They released the ceramic ones after people like me enquired about the vapor/smoke, whatever it was coming from the unit after using it. I was trying to use it with the armoured cap, but I didn't like the smell coming from it.Hey guys, I need help. What is the difference between the original black insert ( smth like plastic ) and the ceramic insert? Originally, I received 11.5 mm black plastic ones with the heater. I also bought 11.5 ceramic and 8.5 mm ceramic. I don't like them, they scratch colored dynavap caps and they hold the temperature for a long time, which makes it easier to combust if i dont make 1hit exctraction.
Apparently, the manufacturer currently provides 11.5 inserts for new heaters, but ceramic ones, why they changed material? For armored cap? I heard that the plastic insert melts with armored cap.
anyway, I wrote to Yllvape asking if they would make and sell me an 8.5mm insert BUT black "plastic" one because I want to insert the Dynavap deeper, but I don't like the ceramic ones. They agreed and i will order today.
What is your opinion about the plastic and ceramic insert? When u bought the heater which insert was included in the set? black material or ceramic? Greetings and all the best in the new year, sorry for my bad english.

Spoke to Mike, he was really pleasant and said that they hadn't had any other reports of it, but that they were already working on an alternative insert.... Fair enough.
He also offered to send me the new inserts once they were ready. They ended up taking too long for me and I sent it back to my shop (which I hate doing) for a refund.
I did send a video of what was happening every time I used it.
I thought it might be burn offs which would be fine a handful of times. But still doing it days after buying it put me off using it.
They're bringing out a bigger one for BFG called the 'flare' this year.
