Absolutely love my Tafee PotVault and the beautiful Shadow Iridium PETG color used to make it. Wonderful product at a bargain price. Thank you.

Congratulations on the new business partnership. I would love to see your stainless steel mouthpiece designs for both 9mm and 8mm inner diameter stems! Cheers

Thanks! I’m really excited because I can keep prices low and they polish the parts for me so it’s a better finish (always was my biggest complaint about metal parts).
For what vapes? I’d need to use O-rings to get a nice air-tight seal on the stems. But anything is possible.

Mouthpieces compatible with any stick vape stems (8mm or 9mm) would be great: VaporSolutions Stunner, BFG Dani vapes, Dynavaps, Vaphit, Simrell, etc.
O-ring sizing could be a bit challenging to fit to the dimensions of each vape’s stem. One good solution is to package with a few different o-sizes to accommodate a propper fitment for each stem’s subtle inner diameter variation. Vaphit does this and I use their o-rings often.

@Delta3DStudios - If you can get the dimensions from someone that has one, the Tafee Flaske apparently has an issue with the mouthpiece on the device loosing o-rings and being short for some people. A metal mouthpiece that would track the o-rings better and give a tad more length might be worth making.

For sure, I have the dimensions, it could be possible to print a mouthpiece with deeper O-rings and possibly longer, along with some cooling dimples/fins to smooth out the vapor, but that is a tight space to work with.
If you or anyone would like to give it a shot and pay for the prototype - shoot me a private message, I’d be happy to give it a shot. Turnaround time is about 2-3 weeks for metal 3D printing

I suspect it will be a while before my budget lets me get a Flaske.

Hey ya’ll! In my effort to expand my site’s blog with useful informational content, I finally got around to writing a blog article I’ve been meaning to put into words for a while that some of you might find interesting (especially for beginners):
Dry Vaporizer Waterpipe Guide: Smooth Hits, Better Flavor, and Less Harshness
This one is about using waterpipes with dry vaporizers, but not just in the basic “water cools vapor” sense. I wanted to dig more into how different setups actually change the experience.
Some of the stuff I touch on:
-
why cold water and ice aren’t always the best move for dry vapor
-
why warm or room-temp water can often feel smoother
-
how more diffusion usually means less flavor
-
when multiple water chambers are actually useful
-
why reclaim builds up faster in some glass setups
-
a little basket screen trick I like for helping keep water cleaner
Curious what everyone here prefers. Small simple piece? Matrix perc? Multi-chamber setup? Dry glass? Warm water? Cold water? Tell me what I missed or what you’d add.
Here’s one of my favorite setups - Matrix oil rig with an ash catcher attachment and my classic E-Nano, paired of course with the vape spittoon and a scoop-n-poke tool
Of course I’m all ears for any other special requests for more blog articles in the future, I love dropping some knowledge when I’ve got some down time!

Looking forward to my custom frolic bottom cover! You are the man!

Always happy to help! It’s handy when I have the vape already in my collection so I can print prototypes and confirm the fit before shipping. This design is going to take some tuning because it needs to have a friction fit to slide over the base of the Frolic and stay tight without too tight to make it impossible to remove.
I’m hoping to have some time this weekend to knock out a prototype to check how things fit. Fortunately I already have my Frolic Slim case as a base design so that should save me some time.

Quick shop update!
Hey y’all! Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the last stretch of summer.
I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m definitely starting to look forward to fall weather. Here in Florida that may be more of an optimistic concept than an actual weather forecast at this point, but eventually we’ll get there. 
In the meantime, I figured I’d kick off a little Gear Up for Fall sale.
From now through September 30, you can take 15% off storewide using coupon code: GEARUP15
That applies to just about everything on the site, whether you’ve been meaning to pick up a slim case, funnel, tool, debowler, mDOS organizer, glass accessory, or one of the many other odd little things I’ve accumulated in the catalog over the years.
The only exclusion is the new MMS Metalworks collection.
I’m also doing a little bonus for the POTV Lobo crowd.
I have a batch of blemished Lobo TightVac caddies that are perfectly functional but didn’t quite meet my normal cosmetic standards for regular sale. Rather than let them collect dust in the shop, I’m including one free with any POTV Lobo accessory purchase while supplies last.
No extra coupon is needed for the caddy, and the color will be random.
So if there’s anything you’ve been putting off picking up, hopefully the sale helps take a little sting out of it.
Hope everyone has a great rest of the summer, and hopefully some cooler weather isn’t too far behind!

The code does not seem to be working
Whoops! Looks like the dates were wrong for the promotion. Fixed now - thanks for bringing that to my attention!
