You are right. No skillet (flat) coil at present but 3.0 will support skillet coil. I believe that the 3.0 is out for beta testing. I don't think there is a published or committed release date yet, but I think its moving right along.
Well, speak up, man! LOL
Well, speak up, man! What are your questions?

We are here for you. Hey guys... Good news. The V3 just arrived at my door and it's a beauty! I know this is the V2 thread but I wanted to post here first! Should I start a V3 thread on it's own do you guys think? I have tons of pics and videos of the new stuff if you are interested in me posting it.
I received a 20mm barrel and 30mm flat coil version with Quartz and sic inserts. All joint bodies including what look like a little 10mm male and a 10mm female vhich is awesome for a little rig. Plus the 14/18m and 14/18F adapters. I still prefer the 20mm version to the 30mm but they are both amazing. The flat coil version needs to be run a little hotter IMO and takes longer to heat up. But once it's heat soaked it's capable of enormous dabs that would actually handle these 1 gram dabs kids are wasting and sucking into their rigs in IG videos I see lol. It may last 50 hits but it wouldn't be sucked into the water into reclaim. And the Hurricane cap is a winner, you want one
20mm
30mm
Ok ! Am i missing something guys??? First of all I don't have my Flat coil it hasnt arrived in the mail from DNAIL, But did the Sapphire not ship out??? I didn't order Quartz only Sapphire that's why I'm confused on the insert i got. I'm fairly certain its Quartzgreat shots mrbonsai! i had a stroke of bad luck, my regular non-hurricane carb cap got stuck in the top of the flat coil so hard on the first use i couldn't (and still can't) get it off. so goodbye entire flat coil body and new quartz insert ;( before you guys put your thinking caps on i tried everything, torching, tapping with hammer, trying to twist the cap off (twisted the dab handle off the threaded base..yeah..), wd-40, all to no avail. and i didn't shove the cap in, i just dropped it in. it's as if it bonded on a molecular level somehow. odd considering the inside rim has a curved lip design as you can see in the above pictures to prevent this but it's stuck nonetheless. so, i'll have to get a new flat coil body from Josh here this week and you'll see the flat coil the TT episode after this next one. part of R&D is trial and error, and i'm delighted to be part of the process every step of the way. everything mrbonsai said is spot on, the flat coil definitely takes some warming up but it is going to be amazing for photos, the thought of a macro vid of a bunch of 6* melting up on it....oooweee! the regular non-hurricane cap may have to undergo some revisions, but it's also possible i just got a bad one. we'll see! the hurricane cap function is badass and it looks like a flying saucer!
on a brighter note, the 30mm works phenomenally! i find that there is a bit of wiggle room for my amazon coil, so i grabbed 2 pairs of pliers and pulled the coil apart that way it snugly fits onto the Liger when i screw on the locking nut. i highly recommend doing this, as it will greatly increase heat transfer to the Liger via increased contact to coil. i did the same for the v2, but the v3 required the coil be stretched out a little more. make sure you stretch evenly and be gentle. i'll go over this in my full review of the Liger in the coming weeks.
for anyone not following my review segment Terpy Tuesday, i cover concentrates here on the west coast of the United States in California and my channel theCCC420 has upcoming collaborations with Bubbleman and the hash church crew
Yer killing me, man! I got all excited so I hit up the website, only to see that there will be no joy for me until at least October.
I'm pretty confused on how you were able to order sapphire insert and flat coil as the 3.0 is not available for order yet and is just out to beta testers.

. I have already emailed josh on a simple remedy and PM me for the trick on releasing it!
As I have said for a long time now, sapphire manufacturing is absolutely bleeding-edge and not something that many manufacturers will be able to do in the near future (and if they can it is going to be limited and expensive!), save for breakthroughs in the manufacturing process (which will no doubt come one day).
Ok so for a long time now ai have been aware that thos is the most common generalized conception held by advocates of using the specialized advanced materials for you heat transfering surface when dabbing. And I will not argue that as an owner of both tbe SiC insert and the quartz I can from personal experience say that yes SiC is superior to quartz. BUT THIS is easily explained BY SiC being a bettef thermal conductor as pure Silica Glass which is refeed to as fused quartz is just simply a poor thermal conductor and does transfer the heat well enough to evenly disperse it throughout the material creating a hotter and colder portions of the materail. While SiC will tend to have a evenly heated surface due to it high rate of thermal tranfer allowing greater heat dispersion.As I have said for a long time now, sapphire manufacturing is absolutely bleeding-edge and not something that many manufacturers will be able to do in the near future (and if they can it is going to be limited and expensive!), save for breakthroughs in the manufacturing process (which will no doubt come one day).
Still, I hope you guys get a chance to try sapphire sometime soon, it really is so outstanding.
By the way, @KimDracula as the longest-term user of sapphire on FC - I'll put it this way:
I own D-nail's sapphire, quartz and SiC halos.
I use the SiC when I am limited to torch use only. I use the Sapphire exclusively on my enail as my daily driver. I do not use the quartz at all.
Sapphire has a substantially better taste in A/B comparison over SiC. It also vaporizes very effectively, similarly to SiC vs the comparatively inferior vaporization/heating of quartz.
IMO the question of whether to get sapphire or not when the opportunity emerges is as follows: can I afford it? If your answer here is yes, then do it
If you can't either afford or access sapphire just now, then SiC is the best option of course IMO.
