Bundled Enail Kits For Your Convenience

My bundled enail kits make it easy for you to grab all of the essential gear you need to bring your dab game to the next level. I packaged together the best value from each price range if you’re not quite sure which options might make the best value enail kit to upgrade your dab game. They include my personal choice of the best gear to match.

Top Value, Function, and Affordability

These packaged deals are the top shelf round-ups of what I have found to be the best value gear and give you ideas of what I would choose if I knew more in the beginning of my dabbing “career”. For example. check out this heady compact bundle for the absolute best compact bundled kit at a mid-range price-point.

Enail Kit Add On Options

The rest of these enail kits have flexible add on options to mix and match only the parts that you need to complete your setup. You have the freedom to match the individual parts yourself with these options. Choose a minimal kit or make it complete with just about every dab accessory you’d ever want. However, for the best roundup of gear look to the bundled enail kits for my top picks. Said guide has some helpful information about what each part actually does and it’s benefits.

Mission

My mission is to find you the best enail kit for your particular situation and at the most affordable price. Therefore I might end up contacting you before shipping to make sure that your order is correct. Sometimes an order comes through that just doesn’t make the most sense for the customer and I normally will catch any mismatches that I can spot. I understand there are a lot of options and sometimes matching parts and accessories gets tricky. I want to make sure that after your long dab-venture that you end up with the best setup that you can at an affordable price.

Where The Magic Happens

I design and perform final assembly on all enail kits here in Oregon. That includes wiring, careful packing, and shipping as well as design. The only things that aren’t made in America are the raw components themselves, which are time-tested and reliable industry standard parts from China. The injection molded enclosures are made in FL and select glass is also blown here in America.

Enail Kits Proven By The Test of Time

Since 2015 many happy heady customers worldwide have trusted RCCtools to design their beloved enail kit setups. I get great joy out of infusing your daily driver with a personal touch. You can be sure to find the best functionality here at the lowest price and with the quickest ship times possible. That being said, some customization requests may take some extra time to work out the particular kinks before it’s ready to send out. Choose RCCtools for the best functioning enail kits with the best value for your hard earned dollar!

Standard Tech In Each Enail Kit

How does one find the best enail kit with the maze of options and brands on the market? You should know that the same basic electronics circuits power 99% of the enail kits on the market today. In fact, the same CPU has been cooking your pizzas at your local Domino’s likely since you were born! This industry standard tech has been trusted for years in multiple billion dollar industries. You might be surprised to find out which but the PID algorithm can be used to optimize a wide range of values whether it be temperature or steering wheel position on a self-driving car. Therefore, there isn’t a whole lot of difference in the internal electronics. The main difference comes in the design, pricing, accessory options, and customer service.

Design, craftsmanship, aesthetics, local proximity

Plus, customer service and design care makes all the difference. Some units surprisingly still are not fuse protected, surprisingly! Each unit includes a removable and fast blowing fuse that is cheap and easy to replace if need be. You’ll probably never even touch it, however it’s good to know it’s handy should you need to change it out.

What Do I Need For A Complete Enail Bundle?

Bundling all the right gear into the perfect enail bundle can be complicated without wasting money and time trying to figure it all out. That’s why I rounded up of the best add-ons I could find and put it all in one place. It’s understandable that you may have some questions about what you need to make a complete set. Besides the controller and power cord, the main three items that you definitely need are a heat coil, dab nail, and a dabber tool. Of course you will need a dab rig as well. Check out the dab accessories guide for more details about the most common accessories you might want to consider bundling with your enail kit.

Just Add Water (And Some Sauce)

After you have your setup plugged in, your tools and q-tips arranged, and water added to the rig chamber, just add your product: sauce, CBD, or whatever product you prefer to dab on! Adjust temperature by using the up and down arrows then just let the temperature reading blink a few times before it sets itself to your desired temperature. For more detailed instructions, check out the enail instructions page.

Personalize Your Enail Controller

Create your ideal enail bundle with custom color options and accessories. You can input colors in the checkout notes to compliment your existing gear. Do you have another heady idea for an e-nail enclosure? The custom enail cases here are often made from ideas coming from customers like yourself. If you have a heady enail dream idea that you want brought to life please don’t hesitate to use the contact page!

How does an enail work?

The Heating Element​

To make things simple, an enail heating coil employs a widely used sensor called a thermocouple to give temperature feedback to the enail controller. The thermocouple component changes it’s voltage based on heat energy differences across it’s conductors. This voltage value is sent to the controller’s PID unit, and adjusted as adjusted according to the temperature which you have set. PID refers to the brains of the controller, and the heart of what keeps your e-nail conveniently and steadily ticking away at just the right temperature (more about PID’s later in this article).

