I love the design/look of it but it’s been a bit of shit show switching it around, mainly due to my own stupidity but it would be good to have a video showing how to do it for dummy’s like me.
Can’t really comment on comparing function to the older head but once I get this coil sorted I will.
Edit - Got it fitting a lot more snug now, thanks for the tip about wrapping the pliers in electrical tape, definitely helped by letting me apply more force, doing a burn off and then going to give it a rip.

I have a Screwball, a ZX, and now the updated bowl set.
I think I have all bases covered now for desktops

I'm a bit confused by the Pinch Hitter. It seems to be a whole new device that is only sold with its own PID
Why isnt there a "full set" that offers the Screwball and Pinch Hitter in a bundle, with 1 PID? That way you have a great setup for microdosing, and for bigger bowls
Am I being daft and missing something obvious here?

I'm a little confused too but looking at it again I'm not sure that it benefits a current Screwball owner who owns the hybrid micro bowl. It's a smaller matrix on the same sized diffuser if I'm not mistaken. It's probably more a dedicated minidoser, I think, tuned to roast smaller loads although it should also fit the regular bowl then, too. Cal also described it as "affordable as possible" so I think it's positioned to be entry-level. It's a great option but I think the SB and Microbowl have me covered? One possible benefit would be faster heat-up but that's probably somewhat marginal.
Edit: I will probably get one when they're offered by piece, I'd love to try it and see how they differ, etc.
I think you speak for all of us! ; )

PH hasn’t been released yet. Just announced here in the Upcoming & Unreleased thread Friday. He may sell separately or in a bundle in the near future

That makes sense, thanks @coolbreeze and @TedJones :-)

Still enjoying my SB. I've kept it on 430F pretty consistently but am trying higher temps now. I JUST now started tried dry bong hits and I totally didn't even think of this. (I don't really like water bongs, they hurt my throat bad for some reason and make me cough weird.) So this has solved my issue of bad coughs! I also turn it on and let it sit for maybe 1-2 minutes before hitting and I hold it on the bowl for maybe 10 seconds the first hit but after that just a few seconds preheat. I'm afraid of burning it, am I being too cautious?

I can leave mine in the bowl at 440 the whole time. It does get roasty, more than I like usually

If you mean you’re taking the first hit just a little after two minutes from when you turn on the coil, then yes. Those gems are still trying to warm up to equilibrium well after the PID shows temp reached. I like at least 8 minutes with this head. Yea, keep bumping up by 5 until you like the look of your roast without coughing

Is anyone using the screwball with the electropath?
How do you like it?
Does it minimize coughing?

So I put together the updated heater head. Not really difficult, had to massage the rubies a bit to get the right amount in and the upper screen on. Coil just slid onto the housing, no trouble. Question not addressed in the video or sheet by @Vapvana : do you need to do another burn off? If so what temp and timing?
