    I would like to think that anyone ordering a first run pre-order of a product will be fine with some delays and issues to be worked out! I just received #002 and it looks fantastic! I do see some slight issues with the cap to be sorted, so I'll leave the full review for later, but it's looking...

    Awesome! And also damn it. I really don't need to be spending more money. lol For a wireless ZX, or a ZX wireless sleeve, I'd be very happy with enough mass for a single pull that would clear a ZX bowl. I just want the wire gone for convenience really. I don't mind the recharge process or...

    I have not heard of the Hornet before. Nice! Does the narrow end fit into a 14mm female socket at all? Must learn and aquire!! Of course nothing will beat an attached coil, but that's really only because of the loose fit all solutions today use. I'd love to see the current design of coils...

    Because the ZX is tiny and the dimensions look pretty straightforward (no crazy curves, etc...), I'm wondering if a simple machined stainless steel sleeve would work. It can be machined simply (it's just a cone cut into a cylinder!) that fits over the ZX and has an OD of 20mm for a hot coil. It...

    Personally, I'd love to have a wireless ZX. Small narrow bore one hit wonder injector but with more mass designed for wireless use.

    Arizer XQ2

    Pack it down so it stays put. This loose pack should come in under .1g with a medium grind and hydrated bud: The rest is up to you. You can pull directly from a whip, run it through a bubbler, put a mouthpiece on and pull directly, or even put on an 18mm hydrotube. Here's a sample...

    Arizer XQ2

    Combine: Move the grommet up or down to get the end of the WPA a few mm away from the screen when inserted. When on the XQ2, my basket screen is maybe 5mm from the heater : Inhale from the WPA joint end to load your bowl. Make absolutely sure the basket screen is in...

    Arizer XQ2

    Sorry, long multipart post due to media limits. Hope this is okay! So, a little baked and randomly browsing around, I ran into this thread and just had to dust off my XQ2! I think the whole line of Arizer desktops have been overlooked (rightfully so in stock form), and Arizer could...

    Phase3 Vaporizers

    Anyone else enjoying straight old school hash with the ZX? I'm finding the restricted airflow works really well! I have an old acrylic S&B grinder with pointy teeth that works amazingly well at grinding all types of soft hash. It comes out as millimetre bits, and a .1g load on vape cotton at...

    Forgot to add that if you tend to be heavy handed at brushing and tend to push out the screen when cleaning your bowl, use 2 screens. Those indents for the screens are a lot more secure when you have 2 screens in there. No real change to airflow either.

    I change screens all the time and that's the biggest annoyance. You can get around it by: - Take the screen out and clean your bowl - Take the time to put a screen in the position you want - Find a 12mm dowel, drill bit, or anything that fits well into the bowl. - Push the dowel into the...

    I thought about filling the injector nozzle with rubies, but since the coil doesn't go that low, I figured it wouldn't be worth the trouble. Might have to give it a try, thanks! I did fill the ZX with a 5mm layer of gem cut rubies, then an extra screen and the rest of it with 3mm balls. This...

    Couple weeks in and the ZX is still my favorite. Still using with an Auber controller, but have refined the correction factor to 1.45 with the coil it came with. Brought out the Epitome, Screwball, and Omega for some comparisons and the ZX is always the one left plugged. In it's stock form...

    Phase3 Vaporizers

    Received my ZX yesterday and I was quite surprised at the size of the thing. Much smaller than I'd thought, with very little excess material in both the bowl and head. These things are beautiful, and the Zirconia really kicks it up a notch in looks. I haven't used an injector in a while...

    How is it tied to USD? I ordered one and I only dealt with AUD, and my bank did the conversion from 355 AUD to CAD. Taxes is a requirement. You locals pay at the checkout (baked in or not, someone pays), we foreigners pay via import tax through customs. If he puts the final price after...

    Ordered!! The dual bearings look like they turned out well! Any chance you would be able to send me a solid lid without magnets instead? I'd much prefer the heft, and it might end up being a bit less work on your tools. Perhaps make it an option after a few trials? I didn't hear mention...

    That cap sensor is finnicky for me too. I just turn off the cap sensor and pulse to pre-melt. If you want to keep using it, I find it seems to register much better in a specific cap orientation.

    The Screwball by Vapvana

    Just remember that the coil temp doesn't equal the temp the material sees. Start with a low temp, and work up until you get what you want. I tried working down from a high heat but my throat paid the price. :lol: It's does take a bit longer to dial in any ball vape. Anytime you set a new...

    The Screwball by Vapvana

    Unfortunately, I've given up on the pinch hitter as of last night. I got new o-rings after mine bled green, and the new ones bled even worse. The new o-rings also caused the 14mm glass to get stuck, and now it's in pieces. I'm back to my own glass bowl. Those new bowls are junk. They should...
