I'm not a glass guy so I just assumed it was an industry term. I could be completely wrong here. Whatever it is inside the marble it does have the prismatic effect of an opal but putting real opal inside of molten glass would ruin the stone I think since they are sensitive to heat and easily crack/burn. I used to know an opal miner and he kept the stones wet until they were finished and they were quite soft and easy to damage. These came out of a mine in Arizona.

You're gonna love the taste! Make sure you watch this:
This process works flawlessly and I've never had a bad rip with it.

The Limited Edition is made of Vectra. That was one-time only, just for the Fanatics. As in @t-dub's post above, the color is a dark grey. There is also a nice very soft swirl effect. If you look very close at the pic you can see just a touch of it; the pic doesn't really show it well.
The standard EVO is black with a polished sheen, a bit of a matte finish but still smooth. It's not at all like shiny black plastic often seen in electronics. The material has a functional purpose (as a heat sink) in addition to the aesthetics.
I presume a few of the LE's have been sold for one reason or another, but probably no more: The LE has a lifetime warranty.

I own some Tiffany lamp reproductions. They call the oval marble-like glass globs on the lamps "opals", too. It must be "glass-speak"

...I recently picked up an evo and love the thing except for a few things...things that may be an issue,.. or not be anything but new owner paranoia.
...my knob seems loose..a little give all around..but a slight brush of the hand and it will move out of posistion...proboby nothin'.
...the power cord needs to be seated what seems deeep..like if I were to plug and unplug from the unit only occasionally,..it feels like it might do damage to the assembly...but then again,..the likelihood of me plugging/unplugging would be rare at best anyway.
...and the exposed joint...I have a worked dome on top of it to help make me aware of it but it's in no way protecting it....I think a black or green mini reversed heat resistant plunger head of sorts would not only finish it's unfinished look but protect that joint when not in use...or perhaps it could stay on with only the joint exposed so the ht has a soft waterproof landing each time it's applied and removed.
I'm in no way bashing the evo..I have an lsv,ssv and plenty gathering dust since it's arrival...it's just a couple observations...and an idea.
....I ran the idea by vapexhale...they said they'd run it by they're r&d team to see if would fit in the budget...
never know.

Just took the nail for her first drive. Really great product, design ect. Taste is sublime.
Curious how to best clean the nails? I have one soaking in iso but its not making much of a dent lol and that was after one session.
Definitely liking concentrates in the EVO.

What I've tried was heating up the nail in the evo and then carefully taking a poker tool and just slowly scrape off the resin on the sides and then let it cool off and rinse it with ISO.

Yeah when I am cleaning it I have it a little bit lower. 12 is fine.

I'm pretty sure they're real opals?
Dosa crushed opal + encased opal female bucket. Sorry for the terrible picture you csnt see the crushed opal stardust pull

What a full-temp burnoff doesn't get, I usually burn off with a torch just until the soot glows, then it disappears as it cools. I know this is supposed to be "torch-less" - sorry to be anti-climatic, but it works quite well for me

I was talking about the fanatic pieces, not what you have. There indeed might be opal strong enough to do this, I said I'm not a glass guy, but I do know some opals are very sensative to heat and can be ruined by it.

Whoa! I was thinking about trying this with my Quartz VapeXnails but never had the guts to try.What a full-temp burnoff doesn't get, I usually burn off with a torch just until the soot glows, then it disappears as it cools.

I have been using a metal scraper and stiff bristle brush on my glass nails while soaking in ISO, seems to work well enough for me; although I'm not going for perfect cleanliness.
I didn't even realize there would be different types of opal encasement - I'm just starting to become a glass guy, I don't know much yet... just starting to learn. Apologies for the misunderstanding.
I wish that bucket was mine- it's easily worth more than all the vaporizer gear and glass pieces that I own combined...

Just cranking the EVO knob all the way to the right, I let it go until it turns green, then wait until any whisps of vapor stop. No more than 5-6 minutes? This gets it 95% clean, but now it's hot - I have a test tube holder I use to take it out and sit until it cools, but sometimes I turn the EVO off and just let it cool down there while I wonder off.
I've used a torch to clean the glass vxnails and have managed to mangle one slightly - have to be careful not to overheat the glass! I imagine quartz would be much less worrisome!
I'll double-down on the "not going for perfect cleanliness", as the EVO burn-off seems to work most of the time. It's usually when I'm going for some Clear after shatter that I want to get it CLEAN!
BTW - is there any real difference in the quartz vxnails other than I won't melt them as easy?

Do a burn off of the nails in the unit on high. just let it sit in there for a few minutes until it is done making vapor. That usually gets rid of all of it. but then later when you manage to get that dark shit on there I use iso and scrape with a bamboo skewer and if this doesn't work I do the same thing with PBW. That shit works every time with a little elbow grease.

Yea...I have a bit of hesitation when I can't get stuff completely clean with iso BC I'm worried what didn't or doesn't want to come off then has iso residue... Which I would hope would just evaporate or burn off, but then what about residuals? Lol
Think I'll try and get a wire brush tomorrow.
Shatter out of the EVO is pretty much one hit quit strength, nice!
