Welcome, congrats, and just make sure it has the US layout (if you are in the US--not sure about the 220 kits):

Just for thread knowledge, the wiring layout is not dependent on the local mains voltage. The vast majority of PIDs are international devices, like a laptop charger, and will adjust to the local voltage. It's just the coil that has to match the wiring layout and the local mains voltage.

If you purchased the coil from Phase 3 then it’s wired for Auber, Disorderly Conduction, D-Nail, and Old Head. Those I know are compatible.

Nice! You've gone right to the best! Yes, you'd want one of those on the left.
Exactly. The wiring differences are purely conventional as far as I know; they just need to match between coil and controller.Just for thread knowledge, the wiring layout is not dependent on the local mains voltage.

@Garybuchanen , if you can't find one locally, @VGOODIEZ can get you one quick, usually at a discount (this is 20% off currently):

If they don’t match will that hurt the coil or pid in any way ?

I believe one or the other will fry, but I'm not sure. In any case, one of the brands listed by @madhockeydad will be what you want. I have a few Disorderly Conduction PIDs I run mine off (they're excellent), and a Crossing which is great too. Many folks like the Auber for its easy temp tuning with the dial on top.

Is that the Vgoodiez glass stand? And if so how is it weight / sturdyness wise?

The funny thing about the wiring differences is that they are hooking up the same wires to different pins in the PID - it's a layout difference not an electrical one. They could all be the same as there is no electrical difference. I think there was a company that was trying to make a plug that would convert from one to the other so you could use a coil from one with the other. I don't know what became of it or If it really worked.
Luckily for the Phase 3 there are 4 good options.
I'd love to find the story that led to these two wiring difference. I bet it's something silly like someone ordered a bunch from a Chinese factory but somehow the pin layout got mixed up and they had a ton of inventory so they sold it and viola - now there are two alternatives. Totally made up story but it wouldn't surprise me one bit. DON"T QUOTE ME on this last paragraph. Just high and having fun. LOL.

So what’s the draw restriction like on these ball vapes (zx)? Feel like it’s pretty open ? Kinda hoping it’s like the evo ,probably without that trademark whistle

The vape won't determine the draw restriction. The restriction will depend on the piece you. use it with. That's one of the reasons I think this is liked by so many. Some ball vapes do have restriction but I don't find any measurable restriction with the ZX. I pick a wide open bubbler and use my lungs to draw at the pace and speed I like. Some draw faster and harder and I do more sipping.
It's really cool and not like a vape that has built in restriction. Glad you found a PID!! Great find.

Yes, it is, and it's surprisingly sturdy. I haven't broken it yet. The only issue is that it doesn't have much weight, but when I use it regularly, I place it on a Bear Quartz grip mat, which keeps it perfectly stable. Even without the mat, it's fine as long as there's no tension on the cord. Occasionally, the ZX sticks to it, but you just need to pull it out straight. It's never gotten stuck for me.

Qaromashop offer an adapter cable that let you plug a Qaroma/High5/Chinese Coil into a USA controller. I used it and it work great.
Getting everything assembled and ready to go, still expecting to ship these out later this week. Thanks everyone for your patience and support!
Can't wait to receive that shipping e-mail. First ball vape and I am excited!Getting everything assembled and ready to go, still expecting to ship these out later this week. Thanks everyone for your patience and support!
Balls look clear in the pic. Boro this round?
No they are pure sapphire, no chromium.

Corundum is a naturally transparent material that can contain trace amounts of chromium, titanium, iron, and vanadium, which can cause it to have different colors. Chromium gives rubies their red color, while titanium and iron give sapphires their blue color and pure corundum is clear
Ryan, I am in on this 3rd round for a ZX. On your website, it says the balls are "[3MM Lab Cultured Rubies]". So, what is the difference between cultured rubies and pure sapphire? Including any difference in performance? Many thanks!

They are the same material - same chemical composition. There are trace materials present that cause coloration. The actual gem is the same. Ruby typically refers to with chromium. The trace materials have no impact on thermal performance. It's visual.

Do the sapphires glow under blacklight, too?
Sorry I thought I edited that on the website last round but it might have been on the ZXL page.
Sapphire is the same exact material (crystalline aluminum oxide) just technically a little bit more pure. Some people tell me they think the sapphires taste better, but it’s the same material.
Performance is essentially the same but sapphires are what I use on my personal vapes for whatever reason, so I decided this year to start sending them out like that. The ZXLs all have sapphires as well.
