Know Your Elev8 Vaporizer Wand & Heater Cover Style

Elev8 has been perfecting the Art of Vaporizing since we first designed the Silver Surfer Desktop Vaporizer in 2004. When desktop vaporizers first hit the market there were only a few people making glass for desktop vapes. Our first wand and heater cover design (which we now call the Original Hand Made style) was typical of the time period but it left a lot to be desired. Over the years we have refined our glass components to further enhance the Art of Vaporizing, and this is why Elev8 is the leader in vaporizer innovation, artistic design, and efficient function. We find that our customers sometimes get confused about which wand and heater cover they are using, or which design they should order now, so we made this nifty chart to help educate our customers on the different designs that we have made over the years:

  • HAND-FLARED WAND AND HEATER COVER
    • This is the very first style of glass to come with the Silver Surfer. It is great and we will always have replacement parts for you.  
    • We no longer ship vaporizer units with this style as we feel the spherical style is the upgrade of this version with a larger bowl and a better fit.
    • Can still be ordered on a made-to-order basis. 
    • Uses the older-style 15.8mm Hands Free Attachment (the HFA with the more narrow opening).
    • Takes 15.8mm screens (the blue pack).
  • CONICAL GROUND GLASS WAND AND HEATER COVER
    • This was the second style of wand and heater cover to adorn the Silver Surfer.  It is also the same style of glass that is used on all Da Buddah Vaporizers.  While this style is great because it does not require a Hands Free Attachment, we prefer the size of the newer spherical joint for the Silver and Super Surfer Vaporizers.
    • Silver Surfer and Super Surfer Vaporizers are no longer sold with this type of connection, but they can still be ordered on a made-to-order basis.
    • This is the standard and only wand style used for the Da Buddha (DBV).
    • Does not use a Hands Free Attachment.
    • Takes 14.8mm screens (the green pack).
  • OLD SCHOOL SPHERICAL WAND AND SPHERICAL HEATER COVER
    • This was our first spherical joint, this style was introduced after we discovered the spherical connection and realized that it worked the same as the Original Hand Made style, but offered a larger bowl and a better fit. 
    • We no longer produce this wand, if you were using the Old School Spherical Wand then you should upgrade to the newer Spherical Ground Glass Wand (you do not need to upgrade the heater cover).
    • Uses the older-style 15.8mm Hands Free Attachment (the HFA with the more narrow opening).
    • Takes 15.8mm screens (the blue pack).
  • SPHERICAL GROUND GLASS WAND AND SPHERICAL HEATER COVER
    • Our newest addition to the Silver and Super Surfer wand selection. 
    • Holds a larger 17mm flavor disc, perfectly allowing the air to travel 100% through the flavor disc
    • Offers the largest bowl out of any of our glass wands.
    • This is now the default style which is included with all Silver Surfer Vaporizers and Super Surfer Vaporizers. 
    • See this instruction video to learn how to install the screen, and to learn more about our minimum tolerances for screen fitment.
    • Uses the newer 20.8mm Hands Free Attachment (the HFA with the wider opening)
    • Takes the 20.8mm screens (the yellow pack)
  • FEMALE CONICAL & ELEV8R WAND
    • We stumbled on this and were very impressed!  Offers the same large bowl design as the newer Spherical Ground Glass Wand, and works well in a Spherical Heater Cover with a Hands Free Attachment.
    • Works with the Elev8R heater.
    • Comes with a normal metal screen or can be upgraded to an all-glass screen.
    • If you are using this with a Spherical Heater Cover then you will need the older-style 15.8mm Hands Free Attachment (the HFA with the more narrow opening)
    • Takes 15.8mm screens (the blue pack). Elev8R Wands take 20.8mm screens (the yellow pack).
