SiC Beads 3mm (50 pcs) — silicon carbide

Silicon carbide (SiC) is the performance pick among bead materials: at roughly 120 W/(m·K) it conducts heat about three times faster than ruby — absorbing and releasing heat noticeably quicker. SiC is also extremely hard, thermal-shock resistant and completely taste-neutral (3A quality, supplied by JCVAP).

Use cases

Perfect for ball vapes (injector and heater chamber fill), as terp pearls in a banger, or as a thermal-mass bed.

Care instructions

• Soak in isopropyl alcohol (ISO) regularly, rinse with clean water and let dry completely.
• Never quench hot balls in cold water/ISO — thermal shock can crack any mineral.
• Our beads ship pre-cleaned — ready to use right out of the pack, no burn-off or cleaning needed before first use.
