2 things.
Put a link to this thread prominately on your web site.
Maybe integrate an email option for your register users to get your posts here emailed to them. Like the "Grow Weed Easy" site does with their weekly newsletter.
(sorry, i lied) My ZX is still my at home daily, I've been experimenting with a olivewood DFreez One bowl while I'm excitedly awaiting the new ZX bowl. It's an interesting experience (after breaking the wood in), even my antique, abused tastebuds can tell the difference.
Anywho, have a delightful holiday, however you celebrate, and funkadelic new year.

Very excited to hear about the ZXXL. I can't wait to use mine when it arrives. @invertedisdead
Thanks so much for following along!
There’s a Mail Chimp email sign up on the website I had added as a third party solution, as my ecommerce platform originally only allowed email collection from actual orders placed. The mailing list query should pop up after a few seconds, but I think if you close it out and your cookies aren’t cleared it might not pop up again, so it’s not perfect.
I have to admit I’ve never actually sent out a mass email blast. I know a lot of companies go way overboard with that and it gets annoying over time - so I’ve ultimately refrained thus far, but I recognize it would be really useful for sending out progress reports in these preorders or new product alerts, especially for people not following the thread.
thanks so much for your patience,I’m definitely stoked to see some progress being made.
When I finally created the website to launch my first official PHASE3 design, the Z8 (the original zirconia ceramic desktop) the product page had a link to this thread and a bunch of information and photos showing the evolution and history of these designs, started from my first glass prototypes, to my quartz designs, and describing the backstory of PHASE3.
During the PACT scare when everyone was removing, renaming, and rebranding I ended up removing all references to anything “V” related. Fast forward and it’s been recently brought to my attention by a web professional and fellow customer that my website doesn’t have any SEO optimization, as I removed all references to the terms and keywords which would be used to find my products and website during the PACT purge.
I absolutely have to get this website fixed and redone for the new year.
Incredibly delighted to hear the ZX is still your main squeeze at home! Such an amazing feeling to see folks preferring my products, especially reading the 2024 Most Reached For thread - it always inspires me to see the public support, and really makes me want to keep pushing for development of the vaping scene.
Thanks a ton for the kind wishes friend!
Can’t wait to get those new ZX bowls wrapped up and sent out to you all, thank you so much for rocking with me!
I’m beyond stoked to get them out to you kind supporters, thanks to all of you supporting the vision and the dream!
Appreciate all of you passionate enthusiasts who see the value and appeal in supporting ultra pure non metallic vaping products!!!
Hope everyone is off to a good start this week, jumping into some emails this morning and back to work on new designs.

Ah, I'm using all sorts of ad-blockers, so that must be why I missed it. I'll see if I can finagle a way to see it, and if not I'll be following along here. Thanks so much!
On Discord Red says he has some Black single units and he was going to do some prebuilts. Probably get more eyes on it in that thread or DMing Red directly:
The Advanced Telemetry Module by REFC Labs - The world's first advanced precision & multi-core capable desktop heater controller
Thanks mate, thats the easiest solution for sure :) Think the one you linked is actually identical on both ends, but I get the idea. The comments on Amazon make it confusing. Some say it has different ends, others say both sides fit both size connections. 🤷♂️

I'm sure you know this but the ATM is a VVPS and is not something you would use with a ZX.

@invertedisdead From your testing can you tell me how long it would take the ZXXL to heat up to 550 degrees? Thank you,
You’re going to want to heat soak for at least 5 minutes for the initial heatup as it’s super heavy to maximize wireless heat retention and that phat bowl
Cheers to everyone following along, I’m going to try and post an update later for 2025 plans, future products, and ZX/ZXXL updates.
Thanks all,

I am super excited for my upcoming zx! I was wondering if heat soaking the bowl is a thing with the zx? or if it doesn't really matter since its all going to be extracted so fast anyway?
Thanks a ton for rocking with me friend!
I've played around with it but the ZX bowl will never get hot enough to vaporize your herbs through conduction, so heat soaking the bowl is not necessary.
It might milk up a rig a fraction quicker so maybe I'd do it for a video clip but overall it's not needed to get an excellent experience.
The ZXXL is my only model meant to get the bowl section hot enough to add minor conduction on the outer perimeter of the material.

You can heat the bowl up with another, much hotter, head to get it hotter than just a heat soak with the zx at normal vaping temp. I'm honestly not sure how much benefit you get from doing this though.
What I've found with my wireless zx experiments is that there isn't enough mass to make a second hit satisfying, so use it as intended as a one hitter without a clean up hit. Sadly though, I have a problem where I always need to fill a bowl, so in this instance a heated bowl will make a difference to the second, or clean up hit due to less energy being lost to the bowl. I do think it adds a little more sedation, but it's not really that dramatic and I don't think people are missing out.
I'm very much looking forward to the zxxl with the designed heat soak though. Hopefully that will make a more dramatic difference, even if I will always prefer pure convection at any other time of day than just before sleep.

Just for the tinkerers: You can reduce the efficiency of the heater head by substituting the 3MM sapphires for larger or less efficient gems like, say, zirconia; this will require a higher set point to achieve the same air temperatures, and will allow more heat transfer directly to the bowl.
That being said, changing the beads will also modify the convective properties as well, so it’s not a perfect solution, but it is an interesting experiment.

