Cannabis Hardware FlowerPot B2

Inside the FlowerPot B2, ruby or stainless steel balls sit in a head heated by an external coil. When air passes through the hot balls, it picks up their thermal energy almost instantly. The large combined surface area of many small spheres transfers heat far faster than a single flat plate. The result is dense, flavorful vapor from the very first draw. Temperature stays stable even during hard pulls because the balls act as a heat reservoir, compensating for energy loss in real time.

The B2 features an injector-style head that lets you combine dry herb and concentrates in a single hit. Concentrate goes on a separate dish while the herb sits in the screen below. On inhale, hot air flows through the balls first, then across the concentrate, and finally through the herb. This layered approach vaporizes both materials at their ideal temperatures without burning either one. You can also run herb or concentrate alone by simply leaving one layer empty.

The FlowerPot B2 takes 3-5 minutes to reach operating temperature depending on your PID settings. For pure herb sessions, set the controller to 190-210°C — the balls store enough thermal mass to maintain temperature even during hard draws. When using concentrates simultaneously, bump the setting up 10-15 degrees. The SiC concentrate insert reaches its sweet spot faster than the titanium version. An external PID controller like the Auber RDK-300 gives you precise control in 1-degree increments.
