The IO Hornet is a compact ball vape made from 316L stainless steel with 100 ruby balls (2.5 mm). It uses a 16 mm coil and delivers powerful convection hits through water. Compatible with 10 mm and 14 mm diffusers plus 14 mm and 22 mm injectors.
Research context: A study in the Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences (Hazekamp et al., 2006) showed that vaporisation at controlled temperatures releases over 95 % of the desired active compounds, while largely avoiding combustion by-products. Source: PubMed 16637053
With conduction, material is heated through direct contact with a hot surface. With convection, hot air flows through the material. Convection is considered more efficient and flavorful.
For optimal performance, we recommend light cleaning after each session and thorough cleaning with isopropyl alcohol every 1-2 weeks.
170-185C for light vapor, 185-200C for balanced effects, 200-210C for maximum extraction. Start low and work your way up.
