Well my lovely Obsidian arrived after being delayed in the UPS system here for a while and unfortunately the heater is broken from the body. I think customs were heavy handed with the box......so very sad about this but I have reached out to Daniel to update him. Sometimes life just keeps on giving.....feeling a bit low anyway and this just topped off my week.

That's heartbreaking. Whoever made that put so much work into that. UPS beat the shit out of my Collyland box. I've never been delivered a box in such bad shape. They had opened it to see that the box inside(the Art of Vapor box inside the brown box). I guess they saw the interior box inside was intact and delivered the package.
Thankfully they packaged it so well. UPS must have gone to town on yours.
Edit: deleted a sentence because of the post right above mine that came in after I hit the post button.

Hey @Ripstar happy to hear yours arrived in good condition, Daniel being the good guy he is, is sending me out a new Obsidian but there's no way I can throw this one out, so I'm doing my best to repair it. Broken heater is now epoxy glued back into position as best I can, I think it's sealing the the bowl well and now I'm waiting on some fine ceramic filler and paints to arrive.
Thanks all for the nice words and support, you're a good bunch.

Are you the guy who's gonna fix my vapbong when I mail it out?
No, that would be another gentleman. However, we have been in contact with him and he was generous enough to offer his assistance to the artists for any repairs here in North America, so we plan to utilize his services going forward.

Welcome to FC @GlassGrassOrVAS glad Jaxel will have some good help and are getting set up to sell well! Their thread here:

Now if I did everything right, this is the new thread. We have great new devices like the wonder lamps. We will be introducing the first ones shortly. Maybe someone has already seen our video on Telegram, there we open the oven and the first wonder lamps can be seen. Currently we have all...

Thank you brother, I appreciate the help navigating and the warm welcome!

So I repaired the damaged VB as best I could, I’m quite happy with the result considering when it arrived the only thing holding the heater to the body were the two wires. Not perfect but at a glance doesn't look too bad.
The heater was glued into position with the ball chamber in place but I’m thinking I might have not got the placement perfect as I am struggling to get full extraction if I’m not in the highest setting, doesn’t sound like that’s normal but I am also new to it, so…..
The only white ceramic I can see is the hairline gap next to the heater, in your opinion would that really matter ? Surely the tolerances aren’t that tight? The ball gives a little ‘click’ once it seats itself into position if that’s anything to go by.
New unit should be here soon so I hope I can make a comparison soon but wanted to ask you guys your thoughts. Right first time uploading images in ages, hope it works OK.

Great job ! I wouldn't worry too much about the sealing as I'm always getting clouds, even when the chamber is not set properly.
Here is the AVB (less than 0.1g).
Heating up at 11 for 15mn, then starting at 9 and ending at 10.

Thanks @BubbleDrop Only way I can get to that ABV colour here is to have the controller at full heat (12.4); I tried the 11 range yesterday and only ended with a golden colour despite different draw speeds, loads etc. Still a lovely experience I’m just not sure why my repaired VB runs cold.

Just to be sure…are you letting the unit heat soak for at least 30 minutes before vaping?
Lozo

I sure am.; left if for a good hour at full power then dropped it down to 11.0 for 30 mins to stabilise and started working up from there in small increments. I have to draw quite slowly at 12.4 to get the colour that @BubbleDrop kindly posted.

The newer units are calibrated to be used in the 9 volt range. After it’s powered on for about 10 minutes, do you see the coil glow? Have you noticed any damage to the internal heating spiral and the ceramic it’s wrapped around? It’s possible that the power wires were stressed and moved or pushed the heat spiral. Is the ball chamber completely sealed to the downstem?
