You can buy it separately and save yourself the hassle. It's <a href="http://www.storz-bickel.com/shop_usd/index.php?ref=94&cat=c1&affiliate_banner_id=17" rel="nofollow">$120USD for the solid valve set</a> which is a lot, but like you noted it's a pretty sweet piece of engineering - and it works so damn well.

I already have a heat gun and turkey bags and I've been trying to reverse engineer the valve for weeks. It is a well designed piece. Anyone have any luck making a DIY solid valve?

I wanted it to be hands-free, so I took the hardware out of the plastic casing. That is a TOUGH casing. I had to use a dremel with a cutting disc bit to get through it, being careful not to cut through any of the internal wiring or hardware. I used a couple of L-brackets to mount it vertically to an 8"x8" square of plywood. I thought about trying to build the valve system from copper pipes and valves, and as much as I would have liked to do it from scratch, I think it just makes so much more sense to buy Storz & Bickel's hardware. You can use an oven bag from the grocery store held on with a silicone washer from the hardware store, but I think the OEM valve system is more or less indispensable.

In response on buying a cheaper vape? If you take the time to read reviews, most vaporizers suck!!!! unless its topline like volcanos Im buying everything tomorrow, even found a milwaukee variable heat gun on craigslist, and will post the results.

Many find the vapor bag and valve systems on cheaper vaporizers to be problematic. The homegrown Volcano gets you the fine functionality of the filling chamber / vapor bag setup without the expense of the OEM heat generator. With a little ingenuity and thoughtful use, these DIY volcanoes can be great. To each their own! Many find the vapor bag and valve systems on cheaper vaporizers to be problematic.

It took me several tries and returns to discover the Milwaukee model, and boy what a difference it made. I use a stand I made out of bent coathangers and it works great. I call it my Ghetto-cano! Even tho it cost $275! Better than $500+ Oh and good warning on the heat, just ask the carpet next to my coffee table! Great write-up.
