The Divine Crossing XL V5 Rebuildable Concentrate Heater is an updated version of the original V5 but comes with the larger XL 3D Ceramic Heater. The XL setup can be used with the smaller dabs but also allows for larger dabs and vaporizes both with greater efficiency due to the taller walls of the heater. This advantage also extends to less cleaning being needed since there is less splashback from the concentrates hitting the walls.
This new XL Version also comes with an updated taller all steel cap, doing away with the original glass windowed cap and is available in Stainless Steel or Anodized black Stainless Steel.
Otherwise these devices are the same in terms of user input so I'm going to pretty much copy paste the original V5 listing below!
The XL V5 Rebuildable Concentrate Heater AKA XL V5 Micro Diffuser is the newest 510 threaded offering from the Divine Tribe and SZ Crossing collaboration, aptly named Divine Crossing. It has a heated cup with elements inside the ceramic base and walls, which provide accurate temperature control to within around 10C and provides an almost uniformly heated dabbing surface. The heater sits on top of a stable Zirconia ceramic base which is fit mounted onto the stainless steel V5 Micro Diffuser base then secured down by the cup coil. Much like the V4 Crucible the V5 Micro Diffuser is rebuildable with replaceable coils but has an upgraded heater installation design, airflow, functionality and a directly heated dabbing surface! The built in heat sink is also very effective at stopping your mod heating up, even when performing burn off cycles!
Accurate temperature control, a fully heated smooth ceramic cup surface and the vortex airflow design makes the XL V5 Micro Diffuser an extremely efficient vaporizer which is perfect for getting the most from a larger loads or for micro-dosing with tiny dabs! It provides a pure and accurate flavour profile from your concentrates and provides very smooth vapour due to the all ceramic cup. It has fast become our favourite 510 diffuser.
We like to push whip tubing on to the mouthpiece of the V5 to cool the vapour and allow us to hold the V5 away from us at eye level, letting us see straight into the diffuser as we vape!
Before Vaping
- Check the screws which clamp the coil legs are firmly screwed in.
- Check the 510 pin in the base of the atomizer is fully screwed in.
How to use
- First things first set up your mod with the settings listed below, when this is done set the desired temperature then load the cup coil with a small amount of concentrate, generally around the size of a grain of rice (basmati, long grain, whatever, just not a puffed rice size dab!).
- Hold the fire button on your mod or if you have an autofire mod like our iStick Pico, use auto-fire. If using a regular mod you will need to release and re-press the fire button when the shut off timer cut the power off to continue heating the cup. We suggest starting your inhale when the temperature reaches around 160 C to avoid losing some of the effect and flavour of the material you're diffusing. Release the power or cancel auto-fire around three seconds before you finish inhaling to help the bucket cool and preserve your concentrate for the next inhale.
- Wipe clean after use with a q-tip. Cleaning instructions are listed below.
- Please note: The XL V5 Concentrate Heater Cap gets hot after a session, please allow it to cool briefly before removing it to clean the cup.
Settings
- TCR only - 45W with TCR 200 - Temp between 200-280c
- Take a new cold coil resistance reading on your mod then lock if desired. Cold coil resistance is generally between 0.46 and 0.51. This varies between box mods due to their internal resistance and will be a little higher if used with the 510 extension cable
- Heat time is around 12 seconds

Cleaning
- To maintain a clean heater always keep the temperature below 260C and leave a small amount of residue in the bucket, most concentrates will have a little residue left over (often oily) which contains no useful compounds as they've already been vaporized out, this is the fraction that is suggested to be left behind for cleaning. Gently swab the heater after each use while it is still warm to soak up any residue, do not apply pressure to clean or you risk damaging the heater connections.
- Burn off Cycles can be performed at 37W Max for one to two minutes (requires the Pico Plus with Autofire linked above, or a DNA-C mod) if needed this can be restarted after allowing the heaters to cool for a couple of seconds in between cycles. To do this hold the setup upside down while performing the burn off cycles. Heaters can be cleaned at higher wattages but may break, we have had success at 45W but 37W is the maximum reliable cleaning wattage.
- Do not torch clean the Zirconia spacer as it may crack due to heat stress and uneven thermal expansion
- We always advice to keep your o-rings well lubricated to avoid the cap becoming stuck due to residues!
Coil replacement
Slightly undo the screw bolts from each side of the atomizer, there are four in total, two for each coil leg. The coil leg is clamped in between the two screws. Lift the coil out of the V5 base and line it up next to the replacement coil, then trim the wire legs of the new coil to the same length as on the old one. If in doubt always cut a little longer, you can trim extra wire off but you can never add it back on! Insert the coil legs through the Zirconia cup coil stand and into the V5 base. Then, while holding the V5 Coil in place with your thumb, tighten the screw bolts. Start by tightening the first screw until you feel resistance then tighten the other, always return tonthe and first screw to ensure it's tight. Then repeat this procedure for the other coil leg. Take a cold resistance reading from your new coil and if desired lock this. Then place onto wattage mode and perform a burn off cycle at 37W to ensure the coil is clean of any residue before switching back into temp control mode for vaping.
FAQs
- Can I use the V5 on wattage mode?
- Yes but you will have a reduced experience and risk burning your material. For wattage mode we suggest using a dedicated wattage based coil or a diffuser/vaporizer which heats more slowly and preferably has a stick resistant surface such as a Silicon Carbide (SiC) insert.
- What about DNA setup?
- We can't assist with this but there is a resource by Vapor Ninja
- Is it compatible with V4 Crucible bottomless bangers and glass caps?
- The XL V5 Micro Diffuser has it's own range of glassware as it has different dimensions. These are linked above.
- Is it compatible with terp balls?
- Yes, much like the V4 Crucible this works well with 4mm and 5mm terp balls though we haven't found the make as much difference here.
