:love: They did a true ball head.
Maybe I will use again my old SSV I used during 8 years.
Drawback of this vap : a lot thinks to dismount and wash and this fucking pipe that keep smells.

The Baller Series is here for the SSV!

Also, here is some info on us

Hoping they'll get the DBV ones made soon!
2-3 weeks and we should have it

Hello, Friends! Long-time SSV user here (had mine for over 10 years now). So proud of this little thing. What an amazing company and product.

My question is though, for the first time after all these years, I bought some replacement tubing because it's the only part that's difficult to clean fully. I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089YGDB55?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 . Supposedly food-grade and safe. I think I saw it linked from this forum somewhere also.

The issue is that I received the tubing and it has a strong smell to it? Is that safe? What did you guys do to remove that smell from the tubing? It's quite strong if you pull through air through the tube with your mouth, or smell it.
Buy our tubing. It is made in American and made special for us so it is more flexible.

Hmmm...might finally be time for me to Get a spherical glass wand to go with one of these for my SSV in the near future.
Like me. I ordered in the same time the spherical wand.
I thought that there was a fat boy for this model, but I found nothing.

I have just seen on the website of eleven8 that the spherical wand is bigger now to accept the dish for oil.
I have also seen the ball head in action. I am a little bite afraid that the vap will be too agressiv because with the original head (without balls) I was at 8 for the setting heat. Maybe I will have to play with the quantity of balls and diameter (if 4mm balls fit). Let see when it will be at home.

This looks really cool! I just cleaned my SSV and coverted it to the spherical heater cover yesterday, can't wait to fire it up later!
I'm curious about how the new ball head impacts draw resistance - the SSV is super open, this must be a bit more restrictive? I tried to mod mine but i never got comfortable with how people were holding in their rubies at the top and didn't want to risk a burn.

Y'all need to let me know how this performs, I'm out of $ for vapes right now, but if this is worthwhile I'll be picking it up when I can!

FWIW, I did a ruby ball mod on my SSV and draw resistance was not affected. The balls only influenced temperature, not the vapor path.

I wonder if there was a bit of a philosophical gap about vaporization going on giving them pause from going to it sooner. That said, i really love the adaptability of the silver surfer as a vaporizer, so I'm glad to see them officially supporting it! I plan on grabbing one as soon as I get the funds set aside.

Looking forward to hearing initial impressions on it. It took them long enough to take advantage of the modification!
Word

I’ve been using a ball modified SSV and DBV for a couple of years. Troy had a YouTube episode showing people how to ball mod an SSV for free, essentially. I’d have thought Elev8 would have jumped on that mod sooner.

I have a standard wand SSV heater cover. I was about to switch to spherical (mostly to go full glass vapor path) , but now I'm wondering if it would worth it to go for the glass balls kit.
Given that I only vape dry herb and that I'm more than happy with the results, especially for a 10years old vape, is there any advantage to go for the balls?
I suppose it increase heat up time and maybe might push to combustion temp if not cautious...

Does it improve taste?
And if yes , is it better than the glass heater cover (that seems to give you a full glass airpath)?

Are long hit more consistent in term of vapor production (for the duration of a single hit) ?
