Vaphit Quartz Cap -

[Perfect_Speed4069]

out of curiosity, does anyone who owns a tempest or anvil or danivap etc thinks they offer anything substantially different than the vaphit?

I have the QC.,Tempest and Fusion. The QC is truly excellent and - like the other devices - can crush 0.1g very very quickly.

The key difference is portability: Both the Tempest and Fusion fit nicely in the QC case, alongside the QC, but unlike the QC, neither "needs" a case, and both will survive a 50 foot drop onto a hard floor.

Although both Fusion and Tempest have variable air flow, the QC is probably more open than either, ime.

If I was to go for an upgrade, bang for buck, I'd go for the Fusion cap and tip on a WPA. It's super easy, really robust, and extremely powerful.

They're all excellent and all have their niche in my collection.

Have my QOQ now and have done a bit of testing. Can confirm it's another good one from Vaphit. Probably the best flavor of all their devices. I have done gentle roasts and huge one and done hits. The triple torch seems to be the sweet spot for me.

Feels quite restrictive in terms of airflow. Probably as it lacks the carb of the X. The stem really does a great job of cooling the vapor though. The bowl size is smaller than the X. I did read somewhere that you can invert it to make it larger but it seems very tight so I have been too afraid to force it and break the bowl. (Edit - I just did break the bowl so I'd definitely only recommend using in standard orientation)

All in all it's very nice but it is fragile. I'd still say the X is the best overall vape in their lineup due to it being so versatile for the price. It's much more portable, can be used natively use in glass, you can use it with Dynavap caps if you want (although quartz is much the better experience for me personally in terms of flavor and heat retention), which opens it up to IHs, plus it has a larger bowl.

Thanks for the follow up. Waiting for delivery on mine (delayed at lacentralevapeur).
Regarding airflow: do you use the X with open carb, how do the airflows compare with the carb closed?
I've ordered a second X Metal stem, because I really like the feeling, handling (carbhole is so much better to close with your finger, than with any of my other stems) and the cooling.

screaming deal at vgoodies with holiday20 dicount, $17 for ballstem or 32 for the whole kit! I couldn't pass it up for that price.

Vaphit X Stem with Quartz Beads by Vaphit (VPH 5)

Vaphit X features a XL bowl which is deeper bowl with 6 mini holes at middle as well as a SS stem which allow loading quartz balls to cool down the vapor. This stem has an "X" carbhole and has a mouthpiece which has 10/14mm male joint using for bubbler. The quartz cap (1.5mm thickness) is...

So for the X I have been using the stem with 3 or 4 balls plus ruby star at the bowl end. This is much more open than filling the whole stem. So now I tend to use with carb closed and very occasionally feather it and the end of the draw. Whereas before I was having to use it much more open or take gentle MTL draws to use.

Yeah, i had mine filled to the brim, but the last ball always blocks the chamber after 1-2 bowls.
So I misunderstood you about the carb, but have an idea about the restrictions on the qoq.

Do you mean a ball blocks the airflow draw from the bowl? This is why I put the ruby star in the top of the stem (nearest the bowl). It prevents a ball entering the channel and creating an airtight seal.

I have seen others talk about using the star at the mouthpiece end to prevent the balls coming out the mouthpiece. I just use a screen in there to stop that (unscrew the mouthpiece and the screen clicks in that piece.)

There doesn't seem to be definitive instructions on how it's meant to be put together hence the different ways people seem to use it!

 

[budski]

that's why the ruby star, bet using all ruby stars would work great! I'm trying spiral now and it is a bit hotter vapor.

That’s how I use mine I thought I saw it in their instructions or a video somewhere. I use like 4-5 balls anymore messes up the air flow imo.

I’m surprised that people are saying the QoQ has a smaller bowl that doesn’t really make sense to me

Vaphit X bowl is definitely larger than QOQ. I would say roughly 1.5 times larger.

Wow that’s crazy I have no reason to get it then

I just ordered a second X-Stem, because it includes the balls and a sceond ruby star (and beacuse i like it). Try to still use the current number of balls but the second ruby star on top.

Cleaned the QOQ, took it appart and used it for a 3/4 bowl. Tripple Flame and like 4-5 seconds after getting the orange glow: airflow is restricted, but nice. It really resembles a spliff. Get one nice hit with cloud and some taste and a second more fainted one, the avb had a nice brown tone.
I wouldn't believe it, but the all-glas is really helping to control the session and the state of your material.
Cooling is sufficient and god I love the look of the spiral stem.
Buildquality is nice and the bigger mass of the quartz-cap really helps. Overall: it's good, will get a spot in rotation, but 58€ ... it's a niche product with a niche price, it would like to see it for like 45 for the small kit.

I'm really impressed at the value of the vaphitX, The stem is mr chonk but all the heat mass takes forever to get hot and the balls do a great job cooling, I like the x tip a lot too w/dynacaps, It's like a steel helix. The X stem works great and looks "meant to be" with the halo and simrell perfcap

 

[SlickHenry]

Vaphit X is probably the ultimate budget torch powered vaporizer. Also I cannot fault the service of the company.

I contacted them about my broken bowl on the QOQ and received a reply within an hour. They are sending a few extra replacements as well as some accessories for the X.

Top quality customer service from Larry at Vaphit.

Had a second session with my qoq. Really nice taste and no issues to get nice clouds.
But I had to made my first mod by adding a screen from the X-Stem at the bottom of the bowl (where its connecting to the metal body). Else I had some trouble with loose material coming trough.

Slightly OT, but my Dani Fusion 2.0 order also got delayed today for up to 25 days maybe LCV hast some deeper problems with delivery at the moment?

My Convector XL too. Hope they sort things out soon.

Since I’m passing by, just to say that I’ve been enjoying the Vaphit with the DNA stem a LOT in the last year or so. Definitely best value for money out there along with the Vaponic; in fact if you have only this for convection and the Vaponic for conduction you have a killer lineup already.

Throwing a hail mary in this Vaphit thread but does anyone know where to find the Vaphit DNA glass stem anywhere in Canada?

I can't find it on Aliexpress here and don't want to pay the shipping from VGoodiez if I can help it.
