As Dr. G says, it's normal even with cleaning. The Click appears a little less less susceptible to it, maybe because the herbs get tossed around with the clicks? Mine has a bit of it starting on the sides mostly. Maybe your herbs are a bit more resinous than avg? Not sure if anyone's done it yet with the Click, but the conical pans can be cleaned with a baking soda paste. Directions are within the last year of the thread I believe.
Yes my herbs are mostly resinous and sticky maybe the reason why...With the click system I don't want to try some hazardous cleaning.

Well I clean it everytime too but those dark stains remain and appear more & more after using like burns marks but I did not combust even once, as the click is more or less flat as opposed to the conical original it's difficult to see and I can't find pictures of Click with that kind of stains. Nothing really important .

I think those stains are normal and will happen no matter how often you clean. My Cherry Click had similar stains after just one week of usage even though I always clean the pan with a q-tip while hot. Might just be natural discoloration of the pan material. Either way I think it's nothing to worry about.

When the pan is still hot...is when I clean it with a alcohol pad...I just get a tool and swipe the pad around three or four times and comes out nasty each time and each time it winds up golden clean...the pan over time will change color which I find is inevitable...it cannot be sparkly forever...it will be clean and shiny but, a bit darker all around...that is just the nature of it. So very beautiful....I love those very well kept old versions that are nicely burned in the right places...so gorgeous...a work of art.
Well I clean it when it's hot too with alcohol, the pan is always golden and shiny but the flat bottom gets darker but this Vapman gets me exclatly where I want to be, I'm maybe a bit too house proud : )

Thanks for your answer,so if it's the same with you so it appears to be normal.

My click has staining like that on the bottom silver click disc part also. I feel like I've seen pictures or videos with less stained ones, but it's hard to tell if it's actually less stained or if there's still enough light reaching the reflective metal to make it look shiny at the right angles. My theory would be that it's related to heating technique if there are some used but still shiny ones out there. I like to go slow and low temp with the Vapman. Maybe going higher temp earlier for fewer heatings helps to prevent the staining.

We maybe have the beginning of a solution because I also go slow and low temp. I had never been past the 3 secs after the click. But I only used it less than 10 times and only with dry herb.

How many vaps could a Vapman vap…
A walk in the woods with my favourites.


I usually only take one Vapman with me on hikes but I often feel a little bad that the others just sit there and almost never make it out of the house (very anthropomorphic of me, I know) so this time I took the gang out, and hit a bowl of CBD in all of them along the way.

Thanks @Arawfish
i always love your hiking spots... and the pictures you take... happy to see more of them!

for my part, I'm sharing a piece of my new tray... it's a little more comfortable!!



on another note, I sent my station back two months ago for an upgrade... it got lost in the mail and (following an unfortunate misunderstanding with the postman) I don't have a tracking number...
i really hope it reappears... it's (very) expensive for the misunderstanding otherwise...

oh and... record snowfall in Montreal...

@Dr. G

yeah...

when I finally decided to return my station from the first batch that was heating too slowly (5 seconds after turning green)... it was the end of a strike at post canada...
it's been 2 months and a day since I sent it back 😬

but this story about no follow-up sucks and I'm half responsible for it so... to be continued!

thanks for your message of encouragement in any case, it's nice!! 🤞

Honestly if I thought there was a chance it was wood then I would have bought it
Greetings,

I just purchased four beautiful wood mouth pieces from Rogue...he only has the acrylic on display on the website. But, if you contact him he has a few woods left.

There was even a gorgeous cocobolo left that got sold. He usually has them...you just have to ask.

Guess what friend…

I know the final destination of that cocobolo you speak of :cool:

I really appreciate the heads up. Thank you very much.

Edit to add: I had some credit with him and asked this morning about the vm mp that were “on the way” and snagged my first choice! It was hard not to buy them all 😂

Well done getting in on this batch!

@Grass Yes @nicknobody that one is acrylic. I just changed the listing.

Due to more demand than I anticipated I'm making more MPs and WPAs and hoping to list them Friday or Saturday. I will post the day before they go live.
I am certainly THRILLED about this news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@RogueGuy INHALE has a really nice presence on Facebook with the Vapman...there is a fan club there...I will post later there...thank you for all of the beautiful pieces you make....a true artist.


Hey everyone, here was the first batch that pretty much is gone....but, more to come!
