MaxVapor BT - E-Nail Controller (Version 1.4)
The most capable e-nail we know how to build — now with a cloud to match.
The MaxVapor BT is a precision PID e-nail controller, CNC-machined from 6061 aluminum and hand-assembled in the USA. It is the culmination of years of daily-dabber feedback: engineered to hold your exact temperature, session after session, and built to last for years.
New for 2026
Firmware v0.2.0 brings a wave of performance and reliability improvements, more accurate temperature control, and over-the-air updates — connect the unit to WiFi and it keeps getting better on its own, free for the life of the controller. The MaxVapor cloud is back online and actively maintained.
Your nail, from anywhere
Link your controller to the free MaxVapor dashboard to monitor and control it from your phone or browser, watch live temperature, and keep an eye on its history. And because the platform is open, it plugs into the tools you already use:
- Home Assistant — native integration for local smart-home control
- MQTT — bridge live telemetry to your own broker
- Webhooks — a callback on every event your automations care about
- Grafana — chart your sessions however you like
None of it needs anything installed on the controller — it all runs through the dashboard.
