We're building this in the open. Here's what's live, what's in progress, and what's coming next. Have a suggestion? Let us know.
Opening limited compendium brand partnership spots for established manufacturers. Brand partner presence is restricted to device-specific compendium pages — never reviews. All brand partnerships are disclosed.
Devices and accessories donated by manufacturers and trusted artisans for review will be given away to the community after reviews are published. More on how this works as we launch our next round.
Search the compendium by materials and features, not just device names. Type "quartz" and find every vaporizer that uses quartz components; type "induction" and find every induction-heated device.
We're continuously processing the community archive to add more device articles. Coverage is prioritized by community discussion volume — the most-discussed devices come first.
A new transparency page explaining exactly how AI was used to bootstrap the compendium — and where the work stops being AI-assisted. Linked from every site footer. Includes our removal policy for original FC forum contributors who'd prefer specific content not be used.
Every compendium article footer now lists its source threads (with Wayback links back to the original forum discussion), a date-range citation, an AI-assisted-synthesis disclosure, a takedown contact, and — when applicable — a credit strip naming the community members whose approved edits have improved the article.
Four short walkthroughs covering the community-contribution flows: editing an article, submitting a user review, suggesting a new device, and getting listed as a trusted artisan. Watch them here.
Anyone can submit their own review of a vape through the Reviews page. Approved reviews land in the new Community Reviews section, where each contributor gets their own tab on the device's review page — alongside, not instead of, our panel reviews.
A complete community-edit loop. Click Suggest an Edit on any compendium article and the body becomes editable in place — text and photos. Articles flag where community help is needed; submissions land in a moderation queue, and approved edits (including user-submitted device images) go live within minutes.
We've started highlighting valuable community members — Discord or wiki contributions — in our newsletter. Sign up for the newsletter to see who's getting spotlit.
The full Round Table Reviews archive has moved from Muddy River Workshop to its permanent home here at theroundtable.wiki, with a full panel index and individual review pages.
Filter compendium articles by device type — Desktop, Portable (Battery), and Portable (Torch/Butane) — so you can browse by how you like to vape.
The Round Table newsletter via Beehiiv — new reviews, compendium updates, and community news delivered to your inbox.
A curated directory of cottage vendors, makers, and small-batch craftspeople vetted by the community.
Unsponsored panel reviews from The Round Table crew. Five reviewers, one vaporizer, two weeks each — then we compare notes.
Hundred-plus articles covering the most-discussed dry herb vaporizers, synthesized from fifteen years of archived community knowledge. Searchable, filterable by device type, and growing continuously.
This is a community project. If there's something you'd like to see — a device we're missing, a feature that would help, or feedback on what's already here — drop it in the box. We read every one; good ideas land on the roadmap above.
