My BF order arrived yesterday and after a quick clean of all the parts I had my VROD converted to the B2 with a new B1 beside it. The 2 Ed's TNT handles I ordered are stunning! The ergonomics absolutely crush the stock Shovelhead bowl, this is a worthwhile upgrade imo.
I was scratching my head a little when I set the new Auber to 320° and I wasn't getting any vapor, but I quickly remembered they come set to Farenheit not Celsius so I swapped units and set the dial to 320°C/608°F on both Auber's.
After a few minutes of warming up while I checked on my plants (my Slurricane #7 is looking frosty!) I took the plunge. The B1 is ridiculous, I've never seen my Sphere fill up with vapor so quickly. I agree with
@delta hotel in response to
@ManFlies352 that no carb cap is needed for the B1 and I actually feel like it hurts the performance. I don't have a new universal carb cap but instead a Beracky glass cap and the additional airflow restriction is exactly that, without a noticeable increase in vapor density. The B1 isn't as free flowing as a VapBong for comparison but it's easily the most free flowing of the CH family and just gives you instant vapor.
The B2 is a different kind of beast. I need to open mine up and re-work the rubies because I'm getting a good hot spot on a portion of the bowl. Both my B1 and B2 currently have 3mm rubies installed. It hits harder than the VROD, that's for sure, but compared to the B1 I need to do more side by side testing (which completely crushes me) to see what I think of each. My tolerance has been climbing over the past week and these two are going to destroy it.
