And the Vapman Womans, and Vapman Enbies et al
Where’s the love?? So lo-tech it makes the Dyna look space-age, and so flavoursome it makes the Mighty cry.
Give it up for the Vapman!

That’s a sharp looking vapman. It has a cult-like following among some for good reason. They’ve been in business a long time. I remember trying out a Vapman about 8 years ago - it was quite a tasty conduction vape. Although as usual, I totally wouldn’t share mine with friends for fear they’d combust haha.
It’s a well built device and I totally get why people like it.
Although I personally am a Lotus fan - I much prefer the pure convection heating over the conduction heating of the Vapman. I was so sad when Max announced he was closing Lotus vapes. But it makes me so happy to know that Vapman acquired the rights and started building the Lotus again - I can’t wait to add a vapman built copy to my collection some day.
I actually think the Vapman is more forgiving wrt combustion than other butane vapes; I’ve combusted in all my Dynas, Anvil, and Sticky Brick;. but never in my Vapman. Maybe it’s because I’m less confident with my technique, so I tend to creep up on the temp rather than blasting past it.
Heard great things about the Lotus. It’s def on my radar; which no other prod vapes really are - think Toad, Tetra etc. I have such a nice collection - altho not super extensive - that I’m not really interested in anything but the niche/artisan vapes now. I think my first TinyMight was order 300-and-something, back in Jan/February 2020; and I’ve been sold on small makers and craftsmen (Delta… take a bow…) ever since.
Yeah, I’d agree with that, but I usually don’t share butane vapes in general with friends because I’m a flavor chasing snob.
The Lotus is a wild stallion - it’s insanely easy to overheat and combust and takes a lot of practice to master draw speeds and torch control. I personally found a figure-8 pattern was optimal, but you gotta keep that torch moving to avoid overheating and burning one section of the flower.
But I’ve never had a vaporizer that would let me reach the cusp of combustion without flashing over - I loved that vape with a grav-labs j-hook with a pinch of water in the crook to give it a natural perc bubbler that was extremely soothing on the lips with it’s purring sensation haha.
The TM is a hell of a beautiful device - I’ve handled both models quite a bit, but haven’t had the chance to add one to my personal collection (I’ve got literally too many devices in my collection already haha).
Hah! I have the GRAV j-hook, and I have to confess I’ve never put water in it; I can def see the appeal of the eloquently-described purring sensation. As I noted in that other post, I rarely put water in ‘water’ pieces, but you make it sound eminently attractive.
I have to say I’m surprised the TM hasn’t found a home in your bounteous collection. As far as battery portables go, it’s pretty nearly end-game for what I would imagine would be a majority of users. There are more powerful vapes, and more beatiful ones, but not available without going on waiting lists and shit; ain’t nobody got time for that. Well, maybe I do. But I don’t have the budget at this stage.
Lol for sure, the J-hook with a pinch of water and the purring sensation was not only soothing, but it also helped me monitor my draw speeds more precisely which is important for the Lotus.
The TinyMight is indeed an awesome device. But it hit the market about five years too late hahaha. I literally have over two dozen devices in my collection. I have so many high powered units that I don’t even handle often (like my original VapeXhale Cloud+ which was a predecessor to the Cloud Evo with an original vertigo hydratube - one of the first hydratubes ever created). Often clients will send me devices for test-fitting parts, and some encourage me to use the devices so that has also given me the ability to handle countless other devices.
Ever heard of a Venus Apollo? Instead of conduction or convection heating, it actually used radiant heat, via a halogen light bulb to cook the herb. It was one hell of a nifty portable device - my biggest complaint was the overly complicated control system ( it would have been a much better device with a more simple control system like the TinyMight )
