Awesome, that's a lot of goodies!
I think you'll love it for microdosing, many people use the FP specifically for that, and it absolutely kills! Let us know what you think of the glass bowls when you get it. I went with the SH as well. I'm not certain which carb cap you mean, I didn't realize there was an $8 option, which probably would've caught my attention (maybe it's better I missed it and got the showercap
). As for the auber controller, my memory insists that it's a 1 year warranty on the controller. Coils don't usually come with a warranty (newvape coils do for 30 days but that's only enough time to reveal manufacturing defects), although their website page for the RDK-300 says that in cases of overheated/burnt-out coils, they offer a discount.

I doubt controller warranty's are transferable but perhaps someone more knowledgeable will step in and correct me!
I recommend having a look at around pg 250-280, which should skip over some unfortunate history (best left buried). If you start at page 300 and work your way to here, that ought to keep you busy until your package arrives and should cover most of the relevant info. I'm going back from the start and am trying to find where the SH was first released/announced. It's crazy seeing everyone show off their wraparounds w/ exposed coils, oblivious to the new product lines that we've all come to love. Just makes you realize that even when the FP was in its infancy, it was still a kick-ass piece of kit

As I understand it, the biggest killers would be either: set temp ridiculously high and leave it there for an extended period of time (people leave them at normal-use temps for multiple days at a time or most of the day, and don't seem to have problems), or: rapid power-cycling, letting the coil heat up then shut it off, let it cool, then heat it up again. Generally, electronics hate this and consider this a breach of contract whereupon they will cease doing their jobs and refuse to enter into negotiations. All jokes aside, this is a fantastic way to kill your coils. If you've ever used old school audio equipment, or even a desktop computer or a lightbulb, this is probably not a foreign concept to you. From what I gather, coils will last awhile if you turn them on, leave them on for a little while while they're used, and leave them alone for a good while after you turn them off. It's not gonna kill them if you shut it off, realize you wanna get higher and turn it back on in 15 minutes, but it would be better for longevity if you just left it on during that time and shut it off when you're done.
All that aside, it's fairly likely that you'll need a new coil every few years; they seem to last a year or two at best, depending on use. Some people have had their coils last much longer. Electronics are funny. I suggest you find a good coil that fits your auber that costs ~$25-50 (shouldn't be hard, after all that's why we went with the auber over the NV controller, right? at least for me that was the selling point), and buy a few, just like you would with any other replaceable item such as downstems, glass bowls, screens, etc. I'm curious if 710coils offers any options that fit the SH. They seem to have two likely candidates - a four-wrap and a six-wrap, both 20mm and rated for 150w. For some reason the 6-wrap is cheaper, but I think it's too tall for this use case.

Nice! That sounds awesome. In retrospect, I almost wish I had gone with the VROD, I bet the reverse head would have fit the auber coil and I think it's awesome that you can swap out the coil nut for the weedeater and have the best of both worlds. Those terp pearls look pretty awesome as well. Dabs come around my area about as often as lightning strikes the same spot twice, but I definitely appreciate the versatility of the VROD. I also like how much tighter the tolerances are, it seems like a very refined and efficient unit. Sounds like you'll be all set for whatever comes your way, haha.
I think I'll survive the wait! My first FP purchase over a couple years ago was right in the middle of a huge hurricane that was ravaging their area. They knocked it out of the park then, and they'll do so again! Looking forward to my improved flowerpot
Also told a couple of the better smoke shops in Vegas to get with NewVape. Everyone down here enamored with their Peak, even as a home rig. They don't know what they're missing!
) the 14 & 18mm ti joints &.shovelhead for $56 & didn't even research the Auber PID & coil upgrade.
But this vape has had me intrigued, then 
for a while. So here I am.
But it is an option. Although I will probably go 
yet. I don't even know yet if you can turn the controller down like the enano & let it run over 4 hours or better to turn it off & on again 2 hours later. I want whatever controller is better to work with & has a lesser failure rate.
