The "QR Baller" is The Rogue Wax Works' answer to a ball vape. Like the other RWW devices it makes use of a Quartz Heater and Glass Bowl, with the only metal in the airpath being the Stainless Steel mesh screens. Unlike the other RWW devices, this one has a heater filled with Ruby balls!
This makes the QR Baller a very heavy hitter with excellent heat retention and thermal stability, allowing you to easily extract bowls of any size with just one heat cycle. With that said, while this setup cap be heated with a torch, it's best to run it with the Coil Cap heater coil since this allows you to more accurately control the temperature, ensuring it's been heated to perfection each time. If you're heating it with a torch there is somewhat of a learning curve in nailing down the heating, it's pretty easy to mess up and combust. If torch heating we suggest only using a torch with a large flame like the Blazer Big Shot or one of the Yocan Red torches and smaller flames are underpowered for this.
When torch heating, heat the quartz cap while it sits on the bowl until the flame starts to change to yellow as it hits the quartz. Then remove the heat for 10 seconds or so and reapply the flame to the heater until it changes colour again. Doing this allows the heat to conduct between the rubies and removes some of the guesswork. After your session leave it for a good few minutes before handling the cap since it stays hot for quite a while - this setup does not come with tongs so we're looking into getting some handles/clamps for the heater section.
If using the Coil Cap heater coil we suggest setting the PID controller temperature to around 460f or 237c and giving it a good five minutes to heat from cold before use. Once you've done this you can vape it as much as you like since the temperature will be maintained by the coil. If you align the clips which hold the coil cap so that both arms face in the same direction, you can use that as it's own mini stand for the heater. - TRWW also suggests the coil cap as the best method for heating and so doesn't even list or demonstrate a torch heating method for the QR Baller.
Included
- Pre-Assembled Heater with Rubies
- Short Bowl (screen not installed but included)
- Screen and Cleaning Tool Pack
- Large and Small Screen Guides for screen installation
PLEASE NOTE, THE QR BALLER IS SHIPPING WITH SHORT BOWL INSTEAD OF LONG BOWL PICTURED IN TRWW PHOTOS. The main photo shows the included parts with the correct bowl.
The QR Baller is a simple baller head that is convection forward. Comprised of a 2.5mm thick Quartz housing filled with 300 x 3mm Rubies and a simple high quality German Glass bowl with 18mm male fitting.
The QR Baller is heated by the 18mm (22mm ID) coil and can be run wired or wirelessly. For the wired setup you would need the Coil Cap and a compatible PID controller (all our PID controllers are compatible).
Comes assembled as shown with bowl screens, Ruby retention screens, Quartz Housing, 300 x 3mm Rubies and 2 glass tubes that are part of the rebuild kit.
