Hello everyone...
From Renè I received this wonder... purple heart.
I wanted to thank him publicly hoping that he reads here.
I use this wonder mainly with the station, very efficient!!!
Thank you Renè!!!
You're most welcome!
Thank you,

How many vaps could a Vapman vap…
FWIW, I think a lot of us have ditched the cooling spiral altogether, definitely not a necessary piece. Though, I seem to be noticing some waning quality control lately which is slightly concerning.

Same, it's causing some uneven charring on the base and the middle. I tried to fit my calipers in there but the fit was awkward. I don't notice a difference in post length, at least to my naked eye.

Greetings, it is always so wonderful to come to this thread and see what is going on with Vapman fans. Also, it is wonderful to see that Rene comes to this thread and reads and posts here as well. We are so lucky to have the Master visit.
Cheers everyone and I hope you have a great VAPMAN day...peace.

Could you please explain the issue?
Not really a problem. the observation that the mica holds with glue dots.
Finally it would be interesting and reassuring to know that the glue is harmless.

Mica acts as a heat insulator, so it mainly helps protect the wood. This can be especially useful if you tend to push the temperature quite high (with hash for example). As a result you rarely get any of that wood smoke that you occasionally get with the pure model, and also less charring on the middle piece.
Other functional benefits are in my opinion mostly theoretical and quite negligible in practice. At least with normal use.
The main drawbacks are flaking, water intolerance and aesthetics (depending on your preference).
You could say that it protects the Vapman at the cost of making it less hardy. I personally think the pure model is nicer to have with you on a hike.

I strongly prefer the mica. It prevents scorching but I feel like it also makes the piece seem more finished. For the non-clicks, I would probably mind less if I was only going to use it with the station.
I have seen some very burned vapmans, Classics and Basics. None of mine look like that.

I've never noticed any significant flaking with any of mine, and I don't see how it's any less hardy than a non mica version, because you really don't want to get the wood wet either. I likea da mica. I think it looks cool too
I also don't see how it would help prevent charring of the middle piece since the pan/midsection connection is exactly the same. I would expect that to be almost purely based on heating technique, and probably the species of wood to some extent. I've never owned a non mica version though so I can't say for certain.

I've never have any mica flake on any vapman even a little bit.

I agree that it's usually not a problem, but I'd say that it's actually very common to have some flaking. Some people find it annoying while others don't care. I like that they now have both versions available again, and I think you'd find that they complement each other quite well.
A tip: The mica doesn't really like to be touched, so it's best to just let it be when it happens.

I kind of prefer the mica, too, never had much flaking or issues. I have two pures I torch sometimes and two that are station only. My walnut endless knot went under the torch before I got the station so I don't mind torching it occasionally but I can't bring myself to torch the Olive or Special Walnut pures, they're too nice. Otoh, the pre-burnt Click is really nice and I'm happy to use it either way.

I can't say for certain either but in my experience, having used both models, it's a noticeable difference.
I would assume that the mica absorbs/deflects some of the heat, which then reduces the peak temperature of the heat that comes in contact with the middle piece. This should result in less charring compared to the pure model, which allow more of a straight path. But I'm just speculating.

Absorbing and deflecting are opposite to each other. Mica is a very good insulator which is why it is used. It should absorb significantly less heat than wood, which means more heat will be held in the midsection area, instead of the surrounding bare wood of a pure model. Do you have one of each that are made out of the same type of wood, and have definitely been heated the same throughout their lives?

Not of the same wood, no. But I have used multiple classics and pures and have felt that the ones with mica predictably show less signs of charring with similar usage.
This has obviously not been performed as a controlled study, it's just an observation. And I have no problem with being wrong here. Maybe someone else who has experience with both versions can chime in?
Get the mica. Just treat it more carefully than the pure. Flame is no issue but handling is.The midsection on my Cherrywood is charred to shit if that helps as a data point

I find the mica funnels the heat to the pan for better performance. Both my OGs heat faster than my Click-- if I didn't go by the clicks, I'd have to change my timing.
As for heat retention, I find the density of the wood makes a difference. My ebony OG holds heat better than my less-dense pear— it heats up quick and keeps going.
OTOH the geometry of the cherry Click's bowl helps it roast more evenly than either.
This is why you need to buy them all.
