CrossingTech Core XL

The Core XL earns its name from the enlarged bucket that holds roughly twice as much material as the standard version. The wider diameter means concentrates spread thinner across the heating surface, which promotes more even vaporization. Two side air inlets direct cool air upward past the bucket. Airflow is adjustable through a rotating ring at the base — open wide for relaxed draws or nearly closed for concentrated vapor. This layout reduces splatter that can occur with smaller buckets at high temperatures.

CrossingTech offers the Core XL with three insert options: quartz, ceramic, and titanium. Quartz heats fastest and delivers intense flavor notes at lower temperatures around 260 to 315 degrees. The ceramic insert retains heat longer and suits extended sessions where steady temperature matters more than speed. Titanium combines quick ramp-up with good heat retention and handles higher wattage without material fatigue. All three inserts fit the same housing and swap without tools. A set of replacement seals is included in the box.

The Core XL bucket holds more material than the standard version but also accumulates residue faster. A dry swab while the bucket is still warm handles routine cleaning after each session. For deeper cleaning every few days, unscrew the bucket and soak it in isopropanol for five minutes. The heating plate underneath can be gently dabbed with a dry cloth — liquid must not reach it. Discoloration on the quartz bucket is purely cosmetic and does not affect performance.
