recommendations are; I'm speaking as a career woodworker.

Edit: been doing a litlle reading and it seems polymerized linseed oil is likely a safe bet.
Apologies to @T9R
Sorry if I seem alarmist!

 

[warren0728]

for what it's worth ... rene (original vapman creator) uses boiled linseed oil

No you're good, I'm more offended by you having never owned a Vapman!

I'm biased but I think it should have a spot in most collections. And for people who appreciate wood and/or manual ingenuity there are really no excuses not to have (at least) one.

This poor thing (1.0) appears to have been in the wars, but at £50 on eBay, it was too good to miss (I intend to give it away)

Any thoughts how on how I might bring this applewood lovely back to its former glory? I'm assuming fine sanding finished with plenty of linseed will be sufficient, but wood restoration is new territory for me, so thought I should check with you all before I dive in. Thanks in advance for any thoughts/reflections.

[Edit: Any UK folks looking for a spare hemp egg or loading funnel, please DM me. They're both free to a good/doubtful home - I've no need for either]

Azzwoodcustoms.co.uk got you covered

Azzwoods are excellent. CS absolutely on point, and extremely helpful. Like all the main UK vendors tbh (RVS, Vape Wellness, Vapefiend)

Take pics of your process! I'd love to see how it unfolds. : )
