Great flavor!

I'm gonna make a new G43 thread asap with the quick start guide and these videos :strong:

Finally, after 2 Rejection's due to My Incompetence, I FINALLY received my OMMA APPROVAL E-Mail... (No Physical Card Yet) !
Next Month will be 50 years since my 1st Experience. I Sure as Hell NEVER thought such would happen in 1969 !

thx! Yes quite the wait. One day I hope to offer prebuilt models in the store but I feel it will still be a while. Last time I spoke Dan said he thought the wait list was about six months but I feel he's being optimistic.

Here is my Cocobolo with Padauk collar coming out of this batch. Can't wait for it to arrive!!


Let me know of any questions.

Finally here!
First impression so tiny! Looks bigger in the videos
Hits amazing don’t have a good lighter tiny flame but still managed to do a few grat seshs
still not able to rotate it evenly some times got huge clouds sometimes nothing but good taste
can finally send my mighty for service in peace

Just received the Fluxer tonight so give me some time to play with it some more. Pictured next to a PSM.

Received mine today. Here it is in gunmetal and 14mm coil. Compared in size to a Portside Mini “PSM”. The 14mm Fluxer heats hotter and faster then the PSM but it’s a little harsh. After only two bowls I prefer the PSM, I get a couple more cooler heat cycles per bowl. They also make a 16mm coil that heats a little slower that might be similar. I’m glad I have both and I’m sure I’ll tune in the Fluxer process to get exactly what I want. Fluxer battery should last about 3 times as long running 3000mah 18650s. I honestly walk past 3 torches looking for my PSM so having two induction heaters in the house is going to be awesome! These little IH are game changers!

How to Assemble the G43 Heater

Finally on the G train!
So far so good, as others have said some very flavorful hits. I’ve only had a few bowls but all had even abv. Using the dual stereo matrix is unbelievably smooth.
This is definitely a one of a kind vaporizer and that is really saying something in a somewhat stale, repetitive, copycat industry. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up!
Thanks we are extremely grateful!!!

I am not talking about a vape with a storage attachment like some of my other weird posts. This post is literally about a storage space for vaporizers. How many vapes and parts do you think can fit in here?

The answer is “enough”, and we’ve got some room to grow into it.

As of today, we’re officially starting our move into a legit warehouse! It’s a big step for us and we can’t thank you all enough for your support.

This forum and its members have been a huge asset to VPM and we look forward to being held accountable by you all and being of service. We’re doing pretty well but we have a long way to go!

Thank you!!!

Shocked nobody else posted this

Dude..... so much going on here. You need a bigger desk! You're turning into Bud with all the 'things' on his desk everywhere. lol Time to upgrade to one of these puppies! :smirk:

Must have enough light and space to show all rigs and attachments and banana carbs! How many carbs do you have and what else are they? :gasp: Nana, Chicken, and....?

Maybe with a bigger center cutout and like less crack-den vibes lol Something you can have bright daytime human vibes and then turn into crack-den eve vibes! :chin: :cool:

i found a nice new one!

Probly in a few hours, we're packing up some orders now and might go out to dinner but still thinkin about it, please standby :100:

After getting so hammered on last Sat stream (NOT my fault...damn taffy! haha) I think I may need to update my avatar to this:

I was only able to catch the end of Saturday's stream, but it was awesome. Bud and Hazel were talking about Valentine's Day and how it is special to them- put that in your pipe and smoke it all you haters! Momma Bud will be messing with the flow a bit this year, but it seemed all good.

Regardless, I found a rogue copy of an early Valentine's poem Bud wrote for Hazel. Never let his charm and romanticism be in question!
@Hazel@VapeCritic

This is @martinstraka8282 right now waitting for his G-43 :yum:

Yo yo yo, too many of you creepers don't have a thumbnail pic and it's time to get with the program! :lol:

How about dis... yesterday at gym. Hazel all swoll!

Have a good day guys! :kiss: Snowing in NY!

Sweet looking pattern to stare at.

Gave the Mi2 a tour of the cold garage. She will be out there with me more often when it warms up or when I ad heat, lol.

