Elev8R E-Heater Full Kit

Our new kits have arrived, directly from Elev8! 

The Elev8r E-heater full kit by Elev8 is one of our favourite desktop vaporizers, capable of vapourising both dry herb and concentrate but truly excelling at dry herb vaporisation, which is what we use it for. It is a very powerful full convection setup capable of vapourising anywhere between approximately 0.06-1g of dry herb in one chamber, allowing for microdosing or for huge clouds of tasty vapour, whichever takes your fancy. Where it truly excels is with larger amounts of 0.15-0.5g  where it produces huge clouds of vapour with minimal stirring required.

Being full convection the bowl does need at least one stir unless you are using a small layer of herb spread onto the screen. A coloured pick is provided with the kit for this purpose. Concentrates can be vapourised using the porous black ceramic flavor discs they provide excellent flavour but thinner vapour than our banger based setups so we don't use this much, however it is an excellent option to have. All parts are replaceable so if you ever do break something there's no need to replace your whole setup, just the relevant part. This is an amazingly powerful and versatile vaporiser which provides incredible flavour (one of the best out there and the best for the price!) and a simple elegant design.

What am I looking at?

The Elev8r full kit consists of four main parts, a 14mm male Elev8R vehicle water pipe adapter (WPA) vehicle and herb chamber, a Quartz heater, an enail which wraps around the heater and a PID controller which controls the temperature the heater reaches. The Regular (mesh) WPA vehicle contains a 20.8mm stainless steel mesh screen to keep your herb in place and has a maximum 1g capacity! For the best performance, vapour production and most even cook of the herb we suggest filling the glass heater with either 3mm borosilicate or 3mm ruby balls. These help retain heat, even out airflow and heat distribution and reduce the airflow, all of which improve vapour production and allows for lower temperatures to be set on your PID controller. The 14mm male WPA vehicle can be fitted into any existing 14mm female glass rig with a 90 degree (upright, not angled) joint allowing you to make use of any compatible glassware you might already have. We also have 45 degree adapters allowing you to adapt your 45 degree old style bubbler into a 90 degree angle for use with the Elev8r or banger based setups. As there is a lot of glass/ruby to heat inside the heater we always suggest leaving it to reach and stabilise at the set temperature for at least five minutes before use. Do this and you will have huge thick and tasty clouds being produced within five seconds of starting your inhalation! If preferred the Elev8R can also be turned up and used as a torch/lighter replacement, making the system into an e-bong instead of e-vape setup. 

Also available is the All Glass Water Pipe Adapter Vehicle (AGWPA) version which has a built in glass screen that sits higher up than the regular WPA vehicle, straight sides and improved airflow. Having a slightly reduced capacity of 0.06-0.5g this may be preferred by people who want to load slightly smaller amounts or get faster vapour production and a more even chamber cook. Having a higher screen and improved airflow design means the herb cooks more evenly at the same temperatures and provides slightly better flavour. The holes on this adapter are not tiny so allow for free flowing airflow, however small particles of herb sometimes fall through so we sometimes use a 15.8mm mesh screen to avoid herb ending up inside the water tool. Please select your desired kit option from the selection menu. 

The airflow on the Elev8r is fairly free flowing and can be adjusted by simply removing balls (when cold) from your heater, then increasing the temperature set on your PID controller to make up for the reduced thermal capacity they provided. We always run the heater filled up to the small glass nub on the outside of the heater.

Filling your heater with balls - Now Included! 

When the quartz heater is cold the 3mm balls should be first filled from the bottom (remove the screen first), ensuring not to overfill the heater and allowing the 15.8mm mesh screen to be evenly replaced straight back into it's original position. Ensure the screen is not bulging and the balls are not packed tightly inside as this leaves no room for thermal expansion. While still holding the heater upside down it is best to push the centre of the mesh so that it straightens instead of dipping in the middle, like it originally does. This is to provide a secure fit. 

When this is done turn the glass heater upright and finish filling from the top, gently tapping the side as you do this to ensure the balls settle into place filling as much of the space inside the heater as is possible up to the level of the glass nub on the outside. You can fill higher but risk hot balls falling out the top when removing the heater. 

Adding 3mm balls is a modification which was first done by VapeCritic and originally made commercially available by VGoodiEZ. This modification has since become the standard way of running this kit for many people, including ourselves, so we have provided guidance on how this can be done. The user assumes all responsibility if performing such a modification. 

Please use caution as this is a custom modification and if not done properly, the balls can come out or cause damage to the quartz heater if packed tightly. It is the user's responsibility to ensure this optional modification is done correctly and safely. 

Loading your Elev8r

Loosely load your WPA vehicle with ground herb, this can be done with medium or course ground herb, finely ground herb can be used and will produce faster vapour production but is also more likely to pass through the filter screen and will require more stirring if filled heavily. Never tamp. You can stir the contents of the chamber with the colour pick after loading to ensure it is spread evenly with larger amounts if desired. We tend to load it and let the airflow take care of that initially, then stir after. With low level of herb filling the chamber you may only need to stir once at the end, or not at all with very small amounts. When loading 0.3g+ into the chamber we always stir after every other draw with the marble pick when removing the heater to put it on the stand. We keep a dab tool holder attached to the side of our rig making this a convenient and almost ritualistic process. 

Things to note

For best performance always stir after the first inhale as the material will have dried. 

Always pause your inhale when removing the heater from the WPA vehicle to clear the rig of vapour, if you continue inhaling the suction force will hold the two pieces of glass together and you risk pulling the WPA vehicle out of your rig with the heater. It will obviously be hot and full of herb so is best avoided.

When removing it, always hold you WPA Vehicle by the bottom end where the 14mm joint is, the top gets extremely hot during use. 

Never turn your quartz heater upside down when it contains balls, they will fall out and can cause burns if hot when this happens. This is why we only fill our heater up to the height of the glass nub on the outside, that way they do not fall out accidentally when transferring the heater between the WPA vehicle and the stand. 

Ensure you seat the mesh that holds the balls sits straight inside the heater in its original position so it isn't sucked out and doesn't come loose during use. If you adjust it badly the screen will slip down slowly and will be noticeable however this is avoidable with correct installation.  Never adjust the screen when the heater and balls are hot, hot balls flying everywhere is not a fun experience. We did however manage to confirm the 3mm ruby balls stay hotter during this accident since they all burned their way into the carpet, but none off the glass ones did (we were testing a mix of the two)! 

Temperature Suggestions

For dry herb we run our PID controller between 500-550 F depending on the material and what we're after (huge rips or a slower cook). Your temperatures may be different depending on the exact fit of your coil to heater, the number of balls and the fit of the mesh screen. One of the nice things about this vape is you get to set it up exactly how you want it! 

When using the Flavor Disc for concentrates we run this at 520-580F, once again depending on the material and desired result. We have found the flavour disc produces more vapour when you leave the heater on between draws and do not clear the rig of vapour, cooling the disc between inhales. You can still do this if you want smaller clouds of vapour and will preserve the flavour for a little longer. 

Capacity 

• 0.06-1g approximate capacity for dry herb 
• 0.05-0.15g capacity for concentrates
• You can add a little concentrate to the top of your dry herb when 0.25g+ for an increase in vapour production and effect. With this amount or more inside we have found it is contained by the herb and does not get pulled through the WPA vehicle into the rig.
