No kidding! But damn, it's dangerously addicting it's so damn tasty!
I haven't tried it with rosin yet, but with shatter i'm almost thinking it's smoother than with water! I don't think rosin will be this smooth.

My dab rig has a 2 hole perc and holds about as much water as a shot glass so I don't think it robs much flavor. My nails so big I need water to support the rig or it will fall over!

Hmmm, sounds tempting.
But my rig will definitely tip w/o water.
Excuse to buy new glass?

Funny.
I love flower vapor dry, but do not really like concentrate vapor.
Too much of that sticky residue from the vapor gets stuck on my lips/teeth and for some reason that gives off more of a waxy type taste from my experiences. I've attempted with BHO and rosin.
The residue on my glass from flower vapor doesn't offend me as much it seems too. But, those balls of wax that get filtered out when using water do not look very appealing imo.
Also off topic, but has anyone thought about getting some custom sized inserts produced for DNAIL dishes for up temp hits?

I went back.
Water on the daily, dry when the urge strikes! Both have their pros/cons indeed. Settled on minimal water just so the perk fires and keeping my glass pieces on the smaller side.
Thinking about getting that Polar Shift thermal mat...just to warm up shatter.

Any advantage of going with the quartz halo from d-nail vs NV?

Wik surface on the D-Nail Halo?
Oh, and locking nut.
That's a fair bit of price difference though.
After reading the explanation behind the science of the Wik surface on the d-Nail site though how could you get anything but @biohacker ? ... 
... seems to me like you should actually probably get both so that we all can all make educated decisions based on your review!

Anyone use a quartz halo as a daily driver and can comment on the cleaning schedule and such?
That's gotta' be one of the biggest advantages of SiC no? The ease of maintenance? (just thinking out loud here ... I'm imagining the quartz will be much higher maintenance ... but would be interested to hear feedback ...)

Don't tempt me!
I already have enough inner dialogue going on with that Sapphire Halo just posted in the Classifieds! 
Oh man ... you should definitely get that too!!!!Don't tempt me!
Just think of how nice it would be to have SiC, Saphire, Wik Quartz, and Quartz ... that would be awesome! !!

Honestly was just thinking of the NV $10 quartz as a backup. I have no interest in vaping off of quartz. And I think that the sapphire is a deal breaker, as the High5 omron heats up too fast!
Anyone know why D-nail dropped the Sapphire halo? Or why it was limited?
@biohacker I'll fire up the NV quartz in a minute and see how it goes.

Sweet, and it's not that i'm against quartz or anything because I know some prefer it over SiC, it's mostly the ease of maintenance and the use of lower temps. My experience with quartz has been similar to Ti, not good.
lol well I went to try my idea for an uptemp and just dropped the dish in without the retaining nut, but I snagged it taking the carb cap off and the dish fell out and broke

At least it was only $10! +1 for NV non Wik!

d-nail is a manufacturer of enail controllers and nails for vaping. They use 5-pin xlr connectors for the heater and have a specific pin layout for the connectors. They have a range of controllers including a DIY model that you can put together. There are other enail manufacturers who share the same pin layout and connectors so the components are compatible with one another.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, I'm pretty sure d-nail doesn't warranty any damaged caused by using non d-nail hardware with d-nail equipment.

Do any of you ever torch your sic nails while away from the grid? Curious on your method, torch time, cool down, etc. Just received my Blazer Big Buddy torch, and am finally good to go! Just don't wanna waste a lot experimenting!
Also, is the sapphire halo just as easy to clean as the SiC by being able to set it to 250 and do a q-tip sponge mop?
