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

[TigoleBitties]

clear but then here in EU I really don't understand where else I could look to get a ball vape not necessarily wireless but still better than my tiodw without spending €400 or more

It's not your traditional modern ball vape but the baller modifications to the popular DaBuddha and SSV vapes are ball vapes in their own right. I got one myself and it's the heaviest hitter in my collection. The ceramic heater is surrounded by around 300+ rubies.

Da Buddha

w00t!

I don't really understand what you want to be better; what do you not like about the tidow? Here are some suggestions: Rubilyzer (RubyTwist) at lacentralvapeur for 215€ and Thermalyzer (Thermal Twist) for 179€. They also have a rebranded WOHH for 379€. For germany it's verdampftnochmal only so far (?), but they should get the ThermalTwist back soon for 219€. And I'm pretty sure there is more to find, espacially in France and Spain. But my french sucks and my spanish is nonexistend.

 

[Eloh]

there is the graveda epic ballvape now, wich seems to have a good wireless stand. price is ok, too

 

[vapereyez]

Has anyone tried using the Vapvana Ace with an aftermarket coil like say the one Vgoodies sells? I want one but I dislike the idea of proprietary stuff whether it's guaranteed for life or not. If I don't buy the bundle I could afford the more useful stuff like the better bowls

 

[coolbreeze]

Here's a steal: O'Connell's got a half-dozen SKO kits (body, balls, coil, bowl, stand, and funnel) for $80 each.

I have an SKO and I can recommend it highly. Really a great 14mm injector vape and an amazing bargain.

Is there a big difference between zx and a B1 with glass bowl (with heatsoak) for taste and density of the clouds ?

In my experience and opinion, there is a considerable difference between any CH product with heat-soaked glass bowl and the ZX. Flavour/taste is a massive difference. I’m not sure how to measure density of clouds since both devices can produce copious amounts of vapor? If you’re asking if ZX can hang with B1’s production, that’s a big fucking yes. And you don’t have to heat soak the bowl or do a slow draw, the ZX is the ONE if you’re looking for the purest equivalent of a one-hit bong rip.

We’re not supposed to do direct comparisons in a product thread, since it can cause derailing, but there’s your answer.

Thanks for your reply. I asked the question because I don't want to spend a lot of money to have more or less the same coil vape.
Taste have just a different signature or is really better ?

 

[pxl_jockey]

Taste is much better, the ZX has no “signature”! If you want to really taste your flower, zirconia ceramic is neutral like glass. Titanium is metal, a CH device was my first coil vape, back when they were New Vape and I had a few iterations of their heaters. The ZX is a better option and an upgrade in my ever so humble opinion, so I’d just start there if I were you.

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” means between individuals.

The B1 (injector version) was my first enail-powered ball vape. I was pretty unimpressed with it to be honest. I found it took a strong pull to get vapor flowing and never had brought out much flavor. I have a dozen or so other ball vapes now, I can identify problems with the housing design by comparison.

The ZX is a lot more like the B0, but even more refined in its design. It especially doesn't waste heat anywhere but on the thermal battery (the rubies/sapphires). I also think the 14mm size is about perfect for injectors.

The ZX is not my favorite ball vape, but I can definitely see why it is the favorite of a lot of folks. It kicks ass and is in the top tier of ball vapes.

That being said, if you like your B1 and it works for you, I would say no need to upgrade. It's still a ball vape at its core.

What IS your favorite ball vape?

What IS your favorite ball vape?

It depends on the day, and what you count as a ball vape. But usually the CC Omega. It's very versatile with different modules and it's wireless. It pulls a ton of vapor effortlessly and it works with virtually any amount of flower. I tend to prefer diffusers over injectors for these types of vapes but it's nice do have options. The 14mm module works nicely with the TA bowl as unique experience, for example.

I won an FK in the Ed's raffle last year and I really enjoyed it too. It's injector is unique in my experience and nice with the right bowl. I don't think I would pay full retail for it but it is good. I mention it only because it's the wired vape I used most recently.

If I can give you one piece of advice it's to buy a ZX.
You absolutely won't regret it!
It's much better than a B1.
I have recommended the ZX to at least 4 or 5 people since 2023.
And the irony is that these people vape with a B1 injector. Because in my country CH vapes are easily available and quite popular.
They all sold their B1 shortly after receiving their ZX.

And if you've been considering buying the ZX head separately, grab the Zbol with it.
It's essential for me.
I use my ZX with several types of 14mm injector bowls.
A ss SKO bowl, a titanium bowl from B2cvape, two wooden bowls, one made by OWW and the other by defreez.
I also have several glass bowls.
All these bowls work very well with the ZX, but I use my ZX 95% of the time with the Zbol
It's simply much better and so good.

The ZX setup has been my home daily for roughly a year. I do mess around with other devices, but it's only like a sesh or two. Last home daily was a baller LSV and a HiLighter. The ZX is the sweetest setup I've ever found, bar none.

Dude, I am so sorry! I didn’t realise what thread I was in so this is the right thread for your questions. My bad, carry on!

I moved it here from the ZX thread, so you are ok

I don't like the B1 injector too. Need too long draw. I use the B1 22mm with glass bowl and 3mm balls that is for me a good compromise between injector and non-injector with the Ti bowl. Just need a good heat-soak.

 

[raisin]

At this point I'm just waiting for the ZXXL to come back in stock for pre-order. Kicking myself I didn't get it back when I had an opportunity. For now, loving my ace now that I got Vapvana's titanium hybrid bowl, was not a fan of the ace glass bowl. Only other desktop ball vape I've tried/own is the CH moab kit (mercury + shovelhead). Generally prefer the ace over that, but sometimes I feel like it comes down to the flower material.

Thanks for the tip. I really like the SKO.

Hi! I have been loving my tempest, and have also been wanting to explore more of a conduction or hybrid device since I came from dynavaps. I have read that between the stunner, tempest, and TA that the TA might have the most hybrid signature. However I have am not familiar with the anvil, tornado, or fusion. Can anyone offer some input on the vape signatures of these and perhaps some opinions on if i should be considering the tornado or fusion alongside the TA? The vapman is also in consideration but i am more of an ih person than a torch person. i realize that a torch is currently the best way to heat a TA but I'm also considering higher powered IHs as they become available. Certainly if there is a best IH for your recommendation I would love to hear it! I would consider picking up an inductor.

for me Flare from BFG works well for Ta4, Anvill and Fusion

BFG Flare works well for me too with the ones you mentioned above plus the Tornado.

 

[Fearless Disaster]

thank you! it seems like when they figure out tempest support this could be the only ih i need!

 

[stonedBBer]

If one owns a screwball puf and an ace heating station what additional 25mm ball vapes would yall reccomend. Not looking to try 22mm or get any new pids/coil setups
