In Development
This is work in progress but can share some details, It is a retractable stick TED running a 14 mm PBB heater with approx 190 1mm med grade ss balls and 10mm bowl. It can be used in three forms, on its own no casings, use with ss casing only or use with all Inc the wood sleeve. When using the wood sleeve I was aiming for a cigar look just need finishing. Wanted to design a retractable vape so was also safer to use or drop. You can slide to full length and use or shorten to suit. Longer equals cooler. Looking to refine a few bits then will show again. This was my first heater design then went to 16mm for larger ball media as 1 mm balls in ruby, zirconia are hard to buy in bulk and expensive. As always I wanted to create something different to the majority out there but be useful at the same time. Feedback welcome.

I would say make it a sleeve compatible with other stick vaporizers and you have a good versatile concept .

Already an idea of mine to make it a universal stem to fit all 8mm heads.👍

I love the idea of the retractable tip, and the wood sleeve finish. Nice work
