I got my VerdaVap friday of last week, I was just being a bit lazy and hadn't got around to sharing anything yet.

So here is a little dump including my preferred way of using the device - the VerdaBlunt & the little modifications I made to make it work for me


A quick example of using the VerdaBlunt in the Forge (I don't like using rubies so this has 3mm boro)


A interesting piece of information; the VerdaVap oven fits the TA adjusta-bowl, its every so slightly to large but it still screws in comfortably.

The differences in the ovens is very noticeable, the VV takes a very very long time to cool down & takes more energy to heat up... the VV oven seems to pair better with the Forge because of the significantly increased amount of stainless steel.

Working on dialing this in. Torch so far, will see how it does with the Conductor. Very dark AVB, still working out the timing


Is yours the Rosewood?

I'm not sure I've seen a really close up shot of the Rosegum final version, I think I saw Reef say on on of his youtube videos posted here that the curing process had changed the colouring on the Rosewood significantly.

It's true that it takes a long time to cool down, and I don't really like emptying the bowl when it's cold because it's always more difficult, so to be able to handle it when it's hot, I designed this little custom leather loop with thick leather so as not to risk burning myself :

Hey guys looking for some help. I've recently discovered that using a butane device like a Sticky Brick type kind I get a severe reaction to the taste of butane. But I'm dying to still be able to use a device like that, not the type that Rogue sells or this VerdaVap kind that you just blast it and your done, but the kind where you need a breathing technique, not just a blast and count type technique. Can anyone who owns one see if this can be heated like a brick, meaning hit it with a torch from a cold start and inhale at the same time. Would this option work like that???

Not without introducing air from the flame.

I'm stunned that there are still a small handful of these available!

I still reach for the VerdaVap more often than the Tempest, the Stunner, or the Dani Fusion. It's usually the first vape I reach for each day. It's about to get a lot more exciting with a hotswapper and a stem being developed for the Verdavap.

If you're not sure, just buy it, I promise it's awesome.

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to give you all a quick update! The second batch of VerdaVap 1.5 is currently up for sale, and there are about 10 units left in this batch. This will be the final batch ever of VerdaVap 1.5, but don’t worry if you miss out—VerdaVap 2.0 is on track for release sometime in the first quarter of next year!

I also want to apologize for not being as active here as I originally planned. Life’s been a bit of a whirlwind lately—juggling being a new dad while running around like a headless chicken to get this business off the ground has been a challenge.

That said, I’m really optimistic about the future. Once VerdaVap 2.0 launches, I’m hoping everything will be more streamlined. My goal is to establish regular batches, bring on some help to handle operations, and finally have the bandwidth to engage with the community more consistently—here, on YouTube, and across other platforms.

On top of all that, I’ve been focused on getting VerdaVap 2.0 set up for wider distribution. It’s been mind-blowing—over 10 distributors have already reached out to me, which is wild!

Thank you all for your patience and support. You’ve been a massive part of what’s made this journey so rewarding, and I can’t wait to bring you more exciting updates soon!

I’ll also be posting some pics of future products that are joining the lineup. There’s some fun stuff in the works, and I can’t wait to share it with you all!

Cheers,
Reef

I really hope you're still working on that dynavap ruby insert convection cap you teased a while back 👀

Thanks everyone for the kind words!

Yeah, it still blows my mind that I am a dad!

This whole VerdaVap thing began when I was on parental leave from my old job when my son was born.

Now I've been working on this project daily for over a year now... it's a huge thing to actually bring a product to life, and be able to deliver it to many people is difficult. Not the same as building one for myself :lol:

I am an engineer, so thinking of the thing and getting it built was the easy part. People who have followed along closely know that there have of course been learnings along the way.... but by far the engineering side has been the easiest.

I've been spending SO MUCH time over the past couple of months learning how to actually run a business, because that's an entirely different skillset. I could probably churn out a couple dozen of these myself each month atm, given I spend most my time being dad. I realised that I am going to need to be producing more than that, which I can't do myself.

So now I've just been reading as many books as I can on the business side of things. Marketing, people management, sales, etc. It's all new to me, but it's all stuff I have to learn if I want to be able to bring my vision of the VerdaVap ecosystem to life. As my vision grows, and the demand grows.... again I am realising that I cannot do this by myself, so once VerdaVap 2.0 is released and regular batches are moving I will be looking to bring on some help! Exciting times!

I've also been working on custom packaging, so I can supply distributors.

Anyway - I just want you all to know that I am giving it my all and really trying to get my ducks in a row to establish VerdaVap as a proper company with a product ecosystem, and not just a single product.

I've got some prototype parts landing in this week - photos to come!

G'day everyone!

Grab your vape and gather round.

I recorded a little session with the VV1.5 today, chatting about the current state of VerdaVap, the upcoming 2.0 design and its modular features, discuss potential new heating methods, and reflect on the journey of turning a personal passion into a full-fledged business and ecosystem. It’s a chill session with insights into what’s next for VerdaVap and the amazing community behind it.

Thanks again everyone for sticking with me!
