The disk itself is mostly heated by convection but your dab isn't when you touch it against the disk. Probably more a marketing term than anything else since it shouldn't matter whether the disk is up top or on the very evenly heated SiC dish below. Semantics aside I think it's cool to have two options when dabbing, you end up with a high and low temp option. Is it easy to dab on the SiC dish while the disk is in place? Also have you tried dabbing along the edge of the disk so that it dribbles down onto the the next surface, kinda like a dab fountain?
That Boss titanium e-nail looks nice. Just wish it was made for a 20mm coil too. Looks like I need to pick up a 16mm coil and a flat coil. Seems like it would be nice to have all three.While I was checking to see if the Silika Side-Arm e-nail was out yet at 420Titanium, I noticed this interesting new arrival:
http://420titanium.com/collections/...itanium-3in1-domeless-e-nail-insert-16mm-coil
What makes it really attractive is the $50 price tag, plus there should be some codes for that site floating around too. Cup size seems like it might be closer to the OmniNail and the cup is inside the coil which I think is a good thing. Will probably buy it to give it a try just because it's so cheap.

Congrats to @NewVape710 on their Manufacturer badge, it's great to finally have you on the forum!
I just saw this posted on their IG, they call it the Peacemaker and it's a Dab hookah octodab. Not sure what to think of it yet but I'm looking forward to seeing the prototype.

An ENail ia an electrically heated dabbing apparatus. Here's mine with my Hammish Franken-bubbler fixed by @VaPeD&CoNfUsEd. Standard nails are heated with a torch.wtf is an enail?
can anybody familiar with PID devices help me understand what the different values mean and why the Aubers Instruments parameters are different from the Divine Tribe and Terps Nail parameters and why Aubers would give a special manual to change one of the parameters for 20 millimeter 100 watt coil
Edit: my coil is 150 Watts..... Says it right on it. I am going back to all stock settings... This thing works too good!
I would get the gimido enail they are $120 plus shipping for the cheapest model I have one and it's awesome heats up really quick and very sturdy also dhl is super fast shipping like 3 days from chinawhat would be a better option for a cheaper enail?
the 2 that ive seen are the high5 enail ($140) and the stickybox enail ($200)
does anyone have any experience with either of these?
First of all, Enhale is kind of sketchy. l the second I made the purchase I regretted it and got really sketched out so I started doing research on the company and it's like hardly anythings exists, yet their site comes up number 1 on google when you search ceramic enail coil. wierd ... but it seems like they have been selling their ceramic enail nail before hive even put out the ceramic enail. Took days for a tracking number during which I stressed out about losing my money lol so I emailed the dude asking whatsup and he responded immediately and said ill get you tracking asap which he did and the item proceeded to arrive in a couple days.
The coil works perfectly with the divine tribe box, same pinout . and Despite its shortcomings, I do really like the nail. It is currently my daily driver. I ordered the female universal nail but the 14mm gauging inside is too wide for a 14mm male.. so you would need to use an 18mm.. but even with that.. the cast is not perfectly round so it doesnt seal and it wobbles a bit.. so after staring at it for weeks i took a piece of hemp and wrapped the bottom wide part of the 14mm male joint on my piece 15-20 times till it was just a little wider than the nail's inner diameter at its widest. so this allowed me to fit the nail onto the wrapped hemp and it is holding very stable with no problems! totally rigged but fuck it ceramic is really where its at for enails and its working good for now... i wonder if their male nail is any different. I emailed the company about my issues and they never responded. surprise..
heres a thread on reddit:

and heres some weird sheet metal company in chiliwack lol WTF this is where is gets strange

Enhale used to have an amazon company but now they dont.. but now enhale is being sold by an amazon company "silicon plus".. feel like enhale is just shooting for wholesale big orders

