I contacted vapexhale and picked up a few ez bowls and Ive been playing around with them on a few of my vapes.
Here is an 18mm gong stem(its an EQ heater cover cut and flame polished) which i received as an spare for my ecano mod from Planetvape a few weeks back.thanks planetvape
.Im getting great vapor.
the issue I had from the outset is the cloud ez bowl is a loose fit in an 18mm glass gong tube so I worked it out and made an adapter to seal and hold the ezbowl securely into the glass stem and then an insert was added to hold it securely onto the Hi 10mm heater tube interference fit.the stem is a little loose on the heater tube when cold but a nice firm fit when its at operating temps.
the beauty is It allows the hi heater tube to slide down into the ez bowl as you vape so the heat is close to the material at all times as it reduces.the ezbowl being inside the stainless tube creates some conduction too during heat up adding to vapor production.It also has a tight seal around the heater tube so no unnecessary air is drawn in around the seal between the heater tube and the stem.the stem can be inverted upside down without any risk of it falling off but can be removed with a gentle pull between hits to stop material cooking.the hi heater tube is only in contact with the taper end of the upper shim so in essence the heater tube floats inside the ez bowl.anyways some pics.
the 4 parts to the mod
the ez bowl in the gong.the reducing shim is pressed into the top of the easy bowl.The SS i ve used is strong 0.3 mm thick so doesn t soak up unnecessary heat from Alans resistor.
this is where the bowl sits on a fresh bowl.
the finishing position and the hi heater tube is bottoming out on the bottom of the ez bowl.
Its a good combo with my glass and the taste is there.I originally just dropped my hi into the lid of the ezbowl but i found I lost out on performance vaping through two screens.so I dumped the ezbowl lid and looked at immersing the Hi heater tube inside the ezbowl with the help of an open shim.there is plenty of air getting into the Hi although it looks like their isn t
Yep i know the psu is upside down Doh!
Happy Anniversary Alan
