The Thermal Twist Ball-less, was designed by us and made in collaboration with Crossing Tech to bring a highly effective and competitively priced injector vape to the market (we also have a Microdose Diffuser Bowl available as there's plenty of heat for conduction!).
Removing the need for balls entirely we have designed this with vortex airflow and a metal core! Available in either SS316 Stainless Steel or Grade 2 Titanium. The Vortex airflow removes the need to stir your bowl when used with around 0.1.5-0.2g loads as the hot air does the work for you, removing one additional step while vaping! Just load in a one SQP of herb, place the housing on the bowl, inhale, then watch it spin up and settle in to place! There's no need to tamp your bowl as the airflow will do this for you too! Due to the spinning airflow the Thermal Twist also makes an excellent micro-doser, happily vaporizing down to around 0.05g (we haven't tested with less... it would still vape less).
Designed with a simplified user experience in mind, the Thermal Twist comes fully set up with a handle installed on the heater coil and the housing fully set up, making for a plug and play experience without the possibility of spilling balls (as there are none) or mis-installing the handle during setup! Plug the heater into the front of the PID, the power adapter/plug into the back, turn it on, set your temp and it's ready to go (initial burn off cycle advisable)! The Stand has been designed to provide minimal contact with the housing, meaning the heat stays where it should be, inside the housing and not being transferred into your stand, or worse, into the surface below!
Capable of providing anything between low temp terpy hits, to thick clouds. The Thermal Twist has fairly fast vapor production and exceptionally smooth vapor!
This kit comes with everything needed to get started, aside from a glass Rig or Bubbler (optionally available) and herb.
Suggested set temperature range on the PID: 300c-370c (572f-698f) but as with everything... use it as you like it! Though we wouldn't advise going hotter as you might combust! We have customers who run this as low as 280C set temperature on the PID controller.
- Titanium version provides slightly better flavour and is a lighter weight material
- Stainless Steel version provides slightly smoother vapor

Usage notes
- The newest units come with a coil and heater which has been through a heat cleaning cycle at the factory, these units will have a label on the heater coil and do not need to be heat cleaned again.
- For all other units please perform a burn off heat cleaning cycle on the housing before vaping. Once set up, put your housing on the metal stand, set your PID to 380C (734f) and allow any manufacture residues to burn off. Give it 10 minutes before first use. Then turn it down to around 350C, leave it for a minute or two to settle at the new lower temp, take your first hit and adjust the temperature from there.
- If using the 14mm bowl with the keck clip and 18mm adapter, when you install the 14mm bowl into the 18mm joint give it a little push and twist to help the two joints lock together, then install the keck clip. This will help prevent the joints rotating unintentionally
- Unless using this setup with the diffuser bowl (not included, coming soon) it is not advisable to leave the Thermal Twist housing on the bowl. Place the housing on the bowl, inhale, remove the housing setup and place it safely on the stand
- To avoid the herb being additionally compacted there is a side carb/stopper integrated into the bowl, you can remove this stopper to assist in clearing the bubbler of excess vapor
- The Heat Guard extends past the bottom of the injector housing for maximum protection, this also helps align the bottom of the injector housing into your bowl for added convenience and makes it very hard to miss! We only mention this as those of you who are already using injector vapes will be unused to this system as with most devices you have to watch closely to ensure the injector is neatly placed into the bowl.
- Check out the Portavb Universal Debowler, a great solution for emptying your bowl after vaping!
- The Thermal Twist works really nicely with hash (not bubble), if you double up the mesh screens then break up the material small but not too finely and place some on the top screen it's pretty effective.
- The Microdose Diffuser bowl is also great as you can place some into the screen, then place another screen on top to trap it inside the bottom screen. With a little heat soak especially this is highly effective.
Caution Note
1. Do not leave the Housing head in the glass bowl to heat up. As it heats the metal and glass expand and the housing can become stuck in the glass which can cause the glass to break.
2. Always use the provided stand for storage, do not store the housing installed on the bowl as over time this can damage the bowl.
3. Please note the temperature is set to Celsius if you are in UK, EU or AU and Fahrenheit if you are in US or Canada by default.
4. Please ensure the hex bolt on top of the housing is tight and secure, these can loosen during shipping.
PID Controller Instructions
- Hold the central button for 5 seconds to turn on or off
- Use the +/- buttons to adjust the temperature
- When switched on, press the central button five times to access auto-off timer
- Adjust with +/- from 0-5. 0 switches the timer off or select 1-5 hours
- Celcius/Fahrenheit - Hold down + button for 5 seconds while the controller is switched off. Then press the + button again to change between C and F. Press the central button to exit.
Fun features
The Thermal Twist can be used with the 18mm C/C Quartz Cap vaporizer by the rogue wax works. Just pop the housing over the top of the glass chamber section and use your Quartz Cap vaporizer as a diffuser style bowl! With or without heat soak! If heat soaking you can adjust the mesh screen inside the Quartz Cap chamber so that it sits higher up for a full hybrid experience. You will want to reduce the temps on your pid by around 70-100c if doing this.
We also now have the Thermal Twist Microdose Diffuser Bowl which has been made specifically for these setups!
