Kinda hoping I didn't make the same mistake, hahaha. I ordered the showerhead as i am 100% flowers and have no access to concentrates really.

My order hasn't shipped out yet (ordered last Sunday night. Really hoping it ships Monday, but I'll check in with them if it doesn't). So, there's probably still time to e-mail and see about swapping it to the V-Rod, but I really don't think I'll need to. If the showerhead does flowers as good or better than the v-rod i'll probably be fine. Right? lol

Worst case I'll just order the v-rod attachment later once I find out I really love the flowerpot :)

Thank you, I'm really need to go through this thread but don't have enough time. Got confused because of website description and the Vrod being cheaper. I will try to reach out through email since it hasn't shipped yet. Thanks again.

Edit: @Papagiorgio I like the way you think.

I have a showerhead, but no VRod. I spent 6 years almost exclusively dabbing and recently switched back to flower because dabs became too intense.

Personally I have enough quartz that if I want a super tasty dab I'll throw a banger on and use that. (Quartz bangers are only a couple $ on DHgate). If I want a twax hit, the titanium is more that sufficient enough (already tried it a few times). For flower though, the showerhead having so much more titanium, I would assume it holds heat better so IMO would be better for flower off the bat. The showerhead has more airflow too, but when you cap it airflow doesnt matter. Capping has taken my flower hits to the next level though. I run my controller on 600 and cap for flower and get massive one hit flower pulls.

Bottom line, if you strictly use it for flower personally I wouldn't switch to the VRod. If the 25% of your dabs are going to be that important for you to hit them off something tastier - go VRod. But you didn't go "wrong" with the SH. You can always buy a vrod down the line and sell whichever you like least

I assume the difference in price is the difference in material costs

Ok this makes absolute since. Thank you for such a thorough reply. Im really all about the flowers of life but i do dab once in a while so I guess I wanted the best of both worlds if the Vrod handled flowers just as good or better, why not right? I wonder if the coupon will still work for me since I used it already lol.

Thanks for this! I felt fairly confident in the showerhead and I hate complicating things. Can't wait to try it out.

I'm with you on this, brother. I recently did try a Vrod and liked it quite a bit....but I'm mostly flower, have other devices for concentrates, and use my FP just for flower so SH is wonderful for me.

When NV lists coils with other connector/pin outs so I can use my existing controllers, I will probably get a Vrod just because it is such a boss, slick, integrated design. Its very cool looking IMO.

Certainly true in my case. I sold off my ShowerHead about a week after getting my VRod; and I use the FlowerPot mostly for flowers (70-20-10, 70% flower only, 20% concentrate only, 10% twax).
Click to expand...
I have noticed that following the thread, but that means like every 3-4 hits you would be changing your head out for the dab surface which is kinda ridiculous depending how often you toke, but one of them doesnt have access to concentrates, so by design the SH has the upper hand because of the amount of titanium and airflow. Not that the Vrod would be bad by any stretch, I think we all know the flowerpot delivers regardless of the head you put on.

I thought I read somewhere on this thread that inserts/dishes wouldn't work because they would be too thin and break? Is that true or was that old info regarding the 16mm version, because on my 20mm I feel like the dish area is fucking huge! Way big enough to stick a decent quartz insert in there

You will be good! I am 95% flower and I love the showerhead. A couple people in this forum have tried both and say the showerhead is the way to go for flower. A couple people will say the vrod is better for flower. At the end of the day they both kick ass. I think most people would just describe them as a little different to use.

Hmm, not sure that I follow you. Are you thinking that people change out their SiC/quartz dishes on the Vrod after every few hits? If so, I've never heard of anyone doing that.

The dishes stay remarkably clean if you just Qtip them out after every dab. Simple, takes just a second, and your dish is left super clean. Take a qtip dipped in distilled water to really clean any leftover up.

Once your dish is on the Vrod, I don't see it coming off unless you're in the mood to do a massive deep clean.

so by design the SH has the upper hand because of the amount of titanium and airflow. Not that the Vrod would be bad by any stretch, I think we all know the flowerpot delivers regardless of the head you put on.

