... and me! LOL!!!Initially worded it confused me, then I confused others, and then the wording for the sale was cleaned up for dummies like me!
Bought a weed eater head and a DCup, flat coil, DCup accessories, a double enail controller. I am pretty much a completist. I think I literally have one of almost everything. I currently have 2 VRods. One in the garage and one in the house. I have the battery and chassis Hooked to the one in garage. I am addicted to New Vape.
Thank you for your answers @VaporWare.
I get along witb degummed hemp as well as I get along with scotch tape. But it is an option. Although I will probably go @Baron23's route & go screenless. But as I'd like to have the screen option, I need to know if the ti are the screens to buy or if there are others that are preferable.
You're right. I said FP, but didn't specify SH. I just assumed you'd know. I will find out from @NewVape710 if the basic carb cap will fit the SH well enough for light, infrequent dabbing. If not, I'll stick with the dedicated cap.
I won't be changing temps frequently, but if during all of my 4 hits , the FP lends itself to stepping up I might possiby change the temp 2-3 times during those hits. yet. I don't even know yet if you can turn the controller down like the enano & let it run over 4 hours or better to turn it off & on again 2 hours later. I want whatever controller is better to work with & has a lesser failure rate.
@NewVape710, how long is the Auber warranty? And are controller warranties transferrable?
Since this thread started 11/16, any suggestions as to what point I should jump in & starting reading this thread?
We microdosers never do anything crazy.
With auber and the 20mm coil, whats the best way to preserve coil life and when do you know it needs changing
Correct. If you already have a Vrod, all you need is the Weedeater Nut and you're good to go!
The nut screws onto the bottom/diffuser of the vrod, and voila!
Me too, whoa NV... I wasn’t ready for this! I’d mentally prepared for 3 weeks! LOL! Sike! I’ll be ready! LOL!MY original coil is about a year and half old now.
Also, keep your eye out on that Newvape false advertising...1 to 3 weeks for delivery??? Got my shipping notification last night!!

I'm a big fan of the carb caps...for flower. The basics of physics, specifically boiling point depression with lower temps, is still in effect.
As for the glass bowls...yes, I liked them and have a couple but have gone back to the Ti adjustabowl. I am NOT a microdoser and really look to knock myself out in the evening/night for pain and sedation. The glass bowls worked well....had to crank the temp up just a bit I believe....but they are nice if glass in the path is important to you. They do let more scooby snacks into your rig then the Ti bowls with a screen, but the things need to be cleaned anyway, right?
I have never put a screen in my glass bowls...seemed counter productive to go to glass and then add metal. I'm sure it will work fine and once you get your bowls, measure the inside diameter and there are tons of screens out there for little to more (think Ti double weave) money.
I do not do fancy things with PID controllers. I just want steady stable temp...that's its main purpose and if a PID does that, I'm happy. So, in this case no...I don't think the Auber will get you anything functionally over the NV controller (which is really now the Dabpress controller that they are reselling). TBH, one of the best controllers I have seen is an Omron E5CC based box. You get the Omron sub-assembly, a solid state relay, a power interface and power button, and that's about it for the guts of it. @710Coils helped me fix up a chinese box that had this great Omron assembly and then they screwed everything else up (I have no idea how Greenlight could mess it up this way).
So, go with either, IMO. NV stuff is fine with me....as long as it uses the semi-de facto standard full size XLR and pin outs on the box and the coil....which I believe that they do now.
I only consume 2 grams ROSIN per week so maybe l don’t qualify to make a comment?Can't believe I screwed this up in my last post...it SHOULD read:

