Quick summary: The Switch 2 is a second-generation portable induction e-rig for concentrates. The headline additions over the original Switch are an integrated IR sensor for temperature feedback, three dynamic heating profiles, a 300% larger insert, and Bluetooth app control.
Dr. Dabber is a US-based vaporizer company founded in 2013 in Florida, originally operating out of a garage. The company relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada in 2016. They released the original Switch in 2016.

saw there i guess is a smaller switch 2 looking thing coming soon? is there an upcoming vape section here yet, i recall FC had upcoming vapes and then once they came out they would get moved etc.. that the plan here too?
Ordered my Switch 2 on 4/20 from Dr D and I think it’s going to take a while to ship. I’ve seen a few places selling glass and dishes, but wanted to see if anyone here has anything they are enjoying.
I got a calibear straight fab top that doesn’t splash so you can pull harder! Plus it feels like thicker glass! Then I find it a must to upgrade the cap for more airflow! I use a 30mm ball spinner cap I found online, but cloud vortex has cool metal spinner caps that look like they wouldn’t break like glass and might magnetize to the Chamber!
I do have the upgrade Sapphire Dish and ruby terp pearl! Terp pearl is a preference I like a lot and is cheap! The Dish is expensive but I can’t tell a difference! Maybe not worth the price but it’s my daily so it’s worth it to me!
There were a couple Calibear offerings that I Iiked. Function has been a concern in the past for some import glass, maybe a little less with CCG/CB than others.
Either simple or silly seems to be my taste. I don’t want to admit how long the function videos were playing in the background. Certainly not long enough to, at low volume, make me think my headphones were crapping out.
I cleaned my stock dish with the blazer torch and it was fine, but when I did the original sapphire it broke… I know not to do that with my new sapphire bucket!
Update on this! I got another sapphire dish and they are fire btw, but I got it really dirty and crusty brown! So I did research and found that if you put the sapphire dish into a larger quartz bucket like ~30mm you can slowly heat the bucket and it will eventually get the sapphire dish hot enough to melt off pretty much all the imperfections!! I just put it on my rig and moved the heat around and let it rest at times to slowly heat it up, but you may can go faster! Then leave it on the rig to cool and like that it’s new!
Sapphire has more “Thermal Vulnerability” than quartz thus needing to be heated and cooled slower. Quick AI research shows a “thermal shock” from the sapphire heating up 25x faster than quartz causing the outside to heat and expand faster than the inside surface! That is what causes it to break!!
