Hey Steve - I called in the other day by my SSV has incredibly noises and ineffectual fan as well as the heat must be at3/4 with 1/2” of herb in the spherical beaded adappter. Anyways, long story short, some one was supposed to text me the address and it never came through. It sounds like you have some world class service, so I would like to have you check this out ‘cause it gets almost mono use these days. PM the address or here as you please.

Gosh I wish I had purchased one of these way sooner. It has been 3 days so far and I'm enjoying it more each day. Today we tried the bags for the first time. Were not expecting much as we love the volcano hybrid. Man do the bags taste great through the surfer. Quieter too! With this strain the vapor has been very smooth without water as well. Have not tried a different strain yet so this may vary. Maintenance seems straightforward.
Really becoming a big fan of this one. So impressed and I just doubted it for so long. Regret wasting the time, this one is great!

At this point I have purchased an LSV because I viewed it the same as the SSV and realize that was a mistake. We are also in talks of adding another SSV (or two) to our stable so we don't have to move this one room from room. Seriously I love this device. This is the hardest I have fallen for any vape and it just gets better each day.

Yeah, it's kind of a pain to carry desktop units back and forth. There aren't that many great flower portable vaporizers that hit all the notes, and they never seem to works as amazing as plug in vapes. Maybe it'll be developed sometime in the future.

A Tinymight is my best comparison to a desktop but really all it takes is a giant battery that can handle the heater. That's always the tradeoff to a portable at least with current battery tech. The new portable Flowerpot unit that runs off Milwaukee batteries looks like a good "portable" unit but it's still a tank. If those battery packs can power a portable tablesaw they can definitely handle a vape, someone just needs to adapt it properly.

I'd put torch powered vapes like the Lotus and Sticky Brick up there with desktops when it comes to gob smacking potency.

Will an arizer EQ basket screen or a minivap basket screen fit a flavor disc wand which are wider than the regular wands? I usually put one in my regular wand for microdosing hash and am now thinking of ordering a flavor disc wand.

The EQ basket fits but does not seat or sit in my spherical ground glass wand. I do not have a flavor disk wand unless that happens to be one and the same as the wand I do have. The basket is loose and slides around rather than sitting down snugly in the spherical wand. Sorry I can't be of more assistance.

After a bit of measuring my own wand and more importantly the screen that sits in it I believe that the wand that I have is the same size as the flavor disc wand as it too has a screen which is about 20 mm wide. The arizer dome screen sits as you’ve described so you may have the same size wand.
If the flavor disc wand should turn out to be too wide I think that I’ll cut the rim of the basket a couple to a few times and bend the cut rim outwards to hold it in place. I might even try it anyway to see if I end up with a dome screen that sits snugly in place.

I tried for a while to find a screen that would sit nicely into the spherical wand and the best I could come up with was this:
This is with the older (non-flavordisk) spherical style. I have inquired and they don't make them in this size any more. I never really stuck with this mod as it was a bit of a pain to manage.
I'd love to hear of any mods others have done to shrink the bowl size!

I have a basket screen that sits a bit deeper and therefore more secure than the arizer one but it seems as the extra millimeters grom the bottom of the basket to the heater takes away from the powerful extracrion of the arizer ones that sit closer. You can pack more in though. I believe that they’re minivap ones.
I dislike the plastic and silicone of whips and was going to put one or two centimeters of medical silicone tubing to the end of the wand to make a seal when held against the bowl of a bong but since I’m trying to move away from silicone I think that I’ll just sealed it by holding a finger around it. The wand gets hot and would heat the silicone anyway.
The SSV seems to be popular for use with bongs and especially big bongs, am I right? I see how it would be.
What are the details of the stock vinyl whip? What formula is it?
Has anyone tried measuring the heat at different % of power? I am aware that it might be inaccurate due to individual heater placement but it would still be useful.
I recently bought my SSV and am still getting familiar with it. So far my preferred use is with a smallish to medium sized bong but I will soon try it with a big bong. I think that a small bubbler would going to be my preferred method or at least my daily driver for microdosing.