Every day my friend. Mi casa su casa!When's the next party?
I must say... im impressed with your collection. Glad you're enjoying the products!
Well, in 1-3 weeks I'll have my FP. I went with 14 & 18mm glass bowls, the NV PID, coil with handle, the safety stand with debowler, carb cap, reg. screens pack & the ss loading tool. $300 + ship, not bad.
I'm partial to glass, so went with the g. bowls, & it didn't hurt that they are @Baron23 approved.
Since this was not a financially prudent purchase at this time, I forgoed (no such word, but there should be. ) the 14 & 18mm ti joints &.shovelhead for $56 & didn't even research the Auber PID & coil upgrade.
I think I'm gonna love it, but as a microdoser, don't know if it will be overkill, especially since I have 7 other vapes. Like how many does a microdoser really need to accomplish the deed. But this vape has had me intrigued, then for a while. So here I am.
I do have 4 questions in case I want to make a change before shipping:
Thank you in advance. Now I'm gonna start reading through the thread before delivery.
- I never used screens in my fixed glass stems, but I see some do in the g. bowls. Are they using the NV standard ti screens or some other? And if NV, do the screens have to be cut to fit?
- Being a microdoser who inhales for 10 - 15 sec. at best, I'm not sure that a carb cap is nec. And, to date, I've never dabbed, & when I do, it will only be rosin on occasion. supershredderdan got his initial setup 2nd-hand w/o a cap & his 4 flower hits went fine. With my short draws, it seems like as soon as I put it on I'll be removing it. This all said, can I get away with the basic $8 carb csp on the site for my needs instead of the $40 FP cap?
- Apart from auto shutoff, what benefit, if any, would the Auber provide over the NV for my usage stlye?
- I've looked all over the site & can't find the warranty length for either controller. And is the warranty transferable should this not work out?
Asking here since I'm sure other people are interested.
In my NV account, I see "Stored Payment Methods" and also "My Payment Data".
I don't remember clicking "save information" at checkout, and "Stored Payment Methods" didn't have any info, but my card and address seemed to be saved in "My Payment Data".
I deleted this, but can someone from NV chime in and confirm that my card information is no longer stored on their servers?
I'll pm Stu next week & make a case, or at least try to. Promise.I started from the beginning and went through it all...if you decide to, consider suggesting the best posts for a new Best Of thread!

Can you, please explain this in laymen's terms - without the physics - cause it's over my head. 8th grade level presentation for me please.
Wouldn't a looser weave be more desirable because the double weave along with the fixed screen would, I would think, create too much draw resistance. Wouldn't you think so? And, do you really need that tight a weave if you already have the fixed screen protection?
@NewVape710 if the basic carb cap will fit the SH well enough for light, infrequent dabbing.
IMO Here' my list of flowerpot variables for newbies.
1) temp and heat soak time (wait 1 min after the enail hits the desired programmed temp)
Carp Cap - I dont use it but when were at shows i have one with me for every person. It helps me adjust the FP to their draw.
@Summer i'd like to take a stab at responding to your questions.
carb caps
I (old lungs) don't like using the carb caps when I'm at home with my own dialed in vaping station. Yes many will say that i'm wasting product. I don't like coughing so I prefer to keep my dabs small and keep my temps set accordingly to avoid needing the carb cap. When dabing the carb cap is considered by many as a way to "properly finish a dab" This can be personal preference. We use carb caps at shows with flower to help compensate for the varying lung strength of people walking up to the dab bar. Other folks on this forum use their carb cap for adding a conduction heat element to their flowerpot session.
The flowerpot can be used (as many do) as a conduction vape. However true on demand convection vaping was the original design intent of the flowerpot.
screens
With convection vaping the finer the grind the denser the clouds (like espresso coffee). This is because the surface area of the material is increased. There's more edges of the material for the hot air to contact. In my opinion convection vapes are largely limited by their filtration (screen) system. Many vapes just can't handle the extra fine grind (mighty comes to mind) as they get clogged up quickly and begin to restrict draw. Our titanium double weave screen will allow extra fine material to be vaped. These double weave screens last a long time. I've been using the same one for over a year. It cleans like new after soaking in hot alcohol (fizzes like alkalizer tablet when first dropped in). One would think that the double weave screen would get gummed up and quickly begin restricting the air flow but that doesn't seem to happen. The double weave screen will also help keep the glass clean. Our glass bowls with their built in glass screens do get gummed up quickly and don't handle the extra fine grind as well as the shovelhead bowl with double weave screen.
Big air
The showerhead or weedeater paired with a 18mm female glass will produce the most amount of airflow. The vrod has a bit more restriction because the center hole design.
@NewVape710, @newvape918, please, be good enough to answer my above-quoted question so I can make an educated purchasing decision.
Specifically, I want to know:
- How well does the basic cap fit the SH? Well or just well enough?
- Does the SH cap have air holes? And, & if so, which has the more open airflow of the two?
- what does 10-24 thread mean?
Do you heat soak it on or off the herb? I would think off, otherwise, I would think that the herb would be roasted if not combusted if on.

As I know I won't ever use the SH cap for flower, if I can get by with spending $8 vs. 40 & having it be good enough, I'll go that route.

Thank you -TIA.
Anyone on the thread even have the basic cap?
Speaking of carb caps: Having not even seen a FP in person, I'm gonna ask such a naive question that it may make me sound like an ignoramous & I might be asked to turn in my FC membership card :
Do you heat soak it on or off the herb? I would think off, otherwise, I would think that the herb would be roasted if not combusted if on.
How specifically does it help
in adjusting someone's draw?I haven't a clue. No physics please.
