    Phase3 Vaporizers

    I went down the ball size and material trail with other ballers, but not with the ZX. The stock balls are good enough that addressing other management and performance approaches was quicker and easier.

    Hybrid Ball Vape: OHW, Screwball, or other?

    I like the Rouge Wax Works approach to hybrid heating, their 14 mm quartz cap is very efficient, inexpensive and the taste is not shabby.

    Phase3 Vaporizers

    I appreciate the one knob control, the little buttons on my other PIDs are just too small to meet my preferences. Performance wise, they all work.

    Phase3 Vaporizers

    Using a cheap Chinese caliper in the hands of a 74-year-old operator, it measured 14.27 mm.

    Phase3 Vaporizers

    I sat the new ZX bowl screen at its shallowest position, then added seven 4 mm quartz balls, and a cover screen. I am getting a slight but noticeable improvement in taste.

    Phase3 Vaporizers

    I have big hands, so a little extra handle length and girth is good. I cut an old whip to the desired length, split it lengthwise, and cord-wrapped it all together. For the stand, I used a 6" terracotta flower pot with a 24/40 lab glass extension secured to the bottom of the pot with epoxy. To...

    O rings

    One way is to measure and buy the size you need. That way, you don't end up with o-rings you don't need and may never use. That said, for a mixed assortment check Amazon. T1

    Solo 3 User : WOHW Ball Vape ?

    I run small loads (.03 g to .05 g) through all the ball vapes I have. Tolerance creep is the same as most vapes, if one doesn't load the bowl, one can't vape it.

    Joint addict hoping to make the switch! What should I get?

    I use The Rouge Wax Works 14 mm quartz and glass cap when looking for close to combustion hits but with better extraction at a lower PID controlled temperature. Price wise, it is within your target range.

    **Ball vape comparison megathread** Compare your balls.

    For big, strong rips one can't discount volume. I use a Cloud Connoisseur, Omega configured as a diffuser in that role. For flavor, the ZX is hard to beat. The base design, selection of the zircon material and precision manufacturing all come together to provide ample opportunities for tasty...

    VAS - a never-ending story?

    People should buy what they want and can afford. That way, VAS is irrelevant. On the other hand, perhaps I may have buried my head deep enough in the ABV not to care; either way, it's all good.

    VAS - a never-ending story?

    Cure, cure, we don't need no stinking cure.

    Vaporizer for a joint smoker?

    For efficient extraction at the edge of combustion, I grab The Rouge Wax Works 14 mm glass and quartz rig. It comes with a ball vape level of power, hybrid heating and it was relatively cheap. Downsides: it's a bit fragile in my hands, it's not as tasty as most of my ball vapes yet but that...

    What is your current average daily consumption?

    Normally, .055g, is a good daily dose. Unless it's a weekend, party time, or I am dialing in a major vape change.

    Phase3 Vaporizers

    Hey Fearless. Thanks for the catch, I messed up, my brain was thinking one thing and my fingers were going their own way. I should have said The Rouge Wax Works, 14 mm quartz cap is the one hit winner, instead of the Cloud Connoisseur. Capacity wise, the QC holds between .0253g and .0348g...

    Phase3 Vaporizers

    I use both the ZX and Omega, but neither of those is my choice for a one-hitter. My preferred small dosing range is (.030g to 0.055g) and usually tastes better in the ZX but is fine in the Omega with its glass bowl rigged as a diffuser. Both vapes can produce decent clouds, but capacity...

    Anyone able to still smoke and vape?

    My approach when I started vaping was to expand my consumption options, not to limit them. I never feel like I am missing out regardless of the form I choose. It's all good.

    **Ball vape comparison megathread** Compare your balls.

    As a small load taste fan, I can get tasty results across all my ball vapes. Using many of the usual dialing-in processes used with other vapes. These include selecting one's preferred supporting hardware, bud prep, use models, and the biggest variable of all, user assessment of what “better”...
