@herbivore21 Not quite sure if I'm on the same wagon, are you aware that the whiskey glass is a water filter? If you like the vapor going through glass and water only, you simply could get a glass tube with a bent and stick it in the lid. I actually have customers which did exactly that.
May be I misunderstand you as I am not familiar with all these water tools, myself I use the Element without water in the glass, the vapor is absolutely smooth and cool.
Temperature control is most simple and reliable on this unit as you actually feel and "see" the temperature.
This is the fun side of this vaporizer, you actually can observe the whole process and you see and feel long before when the temperature is getting too hot, all you have to do is switch down to the second level and the temperature will stay more or less on that level. You will never burn your botanicals because you are part of the process, it is all sensing, observing and no thinking at all. With this unit you don't set a temperature, you find the ideal temperature each and every time you are using this vape, our senses and eyes beat any electronics.

I did indeed notice that the included vapor chamber is also a small bubbler. However, I am someone who uses very high temps for hashes to medicate my insomnia (this would be my sole use, I have not been a flower user for a very long time). The larger hash hits I require for sleep necessitate more percolation, with water becoming a must have. I can dab without water, but I definitely can't vaporize hash in that way without coughing up a lung unfortunately lol
Add to this that I like many in large cities live in a small apartment and do not have space for more glass at my vaporization station. My glass is all very high quality unique worked and/or sandblasted glass too, which I really do like to use as they cost me a lot of money and not only provide elaborate and very satisfying percolation for my needs, but look fantastic too!
When I purchased a Sublimator in another life, I got the 'adapt-a-bong' model to allow me to use my existing glass for the same reasons. However, I believe that your design on the element stand and bowl, with the modifications I have mentioned above will actually provide a much better solution than the sublimator that is more stable and secure on top of the rig (due to the wonderful wooden stand, which with the adjustability I mentioned above provide the same stability and security to people to use with their own bubbler).
This modified Element design to me would represent perfection in terms of what I would like from a loose leaf/crude resin vaporizer.
As it currently stands, I really require to be able to avoid purchasing/owning additional glass and also any use of silicone rubbers/polymers of any kind in the vapor path.
By the way, how long does the Element take to heat up? My understanding is that halogen heat sources can be quite fast in heating up for this application which is quite an attractive feature!
I apologise in advance lol, I understand that my requests are quite particular, however I assure you that I am prepared to spend what it takes so that I do not need to compromise on my requirements
I am also very confident that a lot of other people here would prefer this adaptable model of the Element, which I believe could really attract a following around here and beyond
As it already stands though, I am sure plenty will love the Element as is too
I do really love the visual ability to see the vaporization take place as you describe, this is how my current flower vaporizer and d-nails operate too. It is indeed as you say, a very satisfying way to vaporize one's botanicals
I believe it would be simple enough to use a tripod/microphone stand-style adjustment mechanism to allow for this functionality.
