Stoked that the ZXL might be back. Really enjoying the ZX and am so tempted to acquire the ZXL as well. Anyone else have both and would like to give a comment and/or recommendation as to whether the ZXL would have a place in my arsenal? (For reference I also have the Screwball when I want to do bigger bowls). Cheers!

I think @coolbreeze may have both. He might be able to tell you more about the ZXL. But since you already have a Screwball I see no point in getting the ZXL. Unless you just want a native 18mm ceramic zirconia vape for better flavor. The ZXL is basically the big brother to the ZX it's just a wired version of the ZX on a bigger scale to fit 18mm glass joints.

It would compete with the Screwball but it's loaded with ZX magic. It does lower temps really well and the flavor is amazing, as good as the ZX or better. It's probably as powerful as the Screwball but its natural spot might be between that and the ZX because of that low-temp flavor awesomeness. If you have the cash and inclination, go for it--it's certainly one of the finest vapes I've tried.
Perfect timing!
Appreciate the recommendation my friend! Gracias!
There is some consideration to go up to a ~25MM size, like a torched banger, and build a huge bowl.
Right now the current full quartz design is using an 18MM heater and the bowl is about the same volume as the ZXL's bowl, which should hold about 0.5g at max capacity.
There's also the idea of just starting with the 18.8MM and if the design proves successful other sizes could likely be worked out easy enough.
Here's a pull in just the half bowl position
Almost all the ZXL owners also own a ZX so maybe some other folks will chime in later.
I definitely have a few emails of folks telling me those are the only two vapes they use anymore.
There's also still some considerations of doing the 16MM bodied ZXL (based on the InVerzion 1.7, my last glass/quartz coil design)
But I do know there's a pretty strong perception that "bigger = better" with these ball vapes and I don't want to scare people away with the efficiency!
I personally think this is a very cool design!

Salute to the entire Z Team, appreciate you all!

In some ways this is your dilemma. I'm perfectly content with my ZX and it has killed BVAS completely. All I need now is the tripledecker bowl and I'm done.But I do know there's a pretty strong perception that "bigger = better" with these ball vapes and I don't want to scare people away with the efficiency!

I love my ZXL just as much as I love my ZX. I use the ZX a little more often because of the insane efficiency but if you ever feel like you want a larger ZX bowl then the ZXL is exactly what you desire. I think it tastes a smidge better than the ZX but my gosh it's close.
I can't wait to compare the ZXXL to both of them soon!

@invertedisdead you have shared the 16MM bodied ZXL render before, and I also think its an awesome design! Would love to see this one come to life, however, in my mind this would def replace the ZXL from a product mix standpoint. If you just re-release the proven ZXL design, and then began offering this tapered bowl tho… that would be an awesome add-on to pair the ZXL down to 14mm glass, and if you ever decided to phase out the ZXL design, then you already have the bowl launched. Just some food for thought.
That being said i want all of them regardless lol. I have a ZX and ZXXL on order. Still an unseasoned member of thread so to speak.

Busy vaping...
I like the idea of the tapered bowl. I mainly have 14mm glass but also want to take biggers hits then the zx allows some times. I missed the zxxl pre order but would probably grab one if you did another run. A 14mm bowl for that would also be cool.There's also still some considerations of doing the 16MM bodied ZXL (based on the InVerzion 1.7, my last glass/quartz coil design)

Looking forward to what 2025 brings.
The ZX brings out the delicate aromas and flavors better but at times I am looking for a bigger bowl capacity. While the ZXL allows me to take bigger hits and the sweet spot in terms of potency and effect with less flavorful follow up hits.

16mm bodied zxl yes please I’m a grower not a shower, less is more ,David not Goliath imo bigger is just bigger definitely not better. If I want more, I just hit the ZX back to back with two different strains.

Honestly, the vape from my past that I miss the most is the quartz 1.7 I was offered over with a 110v coil but didn't want to risk separating it from the coil for my voltage so I passed. Even though I have a 20mm ZXL I'd grab the zx7 (sorry Ryan, couldn't resist naming it lol) in a heartbeat.
