About this vaporizer
The Old Head Freight Train is a desktop convection vaporizer with a full glass vapor path and classic whip-style port. The device heats up to 230°C via an AC power cord and is designed for intensive desktop sessions with pure, unadulterated vapor. The uncompromising glass architecture and convection-based heating make the Freight Train particularly popular with taste enthusiasts.
The result is huge vapor clouds alongside clean flavor. Old Head manufactures in the USA and has established a strong reputation in the ball vape scene. The Freight Train is intended for users who want maximum extraction without compromise. You can find current prices in the price comparison.
Massive stainless steel heat reservoir
The Freight Train uses a large quantity of stainless steel balls as thermal mass. A torch or heating element brings the balls up to temperature. When you inhale, air flows through the hot balls and is heated by convection. The high heat capacity ensures that the temperature stays stable even during long draws and does not drop off.
Built for big draws
The name says it all: the Freight Train delivers vapor like a freight locomotive. The generous airflow and enormous thermal mass make deep, dense draws possible. At the same time, the flavor stays clean because it uses pure convection. For users who find small portables underwhelming, this is a genuine upgrade.
Made in the USA
Old Head manufactures in the United States. The build quality is solid – stainless steel, precise machining. No plastic parts in the vapor path. The device is designed for longevity and, with proper care, will last practically forever. Old Head enjoys a high standing in the ball vape community.
