it's a good reason if that is your main concerned. i listed my reasons. no harm no foul.
the quality and easy and pleasure i get from my new vb1.5 box ball vaporizer and custom ceramic whip is almost to good to be true. i can say this without exaggeration, you who don't have one, are truly missing out. coil based ball vaps run to hot and messy. vb1.5 gives big clouds, sweet, tasty hits without the clutter and burn danger. where have you been in my life. can you tell i'm in love with this vaporizer? lolBy FC rules I don't say anything negative about other vaporizers, although I see they are very effective and great for what they do.
We're in a different aspect of the industry, though, meant to be on a table or counter, around pets or visitors that could brush by. You can leave the box on round the clock if you like. Protecting the heated parts with a material that doesn't outgas is not the easiest- Currently, we use EU sourced wood to do that.
It's definitely costly for us to keep operating the way we do in the USA, as everything has doubled or tripled in price. The benefit is that when users needed parts or service 5 years after buying from us we are still here honoring the terms and providing replacement parts to keep their vaporizer going indefinitely.
This is a more expensive way of doing business, but since an effective convection vaporizer saves you so much herb usage, (like 1/3 what we needed before) the unit saves you potentially hundreds or thousands over its life.
I wish some of you vaporizer experts, that own the vb1.5 or a modded vb1 to the vb1.5 box ball vap, could demo how much less or more energy is being used in comparison to some of the many coil ball vaps using with the pid's. any takers ? lolBy FC rules I don't say anything negative about other vaporizers, although I see they are very effective and great for what they do.

Check out the thread 'whip-tubing-all-your-questions-answered' in vapor related equipment for more info. Even if you choose a different ID/OD, you could connect a small amount of right-sized whip to the wrong sized as an adapter. I haven't tried too many different kinds. I'm interested in getting a hookah hose cover to sleeve over the whip for cool color customization. I used to have a vb1 15 years ago. It was a daily driver for a solid year.
the new vb1.5 is a game changer. you can buy different color silicone and vinyl tubes on amazon now
zirconia would be best, i'll bet.
scroll down one more time you'll see zirconia beads for $25 more
Thanks for the pointer, this shop has exactly what I need for a reasonable price. Unfortunately, UK is not in the EU anymore and they don't even offer the option to ship to my country. Bummer.
I've been waiting on your vb1.0 to vb1.5 conversion and video or pictures. how did it turn out. i'm waiting with baited breath lol
Oh sorry, I didn't think anyone was that interested in it.
did you replace the ceramic heater with their upgraded heater?Oh sorry, I didn't think anyone was that interested in it.
The boro balls arrived and the conversion went smoothly. Had a bit of trouble with the 4 mm balls not arranging correctly after dropping them in, but after a few attempts it worked out.
After closing everything up again, I did a dry run by ramping up the temperature to the max over the course of one hour. The idea was to check if the expansion of the glass would cause problems and also to (hopefully) vaporize any impurities.
As someone who enjoys longer sessions, taking a sip here and there, I didn't notice a huge difference to be honest. The biggest change was the temperature scale. I used to start with the knob at 9 o'clock and slowly work my way up to around 12-1 o'clock.
Now I start at 7-8 o'clock, and when I get to 12 o'clock, the taste is already pretty roasty. So I guess the device is now more energy efficient, which is nice. Ideally I would adjust the high and low temp settings, but unfortunately my EU version doesn't have the two potentiometers to perform that adjustment.
Apart from that, I think that the flavor profile of the herbs got a bit more complex. Could be placebo though.
Draw resistance is obviously more restricted after the modification.
In summary, I don't know if the conversion was worth it for my use case. It might make a bigger difference for people who enjoy a couple of huge rips through water, but that is not me.
I did take a few photos, but honestly, the device looks exactly like the VB1.5 on the Vaporbrothers homepage.
depends on the age of your vb1.
