    Engineering & Architecture

    • Heating Method: Full convection through a custom ceramic heating rod; air passes over the heater into a glass stem with an adjustable sliding basket screen 15.
    • Temperature Control: Analog 0–10 dial on a detachable power cord; official dial-to-temperature map (e.g., 5 → 302–320 °F, 7 → 410–428 °F, 8 → 464–482 °F); maximum ≈560 °F / 293 °C 5.
    • Power: 120 V AC, ≈15 W max draw; international operation requires a step-down transformer (per manufacturer) 5.
    • Materials: Hardwood bodies; glass stems; ceramic heater 15.
    • Design Notes: The NXT reworks the OG’s thermals to run cooler with a weighted base; the XL has a ≈50 % larger heater core and bowl with wider stems that are not cross-compatible with NXT stems (per manufacturer) 1.
    • Certifications: No CE/FCC/RoHS/UL certificates are published on the manufacturer site or manual; no firmware (analog dial only) 6.
