I believe that it's a Crossing Tech micro controller. I doubt that it has been setup with an offset. It's a common controller that a lot of sellers use and peeps seem to like it.

I bet you can dive into the service menu and reset that offset to 0. Just gotta figure out how to access the menu!

If that's coming from a coffee snob, we'll have to assume that they're referring to a light roast, tho... :D

Just got some weights! I picked a random head from the graveyard to fill with the balls/gems. The "Ball chamber weight" is just the filler, the head itself has been zero'd out. These are all ruby/corundum, including the gems. Individual ball/gem weight 2.5mm gem: 0.017g 2.0mm ball: 0.019g...

lol! I converted Cole, the Solid State Concepts dude, to ball vapes by giving him a b0 and a b1. I suggested that he start at 600F and adjust from there... before I knew that he was using a DC controller. His first ball vape experience was to combust. :D

The DC controllers don't actually run at a lower temp, they are programmed with a default offset (likely just a simple menu setting) to more accurately reflect the dabbing surface in a banger, which will obviously be lower than the coil temp. I believe that offset is ~ 100 degrees fahrenheit, so...

I'll get a weight measurement tonight of a chamber filled with 2mm and 3mm balls and 2.5mm roundcut ruby gems (if my stoner brain can remember... it's so far away!). 'Wish I had 1.5mm balls - I actually purchased some last year but never bothered to check them until recently, only to find that...

The total mass difference in the chamber when switching from 4mm to 3mmm to 2mm balls is not all that significant (maybe 3% between the 2mm and 3mm balls) and most heads on the market have more thermal mass than the vast majority of users will ever burn through in a session. What makes the...

I love the performance of the wood bowls, but I just can't use them; the oils kill my throat. It took me the longest time to chase that down to the bowls. I initially thought I just had some harsh weed. Cocobolo and Pau Ferro were the worst for me. Walnut *might* be OK, but I'm too paranoid now...

I got distracted with an earlier Steamroller build this weekend. This one had been retired to the graveyard due to a couple of flaws in the diffuser design that keep it from getting a 100% seal. I'd pulled it from the graveyard to use as a tetherless head where one of those flaws was not an...

That's one advantage to the bowl walls being so thin - they get heat saturated VERY quickly; kinda like the s&b capsules that are too hot to touch half a second after you drop them into the hot chamber. A heat soak can still be beneficial, but it really only takes like 10 to 15 seconds.

I'm playing around with the screen position in the bowl tonight. This is 0.3g at 435°F in the second from the bottom position, which holds 0.3g comfortably.

That stuck Steamroller cap is no match for my wrenches! :D This is one of two caps that I'm currently playing with; the other has all of the holes drilled out. I started pilot holes for all of the holes so that I can easily drill them out to test different draw restriction levels. I did these...

Good point - I forgot about the DiY section.

This is my first cut at the full-up Steamroller based on testing that I've been doing with the Steam Engine. Like the SE, it's an 18.5mm diffuser ball vape that uses a 20mm coil. The coil extends partially down over the bowl to add some conduction. I totally fubar'd the threads for the cap on...

Ball vape flower dab chased by a gavel crystal dab: That put me to sleep! :D

Both the @JCat FC-eNail and the MaxVapor controller have coil/head/banger profiles. They both also have web interfaces. Here's a video I recorded last night with the latest version of my SteamRoller head that shows the FC-eNail interface running on my phone: I'm still tuning the Steamroller...

I don't believe that most of the people reporting 800+ temps with the baller heads are actually running at 800+ temps unless they didn't stretch their coils prior to installation in which case the coil's just bleeding off heat and not fully transferring it to the titanium body. I suspect that...

That won't work. You need a controller that is specifically designed to work with the coil-style heaters. Even then, the 60 watts put out by that vvps is not nearly enough to get the coil hot.

@Vision103 It's the manner in which you present your case. The only first-hand experience that you have is apparently with being blocked. You say that it was just a simple question, but look at how people are reacting to your post here, a post that you probably consider to be simple information...