PID: proportional-integral-derivative
heres some helpful info that may help you
--if it overshoots a lot and oscillates, either the integral gain needs to be increased or all gains should be reduced
--Too much overshoot? Increase D, decrease P.
--Response too damped? Increase P.
--Ramps up quickly to a value below target temperature (0-160 fast) and then slows down as it approaches target (160-170 slow, 170-180 really slow, etc) temperature? Try increasing the I constant.
For my 180w flat coil these are the settings i had come to 28.2/18/6.39 on my mypin ta4 pid. maybe try scaling these numbers a bit.
Mine tends to occiliate on it's own 1 or 2 degrees up or down and it likes to overshoot/heat up a lot after a hit to the point of glowing, I normaly run 780, lowest I can go without losing vapor so far
I had no idea you could even change anything on the PID, how would you go about tweeking a gltc420 pid in the first place?

that happens with mine too, especially when using my 180w flat coil (180w coil your thinking? idk why they made it 180watts either...). it gets glowing red on heat up and glows a little bit during reheat after taking a hit. For the higher wattage coils (depending on your PID), they tend to heat up a lot faster than the lower wattage coils. more watts = more power/ability to heat. PID's generally require different settings depending on what wattage your coil is. playing around with these numbers is pretty much the only way to do this
Most E-nails overshoot on heat up but should oscillate in the 1-3 degrees range. With my old PID (and the PID values i posted above) i was able to get my 180W coil to oscillate in that range but would overshoot temp every time.
now i have a gimido PID and its PID settings seem to be set for 100W coils (haven't tried to change the settings at all for some reason..) because my 180W coil oscillates by about 8-9 degrees both ways. however, my regular 100w coil, oscillates within 1-2 degrees and doesn't lose near the amount of heat when being hit, nor does it get glowing red.
take into account that if you are placing a cold carb cap on the nail that the nail will lose heat. i wouldnt consider this a false cold reading because the PID measures the actual nail temp. putting a cold/room temp titanium carb cap on a titanium nail is obviously going to cause the nail to lose heat. People sometimes heat their carb cap up a little bit before doing low temp dabs to keep nail more consistent temp. Just place your carb cap on your e-nail for about 4-5 seconds, take it off and let the nail temp stabilize again before taking your dab and using the heated cap
The glowing is coming from your coil trying to get back to temp, but using more power than is needed. the PID controls this by determining the % of output it needs to get back to the set temp, and it controls this output % based on the PID values that are set. when you see the coil glowing, at least on my PID, it shows that it is using nearly 100% of my 25A solid state relays output. It should never have to use 100% of its available output to get back to temp but thats where the PID values come into play. playing with these values and scaling them together is the only way to find the right PID values
I know nothing about the gltc420 pid but you should be able to change its settings somehow
I've had my Errlectric since November. I have 3 different nail/coil setups. (Ti , Herb Nail, FQN Banger). It never glows red. Ever. With any coil. It does not overshoot by more than a few degrees either. But it is different than a standard PID. It has no adjustment other than temp, off timer, screen contrast, etc. It will oscillate a bit, but that is usually caused by a ceiling fan or draft from the AC vent. Coils are 200W. A friend had a LIT E-nail. Glowed every sesh. Coil only lasted 6 months.

So all of your coils are from errlectric and are all 200 w? Is that the standard wattage they put out on their coils? have you plugged a non errlectric coil in your errlectric box?
my 100w gimido works perfectly with my gimido pid. only things touched were what temp i wanted it on.
i just checked the cable itself and turns out the official gimido coil that came with it is 120W, maybe that is what is causing the problem?!
This is the same exact PID I have on right now lol. I haven't even tried to change the settings. It works perfect with the 100W coil I have. i'm not sure why Gimido has sent all these different wattage coils out? Before they even specified wattages is when I ordered my flat coil and they sent me a 180 w coil.
idk why they sent you a 120w coil either????
200w seems to be standard. I have not tried a non Errlectric coil on my box. With 3 of theirs I have no need.So all of your coils are from errlectric and are all 200 w? Is that the standard wattage they put out on their coils? have you plugged a non errlectric coil in your errlectric box?

honestly, i would never pay 500$ for an e-nail. i built mine for about a fourth of that
