I finally found the kind of piece I was looking for. 14mm joint, 1.5mm glass, about £15. I'd prefer thicker glass, obviously, but in terms of form factor, this is just what I was looking for Sixteen quid from DHGate...

I know how well loved the station is even, or especially, amongst Vapman veterans. But these issues with the station exemplifies why I love Vapmans so much. They vary enormously. So until I'm given as much control over the station as I have with my £8 torch, I'm not upgrading my heat source...

The added height provided by TRWW Quartz Cap on the Fusion Tip gives really excellent flavour and I think slightly more forgiving temperature control than the QC on a DV for example. But if I'm honest, aside from the fun of playing, the performance is no better and no worse than the various...

A santos palisander roasty, and a goblin. Nothing fancy.

I have not yet, but I have high hopes for this and their BioVapo/elev8r mashup, le Testeur https://lacentralevapeur.com/en/portable-vaporizers/23193006-le-testeur.html LCVs Katalyzer branded glass is always interesting (or affronting, if you consider clones of the CC Prophet anathema). I also...

Any love for the Vapothor - the affordable Euro love-child of a VHB slide and the EMK?

The Ballr was my first and favourite glass for ages and ages, and the best globe that's readily available in the UK. Milks nicely dry, but also gives a really pleasing chuggy experience with water, too (especially for hotter/convection-heavy vapes). And a delight to cradle, when not using it on...

A phrase I've never heard before. From context, I assume this is a bad thing

Great story. Thank you for sharing. I wonder if the IRC aspect might put some folks off, or if it's not such a big deal... Either way, I'm glad there are folks on hand. Or at least, in living memory

So, to my shame I've not clicked on FC Chat before this evening - and discovered its IRC Aside from bringing back 20 year old memories of PGP encyrpted ICQ, I wondered has anyone used this recently? Was it ever used? Or is it like the Resources Section?

Almost anything by Werner Herzog.

As I say, more is more ime with this kind of device. Although I do struggle not to experiment with heating the airpath (if not direct draw) when I get bored, and regret it almost every time (even the times I don't combust). Perhaps the hallmark of these manual vapes is that the reward they pay...

I imagine yes. I also imagine that the impatient user might also attempt a brick-style direct draw - but with a sufficiently powerful torch, I can see this approach being totally unnecessary. I soldiered on for ages with an underpowered torch but since I upgraded, the Elv8r, the various @trwww...

Inspired by this, I went back to green dream and foud their all glass Goblin on sale for less than €43 and worldwide shipping for €10

Personally find the Honest/Jobon bullet to be my most versatile torch. A bit on the big side, but good for Vapman, Lotus, Dani, QCs, Roasty... Tenner from AliEx

If you get the simple heater and clip option, you need - an 18mm male joint adapter (I use 18mm to 18mm) with - basket screen. - something to vaporise - a pipe or a bubbler that fits the bottom of your male to male joint - a medium-strong flame Place a full bowl into the 18mm joint, then...

They're both great vapes for what they are. If you're into niche manual vapes of this kind and want glass only, may I also recommend the Biovapo. And whatever the Black Leaf equivalent is called

I can't speak to the others, but the Roasty is the Ur vape. Wood and glass. Butane. And arguably closest to the joint experience then any other vapes and absolute delight btw. As is the larger and glassier Nameless Conduction vape from @trww

Don't forget some of the first direct draw glass 'bricks', like the underrated Smoke Stack from TRWW, that morphed into the Submarine via the aforementioned Piro...

Interesting. Ste Between the two (stems aside) which do you think performs best?
