Are we to understand that this is the same heating element as on the original model? if not, what is the power rating of the 18mm version? the overall dimensions of the log remain the same? so the wooden sleeves are compatible with both versions? can't wait to see the new mouthpieces with the larger herb chamber
Edit: I've just noticed that Dougs Woodery mouthpieces work wonderfully with the wooden sleeve of the glass mouthpiece (just add an O-ring or two from a Dynavap tip, as shown below). It can be very interesting if you already have both vaporizers (and O-rings or a DV).
Also works with Dynabox mouthpiece for bricks:
And with DW 12" MP:
(caution: this will toggle the CL, but will extract a huge (and very tasty) hit in no time at all)
And the tiny version (original NOVA):
(beware of glass variations: dimples must be completely covered by the O-ring to avoid air leaks (place it as low as possible))
Personally I find it very functional
Re Edit: here are just a few more options, Ed'sTNT PipeScents glass heat intake works like a charm
My SBL Jr MP fits perfectly without even needing an O-ring (Ø12.8mm OD for SBL and Ø12mm OD for DW/Ed'sTNT/Dynabox (that require an O-ring)):
(unfortunately, the other SBL MP I have don't fit as well and there's not enough space to add an O-ring which makes them unusable)
Then I recovered the glass from an old combustion pipe (7pipe Twisty Glass) and I made myself a nice MP to use with a dome screen (without the herb chamber), it's very nice for on-demand:
I imagine there must be a lot of options available to try, the best would be to find Ø13mm OD glass like the original so as not to have to use a O-ring with the wooden sleeve. At the moment I'm enjoying the contact of the glass directly with the log and this opens up enormous filling possibilities
