Good call I was going to say, those bowls and those measurements didn’t make a lot of sense to me off the rip (the crossing titanium bowl has a ~21.5mm main body outer diameter), but the RT is absolutely a nice get, enjoy!! 😊

So just for some clarity here, the steel sleeve solution (Heavy Eptiome) requires a steel baller to start, recommending the Epitome here as mentioned… that’s a Cloud Connoisseur product tho who ship from the US which might be a non starter reading above. The Binky, though, is truly fully DIY...

Thanks so much!! That’s the link indeed for the sleeve needed to heavy an Epitome. The selection I use is a 25x30x30 sleeve. The material is GCR15 Steel which expands a lot less than the epitome. That means you can fit the sleeve cold and it may even be very slightly loose - but as soon as the...

This is awesome!! I’m a huge fan of those 8wrap coils for wireless use too. Much cheaper than an armor coil and awesome for things less conducive to axial shaping (works great with epitome for example - thermocouple rests in a dramatically more appropriate spot for diffusers that sit...

this is so interesting to hear! I will definitely test mine on the 23mm titanium bowl once the USPS stops lovingly touring my parcel to each post office in the country. It seems to be having a nice voyage at least! P.S. I mentioned earlier about using those glass bowls with the Plus 2.0, and...

I just wanted to chime back in now that people have these in hand (mine’s still getting a scenic tour of basically the entire US courtesy of USPS). A friend reports a 260x3mm bag being a bit insufficient to fill one of these - but 350 is definitely higher than is realistic. The real number seems...

I have had to remove one of those glass bowls from my epitome with a “bit” of force (RIP $11)… however they seem not to stick in the Plus 2.0 for whatever reason! Good convection bowl for that head imo. Excited to try with the ceramic, they are what I had my eye on for this head so I’m glad to...

Echoing the above post regarding the 20vs25mm difference, 350 is about what it takes to fill an Epitome, another 25mm diffuser - I have also heard the ceramic walls on this unit are somewhat thin, potentially implying more interior space. I find that number very plausible but it might leave you...

That’s a nice application actually I hadn’t thought of it that way! May need to do more testing haha

Love the Ti mesh screen!!! I do the same! I have found balls at 2.5-4mm and gems all work quite well, might be down to preference at a point - there is plenty of thermal mass to crush whatever you toss its way regardless 😁

Fixing the image above which broke, comparing the two nozzle diameters! I seem to be out of my edit window timeframe; if any mod wants to merge these two posts, please ofc feel so free to do so, don’t mean to create clutter!

I can confirm the 53N87 12# 3/4" 19.0mm orifice TIG nozzle is a great choice for a 30mm “Binky” (Big Pinky). I recommend about 8wraps or ~32mm of vertical coil. This can be achieved with a dual-coil station (wireless and wired) if you can’t source a tall 30mm barrel coil. The screen retention is...

How do you like the plus 2.0? It’s entirely shelved most of my kit… crazy extractions!! Small potential tip, I replaced the machined bottom screen in mine with a 13/16” mesh screen and prefer the airflow character that way

Just put together most of my first Pinky! Just waiting on basket screens. I was pleasantly surprsied that a 22mm tall/6wrap 20mm barrel coil fit quite well with no stretching - with good contact on the coil tip, too for temp control! Really fun and simple concept. I am late to the party on a...

I like a lot about this device but I am shelving it until a better screen design comes along. It simply does not feel secure - and I even had a screen pop off during use after swapping rubies in. The device itself performs well but I can't *personally* recommend a baller with insecure balls...

yeah I was gonna chime in, I don't have a coil for it yet but the megacicle vapor (and all other trww quartz TEDS rly) is absurdly tasty and abundant. I can only imagine it improves further with a PID/coil which are now available (edit: not for the Mega [yet], but yes for the other stuff)...

I just got in the 16hole/'blaster pack' version! I will share my experiences here. Current daily drivers are the Stunner by MGVS and the megacicle, I am just now moving into more 'dekstop' class hardware in terms of space commitment, and liked the concept on this enough to give it a spin before...

sounds like OP should do this^ and ignore me 😆

yes, those are the coils I was suggesting - hard to tell without hands-on but I thought they might be able to create a sort of "heating shelf" that the air has to pass more directly through, compared to more 3-dimensional coils that allow for more omnidirectional turbulent airflow

What a neat project!! Full convection from air moving through the coils? I wonder if a flat SS clapton coil (AVS-style) might give extra surface area for heating that air... tend to be TCR-friendly too! Great work 😍
