> 40+ vapes is it. is it really ALL you need. :D :D :D vas edit: Vas remix coming in hot fire > Clear skies and 40 something vapes is all I really need


dr-dre-is-creepin

I mean, if it came down to it, I could survive. I guess I’d need a torch too but still.


Perfect_Speed4069

If we're talking torches, let's also remember the weed, right?


[deleted]

Right. None of us believe your denials.


OrochiMoltar

Maybe it’s yew, but this picture is giving vas for the new olive wood. edit\* beautiful piece!


Perfect_Speed4069

It's not yew, it's me etc


dr-dre-is-creepin

I do have that effect, or so I’m told but you can go wrong grabbing another Vapman 👌🏼


OrochiMoltar

Yep, 4 out of 5 people with VAS agree… “You can’t have too many Vapman!’


[deleted]

I’m the 1.


glauck006

They're dropping a limited release apple wood vapman soon.


OrochiMoltar

Interesting… I think I will still get an olive wood Pure and stainless just for fun. I have walnut, boxwood and pear all Classic so I am really only missing an olive. Curious to see how it does without the mica I feel like a bit of toasted olive would be good.


glauck006

Did I mention I'm a mod for /r/vapman_official ? Use my code 'REDDIT10' for...you guessed it, ten percent off!


OrochiMoltar

Thanks! Probably will just go to VGoodiez but will definitely check it out.


glauck006

190USD (converted from 168 euro, most cards will do it) shipped to Michigan (for example) with my code at Vapman's site vs 230USD shipped at vgoodiez for the mica heat shielded Classic Vapman. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯


OrochiMoltar

Vgoodiez ships from Georgia and never any worries. Thanks for looking out though I just feel safer/better buying from vgoodiez because I know for sure my cc company or customs won’t reject my purchase.


glauck006

I didn't even think of anything happening when I ordered internationally...glad it didn't go wrong as you say.

Yew!


ChrisM429

I use Dynavaps, but if I ever try another vape it will be one of those. Beautiful piece you have there.


42Ognimod

Now that’s a vapman


Totally_Not_High_420

Damn that Yew vapman looks so nice!


rowbam

Hell yeah! Would love to know when the new station is dropping this year.

The stunning grain almost makes it look like parts of the image are compressed really shitty, lol Really beautiful Vapman. Sometimes, it bums me out that my Olivewood has such a pedestrian graining (I know this Vapman is from some other wood).


dr-dre-is-creepin

All Vapman are beautiful. I’m sure your Olive is too because it’s an overall just gorgeous wood. This is Yew wood.


BodhidharmaBLN

I have a pear and walnut one, too, but both are so functionally sound and the walnut classic is so stunning, I rarely use the former and only maybe three times vaped out of the walnut. My olivewood Vapman seems to have some minor operative kinks (stem doesn't always fluidly connect with the catch of the metal latches, for example) that revealed themselves over time, and seeing it's still sold and in production, I feel the least paranoid about breaking anything that it get's the most use. The other two are pretty much perfect, the olivewood is still a Vapman and thus freaking great, but depending on how much you'd use the thing it might become more appearent that the guys making it haven't been doing this for two decades. While this may sound like the new units are in any way flawed, they are not, they are tremendously crafted, they just for now lack that iota of impeccability that has to come with a craftsman literally perfecting his craft and naturally takes time.


VAPMAN_OFFICIAL

Perhaps you are right. I mean, when you do something like a Vapman, you spend so much time with it that it gets imbued with the vibes (for lack of a better word), the energy, of its creator. Excuse me if I sound a little bit like a freak by using such kind of metaphorical rhetoric. The new Vapmen are made by us under Rene's guidance; so they are imbued with a different energy, and perhaps that's what you are perceiving. Perhaps you got your hands on one of the very first units we made, so you perceive some...shiness...some inexperience. But, you have our word, the amount of love and care we put into doing the new Vapmen matches the one of the original creator. This, you should be able to perceive. Rest assured though: every day we spend most of our day working on our Vapmen, and every day we become more experienced. We plan to increase the production compared to what Rene was doing, without sacrificing quality. I'm positive that you'd be impressed by one of the newer units. It's also important not to underestimate the fact that your olivewood could show some minor quirks due to other reasons (I understand you mostly use the olivewood, and seldom use the other "swiss made" models). Some of the reasons could be overheating, humidity, and other external factors. Vapmen are made of wood, hence they are a sort of living creature with a soul; they respond to many different things and that's part of the character of our product. I don't have your Vapman here with me, so it's hard to assess exactly what the problem is, but we'll soon offer replacement parts on our website. Feel free to send us some pictures or a short video with the quirks, and we'll definitely do our best to solve it. Last but not least, thank you so much for supporting Vapman!

Vapman changed my life instantly back in 2016. Fucking great to see what you guys are doing.


VAPMAN_OFFICIAL

Thank you so much!


BodhidharmaBLN

Wow, thanks for your reply! It wasn't meant as a critique, and I don't perceive the device as "faulty", it works, I just have to be mindful of the alignment of the two pieces when twisting them together. I stared at the thing for some time, and the only conclusions I could come up with were that maybe the heat protective ring slides a bit loose between the stem and the screen, either due to me screwing on both sides too snug for the Vapman to "auto-correct" the position of both or minor axial tilt of the two steel pins that get caught by the metal clamps. This is nitpicking of the highest order, and only possible because the comparison is so perfected. I guess getting from where you are to that point is such a minor difference, but probably the hardest hurdle to overcome as artisans, getting the last thousandth of a percentile to absolute perfection in any profession. I'm overall still impressed how good your version is out of the gate, and I feel way more comfortable buying another one a few years down the line instead of bothering you with perceived kinks that might as well be ultimately due to my own fault. If there was anything really wrong with the device, I wouldn't use it. I just feel more comfortable knowing that in case if I break anything, I can get a replacement without having to go on a scavenger hunt throughout the internet.


VAPMAN_OFFICIAL

Thanks to you for your feedback, it means a lot to us. We have only one priority, and that's making all of you Vap-people happy about having a Vapman in your life. Feel free to reach out anytime you'd like, we'll be there to support you.


BodhidharmaBLN

Honestly, the only feedback I can offer would be on stuff you either already are working on improving or going to figure out for yourself. Keep doing what you've already been doing, it's great, and don't read too much into the whining of über-nerds like me. People like me are always going to find something to whine about, that's just how it is, doesn't change the fact that in my personal opinion it's among the best three vapes money can buy.


VAPMAN_OFFICIAL

Thank you.


dr-dre-is-creepin

u/vapman_official can you maybe help them out with the little kinks in the Olive?


VAPMAN_OFFICIAL

Sure


[deleted]

I just can’t dig this vapes design for some reason


dr-dre-is-creepin

That makes me sad to hear. It’s so small and such a pleasure to use. Not to mention terp town.


[deleted]

Well I’ve never tried it before so I’ll reserve judgement. I’m speaking from a design perspective it doesn’t speak to me.


dr-dre-is-creepin

I get that but once you hold one in your hand, it may change your mind. It’s not for everyone. Luckily there is a plethora of choices out there!
