Man, you're really temping me to drill a hole through one of the concentrate cups to try this. Also to answer your question, it looks like the o-rings that are for the sticky brick adapters fit well enough to provide a seal between the cup and banger. These should work since all the SB o-rings are high temp silicone. Cheers!

Oh cool thanks might check them out.
I've found some silicone tape that looks and works better but I still couldn't quite cut it even enough.
I probably wouldn't risk breaking a concentrate cup if you use it. Up to you of course.
2
The cups are just sitting there since it's not my preferred method of using concentrates, so no big loss. Just know that I have you to thank if the temptation to have a mobile ball vape overtakes me.

I get ya, I sacrificed the silicone dynavap adaptor (they're better without them insert).
Yeah using a ball vape anywhere you can use a bong is the goal and it's getting close with this.
2
Works well, but my dumbass went & split then tried to catch the rubies post heating as they fell.
+1 to scold
3
Oh crap hope you didn't hurt yourself.
I've managed to close the top somewhat securely, enough to withstand a tip over. Unfortunately, this seems to have taken away that whisp of vapour. I can still use it pretty consistently now that I've used it so much.

Do you have a desktop ball vape to compare this to? I saw your last post and I’m getting a wand off the discord to try this out lol.
Going to use my b0 to benchmark it
3
I don't unfortunately. Only have the vapes in the video to compare and this tastes better and gets me higher then any of them, though the dynavaps aren't that far behind.
Would love a comparison if you get it working. Been eyeing a freight train or Taroma lite.

For sure yeah will definitely post it once I get it in.
I'm planning to use the silicone sleeve that comes with the dynavap adapter kit and then getting a custom machined injector head that holds balls and protrudes out of the wand to fit typical banger bowl.
Pretty excited to get this done since its really the form factor im looking for as like a heatgun that just replaces your lighter

Oh nice, this would work much better with a custom head. The output hole in the flower cup is quite small and would work better if it was enlarged.
This hit the hardest when using the capsules as they more closely matched the diameter of the flower cup. Too bad it lost so much flavour.
Putting a CCD at the bottom of the flower cup helped disperse the airflow and left more even AVB.
Can see this being my backyard/balcony vape if I eventually get a commercial ball vape.

I've been brainstorming about a setup exactly like this to use with my wand and beaker bong. What pieces are you using for the balls and weed chamber? (besides the wand and globe)
2
Hey, yeah the weed chamber is just the bangers that came with the wand. There's a screen in the bottom.
There are approximately 16 X 3mm rubies and some 4mm rubies. More rubies, longer heat up but better heat retention..
The rubies go in the flower cup with the hole in the bottom. Put a screen in the bottom then fill with rubies. Unfortunately the US folks got 2 concentrate cups and no flower cup.
To rest the flower cup on the banger, some sort of silicone band or o ring is needed to raise the cup to create a cavity for the weed. The silicone also creates a seal. In the pic and video I used the silicone dynavap insert. Now I'm using silicone tape which looks much better then the hack job I did.
That's pretty much it. You will also need something to pick up the hot flower cup to put in and take out.
Heat up times, 40 preheat, then 10-40 secs depending on how hot you're starting.
With fresh weed, a clear whisp of vapour appears. This basically tells you you're at vape temp. The longer you l leave it, the stronger the hit but risk combusting.
It tastes great, hits harder than my other vapes. Good luck if you decide to try.

There's only one thing about this setup that I wonder about. Silicone can withstand temps from 400-500° F, and the silicone band/seal is sitting on the flower cup which will get very hot. How is the silicone band holding up? Is there any sign of heat damage?
Thanks again the for details. Now I'm just trying to find a suitable O ring to complete a DIY ball vape on the cheap.
2
I've used it almost exclusively the last 4 days, done more than 30 bowls, silicone holding up well. Ispire released the Dynavap adaptor with silicone that goes in the Wand so I think silicone will be ok.
Might be going back to my Dynavaps soon as I'm starting to run low and this DIY ball vape had me chewing through weed.
Would love to see what you come up with. Good luck!

Finally got around to getting something like this going. I'm using 3mm CZ inside the cup, and a dosing cap from the Legacy Pro. No o-ring or anything like that yet, but it really works great!
2
Nice to see someone else get this working! I've been using it daily for over a month now. It's the strongest vape I have.
2
The mighty dosing cap is made of aluminium so yea would taste much better
Didn't realise how much they affected the taste.
