What Is a Ball Vape?
A ball vape heats air, not your flower.
Inside the Flower Wand is an engine packed with small quartz or ruby pearls. When those pearls are hot and you pull, the incoming air passes through them, comes out at temperature, and travels down into your bowl. The flower vaporizes from hot air moving through it rather than from touching a hot surface.
That is true convection, and it is why a ball vape tastes different from a conduction vaporizer. Nothing scorches, nothing combusts, and the terpenes survive the trip.
How to Use It
- Set your controller and let the engine come up to temperature, around three minutes from cold
- Grind and pack your flower into the bowl, not too tight
- Seat the heated wand over the bowl
- Pull slowly through your rig
Slower draws pull more air through the pearls and give the flower longer to give up its vapor. Rushing it is the most common mistake.
Finding Your Temperature
The working range is 400 to 600°F. Start around 500°F and adjust from there.
-
Lower in the range - lighter vapor, the most terpene flavor, more draws out of the same bowl
-
Higher in the range - denser vapor, fewer draws, faster through the bowl
MiniNail controllers include a Flower Wand quick-start mode, so you have a working number the first time you turn it on.
Which Kit?
The complete setup. Controller, v2 titanium engine with your choice of quartz or ruby pearls, 20mm coil, silicone handle, poker and packer, your choice of bowl and a power cord, in your choice of controller color. This is where most people start.
The same kit with a full quartz engine and a ruby pearl core instead of the titanium engine. Quartz is the most flavor-neutral material available, so the air picks up nothing on its way through. If flavor is the reason you are buying a ball vape, start here.

Already own a MiniNail controller? This converts it to a flower setup without buying a second controller.
The leanest way in. Wand, 20mm coil, silicone handle and poker/packer, for anyone who already has a controller and a bowl.
Concentrates and flower together
Engines and Pearls
The engine is the part that actually decides how it tastes.
Both ship empty, so choose your fill: quartz pearls for the cleanest flavor, or ruby pearls for a denser thermal profile that holds heat longer between draws.
Bowls
The bowl holds your flower and seats in your rig's joint. Glass with a pass-through carb for airflow control, titanium for 10mm, 14mm and 18mm coverage, wood to stay cooler on the table, or quartz for the most neutral flavor.
Full range and joint sizing in Flower Bowls. A screen in the bottom keeps fine-ground flower out of your rig.
Going Tether-Free
The Wireless Flower Wand heats in a Coil Caddy dock instead of running on a coil. Bring it up to temperature, lift it out, seat it over your bowl and pull, with no cable attached to your glass.

Why Convection
-
No combustion. Hot air, not fire. Nothing burns and nothing tastes burnt.
-
The terpenes survive. Lower, controlled temperatures keep the aromatic compounds that give each strain its character.
-
More out of the same flower. Even extraction through the whole bowl instead of a charred layer on one side.
-
You choose the temperature. Down to the degree, held there all session.
Two-year warranty on the controller and coil. Designed and assembled in Seattle, USA.
