A 16mm barrel coil or 20mm depending on your nail. Do you have a picture?What kind of heating element can I use with a quartz dome less nail?
check out 710superstore they have cheaper quartz enails.Pukinbeagle blows quartz nails with 16mm and 20mm cups, with the correct ledge for standard 4mmX25mm hot runner coils to sit on.
They run $150 to $260 on the d-nail website depending on cup size and joint, with a 4 week lead time. Cheaper on ebay when available.
I need a nail I can afford to break. I'm hoping there is a way to adapt standard tall or flat coils for mass manufactured domeless nails, the kinds sold on ebay. I have a club banger (thanks fc!) with a joint, I'm pretty sure nothing will work for that. I was hoping to find a cheap castle that will slide through a flat spiral coil - which is no longer the popular enail coil type. The common (ie sold on ebay) flat spirals are 26mm OD, 9mm ID. I worry that a jointless DI nail won't actually fit through that coil, even 10mm nails.
The DIY nail is very affordable using high quality off-the-shelf components. Custom anything, whether glass or heater coil, takes it out of the $200 league. This would be easy peasy if I would use a titanium nail instead, but I want quartz.
Is there something missing here if I want quartz? My choice is the EDIT: fuck it writing this post makes me want to just pay PukinBeagle for their effort, or buy the $65 ebay knockoffs.
only disagreement replies requested? did I read that right?@farscaper I'm guessing those are the ones sold on ebay for $65. Its a reasonable price but it is still not ideal - the heating ring around the cup. That works great on Titanium for the same reason you can heat its shaft - the heat conducts throughout the metalwork. But with a quartz nail, you end up with hotter cup walls and a cooler cup floor, which is the reason you folk don't use your daisy nails much. It stands to reason that the ideal setup involves heating the cup floor (with a flat heater under the cup). Please do not be polite to me, please point anything I say that you disagree with.

Just for fun, I built a dual e-nail setup using the standard design and the MYPIN TA4 PIDs and the new XLR connector. Got the programing done and its working nearly as good as my D-nail original unit.
Going to build a triple for my buddy's dab bar where we hang alot. Nice glass bar in a semicircle made out of glass. Figure setting up three stations with complete control would help avoid passing pieces around. Also, easy to compare nail step-ups or even different glass itself. Typically run a 20mm dish, 18mm female quartz nail on one rig and a Omni nail from Santa Crus Shredder using a 10mm coil and the standard D-nail base. Tried out the original rev 1.1 TI nail (10mm coil) and the new 20mm dish rev 1.2 TI. For TI nail use the Omni nail is the best so far. Just bought the top section from SCS and use the original D-nail base and coil. Also bought the new rev 1.2 top since I use a 20mm coil on the quartz. About $450 out of pocket with coils and 2 nails.
Also bought the cheaper coils from AliExpress.com. Comes pre-wired with the XLR male plug wired compatible to the production D-nail XLR female panel connector. Only $60 ea. Uses the same sleeve etc. only thing takes time to get and shipping is a bit high. $16, then $6 for each additional.

Looks almost exactly like a Smart Dabb. How does that waterpipe not shoot water directly into your mouth?I checked with the alibaba folks... minimum order is like 5 if you want to get it for less than 300 after shipping.
But wait..... I bought mine here. http://www.BestE-Nail.com. they also have regular and flat coil enails. Thats how i found them. Mydeale..um, friend, has a BestE-Nail Mach 1 which is their regular style e-nail. it has a 2 yr warranty, and he's used it a LOT for like 10 months now with no problem. But I've had my Mach 3 (that's what they call their branded version) for like 3 months now, and it has changed my life. This is the absolute best one around. And i've used dabjoy, dnail, and of course the BestE-Nail mach 1.
Sorry for such a long ramble, but i wish i could preach it to everyone. I love my Mach 3!!!
heres the link again. http://www.BestE-Nail.com
yep. knock off smart dabb, with plastic around the heater thats not even supposed to be touching high temp silicone on the original..... uhhhh, yea, you be the judge of safety on that Chinese vape.....
the majority of www.BestE-Nail.com is lazily copy pasted from smart dabb http://smartdabb.com/smart-dabb-digital.html (click read more) .
even copied the words for features non existent on the chinese copy like carbon fibre body of the heater. and even have the balls to take the line that gives them credit for the patent pending stainless steal air-path.
