    Cannabis Hardware FlowerPot Baller Head Assembly (TED-0039)

    Technical Specifications

    Property Specification
    Manufacturer Cannabis Hardware, LLC
    Family FlowerPot (wired ball-vape heater head) — Generation 1 of the ball-holding line, retroactively named “FlowerPot Ball Vape” in the manufacturer’s own family lineage 123
    Component Role (TREF-0004) Heater head — the first ball-holding FlowerPot diffuser (as distinct from the pre-ball Showerhead and Vrod). Sold as a modular diffuser core: the base variant is the machined titanium diffuser alone; a Vrod-style top, thermal media, and (optionally) a concentrate dish are purchased as variants on the same listing or sourced separately 1
    Part Number Base product ID 6670452195468. Variant SKUs 3405-3103 (no balls / no top, $66.00), plus top-with-dish variants (see Family Context) 1
    Release Period Introduced in August 2021, per the manufacturer’s own product page (“Introduced in Aug-2021”) and a dated manufacturer blog post (“Baller Head Assembly,” August 31, 2021). Archived listings confirmed 2021-09-27 through 2021-10-18 on cannabishardware.com. Live-checked 404 on 2026-08-08; the manufacturer’s own later blog (“The Evolution of the Flowerpot Baller,” 2021-10-20) already narrates it as superseded by the Screen Baller 145
    Heating Method Ball-assisted convection — air is forced around a bed of quartz spheres inside the hollowed diffuser instead of through the Vrod’s straight air channels, which the manufacturer states “more than doubles the heater’s surface area” and improves efficiency 1
    Heat Source External 20 mm enail coil (same coil platform as the Vrod it was machined from); “the baller can only be used with the Vrod top, not the Weedeater” per the manufacturer’s release blog 4
    Temperature Control External PID (era-appropriate NewVape/Auber-style controller); no head-specific set points found in the archive
    Temperature Range Not manufacturer-published for this model. Unverified
    Chamber / Bowl Ball chamber inside the hollowed diffuser body, held with a screen. The base listing sells the diffuser alone; higher-priced variants add a Vrod-style top with a SiC or sapphire concentrate dish (see Family Context) 1
    Head Material Grade 2 titanium, machined from the Vrod diffuser casting 14
    Thermal Media Manufacturer product page (2021-09-27 snapshot): “machined away the inside to accommodate 58 Quartz 4 mm spheres.” Discrepancy note: the manufacturer’s evolution blog (2021-10-20) instead states “about 60 4mm quartz balls” for this same generation. Both figures are manufacturer-published but disagree by roughly 2 balls; recorded here rather than silently resolved 12
    Compatible Media Dry botanical flower via the ball bed; concentrates only via the optional SiC/sapphire-dish top variant (sold at a premium on the same listing, not included by default) 1
    Power AC mains via coil + external PID
    Warranty Not separately published for this discontinued model

    Family Context

    • Manufacturer description (Baller Head Assembly product page, 2021-09-27 snapshot): “Introduced in Aug-2021. The Baller is the newest head designed for the flowerpot ecosystem. We started with the legendary Vrod head and machined away the inside to accommodate 58 Quartz 4 mm spheres. This design more than doubles the heater’s surface area. Instead of the straight air channels found in the Vrod, the balls create an obstructed air path forcing the air around the balls resulting in better efficiency. You are able to customize your experience by using different material balls that are widely available. (Ruby, Sapphire, Quartz, SiC).” 1
    • Variant structure (2021-09-27 snapshot), quoted verbatim: “NO QUARTZ BALLS / NO TOP - $66.00 USD”, “NO QUARTZ BALLS / TOP WITH SIC DISH (+$80) - $146.00 USD”, “NO QUARTZ BALLS / TOP WITH SAPPHIRE DISH (+205) - $271.00 USD”, “ADD QUARTZ BALLS (+$18) / NO TOP - Sold Out”, “ADD QUARTZ BALLS (+$18) / TOP WITH SIC DISH (+$80) - Sold Out”, “ADD QUARTZ BALLS (+$18) / TOP WITH SAPPHIRE DISH (+205) - Sold Out.” The balls-included variants were sold out at the time of this snapshot; only the ball-less base and dish-topped variants were purchasable 1.
    • Manufacturer release blog (August 31, 2021): “If you have been following Troy @ 420 VapeZone then you have probably seen the ‘B-Rod modification’… Here at Cannabis Hardware we have taken the idea of the ball modification to a whole other level with the latest custom diffuser called the Flowerpot ‘Baller.’ We have bored out the inside of the diffuser to add more room for pearls, rubies, or balls… The baller head comes with a screen to hold the balls inside of the head. We recommend using the baller with 4mm spherical terp pearls… The baller can only be used with the Vrod top, not the Weedeater.” 4
    • Naming: the manufacturer’s product-page title was “Baller Head Assembly”; the family is retroactively labelled “FlowerPot Ball Vape” (Generation 1) in the already-published manufacturer record’s family table. This archive record uses the manufacturer’s own contemporaneous product title in the page title, and cross-references the retroactive family label 3.
    • Superseded within about three months by the Screen Baller (part 3408), which kept this head’s shape but replaced its machined solid bottom with a screen so that smaller 3 mm balls could be used 2. The Screen Baller holds no record of its own: unlike this listing, which sold top-with-dish variants and is discontinued, part 3408 was sold only as a diffuser plus screen and still ships today as the “22mm ‘Standard’ Diffuser” component of the B1 and B2 heads (rule TAX-06) 6.

    Safety Notes

    • No head-specific safety warnings were found in the archived listing. General FlowerPot guidance applies by manufacturer practice at the family level: the heated head and any installed concentrate dish are burn hazards. This is carried over from later FlowerPot pages, not confirmed on this product’s own listing — labelled here as community/family-level guidance.
    • Manufactured by Cannabis Hardware, LLC.
    • Machined from the Vrod diffuser casting; this record’s supersedes relation reflects that direct lineage.
    • Succeeded by the Screen Baller (part 3408), a component rather than a modeled device — see the note in Family Context and the family lineage guide.
    • Superseded in the manufacturer’s lineage by the B2, which turned the baller concept into its own ecosystem.
