    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.

    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...

    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...

    Anyone into concentrates here? I've been dropping money left and right with various e-rigs like the Puffco Proxy, DTV5 with a DNA mod, Evolv Cricket, Carta 2, Dr Dabber Switch, Puffco Pivot, iSpire's Induction Wand and V-Wand, etc..., trying to find the perfect solution. Well, I'm here to...

    The Tug 2.0 - best erig?

    IMO, the original Switch is better with the auto burn-off, but the cups are a tad small.

    EVOLV Cricket

    Welcome to the club! If your up for the maintenance, the Cricket will be a very nice unit. Tell us what you think when you first pick it up. lol. I was surprised the first time. I've managed to keep a lot of the mess down when I covered the 2 center intake holes on both sides. You may want...

    This is the answer. I love my Cricket, but I would never recommend it as a first device. The Puffco Pivot is perfect with its smaller bowl, MUCH easier cleanup, and dead simple operation.

    Wow. Just got the All Steel Top and XL heater cups for my V5 and I think this is close to perfect! The removable cap alone on the all steel top makes everything come together. With the XL Cup in place, the inner center of cap actually sits below the lip of the heater and keeps everything so...

    And a fine grind plate option!

    Those rings are a special high temp compound. Remember these orings must be able to take whatever heat setting the coil is set to, including a long duration heat soak. A normal black buna-n oring won't cut it. And trying to source high temp orings in small amounts from a manufacturer is $$$$.

    Did everyone who put in warranty requests for o-rings get theirs? I got my confirmation on the Sept 20th and radio silence. E-mailed them a couple of days ago and still nothing.

    Put in a pre-order for the ZX. Can't wait! I've been using a Screwball and a rigged up 14mm glass microdose bowl. Looking forward to see if the ZX hype is real! Anyone happen to know the wait times for the ZX preorder?

    Was just cleaning mine and I noticed the same thing! Back to glass for me.

    Completely understand. :lol: I use one of these and got just over 4 minutes last time I bothered to time it. I soak it in ISO to get rid of any lingering lubricants first, and now I just soak the whole lid in ISO as needed. Pretty decent tolerances too. Just a tiny bit more slop than the one it...

    Thumbs up for the Micro Hybrid Bowl! It rocks! I lowered my temps as it seems to be more efficient at extraction. Little bit harder to load with the smaller opening, but I just need to find the right scoop. This should be the default for set, with an optional full bowl!

    Awesome! Very much looking forward to it! I played around with the current grinder and machined a 22mm OD sleeve to fit two 10x15x3 bearings in the lid, and another 10mm OD sleeve to fit over the post. A single bearing showed similar rocking to the stock, but 2 bearings completely got rid of...

    If it's going to be bigger, might I humbly suggest 2 bearings in a thicker lid with a sufficiently lengthened post? It'll get rid of a lot of the rocking play from the single bearing setup.

    Anvil by Vestratto

    Got my Anvil today, and wow this thing hits like a truck! So happy I decided to splurge. And the best thing? I'm happy to announce that the Dr Dabber Switch works absolutely amazingly as an induction heater for the Anvil. The Anvil stands upright on its own in the Switch, and a cold start...

    The Screwball by Vapvana

    It looks good, but unfortunately, I'm finding the titanium bowl and aluminium ring (more so the aluminium) pulls too much heat out of the air stream. I have to run the Screwball hotter to get the same effects. I've gone back to using the 14 to 18mm glass adapter as a dosing cap holder for now...