Hello Concerned Mother
I am a fan of squashing basket screens to make them fit tighter or make them shallower. I tend to use stems whenever possible, but with the virus thing we are using whips and glass pieces. The preferred pieces around here are a dry 10" straight tube bong and a dry 4 1/2" globe. The biggest piece I have used with success with my Surfer has been a 17 1/2" straight tube with a 1 1/4" bore. For minuscule loads (.05 g to .03 g) I use DDave capped screens in one of his stems. Sorry about my rambling, but it's been real busy. : )

I have no visual reference as I’m using the basket screen mod and am mainly microdosing anyway. I am also trying to get a vapor that will be the least irritating to lungs and air ways so I’d like water filtering. So I’m just a little hesitant towards buying the all glass vapor path wand.
I should try the squashing thing with a basket screen as well. My smaller bong was in a pretty dodgy condition when I bought it second hand and uses a common rubber grommet so I would’nt mind replacing it when I find a nice replacement. It’s one of those cheap indian bongs that come in a box. At the very least I’d need silicone grommets but would prefer glass joints and quality glass. I love the curved neck though, as it keeps water from splashing on me when taking powerful drags. I should recieve an 18” beaker bong next week and will try sealing it with my hand and clearing it in 2-3 smaller drags for my regular daily driver use as I don’t want to put my lungs to a daily, constant challenge.
I am wary of ddaves products as he supposedly sells china glass, which I try to avoid. But then again, does’nt elev8 use chinese glass for their products as well?
That’s okay, I kind of feel like my posts are kind of rambling as well.

Our second super surfer has been here for about 2.5 weeks or so now. This one required a little fiddling out of the box and it is working just as beautifully as our other older model. The ceramic rod was too high, took me a day or two of wondering why it needed to be run so much hotter to achieve similar results. Also before I realized what was happening the ceramic rod was preventing the glass heater cover from seating all the way down. This meant the glass cover was very loose and I was accidentally shifting it with the handpiece of the whip! Once my pea brain finally realized what was up it took about 10 seconds to get the rod where it should be and it has been fantastic since.
I love that the newer units do not clip the glass heater cover down with the silver metal piece at the back. This makes it easier to remove the heater cover for cleaning etc. I chose black tubing for the whip and it looks very nice and does not collect fur, hair, or lint. I also got the dabbing kit, shockingly I have not tried it yet. Plain ole herb has been good enough for me for the past few weeks apparently! Everything arrived quickly and very well packaged(7th floors dime bags are so cool!).
I really dislike the new style bag system. In my opinion it is just plain worse in every way. Our old one has the little metal "gate" that you spin with a small metal handle in the bag mouthpiece in order to open and close the mouthpiece. The newer version has a glass piece that you slide in and out of a silicone tube to open and close the mouthpiece. This silicone sleeve collects lint and dust like crazy. It feels gross to the touch. It is harder to assemble. The only advantages I can think of are no metal in the airway(debatable anyway as there are metal screens at the bottom and no doubt much more in the unit itself) and I could see the older style ones with the metal "gate" gunking up and eventually breaking if abused without cleaning for too long.
Curious to hear what others think about the bag setup. I tried the new style bag out for 2 days and doubt it will get used again. The older version is much easier in my opinion.
The super surfer is very much an end game vape. It's been about 2 months I think since I got my first unit and since then I have had no VAS. Aside from getting another surfer and the LSV in the hopes it would perform like the surfer. Personally I don't count that as VAS because all I was after was more of the same proven device, not lusting after the next cool new thing!
7th Floor has a lifelong customer in me, kick myself everyday for not trying this one out sooner.

I have a new SSV but the heater cover and wand was broken in transit. Can someone give me feedback on what their favorite glass cover (standard, conical or spherical). I actually have the spherical for my LSV.
has anyone tried this (they mentioned it as a replacement for loading all those terp balls)

I don't own one of those but I've seen feedback from people saying it doesn't do much. In my opinion there isn't enough mass there to hold a useful amount of heat. I've had no problems or concerns with the ruby ball mod.I have a new SSV but the heater cover and wand was broken in transit.
