First of all thank you sooooo much if you left a reviews or testimonial on my website, this should really help build trust for enthusiasts who are new to my products and my company and I'm really happy about that.
I sincerely appreciate your help with this a whole lot, if anyone reading this post is really loving their ZX and just catching up on the thread, please consider leaving a short review on my website, it would mean a lot!
Thank you kindly and cheers friends, I hope everyone following along is gearing up for an excellent weekend with lots of tasty terps! I know my ZX is fired up bright and early this morning (I rarely turn it off
)
PSA: I've noticed that the inner edge of the 14mm female joint on my glass has some new/fresh chips and suspect a combination of cavalier operation and the sharp unbroken outer edge at the bottom of the ZBowl. My glass is cheap so I'm not too flustered but if I had some of y'all's glass I'd be peeving hard (at myself).
@invertedisdead - could be a reasonable upgrade to consider breaking that edge; even a tiny radius would be gentler than what's there now.
The new ZX housings are rounded off at the end of the joint, so I should be able to work that into the next batch of bowlZ. I don't have that many zirconia bowls left in stock, I think there's about 30 left.
Appreciate your feedback and your support!
I wanted to share some praise for the SX. I don't use it a lot compared to the Zs but I have found the perfect niche: camping.
I was fortunate to win a ball vape kit from another mfr and included was a brief case for travel and I reckoned this was the opportunity to test ball vape portability. That vape is a large diffuser so I also wanted something for the quick punch too, hence the SX. The upshot is that bringing both was a lot of fun but if I were to bring one only, it would be the SX, not because the other was disappointing in any way but because even on vacation the SX is a friendlier size for me. Its durability and performance are top-notch of course so it's travel-friendly and can get the job done while being adjustable in terms of hit size.
I'm not sure when we'll see the SX return but I hope others will consider this ultra-durable P3 suitable for travel, camping, and of course, everyday use.
Thanks a ton for the great testimonial for the SX! I could probably do a SX preorder just like I did the first time to prove interest. I’d just have to get some new quotes. I’d be potentially open to if I could get them made affordably enough to not compete so much with the ZX. I'm just not sure how many people would buy a SX if they are nearly the same price as the ZX. The SX's were actually turned totally by hand on a manual lathe. The local machinist who made them for me has CNC capabilities now so he might be able to help me nudge the price down a bit through the time savings from the automation.
I do feel the ZX really represents my original vision well following in the footsteps of all my earlier glass/quartz concepts, but I do want to give the people what they want 'cause I need the revenue to buy food and develop more innovapive concepts, so if more SX's is the ticket I'm down for it. Could do more Z8's too if there's interest there, I'm open to bringing back some of my already developed ideas if there's enough interest, even if it's just through limited runs or drops and not constant availability.
But I’m really trying to add some 220V controllers so my international customers can order Plug & Play ZX kits, so that’s kind of where I’m trying to go. If this interests anybody reading please let me know! I'm thinking of running a pre-order for that to gauge interest and help secure more electronics to be able to offer my products in more convenient "ready to rip" packages as people have definitely been asking for them.
I love the SX. I think I would like my ZX more if I had never tried the SX. It is totally great in so many ways.
I think I would probably only stock the ZX, if I were a retailer, because it has more unique features. But I personally like the SX so much more. Mine works faster, more efficiently, and the flavor is indistinguishable from the ZX. I did the blind taste test even. And flavor is the number one reason I choose to vape.
Anyway I know I am an outlier, but the SX kicks ass.
Appreciate you posting your feedback and experiences! Thanks so much for supporting the vision! I'm stoked you're still digging the SX! Thanks a lot for supporting that run as that was a pivotal moment in me deciding to follow through with officially starting this company.
Received the ZX a few days ago and agree with everyone's conclusions here. It's a great lil flavor machine! Perfect for the micro-doser like myself. Been trying through various glass, both big and small, and found
THIS old simple rig providing great results. Liking a real fine grind for the zirc chamber, filling it about 1/2 full (or a bit more) for a single extraction. I'd be in for a bigger one that would possibly be easier to stir than the glass. Although it's real easy to dump, clean, and reload the current size
Thanks so much for rocking with us!!! So stoked you're enjoying the ZX so far!
Personally I never stir anymore since going down from 18MM ball vapes to my 14MM lineup since I did the Z8 last November (crazy that was almost a year ago)
Nothing wrong with stirring your bowl, super common in the scene but I do feel the issue with stirring is once the material has been dried out it becomes extremely brittle and when agitated I feel this tends to clog the screens a lot faster. And ironically this actually leads to more uneven vaporization when the rim of the screen is clogged and air is only being pulled through the center.
I recommend cleaning the bowl or just changing out the screen frequently for an optimum vaping experience. When the bowl is still warm and heat saturated you can pretty much completely clean it with a quick cotton swab ram-rodded down the bore like a musket.
I'm still using my trusty BCG medium plate but I should really try ordering their fine plate, I know this is subjective but I've always preferred a very fine grind for true one hit snapper extraction as you are exposing maximum surface area of the botanical materials. There's some research on commercial cannabis extraction that peers into this concept. I just have not tried the fine plate as I haven't really bought anything for myself since I started this company. I used a Kannastor fine plate for most of the early InVerzion prototypes when I was developing this purpose built, coil powered, ruby ball vape concept.
A larger matching zirconia bowl about the size of our glass chambers could definitely happen. A decent number of people have expressed interest in that so that could materialize fairly quickly. It would probably be a little bit more expensive than the ultra low profile zirc chamber just considering the larger dimensions.
Thanks again everyone for following along, don't hesitate to reach out if I can help with anything. I'll be working on some stuff this weekend so I should be around for a quick reply. Going to work on some of the things mentioned in this post and bag up some more of these Viton handles for my preorder zirconia bowl buyers.
Thank you kindly friends,
Your friendly neighborhood phase change experts
) I was trying to love a Nano XL, but the routine felt like was much work as a portable. I did love the flavor, butt it was a little too much work. Along comes my ZX.... and it all fits. 
That would probably be more restricted, as adding more beads would induce more flow resistance, and with the outlet being the same diameter it would have the same choke point.
