I'm sure you could get a replacement one, but I'm no expert, maybe ask? ^
It's no big deal...I was just curious.

HighI just jumped in! I purchased a premade model. How long do these bad boys usually take to reach the US? I understand that current circumstances may slow things down, of course.

Can we get a user video of this vape in action???
Seems like we have a few members here with them now.
Perfect time, quarantine gives you all the time you need.
Please??
OK, made a 10ish minute video on usage. Please excuse the quality, first time I've done anything like this. I felt compelled though, as it's a REALLY cool unit.
(it looks like the last couple of minutes got cut for some reason, but there wasn't much there anyway, hah!)
Happy to answer any questions, or take pics of anything in more detail.
Also... I missed the perfect opportunity for "It's Weerking!".
One other note: it came in a really nice pine box. Was a nice touch.
Verax posted one a while back. Of course I'd love more people to post

A tenth of a volt is a fifth of the full range I'm moving within with the VapBong, and it does drop by 0.2V sometimes too after a while.
If I even came close to 11.6 I would combust. I let mine heat soak at 12v. Then I dial it back to 9.5v, place the ball/bowl in it's spot take a few tokes, remembering to shake the ball/bowl every few hits. My voltage fluctuating all the while to as low as 9v and as high as 10v. They definetly need a different vvpsOioioi, I totally forgot to report my experiences with the voltage drops – so actually things are a bit more serious with „my“ device than I thought, although there's a bit of an asterisk to that.
I had a one hour session (2x .15g) and made a (although not very precise) protocol about the voltage drops. I set the dial to 11.6 and started hitting after about 12 minutes, which was when I first had to reset it back to 11.6V because it had already dropped by 0.5V. I had to reset it again about 20 minutes later when it had dropped by 0.3V. After that I stopped resetting it and it only dropped by 0.2V once more (about 45 minutes after the session started) and then stayed there.
So in total it dropped by almost one full volt and I had to reset it twice. Now the asterisk here is that although I would consider this behavior to be a bit of an issue, this session was a super enjoyable and nice experience. Having to reset the dial a bit does not take away very much. The VapBong wöörks fine & rocks.
As long as the session was good, all is good!

With as much as you handle the ball/bowl, all I can think is how much it would suck if the ball/bowl broke.
Wouldn't it be even better if it came with a spare ball/bowl just in case?
Thoughts?

That would be the same as buying an EVO with a free bamboo replacement.
Good question though but as these are custom made, I am not sure what would happen.
Does anyone know if they use a consistent mold for size, shape and screen placement and size?
I would imagine this would speed things up when manufacturing.
Is there a mold? I thought it was all freeform.
The regular style VapBong's are pretty much all built alike so a replacement ball/bowl could be possible. I could always ask but I don't wanna Jinx myselfWith as much as you handle the ball/bowl, all I can think is how much it would suck if the ball/bowl broke.

I believe that the ceramic is quite robust. In this video, the maker shows himself pounding the bowl on a wooden table to remove the ABV.
Around 2:00
Who knows what happens if you manage to break it though
They're very responsive to emails, so someone could just ask them!
Only the art section, and even those might incorporate molds. That's why all the classic look the same, so the bowl sections are identical
I have to disagree with your first statement. It would be like buying an EVO and having it come with an extra Hydratube..yes...bamboo...no. Why do I say that...you aren't constantly handling the bamboo in an EVO. The bamboo would be = to the bong part IMHO. In addition to that, you can buy any Hydratube to use with an EVO and it doesn't matter, your only limited by personal preference, and what HT you can find, and lets face it, even DHGate has tons of HT replacement options. For that matter you can just use a glass mouthpiece. Even if the artisan that makes the VapBong could/would sell you a replacement that fits...I don't see how he could make a bowl/ball that matches every VapBong he creates, unless he still has/had some way to reproduce the finish and color. I think it would be easier to make a spare bowl that matches while the original is being made. How long would it take for the incredible inventor/creator/artisan to make a spare ball/bowl while making the original VapBong? Without the bowl, the VapBong would become a very expensive paperweight.
I would love one, but I would be a nervous wreck every-time me or someone other than me handled the bowl/ball.
Wouldn't you agree that banging it on the table is a bit different than dropping it to the floor...especially a ceramic tile or wooden floor?
Yes, but again...the ball/bowl wouldn't match...that would be especially disappointing if you sprung for one of the more expensive "one of a kind designs".
I've worked with ceramics before...when I was a kid, my mom even had a kiln. What I do know is that it's nothing to make another ball (especially if they are all the same size and shape (and match the finish), if you do it while you're making the original and you still have some left over glaze.
I'm sure most of you owners would spring for a spare bowl/ball if it was reasonably priced and available when you purchase a VapBong, and it's a win, win...you have piece of mind, and the creator makes more money.
I would prefer that it came with a spare ball/bowl than a custom made funnel/dish.
Just my