Salute to the entire univerZe for holding it down, I greatly appreciate everyone’s patience and support!
In the spirit of “Good things come to those who wait”
Here’s the first official sneak peak at the new PHASE3 ZXXL
What’s left to do?
The handles shown above are the handles for the bowl; the heater handles need to be sent out for their wooden handle to complete this kit and ensure a perfect fit. These are totally done other than waiting on the wooden heater handle.
Right now I’m just waiting on the ZX’s and 3 shelf bowls to be completed. My manufacturer finished the ZX’s just over a week ago, but during final inspection they informed me that there was a programming error which affected some key tolerances.
Replacements are in production right now and I’m told they should be completed around Jan 10. Everything should still be shipping out this month but will likely be closer to the end of the month as I still will need to clear customs, sort, assemble, photograph, packaged, process, and mail everything by myself.
Thank you kindly for everyone’s patience and cooperation
What’s coming from PHASE3 in 2025?
- ZXL relaunch starting up as soon as these ZXXL’s go out, if you’ve been hoping for those to resurface keep your eyes peeled for that!
- ZXXL’s will return pending interest/demand, I’ve been getting some messages asking about the next round so that’s a good sign. Hoping the official launch drums up enough interest to do more of them.
- Handheld thermal battery type vape is still in development and will need at least another revision. There’s been some considerations in converting this to more of a hybrid experience than the current pure conduction prototype. The conduction only design may get ported over to a microdose specific concept meant to maximize efficiency with your stash and your lighter. TBD. Despite the popularity of this category it doesn’t represent my main consumption style so plan on this one taking longer.
- New 100% quartz vape…
This is what PHASE3 specializes in: ultra pure convection based extraction made possible by brand new PHASE3 high surface area technology; marking our full circle return to where we started, pushing the boundaries in glass and quartz.
Possibly some accessories for some of your other favorite vaporizers
And maybe one really high end, small batch, boutique “passion project” device to round out the year.Thanks again to everyone reading and supporting who makes this possible, appreciate you all following along for the journey, and let’s all have a healthy, happy, and herby new year.
Kind regards friends,

So I'm thinking the zxxl should be arriving by February at the soonest. Would that be an accurate assumption?

Just in time for that young tax return
can't wait to get my zx/xxl in feb(based on your timetable approximations)- Handheld thermal battery type vape is still in development and will need at least another revision.

also very much looking forward to see what develops of these, personally i prefer a convection focus more than conduction so a hybrid would appeal more to me though i prob wouldve been interested regardless, i think right now if i could get essentially a tempest with an entirely glass/zirc airpath and an induction sleeve or something to allow it to work with an ih heater as well as torch id be ecstatic i think thats my dream device for that style/size. 100% quartz vape seems quite interesting as a result as well though no clue what form factor/style youre looking at for that.
while im certainly interested in other accessories, esp if theyre for something i have or wouldnt mind getting. i am very very curious to see what this passion project device is though, and hopefully will get in on that, as based on your history its probably something id like.
looking forward to more updates on whats coming down the pipeline. feels like any time you post an update or new idea/plans my brain just goes
@invertedisdead what wood did you go with for the handles?
For the record: Very interested in a zxxl if they become available again.Just for the tinkerers: You can reduce the efficiency of the heater head by substituting the 3MM sapphires for larger or less efficient gems like, say, zirconia; this will require a higher set point to achieve the same air temperatures, and will allow more heat transfer directly to the bowl.

Thank you Z Team for holding it down!!
The goal is definitely still to get them sent out this month, but I won't sacrifice the quality after all this wait just for a few more weeks if that absolutely has to happen.
Again I appreciate everyone's patience, learned a lot from this project and had a lot of my own personal delays that really pushed this one back. looking to move up the timelines as much as I can for this new year so thank you all kindly for your sincere cooperation!
My very first sapphire ball vaporizer design over 5 years ago was pretty much exactly that. An all glass/sapphire handheld vape.
I used to have a photo of it, I thought there was one in this thread even but I can't seem to find it anymore.
But in the end I figured nobody would ever buy a vape that needed a big blowtorch to heat up, so I moved on to developing these coil powered designs.
Whoops!
Mine was much more like a joint experience than these other handheld vapes which I consider to be more analogous to a one hitter.
It's a super heavy one
Photos soon
Still keeping the theme of most of my work being based around glass / water pipe / bong hit type experiences
Also still considering sizes...... current design is based around a 18MM heater head, but I'm a little curious about blowing it up and going larger to try and do something really unique and potent for heavier bong smokers who are looking to try vaping. TBD! Seeing popular dab gear companies selling flower vapes, I'm hopeful that gets more people interested in this scene!
Appreciate your interest friend, thanks for following along -
I'm optimistic the demand holds so that I can build more of them this year!

If I wasn't already a fan you would have just won me over. This was me for SO many years. I've been trying to get converted from smoking to vaping on and off since the 2000's and only finally managed it last year. This not only sounds awesome but could genuinely help even more people finally be able to stop destroying their lungs.
