There is a glass version that fits a 20mm coil.

Got my last bits to put this together, Auber rdk300 with Auber coil, 4mm quartz beads. Holy hell this vape slaps! I had fun with the highlighter diy kit but that vape just isn’t my jam really and I never liked the coil on a elev8r compared to native torch mode, but this pinky is perfect and I have some random bowls that are working great, a old bubble style flower slide that fits a 1/2 basket screen and seals perfect and a heady horn slide that fits a basket or weirdly the metal bowl from a vleaf go that’s working wildly well for hash. So far after testing my ending temp was 555 I’m curious what temps others are rolling with. Time to make a little handle and stand and call it done. I feel like I might finally get my money’s worth out of that Auber lol I got it for the elv8r and a enail and then just realized I like torches better for dabs and the elev8r.

Nice! I saw a great handle idea on r/vaportent here. Using a 3d printed handle wrapped in some paracord, pretty neat.

The seal isn’t so great so don’t think works so well at least not for me.
Works great on the flip and noisy cricket

Hello, i am looking for a alternative for the inspire wand banger, im EU based i would love to know the size i need to insert a pinky ,, hehe
How different is it to the DC-elev8r? I love mine with the balls and wonder if building one of these would be worth it.
Also, has anyone tried it with a Eleva8r bowl?

Just wanted to come back and update everyone now that I've built my Pinky. My part list has the wrong screens linked. The 3/4" I got from eBay and the 1/2" basket I didn't find a good UK source for but thankfully already had a couple lying around. Follow vaporoufixtras's advice for sourcing those.
She rips and seems to offer more flavour over my showerhead B1 combo. The only hard part is getting the coil on, my Nozzle seemed real stubborn, ripped my hands to bits twisting that in there.
Final advice... get some spares. No doubt a friend or two will want one

I know there is a guy on reddit that used a longer nozzle with the same width that make it fit more "conventionnal" injector bowls such as the el8vr bowl and the like. Maybe that could be an avenue for you.

I made the brain using a borosilicate cup. I found using a tinymight basket screen pushed together with the rimed screen provides a more positive fit and gave a nice “click” when pushed in tight.

hi, nice man, what kind of bowl do you use with it?

That’s a Elev8r bowl my friend.
I did try the ispire bowl as well but it didn’t fit when using the glass welding cup.

did you do anything to keep the coil on the glass as both materials may expand at different rates?

Is that what is holding the beads in place? Do you have any pictures of the screen outside the glass and/or as it is ready to be inserted? It doesn't seem very secure, how would you judge the risk of a hot ball disaster?

Hey man, I'm EU based too. Why are you looking for an alternative, do you want a specific design or because of cost? Because you can get it delivered for 30€ from LCV, even cheaper than VGoodiEZ.

hi yes i could order that one , but i would like to keep it under 10 bucks, i wanna make it as cheap as possible just for the hell of it , hahah

A little hard to do that I think. Most EU shops charge over 10€ just for shipping. You might try looking on dhg or asking on the 420vapezone discord.

No, I had to tighten my coil a little but that’s it. I’ve been using for for two weeks now and had no movement, it’s still nice a tight.
I’ve found it to be secure, I’ve given it a fair few test taps and not been able to make it pop out. It’s wedged in there pretty tight, I don’t see it ever being an issue. Sorry no photos as I keep forgetting to take one before heating it up! Lol but it’s just a standard rimmed basket screen (like original instructions you kinda squish it) then I’ve just added extra rimless basket almost like shim. This giving me a nice click tight fit. Honesty you have to whack it hard af to get the thing to come out

You should be proud!
The simplicity, dimensions, and function are ideal.
Hi Vitolo. I'm looking for a stand and the idea of cigar ashtrays crossed my mind. I see you're using an ashtray too, what material is that? Does the hot part of the coil ever come in contact with it?

The Ashtray is made of Bakelite, which is the hard black plastic compound used for old liquid medicine jars (ie: cough syrup), as well as handles for Cookware.
Choice 4 1/4" x 1 3/4" Black Plastic Ashtray - 12/Pack
This Choice 4 1/4" x 1 3/4" black plastic ashtray is excellent for any bar or outdoor patio that accommodates smoking customers. Constructed from Bakelite, this ashtray is easy to clean, as well as heat and break-resistant. Its sleek, black color allows it to blend discreetly with your decor...
While it does not burn, I am taking no chance here, as I only rest the wooden handle on this ashtray. There is a heavy stone in the ashtray holding it solidly weighted in it's position so that the coil stays put. Prior to the stone, I used the cigarette notches to hold the coil... without damage, but I felt insecure about the weight. Pinky is a light weight tool. The stone balances the equation.

These are the bowls and the screens for each I’ve been using so far, the weird hard screen is from a vleaf go if I remember correctly 
, it sits deep in the heady slide and makes a nice little hash tunnel.
