(( a Lil over medicated I apologize a head of time if my line of thought confusespecially anyone))
if i may ask you the same line of questions . Because am looking at photodo not see what what you say your seeing ingredients how would the Liger belike to suckered the dab through. The insert dish has a wall that's a quarter inch tall the other is about and eighth of an inch tall but the bottom is concave so from bottom dish it's 5/16 give or take 1/32. How much liquid does around 14mm round dish that deep hold... a I've done .6 party dabs and when using the deeper cup side of the insert ((which is why there are two options for the cup size one each insert . And two things about the Liger compared to halo makes me have to assume the halo is far more likely to have liquids sucked into the vapor path. The first is the air flow intake being level or below the dab dish while the liger like all banger the air path it above the level of the liquids in the dish gravity is a a pretty strong force. The next being that insert almost entirely heated with in 5 degrees Fahrenheit ((using a calibtated extech dual thermocouple with temperature differential logger)) so dabs won't really try and run up the sides. That's even with quartz inserts... hated the quartz halos dabs always up the walls ....leaving a dark rim .... I understand that SiCs thermal properties should fix this but fixs the issue and is now available...but what if I was someone whon simply prefer the option of quartz. ....never liked the quartz dish from dnail
All of your mention of quartz here was not vital dude, it was irrelevant to my question and a straw man argument in response to it. I was never discussing quartz of any kind, I never use quartz and the shortcomings you mention about quartz halos are noted, by yours truly, many times in various threads here.
On that topic, if you dab on the quartz halo wik surface towards the inside of the dish you should never have dabs come up the side (this stopped that issue for me, not that I use the quartz halo much/at all - sapphire is just 3489745734957349 x better at the same job). This dab up the side of quartz halo effect will also be effected by how hard your draw is and what shape of airpath/perc you are using. Of course, SiC and Sapphire are better materials to avoid this problem and neither of us use quartz halos for this reason. Still, as I said above this is immaterial to my points raised.
Now for those who don't know: Bumping is chemistry lingo describing the reaction caused by the rapid superheating of the dab touching the nail surface that has not changed phase into the gaseous phase due to a lack of a nucleation point. When a cell of this does change phase (or boil), it does so completely an rapidly with a mini-explosive expansion causing a bursting, splashing bubble to pop up and splash inside the nail.
I agree that the dish might be big enough to put your dab into as it melts (but that .6 party dab must have filled that cup right up!), but I'm not talking about liquid storage volume of the dish here. I am talking about when bumping takes place at areas of the dish and especially combined with the spiralling airflow that it seems the storm cap gives, (correct me if I'm wrong, but regardless, convective flow of any kind in the nail is going to cause airflow more violent spurting when bumping occurs!) will cause an airflow conducive to making any loose spatter such as from a mini explosion from bumping spurt up further still!
I understand that most of you guys would not be familiar with this phenomenon, but Gonzo, seeing your talk of designing nails with Josh, I thought you might have heard of it (still though, no shame in not understanding chemistry if you are not a chemist!).
Regardless, the SiC halo does not cause oil to suck up the inlet because it is a very, very large SiC surface will all the heat distribution that goes with it. The dish is deeper (1/3 of an inch + distance to the top of the locking nut which is the top of the inlet (higher than the sides of the halo go). Due to super efficient flat coil heat distribution to the dabbing surface of the SiC itself, you get quick boiling even at lower temps by touching the dab onto it. Any bumping will have to jump up higher to get in the inlet tube but of course, there is much more dish to spread the dab around so there is less chance of a larger volume of dab in a given spot and hence potential for larger spurts of oil to shoot up. For the dab to get up through the hole you would have to accidentally dab on the titanium retaining lug (and if you're that vaked that you can't dab on the gargantuan SiC target, then maybe it's time for a break lol).
More broadly than this discussion of the minutia of each SiC nail though, you have not said anything in your post that suggests the SiC insert x liger banger to be leaps and bounds better than a SiC halo (although I note the person who said this has not replied) which was the topic at hand. You have mentioned characteristics of the SiC insert without highlighting any clear or specific advantage over the SiC halo, with comments on the quartz halo thrown into the mix. Your comments on halos are almost exclusively about quartz there.
. Of course I learned a long time ago my idea of a large dab can be very, very different than someone else
. Although the shallow side of the inserts seems counter productive more than anything. I would much rather have a large chunk of SIC instead to help with insomnia busters 
. I've heard this is in the works.
I would love to hear if the Liger SiC is machined for wicking directly from Josh when I get a chance to speak to him.
So take that with a grain of salt!
