Hello everyone,
We’ve noticed that some of you have spotted the small glue spots behind the upper heat shield of the Vapman, so we’d like to provide some clarification.
For this connection, we use a food-safe two-part epoxy resin (e.g., West System 105/205), which is:
• Heat-resistant up to 150–200°C (302–392°F)
• Non-toxic when fully cured (we only use certified food-safe variants)
We deliberately chose this solution because we wanted to avoid screws, as they would increase heat transfer. Since the new model has less wood to allow for a replaceable pan, screws would have made the device even hotter.
The glue is minimal and has absolutely no impact on the safety or functionality of the Vapman. You can continue enjoying it without any concerns!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Best regards,
Michael

With stem, as requestedI’d love to see that stem if possible
I have the possibility to get a VapMan pure (no click) with an simrell intercooler and metal mouthpiece, cherry woodd, barely used for 50-55€. Whats your opinion on getting that vs the VapMan click for 75€? I would only use it like once every two weeks, which is why I think the click may be useful. I only vape like 0.05g, so I wouldd not profit from the bigger bowl. Would love some quick input.

I posted a handful of pics a few pages back that show how .01-.02 loads work in both pans, the conical and the click. The small one is probably the more natural micro-doser but a .05 (about a half-filled OG conical pan) should be absolutely no problem in a Click. If you haven't used a Vapman before, the click will get you up and running easier, but the conical pan will be awesome as well and better for hash and the Station. Hope this doesn't confuse the issue too much! ; )

When can we expect to see them on the site?

Still works great, as does the other one of yours I have. Thanks.

I have a Swiss classic that has those kind of waves, though not as deep. I'm not sure it's the wood shrinking but probably the mica that warps a little with heat ?

My Clicks and V2s are wrinkly like this, as well. The V1s have the mica sheet screwed in and I don't see it there. However a couple of my Swiss ones have slight wrinkling.

Z Vapman, he has arrived!
Its still a few days to a few weeks until I can try it out but I'm getting it ready. Is there any particular initial cleaning I should do beyond wiping the bowl with some iso? Does the wood take oil or wax? I saw something about "pure" versions on vgoodiez but am unclear if the vapman 2 i got is coated or not. I'm kind of a sucker for wood and leather care
I'm a little bummed about having to cover the carb in order to use this glass mouthpiece. Are there easily available glass mouthpieces that either let you use the adjustable airflow or just block it completely?
Also this thing is tiny! one thing i'm learning through this year's gear upgrade is that everything is smaller in real life than the pictures on FC

I think you could use a common wood treatment like Ed's bombass butter, Sticky Brick butter, etc. It's a combination of an oil that won't go rancid and beeswax. Just make sure to avoid areas under direct heat, the vaporpath, and the mica. I don't know of a glass mp that will block the hole, but the glass WPA blocks the hole and you could us it with a j-hook or clip it to a glass stem, like one from @RogueGuy. He's also making new wooden and maybe acrylic SS-lined Vapman stems and wpas I believe, so watch for those.
Hope you enjoy the heck out of your kit when you get to try it!

The pure is an amazing deal at that price, and it will likely feel super refined and premium in hand with the metal mouthpiece. And as coolbreeze pointed out the OG no click pan is better for hash. The entry level Click is pretty much fool-proof and has an easier learning curve, but it feels noticeably less refined in your hand. I do think the Click has better flavor, but they're very comparable.
I don't think you can go wrong here! Just a matter of how much you value premium aesthetics vs. fool-proof function.

Yeah, I have an olive v1 Italian and recently bought the basic maple click. I reach for the click more as it is easier to gauge with that one temp marker - the click. A tiny amount like .02- .03 grams, a couple of hits pre click then a couple after and the herb is spent. The beauty of the click is that it stirs or shakes up a small load for a more even roast imo.
Maple?
Isnt it cherry wood?

Hi vapman’s family,
I post here because I recieve my station (fact.second) yesterday and I have an issue with my italian’s vapman (both v1 and 2.0).
Let me explain this, the station works like advertised with my og swiss pear one and it works great but either of my italians vm aren’t detected by the station .
They don’t place properly on the « pan support » like my og swiss, I tried with all positions with my 3 italians vm and none of them are sitting correctly in the station.
When in place the top of my og is down approx 1 mm under the top of the station but my italians are flush with the top of the station so they don’t sit down in the station like my swiss one.
I wonder why i’ve no issue with my og but the italians don’t take place properly, any idea folks ?
I contacted the inhale support but with the Champs show in Vegas I don’t hope to get an answer quickly from them.
Thank you and vape on.

Use an induction heater for them then.no max....this is not a myth....do you know bic lighters?in my short butane experience sometimes flame fails and i can appreciate a awful butane taste that make me sick....i'm agnostic...i do believe only to my senses!
no hate to butane vapes just too low-grade for me....too crack head....just my
The Italian redesign has the bowl set lower inside the heart piece than the Swiss units. That's totally normal that the body of the Italian vapman appear flush while the Swiss appear recessed in the station.
The fact that they don't trigger the light sensors is an issue though.
If I recall correctly the sensors are set lower than the space occupied by the vapman itself (either version) and it's only the vapman obstructing the aperture of the station that triggers the sensor.
Swiss units are wider by a millimeter or two so they obstruct light more effectively.
Your unit not detecting the Italians seems like the light sensors need to be recalibrated.

Ok thank you for your expertise , i didn’t even know how the sensors work , i tried to put my italians on the station and I obstructed the light with my hands wrapped around the vapman but again no détection occurs (the led stays solid orange) … But i just discover when I put an italian one and tilt it on one side (i mean the max i can when in place in the station) the station detects it and works (orange light blinks).
I remember guys had to move a little the vm heating élément on their station to get it to work (red on this thread a while ago), do you think this can be my issue here ?

Can you show us pics? Here's how mine look seated in the station:
OG Swiss, V1 Italian
V2 Italian, Click.
All positions trigger the light except for the Click, which has the flat bottom that doesn't fit all the way down into the heater's dock.
It's possible that your heater pole is off-center enough to prevent the Italian models from fitting but I think if it was that far off you'd see it plainly.

It looks like mines sit a bit higher in the station than yours.

Perhaps your heater stand needs adjustment. It looks okay in the photos, but I suspect it would be hard to tell.
I remember @coolbreeze adjusted theirs and a few others to a large improvement in performance.