The Relay​

When the controller senses that the coil temperature is lower than the temperature you have set on the LED screen, another electrical component called a relay comes into play. A relay is an electronic component that has the ability to make or break a circuit, depending on if it has received an appropriate power signal. When the heat coil needs more heat the relay will close and allow power to flow through to the heat coil, heating it up. The relay will open back up to cut power when enough heat energy has been applied.

When the enail relay receives the signal to provide heat it bridges two paths of power together with a conductive material, allowing power to flow through. When the signal is removed, the relay lifts the bridge between the two paths, so power can no longer flow through. A relay in an enail can open and close multiple times per minute, to pulse just enough power to reach the desired temperature, or to remove enough power to drop to the desired temperature.

The PID Controller​

The PID can be thought of as the brains and the heartbeat of the enail, as it provides the correct amount of energy pulses to achieve the correct flow of power and heat. It regulates it’s pulses based on the voltage of the coil’s thermocouple to adjust and correct temperature on an ongoing basis. The amount of electricity going to the heat coil is determined according to this feedback mechanism. If the coil needs to cool in order to reach the set temperature, the pulses will become longer. If the coil needs to heat up to reach temperature, the pulses of electricity have longer pauses in between.

In a nutshell, PID allows for the most accurate and steady calculations of what the previous temperature was, how much energy was used, and what energy adjustments need to be made in order to hit the set temperature on your controller. The values are adjusted in real-time, taking into account external feedback. This feedback can be influenced by environmental conditions, yet still regulated in a self-learning way. In a way, one could argue that a PID controller could be considered to be an ancestor of narrow artificial intelligence.

PID is an electronic mechanism that has been widely used across many industries which require electronic values to be “steered” on an ongoing basis to meet a desired condition. The PID algorithm is the go-to in many industries using heating and cooling appliances besides just enail controllers. You may have guessed that most of these applications involve temperature adjustment, such as in cooking ovens, refrigeration units, etc., but did you know that many vehicles also use the PID algorithm for cruise control? PID has also been used in self-driving vehicles and cruise ships to keep the wheel steered in the right direction and stay on course. In fact, a PID feedback mechanism can be used for regulating pressure, weight, flow rate, or almost any other similar class of parameters in applications that involve adjusting a measured process variable to a desired set-point.

“Where does the name PID come from?”, you ask. It is an acronym that stands for proportional integral derivative. These three parameters are what combine to maintain the desired values. The parameters all work together to determine the perfect amount of energy to keep your nail at your set temperature. Now you know how your enail works, and Bill Nye would be proud.

Another fun fact: you may be surprised to know that your electronic nail controller can also be used for cooling by simply reversing the sensor wires and adding a cooling element instead of heating.

What are the 5 pins on the coil plug?

Almost every enail controller uses a 5-pin connection for the plug on the heat coil. In some rare instances you may find that the plug only has four pins, but it’s pretty rare. For 5-pin connections, you will find that two of the pins connect to AC power, two connect to the thermocouple, and one connects to ground. One common misunderstanding is that any coil with a 5-pin connection of the same size will fit any enail controller with that same size plug. The issue is that some companies chose to use a non-standard wiring to confuse the customer and make them think that they can only purchase replacement coils from the original manufacturer. Some will even misinform their customers if they ask which wiring their controller plug uses. This practice is misleading and could even be dangerous. It ends up causing more frustration and resentment than loyalty, in my experience. Check out this guide for more information about how to find a compatible coil for your e-nail controller.

Can an enail be used on a portable DC battery pack or a Euroean power source?

Most enail controllers that come from the US are made to run on 120V AC power. That being said, many e-nails will also accept a 220V AC power source. Check with your supplier to be sure before purchase to be sure. If the controller will accept a 220V AC power source you will also need to make sure your coil runs on 220V AC power, as well as having a compatible wiring configuration (as mentioned above). You will also likely need an adapter for the power cable that converts from a US plug to a Euro plug.

If you want to run your enail on a portable DC battery pack you have two options. Either you will need to get a power pack that has a built-in AC inverter or you will need an enail and coil made specifically made for DC power. DC power enails are harder to find, so your best bet is most likely going to be going with the first option with a built-in inverter. Keep in mind, if you are running a 220V setup you will need to make sure your power pack is rated accordingly.

When was the first enail made?​

Good question! I would love to know this myself. From my personal experience, I found out about enail controllers in 2015 on the enail subreddit. At the time they seemed very new and novel from what I was reading online, and I knew nobody that had one IRL. When I made my first set I was the only one in my circle that had one, and the only company that I knew of that was making them was D-Nail. A set cost well over $400 at the time. If you have any more information on the origins of the first enail, please reach out! I would appreciate any info you may have!
