@RastaBuddhaTao What would you recommend for cleaning the copper/contacts?

I noticed a slight drop in top speed and cleaned my contacts the other day (first time in about 6 weeks). I wiped it all down with a lens cleaning wipe that smelt like ISO, and then with a dry tissue. Worked like a charm. There was a lot of build up between brass screw and copper door and also in the threads. Grab the post through lens wipe and twist around, then twist a corner of the wipe into a point and jam it through the female thread on the brass I did this till I felt the threads engage and couldnt get any more through. Then cut off excess and turn the screw like your doing it up till the wipe comes out the opposite side than which you started.
This all took aroind 5 mins, I dont think there is much need to get too serious polishing (unless you want to of course) especially as it will most likely need doing again in 4 to 6 weeks any way...

I noticed where the brass contacts the copper door although it was very dirty there was not much tarnish, I guess the contant twisting of brass on copper sorts that out.

What I like most after I have done this is how much better and smooth the threads feel. No longer stiff and a little crunchy but smoooooooooooooth. Guess that could be the indicator a clean is due when its harder to twist your knob (or is it when you feel your knob grinding):razz:
Sorry immature humour.

Decided to spice things up a bit last night with the 14mm long stem when I randomly found it while looking for extra basket screens ... the one in my 14mm M2M disappeared (found more tho, we good!)

This stem restricts airflow more than any other stem I have .. not sure why. Guess it's the 14 + its long length = poor airflow.

When in the mood it's great! I know some of you would enjoy the airflow more than the stock stems .. all preference!

Flavor is good, coolness is good, but still leaves enough heat to gauge temp while feeling as if you're sipping warm tea....nothing hot, just ..

...pleasant.

Nice set-up AJS. Another way to add restriction on the fly is to restrict the air inlet with a finger.

So, tomorrow a Milaana is being sent to Dope Magazine with the possibility of getting in the "Products we Love" section. If ya love Milaana, contact Dope and let em know.

I also received my Medicinal Cannabis status here in NY. Unfortunately it is only for oils but it's a start. The law reads vaporization as being acceptable and is being interpreted as only oil. I plan to be active in pushing for flower vaporization. @cannabis.pro is active in VT and has inspired me to do so as well.

Top hat?...what is this if i may ask...and also can anyone fill me in on the current milaana status?...im noticing some models have recessed glass intakes and some are raised above the units base....i would prefer the recessed...and finally can anyone reccommend a good place to buy one around 4/20 for the best price?...all feedback is much appreciated.

You can find the stems with top hats here as well as sweet new Mi's!

Good luck!:rockon:

Edit: I got a shipping confirm within hours of ordering, doesn't get better than that:rockon::rockon:

They're all recessed now unless you somehow get a super old version. Just choose n buy. You'll love it.

Be sure to check out our homepage to take advantage of our #420Sale. There is a link there to the 10% code. Let me know if you have any questions. Hope to have more units up soon we don't have many Cherry or Walnut left.

I thought they're not fully recessed anymore, cause Ryan found the optimum distance to the heater needs a bit more room..? Might be wrong though. Definitely just grab a Mi and enjoy it. They all deliver the same :)

I've been graced with the opportunity to try the new @DDave mod. Got a few thoughts on it, some amazing ... some that need more experimenting through trial and error, some comments, etc etc

First of all, if you guy have had his other 14mm mod, you know how much you enjoy it. But...you also may have noticed not 100% the best quality. I'm not knockin the mod at all (I'm a utilitarian guy), but my stem had a little bit of a crooked mouthpiece and little things like that. Nothing at all that would effect the use, just looks. But this new mod looks very professional ... it was the very first thing I noticed. Where the frosted meets clear is just so smooth, the tips are smooth and refined ... it's just a quality cut piece of glass. Very good upgrade compared to the glass I got first from him (YMMV).

Before we get started, I must say ... my Milaana is slightly too cool to get the full benefits of this mod due to the added distance from the heater and the nature of the mod. It still worked great, and once I get my hotter Milaana back it will be an insane power house. Want to know how I know? I threw this bad boy on our LSV, cranked the temp up, and ripped the shit out of it.

For those who don't know ... the LSV can be pretty fucking harsh dry, even with very long stems. I let my LSV owner friend (sold him mine) use the mod first, and he looks at me, blows out a massive cloud and goes dude .... the vapor was practically cold. I'm like no way that's BS. First we look at the herb and it's nearly still completely green from a micro pack (we got about 5 hit total), so he passes it to me, and boy was he right. The way it is set up ... with the holes to disperse the airflow and the curve in the stem ... I don't know man, it just comes out cool. Anyone with a DDave mod knows he is all about making vapes as cold and as flavorful as possible ... and this mod sure does that.

Enough back story, time to get into the mod itself.

First things first, this mod uses absolutely no screens. The end of the 18-14 reducer is closed off with tiny holes that act as your screen. This is what you pack ... so you just drop some herb into your reducer ... not your stem. It's a bit funky at first, but it has a ton of benefits. One is the almost perfect even cooking every time (so far with testing). You can also pull your mod out and flip it over and just look through the Male end glass and see how brown your herb is. Can also give the Male end a quick flick and toss your herb around without needing to stir (although I haven't really been stirring much).

