@NewVape710 Thanks again! Keep up the good work!
NewVape began life as a Orthopedic Job Shop specializing in spinal implants. AKA Custom Instruments
As a US manufacturer of implants the requirements are as follow.
Manufacturing Company must be ISO9001 certified
Manufacturing Company must aldo be ISO13485 certified
Each year a third party must come in and inspect all of our measuring tools. These 2 certificates cost between 5-10k per year to keep renewed. MRP/ERP software for document management and material certificates is also required. Thru out the year there will be internal and external audits ongoing. Once a year an inspector shows up and tries to find holes in your system. They always find something. Basically iso stands for international standards origination. This requires a company to have a complete documented quality system in place. The 9001 cert is general, and the 13485 is specific to medial device manufacturing. Companies in the USA are required to be registered with the FDA and practice the FDA's best manufacturing practices and guidelines.
For a device to be an approved medical device it must undergo 510k FDA testing. The 510k process typically cost a min of 100k and an engineering team a year to complete.
For the flowerpot to be a real medical device it would need to be 510K approved by the FDA and produced in a ISO13485 factory. I'm not convinced that it's worth it. I'm confident that the product as you know it would be quite different and more expensive. Having the ability to control the dose would certainly be a requirement. Think asthma inhaler. My guess is the Volcano is produced in a ISO 13485 factory but still lacks the FDA 510K clearance to be a real medical device.
Rest assured your Flowerpot is being produced in a medical factory under a comprehensive ISO quality system.

It really is incredible what a difference just one 5mm ruby sphere makes in the Vrod for dabs. Lower temps, bigger clouds!
I agree! If someone ever makes a glass Vrod cap that angled the holes to spin sapphires then take my money!

I'm sure it's been stated but I've been using my Shovelhead for a few months now, really great weed experiences with this bad boy.
But after 24 hours I think I'm glass bowlin it for now on!
I'm getting a lot of really great thick hits with just flower, tasty as shit ( if shit were doritos ).
For the same amount of herbs it's like I'm getting another hit or two and the whole experience is tastier.

Alright, I grabbed it from the mailbox almost an hour ago now. I guess chinese coils are a larger OD, so the coil cover doesnt quite work. Anyone else had this problem? Could someone link me a cheapish 20mm coil that works with the coil cover and is the 5 pin dnail style? Either way after fiddling and getting the one coil stuck/bent I gave up and just said fuck the cover for now. Grabbed a new coil and did a burnoff and put it on the showerhead. This thing is so much bigger than I had expected! Which is good because the amount of airflow is amazing.
Loaded up 2 maybe .15 or so packs of platinum cookies. Ripped them in 2 hits + a wispy one at 640. Think I figured out the airflow I like on the first one and the second one milked and cleared and damn!
Put maybe .05 or so in for a last hit and milked and cleared it in one hit. Second hit was beat (if you even wanna call it that). So tasty. I used to love snaps and this thing satisfies that urge. Super happy with my purchase. Gotta get a stand next. Or build one maybe if I can get a scrap piece of wood

I ran to home depot this morning, was gonna grab a scrap piece of wood and drill a hole for a SS pipe for a stand but when I got to the store I found they had basically screw in stands already there. Spent under 30$ and ended up with the smaller stand for like 8$ and the larger stand for like 22$. Using them together because I'm slightly paranoid about it falling off, and now if it falls off the one stand it still gets held by the other.
Small one is 1/2" close nipple & 1/2" floor flange. Black steel. It kinda screws into the excess on the bottom of the coil nut too, so it can be a really solid hookup of you do it right
Large one is 2" floor flange with 2" close nipple galvanized.
Both should be good to temps up to 392, then I guess the zinc peels off. Gonna get a high temp silicone hose to put on the ends next, but I hit the underside of my showerhead with my temp gun and at 650 the bottom side is barely 400 so I'm not worried about it for the time being
Still need help with a dnail 5 pin coil that will fit the coil cover though.

Haha I know I've been contemplating. I saw how NV made theirs and am thinking about getting a thin piece of wood, cutting it and screwing it at the corners around the coil as a handle. But for now, the silver part doesnt get hot so I've been grabbing by that/the cord and it's worked out well.
About the clear carb caps. I found a glass blowing outfit in California that uses schott glass ( very pure high quality) and they make a clear carb cap. Albeit with one hole. But they offer custom caps. I’ve been in contact and they will make it to custom measurements to fit the Vrod. Cost for 1 is $70. Which is yes a lot, maybe they would do a bulk order for cheaper if anyone is interested? I’m sure we could get them with two holes as well.
Just a thought. I’ve just been waiting to have a Vrod Sic dish in hand for the measurements.
Please let them know that if they work well NewVape would like to purchase them in bulk. Thanks for blazing the trail.

That price seems fair. To me, it seems rather important that the holes are fairly small. I drilled a 5/64” hole and it seemed to be perfect after I filed the angle on it. The VRod’s original hole might even be a little too wide (it looks like maybe 3/32”) if there were to be two holes. My guess is two holes at 12 and 6 o’clock angled opposite to direct air in a circular path is necessary to spin sapphire balls with ease.
I can get a decent spin with just my one smaller angled hole and the other plugged, fwiw.
+1 for the clear, glass carb cap!
Interesting about those ruby etc beads too, been seeing those all over IG. Some of the spinning functions ppl are getting are very fancy, but is it actually benefiting anything other than aesthetics?

