Hyer Big E-Rig

Big-e & EV3

A Revolutionary New Way to Transform Your Water Pipe

The Big-E rig adaptor kit replaces the torch that has long dictated how one would use essential extracts with something much more versatile and less worrisome.

Our first release is the result of three years of R&D with taste science and how material is best consumed. Meet EV3 – our patent pending, non-porous, vitreous coated ceramic vaporization element. Free of nasty glue, plastics and foul taste. EV3 removes the need for a torch and eliminates combustion.

EV3

Our first iteration of EV3 uses our non-porous, vitreous coated ceramic element “nail” with an integrated 30W heater with a diameter of 0.88″/22mm. Because its made from pure ceramic and glass, it takes 90 seconds to heat up from room temperature, but once there, it retains the heat and offers fantastic temperature stability and unmatched flavor.

This makes it great for low temperature use, especially with the carb cap. Coupled with Big-E: Our patent pending, docking station with elastomeric traction grips ensure your treasured glass is secure and electrified, no matter where you’re going.

The last piece here you need to know is you are no longer limited by cable length and the need for electric power. No more tethering. We just wanted you to be able to travel around your house (or backyard, beach or party) not tethering to a wall. So let it rip and move.

Battery

Power, Performance and Portability

Hands down, this is the most powerful portable e-Rig on the market. Packed with 48W of portable power, enjoy up to 25 sessions or 2h of continuous use on a single charge.

Our adjustable session time is perfect for high-volume sessions in social settings or for dialing in your preferred time for a low-temperature session.

Stability

Precise Temperature Control and Stability

Use the flip out control panel to precisely tune EV3 to your desired temperature. Precision 10bit ADC ensure temperature stability for accurate control. Dial in your precise temperature for optimal flavor.The Germans did this with their spezifikationen des volcano digit with great success. People now expect this feature in most vapes. Being able to dial in the exact temperature really helps since different products have different vaporization points of temperature.

Big-E, as docking station with its elastomeric traction, grips to ensure your treasured glass is secure and prevents small disasters by stabilizing the base.

The magnetic coupling means that the EV3 power cable will disconnect from your water pipe in the case of accidental tippage.

Taste Science

EV3’s Magical Coat

EV3 was engineered to provide the cleanest experience possible. Our ceramic is medical grade, chemically inert and non-porous. We believe in it so much that we took it one step further and applied our vitreous coating to the working areas.

This means that the working surface of EV3 are not able to trap any residue, are easy to clean and will never release any hazardous chemicals or substances of any kind.

What does all this mean?
It means you get the tastiest and cleanest experience every time, no matter what temperature you chose. We also decided to wrap EV3 to protect her from accidental falls and burn fingers.

Party Pics: Engel Exhibition

Eternity, By Nissan Engel​

Eternity, By Nissan Engel​

On Tuesday evening on Manhattans Upper East East, over 250 specially invited guests attended an exclusive art exhibition and sale held at the sumptuous townhouse of the distinguished Kenneth Laub. The event was to introduce New Yorkers to the life and work of Nissan Engel, an internationally acclaimed, Bezalel-trained Israeli artist who died this past fall at the age of 85. 

Organized by Michael Bolla and Engel’s widow Micheline (Micky) — a former Chanel model with a prominent and far-flung social circle– together with the Israeli Consulate in New York, Cunsul Aviad Ivri, and a worldwide group of influential friends and collectors, the event celebrated Engel’s work in advanacing his global legacy. Locally, Engel’s stained glass windows adorn several synagogues in America. Having spent most of his life in Normandy, France, where Micky still lives in a home that includes his gallery, he was a fixture on the European art scene for decades.

For an at-a-glance overview of his rich career, please visit www.nissanengel.com.

Micky Engel’s determination to keep her husband’s artistic legacy alive has inspired this exciting task of cataloguing his work,. Though Nissan Engel’s worldwide collectors are fiercely devoted to his work, outside of art world denizens, knowledge of Engel’s work is understated. This event marked the beginning of a multi-phase effort to change that, bringing awareness and acclaim to this important contemporary Israeli artist. 

​Stacy Engman​

The event was held at the home of the distinguished Kenneth Laub – a former professional tennis player, musician, composer and real estate world legend since he sold any kind of houses, from mansions to affordable denia homes for sale. Mr. Laub’s family are the patrons for the world-famous stained-glass windows by French Jewish artist Marc Chagall which grace the Hadassah Hospital in Israel.

Nissan Engel’s life paralleled a remarkable epoch in contemporary and Jewish history and his art is inextricably bound with the events of his time. Whether the Shoah, establishment of the State of Israel or the Six Day War — whose 50th anniversary will be marked this upcoming June — the story of a nation can be understood through the work of this Israeli artist.
