The Turbo G43 Is Finally Happening
POSTED ON
It's finally time for the Turbo G43.
All pieces of the puzzle have finally come together after almost a year of efforts. I'll be building these myself one by one, harnessing my OCD to ensure you get only the best.
Update 4/30/26: I updated the main G43 page and added some photos, video clips, and a full description.
Pictured above is the Turbo G on the right and the 18mm glass bowl on the left (bowl is also available in 14mm). These two pieces make up the core G43 kit.
There have been a few changes & upgrades with the Turbo variant of the G43 compared to the OG configuration...
- Larger heating element is ~50% more powerful (runs at ~18w versus ~12w)
- White sapphire corundum balls (clear rubies) in place of borosilicate balls
- Clear/polished glass joint instead of ground/frosted glass
The other main difference between the two models is that the OG model has a "built-in" bowl, you load your flower directly inside the vape it self, whereas with the Turbo G the entire vape is the heating element, and you use a separate bowl for your flower (like a typical ball vape).
For power supplies there are a couple of options that I'm happy with: 1) the $20 variable voltage wall adapter (12V 5A), and 2) the $55 FNIRSI power controller (DPS-150). I will have stock of the $20 adapter if you need one, and also will have stock of the power wire that you'll need if you get a FNIRSI, since it doesn't come with one. I will not be selling the FNIRSI myself, you can get one on Amazon and also from their website directly.
Optimal load size in the included bowls is ~0.1g-0.15g and you can expect 2-4 good hits from that amount. You can vary how many hits you get depending on how hard and how long you draw for.
The typical operating range for the Turbo G43 is 6.8V-7.4V while drawing just under 3 amps, which equates to approximately 18-20 watts.
Oh yea, I'm getting some nice Walnut wood handles made also, as an upgrade option if you want something more robust than the stock glass handle. I'll have pics of the handles very soon.
Anyway, just a quick update for you. I'm going to start sending units out any day now and will provide as many details as possible before you start receiving them, but as always if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
If you're on the waiting list I'll be reaching out soon when I have a unit built and ready for you. To get on the list send me a message here.
Thank you all for your interest in this project and for your amazing support along the way.
Stay up!
