The worse is if the screen flips because no ridge, while a good load is in there
It holds better if a bit of resin is on the glass so it sticks on it. I used broken 7th floor wands this way too, with a screen only holding at the tip, it permits to vape at a much lower temp because the load gets closer to the element 
have you tried to hook the buddha on a gravity bong setup? (dial the temp down before, as it really pulls all the juice out of the herb, if you get the correct pull/raise the bottle at the correct speed)
Nice! I have not seen the ruby pearls. I do know the ceramic heater has the same crystalline structure as a ruby, so hope they do not stick to the heater. They do make light dimmers you could potentially use to lower it more. I do feel at the lowest temp it should be really hard to get brown, but again I have not tried the pearls. I do feel I am like you, as an owner I run mine hot, then forget to lower it for my friends, making a not so good time. This does seem like a good thing.
Nice! Just another added feature only Elev8 vapes offer. Thanks for your support!
Nice, the herb does have to get pretty warm to decarboxylase. Do you know your leftover duff is the perfect edible? Our new aroma tops are made from boro, so we are excited about that!I use a small orange 3 inch gardening plates on top of the buddha, its a bit like the aromathery plate that seventh floor sells but a couple cents each instead of maybe 20$... Its kinda a multifunction tray... bud can be put there so it decarbs the weed a bit while I vape a dryer bud, or essential oils/herbs for a nice smell
in this case they act as a heat sink and effectively deliver more heat than the rod can do on its own. without the beads i'd be around 3 o'clock and it would take quite a few pulls to fully extract the wand, if i was able to. with the beads i'm around 12:30 and it takes 2-3 draws, tops. i will say this is purely for my personal preference - i'm sure a lot of people prefer the dbv/ssv as they are.
We do have a new enhancer if you like to run at lower temps. It is a quartz tube, we feel the beads are dangerous and can cause injury if they fall out. https://www.elev8glassgallery.com/quartz-heater-enhancement-tube/
well dang, didn't know about that a few months ago when i put this together... that looks awesome!
More thermal mass means less of a temperature drop when the vape is hit, downside it takes longer to heat up the extra mass.
Either way you have it good to go it sounds like! Have a sweet day!
Really, with a SSV, leave it on all the time, so its always good. Not much heat up time. or same as a DBV
No really, because of my limited station space I only have room for one 24/7 vape and at the moment that's an E-Nano. However, I am reassured that the Surfer and the Buddha could fill a similar role.
when i'm home it's basically always on... tiny footprint for my desk without screaming paraphernalia. always ready for an on-demand draw. since it's only around 12:30 on the dial, it's hardly hot a few inches above the heater cover, which is also nice.
but then i still have to trust the plug... in all seriousness though, i like the way you think, and it's probably time i looked into one of those...
(idk if it's the right wording), my bad, I have an article to write....

Depends on the vape and who you ask, my observation is that the additional thermal mass helps maintain a higher temperature across the draw instead of dropping off as fast.