This thing is awesome thanks again . Now can anyone tell me which way battery goes so I can rip this thing manual doesn’t say and they is no indicator. Negative down or positive down ???

What's better than one Milaana 2? Try two of them. :grin: @ssaucyc515







I just got my second MI2 today thanks to

The new one is walnut with a queens wood cap

I want a stand for it.

One you can place g-43 inside upside down. It should have a slot for cable on under it and hold it firm.
Above it should be smooth and funnel like with a flat spot to place a load before you poke it down inside G-43.
Next to this would be a place for it to stay in upright position too

So I'm out of Milaana 2 until next week sometime but Ryan and I got together and want send the vape master @vapecritic a nice little care package. We are not expecting anything in return. This is out of respect for what the man has done in the industry and how he helped blaze a trail for all of us.

Well you all know I'm a big fan of RBT and feel it's some of the best out there.. especially in the artisan portable game. You may also know I'm a big fan of @ed's TnT so I put my two favorite manufacturers together and asked Ed to make up some wood stems for the Milaana/Splinter.

Anyway I don't have any Milaana 2 I'm stock at the moment and I want to get this package out. Hopefully Bud has enough time to try these out before Champs. We plan to meet up and I'm hoping to get his thoughts first hand while there. So with me being out I reached into "the drawer" and I'm sending him this very gently used backup that I had. This is Sapele with a Zebrawood cap. I topped it off with a Bocote Ed's long stem which also serves as a 14mm WPA so Bud is in business from the get!

Now there is a few other things in there but I don't want to ruin the surprise. Bud, I hope you like this baby and the other stuff we included. It's the least we can do for a legend in the game! Can't wait to meet at Champs!

HI guys - so, I have a surgically back that on MRI's looks like the Road to Damascus....bit of a mess.

But, I really, really, really try to not let it stop me from activities if I can do them. I'm willing to pay the price afterward in order to stay active and engaged. Its kind of a bit of a war with me....me vs back! haha

So, with that in mind I said "fuck it" and joined my friend, Bender, at a GA Quail Plantation outside of Albany, GA. It was PERFECT. Beautiful cabins, wonderful food and open bar, absolutely GREAT guide and dog handler/trainer, great dogs, and Quail that flew hard. Now these are pen raised and released in large qty before the season....so, released (haha, guide called them "liberated" haha) but been out in the wild for 5-6 months. 10% of the birds live to the next year and join true wild covey's and increasing the wild bird population is one of this Plantation's key goals. Our guide, Tucker, did say he knew where there were a couple of true wild covey's and he got us on one....you can tell, suckers break 30 yards out!! We only took a couple of birds out of the wild covey as you don't want to blow them up....better to have them next time.

Here are some pics

Bender and me (Bender is the big mofo).



Tucker our guide and a great guy....loved hanging with him.


Tucker working two pointers out ahead of us....the flushing dogs stayed back with us until pointers had a bird, then Tucker would send them in to flush. This was the kind of brush we were walking around in for two full days. Oh yeah, I got home at 11pm from the airport and I was beat up and aching to beat the band but you still couldn't wipe that big smile from my face.


Now these are the "hero" pictures! haha This is Tues take...we couldn't miss. Best I have shot in a long time





I'm kind of with Hunter Thompson on this....do what you can while you still can....I'm very grateful that I can still do this kind of thing once in a while.

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! — Hunter Thompson

Ok....since there has been a decent amount of interest in the G43 use with a adapter bowl.....

Here are the 2 I use for Flowerpot, Elev8r, and now G43.




Notice how there is a nice budge area on both that allows for the screen to set into place...and also allows for the air to hit the load evenly.

When you use other adapters that are too wide at the bulge area...or are just round shapes there..you have opposite problems. If too wide...you create a gap and swirl of the incoming air across the load and the otter edges do not get extracted, leaving you with too much stirring and not utilizing all the material well.

When you have an adapter that has no bulge set....or is just a round shape....the screen will never set in place well and it will PYO. lol


Ok....so here are some examples of what is not that good to use.




There are some like this one above...but even more round and ball shaped than this...which leads to the screen sliding around always.

A couple new things to try later
