I will do so, thank you! Hehe... the whip costs more than the Mega Cube bong. :) C'est la vie.

It's soooo worth. I'm using my solo 3 with the mega globe flat earth without any water . Obviously not as hard hitting as a ball vape but I feel the whip genuinely transforms that device. It allows for truly maxing out the device with a strong inhale. Your not gonna out breathe the pinch hitter but you will be able to one inhale extract your entire bowl, easily if you heat soak. Its easily 2x maybe even 3x better than the included whip.

The Vapvana Pinch Hitter that I ordered on Sep 12 arrived today on Sep 20. It looks great! I'll try it soon.

I've been enjoying my Pinch Hitter. I got a Ruby Twist at the same time (won't go into comparisons but I find them very comparable.)

Things I like:
  • The bowl is the perfect size for .05g. I have been measuring out .05g and it covers the space perfectly with a light pack.
  • I started at 560F. This was a fairly light roast for me. I've settled at 600 to 610 which provides an even dark roast.
  • The airflow is wide open with either the 14mm or 18mm glass attachment.
  • I haven't had any issues removing the glass attachments from the bowl.
Things I don't like:
  • I had to adjust the coil guard so I can see if the bowl is flush with the heater. It still requires me to hold it in place for best results.
  • At lower temps, like 560F, the edges weren't cooking as completely. Not sure why, but upping the temperature has helped.
  • The handle, while perfectly functional, isn't very aesthetically pleasing... I swapped it out for a wood one from Aliexpress which is much nicer but I need to find a way to better hold it in place.
Overall, I'd recommend it if you microdose and want to get the most out of small amounts. I am excited to see how and if it develops especially in comparison with the Ruby Twist which uses many of the same components, but has a different style heater head.

The Pinch Hitter Coil Guard (Early Adopter Replacement) are available. Ask in Vapvana site chat
if you have not been E-mailed with a $0.00 invoice for one.

The power went out during the Florida Helene hurricane. I had to default to my Dynavap B Helix tip
and Ispire SKC till the CCD got clogged. Then my RBT milaana 3, Splinter, Z and Roffu. Draw resistances
are higher. The skills put me to work as well as the cleanings. After a few hours I was on my BSS flame
powered vape just for the instant hits that are similar in intensity. The power came on, I resumed my
Pinch Hitting low draw resistance potent easy small puff pulls. I am back to the fast, toasty, and smack
me silly full effortless one hit wonders. I pimped out my coil handle with Tourna sticky real leather
grip tape :) It feels firmer when pressing on the bowl. The head stays put and the wire secured.

Why is this thing so large if it just vapes 0.1g? Even the handle is unnecessarily large.

Do you have intentions to improve the design?

When I compare my Pinch Hitter to other wired ball vapes with safety shields it seems right in line in terms of size. The only feature that does seem a little bulky is the handle. Vapvana has a nice collection of accessories, perhaps they could offer some customization there too, but as a low cost "entry" into the scene this thing strikes a near perfect balance.
