I'd just like to say that it really saddened me to see the recent events surrounding log vapes
. I really feel like we are a community here, all out to help each other get the best experience out of vaping, and I felt it all got a bit out of hand. Let's keep trying to share the love peeps
Anyways, I think I should make a post detailing the manufacture process and materials used in Wychwood Vaporizers.
The Wood: After turning, boring and installation the bottom Wychwood plug is sanded to a tight fit and, without glue, hammered into place. Then a layer of
glue is used on the exterior bottom to affix the material cover. The wood is then treated to several layers of mixed bees and carnauba wax.
The Cup: The internal Stainless Steel Cup comprises of 3 parts - the central 'Heat Port', the outer wall and the floor. The central heat port is 316 grade, the outer tube and floor both 304. The 3 parts are arc welded together from the bottom using 316 rods. After welding I deburr and grind the welds, then polish using a high speed rotor wire head. A 304 Stainless Steel screen is used in the top of the heat port.
The Electrics: The ceramic heating element is lengthened and connected on one side with a twist and solder joint - solder is also used to connect to the power jack. The power jack is threaded into the wood without glue. I use glass beads for electrical insulation . FWIW The bus wire and solder are both ROHS compliant, the glue FDA approved and I don't like mangoes
If anyone has any questions about anything or would like more information on a specific element please don't hesitate to ask. Like all the log vape makers, I want to produce a product that works well but ultimately I want to make one that the customers are happy with.
