The Screwball by Vapvana

[Rodney]

I have started to use my Screwball today after not using it for a month or so. I am running it at 280C threw a small water bubbler. Was running it at 230 then 260 but for me it works much better at 280C.

I will still use my Dani Fusion 2 and TA3 but for the next bit will be testing with this.

FWIW I'm loving mine. No issues with the screen falling out for me either.

Replaced my screen with another (supplied!) and have not had any issues. Chalking it up to a funky initial screen.

Update on my Ace and the Ace heater post
"Sorry about the delay, but we did not receive the parts like we expected, we only received more kits. Cal is in touch with manufacturing to determine when we will receive the parts and he is planning to send an email when he knows more."

Just trying to stay patient here.

Also have not received shipping info yet, nor any communication. Going to reach out to them again but the repeated date changes communicated only at last minute are not confidence inspiring.

Warranty Ace bowl arrived and the screen issue is resolved. The new bowl holds all of the Vapvana supplied screens, new and old, snugly. The original bowl must have had a larger inner diameter than desired spec.

I've been really happy with the Ace and post-purchase customer care one week into ownership. Since my last post I've been playing with lower temps (~210*C) to see how the experience compares with S&B products: better taste, smoother, and a much more efficient end to end process -- if preheated.

Anyone taking notes on how long they wait to hit their first bowl after startup? I've been giving it 10-20 min.

I've been doing 15min for preheats. I just got the pinch hitter bowl today, and for me its a game changer. Amazing flavorful one and done rips.

I'd been back and forth on the Ace kit. On one hand, Vapvana sell amazing stuff, but on the other hand it can be tough to support their customer service.

Thankfully my favourite local seller here in Australia had the kits - along with the Crossing Wireless head on it's own, which fits the hot hole perfectly - so I was able to feel good about buying it from a service perspective.

One question for people that already have it - could you suggest a good temp starting point for the quartz banger?

Update received today:
"Unfortunately we are still waiting to receive all the Ace Accessories & 220v Kits from the pre-order. Our manufacturer communicated that everything remaining will ship this week, and we will ship out the remaining pre-orders ASAP after the shipment lands.

I apologize for the unexpected delays. If anyone would like a refund please respond here with your order #. We are also able to update your order to a complete kit at a discounted price if you'd prefer that.

Thank you again for your patience ..."

I plan to be patient. I did ask about the discount for the kit out of curiosity. I don't have much use for the wood, but some of the other parts I may be able to use like the heater coil in my own custom rig. I am really excited to try out the Ace and hope it arrives sooner than later.

@jaanky or @hirmando what was the presale price of the ace kit? Just trying to get some context for the discount @Grow Goddess mentioned.

I was told 389, plus the coupon code you used applied, then they remove the heater and adjust the invoice. I asked to see one to see what that actually looks like if I get an update I'll post it for yah

Thanks I got same info, but I’m trying to figure out if that 389 is the same I would’ve paid for a kit back in August when I ordered the heater alone.

I paid $378 out the door.
