Vapors (IPP36) by Derek Bosch / Two Brass Monkeys

Vapors is a non-cylindrical helical take apart puzzle that combines elements of a burr and a maze in a cylindrical contortion that will have you reaching for the smelling salts!  Vapors is a very popular high quality print puzzle exchanged at IPP 36 in Kyoto, Japan.

Steve writes: "The Vapors puzzle was my (Steve's) exchange puzzle at the Kyoto IPP. It is unusual in that it only has three pieces and is the only non-cylindrical Helical Puzzle so far.  It is also the highest level three piece Helical found so far.  Printing the pieces proved to be very difficult but the quality of plastic filaments and 3D printers has improved considerably over the years making a remake possible. It's slightly small size means that the solve is a little more fiddly than for other designs.  It has been printed by The Two Brass Monkeys in PLA."
