Which ball do you guys prefer?
I tried default, boro, ss and mix of boro with ss and I still think default are the best :D
Brenyo knew what to put as the default ;)

I tried the SIC balls for a while, but I ended up swapping the zirc back in. One of these days when I have some sit around time to play with it I'm gonna try the glass and the steel just for fun. I think part of why I like the zirc best is I've gotten used to it and the timing...

For half bowl quick OHE I like SiC. One of my builds is that one fixed. For the full bowl one I'm not fully decided yet. Lately I've been enjoying ruby 2.5 and they aren't bad at all. I like them to start low temp and ramp up. Zirc are pretty good too, but I think I kind of like ruby better?

Still pretty much testing to do with the full bowl, I've tried Zirconia and Ruby in 2.5mm (SiC I like for half bowl better) and I also have some boro around that haven't tested yet. Soon I should have Zirc in 2 and 3mm too, has anyone tried them?

Tempest has made me go back to enjoy vaping flowers after years of only concentrates, love this thing.

Of cabbages and Kings.
Tried SiC which had good staying power but tended to combust just a wee bit too easy.
Tried Boro which I like with a loose packed full bowl when I want to take it close to the mark with fewer draws.
And the default Zirc's for a slightly denser packed bowl and not quite so roasted.

I've got 2 pests and now happy running Zirc in one and Boro in the other. Both do very nicely using the same Wand setting which is a major plus, but more to the point I think @cybrguy's comment about getting to know a particular setup is the main thing.

I too prefer the zirc, I guess there is a reason they are the default choice :D. Others I tried were steel and SiC but I felt steel impacted the taste negatively and with SiC it often got too close to combustion. I have to try it again some time though.

Just got Zirc 3mm and 2mm today. So far I have tried 3mm and I think we have a winner for the full bowl Tempest. But I will keep trying, for science :science:


I would say SiC 2.5mm for half bowl one heat extraction, and Zirc 3mm for full bowl are my favorite for now...
