Wrap Around expanded airflow idea for Showerhead coil nut, 5 more air holes at a 45 degree angle branching off the original 5.
I think you have a really good idea here. If you don't mind my input...you could even make the side holes with the outer exit holes in a separate rotating ring so you could open and close the side holes (all of them, not each one on and off individually) giving you the ability to select all FP head options in one head. Plus, if a small micro-dose insert was designed, you may want to turn off the side holes and direct all of the heat straight down the middle using the top holes only.Edwyn and Invertedisdead,
Have you considered a standard wraparound head, but with thicker material underneath the dish. Drill holes from the outer edge of the thick base, radially through the base toward the center. At the center, they meet up with the outer ring of their own set of shower head vertical air holes, at a right angle.
This would give you a wraparound showerhead design, that would take standard and D-Nail dishes, and would have the airflow of the ShowerHead. No new design, just thicken the base, use the ShowerHead nut/threading/diameter, and drill some radial holes. I'm thinking you could easily get 11 radial holes this way... plus the normal 5 center holes, you're at 16. That's almost the Showerhead's 19!
It'll work, I tell ya!
A drop-over ring that grips the top ledge of the wraparound and covers the radial holes would work fast and easy to close off the extras.
Or... this just occurred to me... you could have an inside air channel going to the top of the ring... it would suck air from the top so the side holes would help the center holes clear concentrate vapor!
Tons of options.
EDIT: I just re-read @Square4Life 's post, and realize that he might be talking about a fixed rotary ring that could be turned to close off the extra holes. That would work well too!
The air is going to take the path of least resistance. I think the options maybe slightly more limited than we're hoping
The rotary ring is going to get hot? Carb capping AND using a ring to close holes is all getting a bit complicated IMHO!
Not be negative nelly or anything, just joining in the chat
Says one of the most outspoken users of the world's most complicated vaporizer! Heh...
Just teasin' you, man... and enjoying the conversation!
My mechanical design background tells me radial holes are going to be the simplest solution to get a WrapAround ShowerHead. Call it a hunch... time will tell!
Oh yeah, the ring would get hot but my vision had the ring set open or closed before the session. Use the dabber to rotate it after hot. But not something you would alter during every draw.The air is going to take the path of least resistance. I think the options maybe slightly more limited than we're hoping

Do you use the carb cap for those hits? I was just thinking of when you said dabbing off titanium tastes gross, if the Ti was contributing some off taste, likely you would notice the same thing with your convection dabs off the Ti bowl? So many ways to use the FP! What temps are you digging, I'm gonna try one of these bowl schmear dabs with this lemon haze goop.
I have found that vaping concentrate with or on flowers strangely diminishes and muddies the flavor of both.
I personally prefer to vape concentrates and flower separately for better flavor.
I totally agree that it muddies the flavor. If I’m going to do a DD I’m not to concerned with taste. I love my dnail SiC dish for dabbing vs the TI showerhead to me the flavor is way better than with TI. I also find the flavor better and more pronounced dabbing from the dish vs off screens or health stones but taste is subjective.I have found that vaping concentrate with or on flowers strangely diminishes and muddies the flavor of both.
