Friday's should be dedicated to research. Cheers homie!Hope everyone is having a good morning
Probably be in the vape lab all day, lots of research over here to build better vapes! That's what it's all about!
Yes, you will get burned if you try and grab the coil with your bare hands.

In a perfect world, when would you like to start offering Inversion Vape to the public?
best seat in the house IMO! 
It would be cool to get it out soon, but I might try another prototype with a few small revisions first.
I need to get the bowl sorted out, the vape works really good as is, and the fact remains that people will be able to use a simple F to M adapter to make this vape work in case of a vape emergency which is nice. I broke one bowl at my buddies house when pulling the heater off because the ground glass joints stuck together and it took the bowl along with it; such is life with a glass vape!
I'm thinking if I have the joint cut in half that will reduce a lot of the contact points where they stick, and potentially I could have the bowl made with an unground glass joint to help minimize that further, which is kind of what I'm thinking of doing to ensure that nice HD view of the greenery
Once I find or build the right bowl, I can get some nice screens for it and that part will be done.
For the heater I might try having a little lip put inside where the joint and tubing are joined that the SS screen could sit on, just to help lock the beads in place. I'd still like to replace the SS screen with a glass implement though, ideally.
I'm also thinking of trying a smaller 3mm air inlet, I don't think it would change the airflow much based on testing this one, and then I could probably eliminate the 6mm beads entirely.
Hopefully we can get this COVID behind us all and get back to normal, once I can start getting parts built again things should start moving along pretty quickly. But if things stay the way they are going and I keep tinkering with new ideas, I might have a whole new vape to build by the time everything is up and running again
Yes!
That's the main thing people don't like about these kind of vapes (and I totally understand too) so it was always going to be a very niche product, it's mostly aimed at the hardcore vaporist that already has enails and stuff and is used to exposed coils.
People don't like the exposed coils for safety reasons, but the exposed coil is also used for purity reasons, since it keeps the hot conductive metal completely out of the air and vapor path. Just one of those catch-22's that comes with the design philosophy.
One of the tricky things about working with glass is its difficult to mount stuff to it (like heaters)
If I spent more time thinking about it, maybe I could figure out how to secure an enclosure around it and turn it into a log vape or something. One cool thing about the current configuration is since its glass and pure convection, you can just leave the whole thing sitting on your rig, which gives it an extremely compact form factor for a desktop vaporizer.
The way I see it is I can't stop cooking just because I've been burned by the oven a few times!
One thing that I struggle with in my profession is "analysis paralysis". I look at something, analyze, second guess, analyze again, tweak a couple things, analyze again, etc. It's lead me to work on a task for a full day, when I should have moved on after maybe 2 hours.
Not saying that you should put something out before you are 100% happy with the product. Simply saying that at some point, you gotta just go with something that is good for most. Cheers to the weekend homie!
It's kinda like - with these PID vapes you can go so high in temperature that the whole show is over so fast, so sometimes just turning the temp down a little bit gives you a lot more vapor to inhale. I also find lower temp vapor can be more "spicy" and have more of that "zing" for folks that want to feel that old school "took the wind out of me" sensation after a fat rip. Plus the flavor is crazy good at moderate temps, but you can turn it up so high that all the flavor is gone, I guess that's essentially the "slow smoking" temp region that HeadVripper Mark used to talk about.
Great hash rosin is one of my absolute favorites, it's the most expensive cannabis product per gram here in SoCal! The cleanliness really depends on the quality of the starting material (the hash) I've had hash rosin that was more gunky than flower rosin, and I've had hash rosin that is nearly as clean as purified solvent extracts with almost nothing to wipe away after a dab. My recent favorite is full melt water hash , I also find that full melt hash vaporizes at lower temps than any other concentrate or extract somehow...especially off my ruby or sapphire faceted insert.
The cream of the crop, IMHO!
Are you looking for something with big mesh or small mesh?
I was going to source some really nice multi layer woven screens for my bowls cause I like them to feel ultra sturdy. I feel like something with a pretty small mesh is important since some of the trichome heads that get knocked off in the grinder are really small and fall right through a larger opening.
For me, the end game is still a full glass bowl, but I still want to make the metal screened versions really good.
It's a rainy day so I figured I might as well Get Inverted!
It's pulling out the bowl directly to clear a hit, with the heater still attached, which leaves residual vapor in the bowl, hot air rises etc and it drifts up through the heater. It looks like it only condenses on the handle/air inlet though since the heater itself is hot.
Hope everyone is having a good morning

That's not even enough to GET INVERTED!
Well since I'm stress-testing the vape I'm all over the place with temperatures. Usually I tend to start out on the lower end and progressively go higher; ...and higher... throughout the course of the day
I'm rocking the Max Vapor controller all day!!
It takes more beads than I remembered too lol, it probably holds almost two-hundred 3mm beads!
I'm hanging out anywhere from 550F all the way to 800F. Again these numbers will drop on the final 20mm part as well. I would say my sweet spot is at 600-675 for a really nice mix of great vapor. Temp is a little tricky to guess with this vape cause I kinda feel like its pretty efficient. Maybe I'll make a video of killing a bowl at like 600F, and then show what going up to 700 does; it feels pretty effective at extracting at lower temps within a nice "broad spectrum." If I had to guess I'd probably say the 385-405F range? You don't have to take the ABV very dark with this vaporizer (though you certainly can!)
At 750-800 there's no real flavor to me, I guess this is the "slow smoking" range; if I've been vaping all day long and can't fall asleep those high temps are pretty effective though.
Anyways saying this because I definitely will be using ruby with this because of the color (much easier to not lose and the 4mm should easier to spot compared to 3mm) Just saying
Should known you were using Max Vapor due to your info in your list underneath your post.
I know different controllers perform different even with the same vape. I'll be using the 710 coils / DC controller (love how simple/small it looks) and 20mm tall coil so I guess ill just have to try different temps.
Also I agree flavor is very important to me these days. Now I do want my potent effects, but potent hits with pure flavor are just what im wanting. Also agree that those high temps are good for sleeP!
Im always ready for more Inversion videos!
The little 3D printed DC controllers look like a nice value, I really dig their small size, the MV is super small as well which keeps the vape station tidy.
Ruby pearls are easy to find with an led light since they have a powerful glow, I've found some in my carpet that way that have popped out of my dab rig
I keep the MaxVapor powered up about 16 hours a day, going nonstop lately to stress test this vape.
Tried to get a vid of the bowl during use, dumped more vapor than I was expecting, had to take a breather!
No worries homie, I'm sure the people you gave the glass spheres to were happy and are enjoying them.Im kicking myself for giving away a ton of extra glass spheres I had haha. They were glass so im not upset, but they would be nice to still have to experiment with.
No worries homie, I'm sure the people you gave the glass spheres too were happy and are enjoying them.
@invertedisdead keep the videos coming homie, always enjoy them.
I can't be undermining the bling factor advantage this has over other vapes; it's why I frequently wear the heater as a necklace 
I've not had any experience with different colored vapor. That would make me cautious of any vape that affected the color of the vapor, because what is it about the vape that changes the color of oil/water vapor, and why am I going to inhale it? To me, that means there is something foreign that I don't want to inhale.

Curious to hear other thoughts, but this might not be the place on that discussion.
Vapor is plant oils and water. What would make it blue?
