Hey guys you can in fact sometimes make a big enough standard shape bowl work without the seal just like you can sometimes make one of our intended VCBS work without the seal (all depends upon the shaping of the bowl or intake to the end of the wand), but neither the wand nor our chamber bowls are intended to work that way so as a company we can't support it or endorse it. Besides it simply works better than anything else if used as intended with the seqential venturi effect you get from having the intake on the bowl....nature's flow form phsyics for better vapor!!!
Additionally, there is a matter of intellectual property and Mark being an advocate of that system working the way it's intended has said Vrip's official position is that the wands are made for use with our patented two piece vaporization chamber bowls only (with a tip seal in the case of Ver. 1,2 and 3 to date). Two important considerations: 1) if you leave the wand on for extended periods without actually using (pulling air through it to vaporize) then the tip seals will last far longer laying it horizontal as opposed to inverted in one of our stands or a mug as is often used or in any other manner where the end of it is sealed off and the heat is allowed to just accumalate. The wand inverted in a stand or a mug is great for speeding the heat up to sesh and is good for the typical in and out usage during a typical sesh, but will result in cooked tip seals if just stored that way on full heat for extended periods (hours on end without use). 2) if your tip seal is getting discolored and showing signs of cracking hit me up @ info@vriptech.com and we'll get you some replacements.
Plenty of customers have plugged us and continue to plug us to make a GonG VCB and wand set-up and we have made functional prototypes. From testing it has been concluded it won't work the way it needs to without a custom made joint because it can't be "finessed" like the wand with the tip seal and the last Mark talked about it he said the focus in the shop is keeping up with existing demand now, but that "we'll definitely get to it."