I would be interested in a glass carb cap. Hopefully one that is slippery and spins easier than Ti on ti which is kind of grippy.
Just need someone to invent transparent titanium and my dreams of clear FP become a reality
@NewVape710 perhaps you’d like me to dm you the contact info? It just seems you guys may be able to better communicate the specs and tolerances required.

I used some dowel rod and paracord to make:
Picked up a Showerhead and Wrap Around during the 4/20 sale and have been loving it so far. It's definitely replaced my EVO as my daily driver.
I've kind of settled into around 737 uncapped on the SH for herb, and 666 capped on the WA for concentrates.
When I ordered, I ordered the SH as a starter kit, but the WA as a set. I also bought an extra coil so I wouldn't have to wait for a cool down to swap between heads. However, it slipped my mind that I needed an extra coil handle since the WA set did not come with one. Thought about buying another one from NV, but $40 was a little steep for me after just purchasing the whole kit.
Inspired by @invertedisdead and @WAM90 , I decided to fashion my own home made handle. I decided to use a dowel rod and some paracord.
I intended to take pictures of the whole process for others, but that never happened. I was just sort of doing a test run of the handle, and before I knew it, the handle was done and no pictures were taken! I wanted to smooth out the rough cut ends of the dowel rod before making the handle...but, you know what happened at this point.
I forget what size dowel rod I used, but holding a ruler up to it, it looks like 1/8". I cut 8 pieces of the dowel rod and wrapped them around the handle. I got 2 rubber bands to hold the rods in place. I then took my paracord, and using a set of needle nose pliers, pulled it down in between 2 rods. I pulled the cord down about 75% of the length of the rod, just to make sure it would be secure.
I then took the paracord and started wrapping it around the dowel rods, working my way down the handle. I put tons of effort into making sure my wrap was tight, my fingers were hurting by the end. I kept sliding my rubber bands down, and put a few on my wrapped section just to make sure everything was held in place.
When I got to the end of the handle, I wasn't sure exactly how to end it. I ended up just tucking the end of the paracord behind a rod, and then using some Gorilla Glue to fill around and lock everything in. Unfortunately I didn't look closely and used white Gorilla Glue instead of clear. Oh well. I might end up using a red sharpie to color it in some.
Anyways, here's the finished product:
Honestly, I prefer my home made handle over the purchased one from NV. It has a better feel in my hand due to the round nature of it, I prefer the grip of the paracord over the hemp fiber, I was able to make it a custom length (I went slightly longer than the stock handle), and it's lighter than the stock handle.
I use my SH more than the WA, so you can see my handle is on my SH! I just ordered a VRod, and this will be the handle that moves to it!
Still much prefer my handle to the NV one. Round makes all the difference. Now of course, if this coil ever dies ,I'll have to redo the handle on a new one. Hopefully that's a long time away!
Are you sure that the Highly Educated quartz carb caps don't fit?
Now that's exotic ... it reminds me of that 'transparent aluminum' in that star trek movie where they had to transport whales or some shit like that.
Maybe aliens have been in touch with Edwyn on the flower pot or through the flower pot.
That star trek material was my inspiration for googling, had no idea there was such a thing. I'm still not convinced I'm not being trolled

The images are broken for me, but that's such a better idea. Did you drill it out so the cord and stuff sat inside of the wood or did you just wrap the dowel rod to it with the paracord?
I feel like the flower pot should be what everyone who isn't sure vaporizing is for them vs combusting gets to prove that vaporizing is for everyone if done right

Well, I already received my FP SH and last night I tried it for the first time.
Remember I’m coming from an Arizer EQ V-Tower, so this is my initial thoughts about the experience with the FP:
Set the temperature to 650, which I thought is a nice temperature for extraction efficiency and taste. Put just enough flowers to cover the screen inthe bowl.First draw was slow and used the Carb Cap.
Wow! Huge rip, barely could keep it in my loungs for more than 3 seconds.Did a second draw and the flowers were cashed out, even turning a lottle to dark brown/black.
The flavour is way different to the EQ.Less “green”, I find a bit of more “metalic” taste, not bad, just different.
With two draws I could feel the effects clearly, nice high, just 3 or 4 minutes to get there.
Put some more herbs this time, and I was able to do 4 long draws and the herb was consistely brown, but still had something to extract.Big clouds, but not so intense as I was expecting....better clouds than with the V-Tower + the DDave Mod, but not an impressing difference, so I’m suspecting still have to improve my technique with the FP.
Refilled the bowl for a 3rd try and I was able to do just a couple of draws, then I was way relaxed and fell semi-sleep at the couch
Nice experience, the FP hits hard and I guess it can get you wherever you want to go with 3 or 4 rips, though i find the flavour “funny”, remember I’m coming from an V-Tower, so that’s my only reference.
Guess I have to play a little more with the temperatures and improve my draw technique to get better results.
I’m happy with the purchase, but I admit I was expecting something more spectacular after all I’ve read here.Guess it is just a matter of experimenting more and adapting, as I said, so, if you have any indications for tonight session with the FP, please enlight me
