I can't remember all the designs from this thread but have you thought about a better Elev8R?
It seems like spiked glass already works well, it just needs to be designed with a coil in mind rather than as an afterthought. It also seems like it would be easier to manufacture than something that requires machining to close tolerances
That’s sort of what the 1.7 was positioned as, a purpose built ball head for coils. IMHO the dimples have little benefit in an enail coil setup though as the dimpling affects the roundness of the part which affects the coil contact/heat transfer.
I might just bring back the 1.7 with some minor modifications to eliminate the CNC component. I was thinking maybe slot or grid some inlets on top in lieu of the 7x holes. I had considered doing it that way with the CNC a while back, like two or three slotted inlets.
I came up with a novel way of heating a longer spiked tube in an even manner, which I think would be very effective, but it would have to be sized more for a completed consumer product, like an Evo type device.
On the other hand, I also have some possible improvements for the next generation of my Sand Castle Vapor Wand.

Its currently a DIY based on off the shelf parts like a quartz joint and beads, but I’ve had a dream to complete it into one unibody quartz heater with a CNC machined tip. IMHO the vapor wand has some real usability upgrades over other similar stored heat torch vapes by being much easier to get into the bowl, but I’ve been wanting to add a few more finishing touches to bump up the aesthetics. I realized the heater concept I posted a page ago should also work great for my SCVW. It also inspired a re-design of my InVection concept I’ve been tinkering with for a while.
Yeah I’m high-polar.... interestingly, even though it sounds like I have all these concepts, it’s really just a small handful of ideas, spread out across 400 iterations
your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
They were definitely talking about the next generation Vapor Wand!