Airflow is equal between the two, imo. The SH beats the Vrod in flower only performance in a very narrow set of criteria. If you're looking for a high temp, uncapped, free flowing hard and fast rip, the SH will excel there. Other than that, they're equal imo.

I thought I read somewhere on this thread that inserts/dishes wouldn't work because they would be too thin and break? Is that true or was that old info regarding the 16mm version, because on my 20mm I feel like the dish area is fucking huge! Way big enough to stick a decent quartz insert in there

The new dishes that fit the Vrod are 28mm diameter. Anything insert that you could fit in there would work.

It would be a heavy use day if I took more than 3 dabs off the VRod in a day; most of my concentrate use is with a Sai. So I could take the dish off and give it a cleaning before turning on the FP for the day... But that has not seemed necessary. A quick q-tip with distilled water after a dab, without removing it from the head, seems to keep the dish pretty clean.

I was thinking I could use the dish as an insert, not screw it down... But after some experience, I think thermal transfer really suffers if you don't use the nut, which is why people don't talk about doing it. Also, as I mentioned above, it's not really necessary.

I should be getting my SiC dish in the next day or two (obvi not today), I expect that will be even less prone to stains than the quartz.

Thank you! I even reached out to newvape and they confirmed I made the right choice for my needs :)

After checking on my order status through the week, I was surprised with a UPS notification that my package will be delivered tomorrow. Very, very excited.

Well, good folks...

Over the last few months, my main reason for sticking around and continuing to participate in this thread and this forum has been to continue telling everyone about what a marvelous vaporizer the FlowerPot is when used with glass bowls. However, over the last few weeks, more and more posts are being made by people who have discovered the same great things about glass bowls and their taste that I have, and they want to share the joy too. Many long-time respected members here are coming to the same conclusions that I reached months ago, when I started using glass star screen bowls and inverting my SH to fit larger diameter glass bowls not originally made for the NV system.

It looks like more and more glass bowl options are now becoming available for the FlowerPot, and more and more users are starting to catch on and post about them. For these reasons, and others, I have decided it is time to make my departure and spend my spare time on more valuable pursuits. It has been fun, but I think I've said enough at this point, and think it's just time to move on. Thank you all, it has been a good ride for the most part.

I'm off to bigger and better things, everyone be well and enjoy your vaporizers!

Chicken out... peace to you all. :)

so you were just here to spread the knowledge of the glass bowls? Well I dont like the glass bowls at all.. think there is no difference in taste and the ti ones newvape makes are much better than the glass ones because they fit perfectly. Anyways, hope you find something more valuable to do than talk about than glass bowls on FC. I don’t think you will have an issue finding more valuable ways to spend your time. Take it easy and best of luck on your next venture man. Please let me know what you end up doing because the glass bowls were really memorable. Will always remember you chicken.

I mean if I had both heads and dabbed 25% of the time I would be changing out the showerhead for the vrod every 4 hits. That's ridiculous, so obviously if you dab at all and plan on using the vrod and its dishes on a regular basis the SH will probably end up not being used anymore, even for flower just because of the hassle, and because the vrod still murders flower.

And regarding the insert @Stonocrates - so even though it's a huge surface, the lack of pressure on the insert makes the heat not transfer right? Damn. Luckily with VAS I'll probably end up with both Vrod and SH in my collection haha

I was pondering this some more, and I think when you use a quartz insert in a quartz banger, the banger walls are higher than the insert, so there is heat from most directions. With the VRod, the heat is mostly underneath and a little up the sides. Making sure there is close physical contact with the dish is needed to overcome this limitation. Also, without the nut, the dish rattles and spins and I'm not sure the carb cap isn't turning it, preventing the intake hole from moving across the oil.

I'm one of the people who feels like the VRod is not a downgrade for flower from the ShowerHead; I actually slightly prefer it. I would characterize my draw speed as slow-medium.
