If she doesn't like the Hempwick wrap, go to Home Depot and in the electric department you will find heat shrink in many diameters. Put it on, hit it with a heat gun or lightly heat with a torch lighter and there you are....maybe??
P.S. shit, reading comprehension is in the toilet...I see that Edwyn already suggested heat shrink. Soooooory. :-)
@NewVape710 ,
@Justpassedu ,
@steama , et al - ok, did my first FP SH load last night. I have a 20 mm shower head with the non-breakable handle on an 18 mm male bowl and the SH cap. My cap is equipped with the threaded version of NV's wonderful scoop another one of which I use ALL the time.
I equipped my 20 mm head with an Auber 4-coil barrel coil. These are perhaps very similar to the ones NV is selling but with a bayonet XLR rather than screw down shell type connector and runs with the semi-defacto pin outs.
I fitted my coil closely to the head's body. I am a disciple of
@mutten840 and believe that he is entirely reight that the better/tighter mechanical contact between the coil and the nail the better the correlation between set point and dab surface (or in this case, shower head) temps. Just a bit of tweaking with some silicon jawed pliers. I also have the heat shield which I believe helps very much.
I installed my coil with the handle to the top and hence the TC to the bottom. Don't know if this is better than the opposite but I'm not worrying about it any longer.
I used a Ti screen set all the way down to the bottom of the bowl.
First load was about .15 g of fine ground and nicely dried flower and I ran at 630 F set point.
I think I completely drained this .15 g in three draws...two bong like draws of thick vapor and a clean up. AVB was PERFECTLY even and it hit like a 16 pound sledge.
I did notice that when I lifted the head off the bowl and stopped drawing that I had a bit of rebound from my piece. Its a 60 mm can type stemless by Custom Creations...decent piece, not high end but USA made and works well. I think I just need to work on my process a bit to take care of this...perhaps stop drawing with the head on and take it off after. If you don't know what I mean by rebound, when I stop drawing, water settles back down and drives air back up through the joint....that's why they made slide bowls for bongs, right?
I then did a bowl of about .07 g with wonderful results. Got two draws from it and again, great AVB.
I agree with others...and its not temp related...but the male, two ring, bowl does stick in my joints. I'm using a drop down just in case, but it sticks pretty much every time and its not heat driven expansion or reclaim gluing it in place.....its just the geometry of the Ti, I think. Perhaps use some tube lube?

Edwyn - do you see any problem with trying to use these types of products with your Ti...I shouldn't think so but perhaps you have some input??
I am VERY happy with my Shower Head.
Issues are minor...the previously mentioned joint sticking, rebound (which is really on me, I believe), and I agree that the SC cap is indeed too dang heavy and I would love to see one in Ti. Also, I'm going to Blue Locktite my handles (cap and bowl handles) because NV apparently machines their metal threads too dang well and smooth that the handles back out a bit. Little bit of blue and no worries.
I did NOT find a great deal of flavor in my one experience last night at 630 F. I am sure I can go down in temp and get better flavor but my exploration of this vape is just beginning.
Not sure I will ever dab off of the SH Ti surface, but its nice to have it there.
Edwyn - great product, mate. I will try to spread the word more when I get home. Sadly its an out of town funeral of a very close friend who suddenly passed at far too young of an age.
For those asking for a comparison to a Mighty....wrong vape to compare to, IMO. Mighty is a portable and they just fight in different weight classes. A better comparison is to the EVO and IMO the EVO is very close in vapor production and extraction efficiency plus its rather self-contained (that is, no external coils). I will not put the EVO down in comparison to the FP SH. I still LOVE my EVO. But I am also falling in love with my FP SH.
Just a side note...not sure I would ever use this thing for a light day time session but that's not me anyway. I have used cannabis for 50 years, on and off, but now medicate at night for pain and sedation. I like HIT ME IN THE FACE type vapes and the FP is indeed one of those.
Oh, also...I found the vapor to be very smooth and non-irritating to me through this not particularly sophisticated piece of glass.
Got to run, by the time I get home after the weekend, this thread will probably have advanced 20 pages!! LOL
Cheers
