Saturday I got the vapman and what a great feeling it was to know it was taken by customs or lost. It came with the wood stem I ordered installed so that’s how I broke it in. This was my first torch lighter which is much smaller and quitter then I expected, works great every click. So went straight to work on my technique. I was and still can be a bit lighter shy when starting off. Not huge hits but great tasting smooth hits. Tasted so good for soo long I ended up pushing it too far and combusted my last hit. I did the same thing 2 more times before getting a taste for when its the right color abv for me. I’m still playing with the depth of the flame to the apex. And I found out just one second can be a big difference in heat. I’m starting to get a nice rhythm down but cant believe the amount of adjustments u can make to the vapor from heating to covering the holes in the mouth piece like chokes. It seems I’m always trying something new each hit which is blast to me and makes this vape a lot of fun to use. I ordered the concentrate screens received 4 which was an awesome little bonus. The quality of the screens is to notch they are thick and sturdy. Last night I decided I would break off a little hash and try these screens out. With out a doubt that was the best hash session I have ever experienced, taste alone was amazing. It lasted forever I had to take a few breaks an set it down for a while haha.
Here is a picture concentrate screen ready to blast off into deep space.
I heard that the egg was waterproof and I really was interested in testing this for myself. I thought this was gonna be a summer vape for kayaking, canoeing, camp fires, disc golf, and any other outdoor activities. To test this I filled a quart mason jar with water, put the funnel and the vapman in the egg closed it up and dropped it in the water.
After a few drops in water and even held under for a few seconds, I cracked open the egg to find everything bone dry zero leaks and on top of that this thing actually floats really well. So my yellow egg can be spotted floating down the Alleghany if every lost over board, how sweet it is haha.
I wish I would have picked up the extra mouth piece screen for alternating during cleaning. Also that screw driver would have been clutch and an extra funnel just incase. I think that would be a nice little accessory kit those 3 items, couple extra screws and maybe a tool that can be used to clear out the air holes. I haven’t had to clean this vape yet other then poking out the abv and dusting off the left overs. I think a handle with a wire from the end would work to push through the air tubes and maintain the best air flow. Not sure if they will ever get built up with abv just my imagination thinking.
Wood vs. plastic mp tips my opinion is there isn’t much difference in temp of the vapor, and both have great flavor. I would have been fine with just the black plastic mouth piece but since I have the wood I use it more and it does add a bit more natural earth flavor which I find complementing to the herb. I would say the wood mp is nice to have but not necessary to this vape. I would love to see an ED TNT WONG for this in the future if possible. Also and extended mp glass or wood would be nice to try as well.
Over all conclusion for my vapman review is that I’m glad I pulled the trigger and picked up the walnut basic. Its way smaller and I think it can be quite discreet if need be. The flavor is unreal maybe better then my hammer which is the best I have had the privilege to try for flavor so far. The hash session changed my life. Great lighter and the egg floats. The heat up time is just seconds before u get quality vapor. Lots of control and variations for the vapor with air holes/carbs and heating freedom. If I was to have one fault or con to this vaporizer it would be that its easy to combust for rookies like myself.
So I’ll keep practicing with the vapman and enjoy the effects of just a pinch. I think it is pretty much about exactly the same amount I would pack in to a hammer stem which makes this just as efficient. With the 3 air hole open this is one of the smoothest and great tasting vapor, but I also like covering all 3 holes to get the warm dense vapor.
Thank you everyone that makes up this thread providing all the great info that helped me make this vaporizer apart of the crew.
