the big advantage water cooling is if you're going to use an enclosure the temp inside would not allow you to cool the hot end enough. Bob tends to post on a lot of things that I think he knows nothing about or has tried. Delusions of his intelligence I thinkQuote

Hmm, another advantage is that if the hotend catches fire it can be automatically extinguished.
Also, you could wash the filament in the warm water before it goes in the hotend, make sure it's nice and clean.
I guess there are several advantages I overlooked

Dirty Steve
best ABS prints you've seen? ok...
Smaller detail capabilities? better bridging(can see not even with blurry video)? cleaner overhangs than any other hot-end on the market(video)? Try printing a 10mm Pink Panther woman or a full bed of chainmail.
Surely you have not tested all hot-ends available out there, just because it is better than what ever your prior hot end was, on your machine, does not make it better than any on the market.
When we see a true innovation, we acknowledge it.....
Kinda sounds like you are pre-Kickstarter hype marketing to me.
We may seem a little harsh, but do you have any idea how many 'best printer out there' claims have come across this forum that couldn't stand the light of day?
Do a forum search on Japica......

I am very familiar with professional printers they use outside chamber air source and a plum it through hoses and plastic manifolds actually it's a very complex system and hard to make just to make one-of-a-kind some actually some even use refrigeration to cool the air where is water cooling is easyQuote

Thanks, dick. There are some professional 3D printers that have dual extruders in a heated chamber and only use air cooling. Seeing as these printers cost $30,000+ if water cooling was a particular advantage I think they would use it.
Generally, I try to only post about things I do know about, if I am not sure I will use words like "I think" or "I guess". If I really don't know, I will say so. It is true that there are people around who just post crap though.

...i could list all the faults of other hotends, but i dont need to..i dont need to talk when i can just show more pictures of its awesome sauce prints.

..did i mention it heats up and cools down in 90 seconds flat? Thats always a bonus and I am pretty sure there is no other hot end out right now that can beat or even match that...in my opinion.

Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not but the last thing I want my filament touching is water...I have enough trouble with polycarbonate as it is.

I will confirm that the water-cooled hotend has officially extruded PEEK, unfortunately though until the price per foot on the material goes down, it is nothing more then to show the overall capabilities that having water cooling can produce..Your smoking kraken if you think any other hot end out right now is going to let you reach 390c*.
(update) -This was done with a ultimaker's 19V supply, and room temp to 350C in 60 seconds
*-Sorry for the mispost earlier I stated 600c when in fact it was actually 390c. C/F confusion.