So after you pack the reducer, you just drop your stem ontop of it and attach the kek clip if you wish. The stem has 4 small holes in it and is not fully open of course ... or else your herb would fly down your throat lol. MUST SAY ... this reduces the airflow quite a bit. Makes it a bit more like the grasshopper. I ... personally ... would prefer more small holes in the stem in order to increase the airflow ... but screenless options always have to find ways around scooby snacks, so it's understandable. I think more holes would do wonders for me though. The stem doesn't sit at the very bottom of the adapter ... it leaves some room for your herb. Something we tested was ... we packed a large bowl and used the stem to squish the herb ... which creates a rosin like effect, mixing heat and pressure. Very interesting ... similar to how the vapman works if you wish to pack it that way. DDave recommended to "start small".

I have found that coarse, fluffy grind works great for multiple reasons. One of the main reasons is functionality, and that you don't want your holes to get clogged with tiny kief particles. Obviously a result of that would be small scooby snacks coming through if too fine. This is really only an issue if you grind to a powder ... just keep it sorta coarse and you're good to go. I've noticed a "coarse is better" type of deal with DDave mods. Increases airflow without disrupting any flavor terps through the grinding process of getting it too fine.


SHORTENED SUMMARY:
New mod has no screens, you pack the reducer then throw the stem over it
Mod is farther from the heater, making cooler, more flavorful vapor
Airflow is reduced because of the holes in the glass, but it disperses the heat much better and removes hotspotting almost 100%
Stem has a little bend in it, making it look very sleek while also helping to cool vapor
If your Milaana runs cool you may not get the full benefits unless you do a long preheat - shortening battery life overall
Quality of the glass has improved quite a bit

Get back to me for any questions ... I've only done a night of testing, and need to get my hotter Milaana back from my friend for more, accurate testing. My experience was done using a cold Milaana and a cranked up LSV.



And yes ... that is a Dragonball Z dab pad, and yes ... Goku is throwing a dab spirit bomb to fuck up Piccolo.

If you're wondering what those dried plants are in the first picture .. it is dried lavender straight out of our hydroponic garden. mmm mmm mmm ... the smells!

About where my thumb is ... is where the Male joint of the 14mm ends ... leaving the remaining space for herbature.

Wellllll fuckkk @DDave I guess I know what my first order from you will be... I've been dying to cut out mesh screens for a long time and this seem like my ideal way to do it! Will there be a male to male too so it can connect to your latest cooling wand as well? I don't remember what version that is at, just didn't see it in the photos... Maybe a shorter stem option too?

Also @AJS I thought your spalted was still plenty hot, that your v1 was just a little more unleashed so to speak? I only have v1, for now

I have a v2 and the original DDave 14mm mod is my go to with the milaana. When you dial in it's as effective as the 18 mm but uses much less material. Dialing in involves figuring out button time, since the mod sits a little farther away from the coil it takes a longer hold. This one seems even farther away so may take even a little bit more pre-heat. I'm sticking with the original 14 mm mod. I have no problems with the screens.

Not sure really! May not be on the site yet I have no clue, haven't checked. I've just been in touch with DDave.

It's easily hot enough for the 18 stems, just hot enough for the regular 14s, but is just under what id like for this mod.

I know you like airflow control .. must reiterate the lack of airflow on this mod at its current state compared to the 18s. Interestingly though, you can pull pretty damn hard and still get thick vapor. I still need to experiment with packing for airflow .. will have more updates tonight.

Exactly my thoughts! Gonna order one from @DDave and try it for sure, lately I was using a reducer and a 14mm stem with some hemp fiber (it's a shorte stem and vapor can be harsh at higher temps). Can't wait to try it.
This stem is still really short but if it can make an LSV as smooth or smoother than the super long stem ... something is done right. I think it's because it limits the hot air and a lot of it cools as it enters those holes. Again .. could just be honeymoon phase and I could have some issues with heat down the line but so far it's looking super smooth.

Wow. That seems like a pretty much ideal solution for easy packing and easy cleaning.
Right!! So interesting how it was made. Never woulda thought of this. I was expecting something totally different (he didn't tell me what he was sending me), and when it arrived my jaw just sorta dropped for a couple minutes lol.

I think the glass bottom screen is stealing heat, that is why it is smoother, but the draw restriction could also help some conduction build. I bet you could pack this well without stirring and still get very even thorough extraction perhaps... Draw restriction could be helpful sometimes, may be good for sharing

This new v3 mod may not be appropriate for the cooler og milaanas, bummer because that looks to be a very sweet setup congrats @DDave! I have the 14mm mini-mod but the screens get dirty so fast so they're always out of rotation. I can just use the 18mm baskets partly full if I want less of a dose. I have the top hat system on order I hope it works with my milaana, but it's also in anticipation of going full zion. It would be nice to have a comparison of these two glass systems at some point, they both seem to be really nice.

but the screens get dirty too fast

Yeah those little top hats don't stay clean for long. I just try to keep the bottoms clean. Dump and scrape as I go. Even with my less than sterile technique, my Milaana requires little maintenance. A screen soak when I want to bother and an occasional stem wipe.

I like both the RBT Milaana 18 mm stems and the DDave 18mm stems, mostly with a full bowl. The Milaana is formidable with them. But I can't get half-full bowls to work well for me on the 18 mm stems.
