tu sabes...
As i said before i prefer the basket screen that came with the TM but i'm always testing...this is a fine screen from my crafty
That's an ideal screen me thinks.

There are videos online of similar glass blowing procedures with straight tubes. Butane torches can get just hot enough to work with glass but it takes too long to get to working temperature. Glass blowers typically use Propane, Natural gas, or MAPP.

Iv just started messaging a glass blower, speaking about getting a nipple/cooling stem made up for the TM... I'll keep this thread updated to let you know how it goes

Well i have a little glassblowers torch and a small tank. I cant do complicated stuff that involves fusing high mass stuff with it,neither i have the skills to. So glass screen is out of the question for now,unless i source ready made ones.Little bit OT, but always wonder how to make these dimples into a straight glass tube?

Bending borosilicate is a bit dangerous ,cause it causes stress to glass,which needs to be relieved via ANNEALING which is done for hours in a PID controlled oven and the thing is not only expensive to purchase but also adds a lot of cost to the electricity bill .They let me use the one at the studio i was taking the classes as i dont own one.Without the stress relief ,the glass can shatter at any moment,which includes while you are inhaling. Even when annealing is not done properly,the danger still presents,ones my gf bought a cheap chinese boro pendant which almost "exploded" while she was wearing it,so i would advise against trying it ,but if you are going to do it anyway,get MAPP gas(butane is too weak for the job )and a torch that can handle it,even the cheap ones will do the trick for the dimples. But then you gotta also find yourself a graphite tool which doesnt stick to the glass like metal ones when heated so you can actually make dimples,if you use a metal one you will most likely fuse it with the glass.
There is no middle road for it,in order to make safeglassware one should not make compromise skipping steps or using unsafe gear/environment to do it. I personally gave up on the idea of delevoping further in the field as it would require an investment in gear i could never afford in this country,unless i move to a better one ,this is it for now .

@GoldenBud – No, the device will only indicate its charge when being booted up.
Nop... already removed!
Too much air flow reduction.
I'm back to the original domed screen without the CU screen

Do need to buy these domed screens in another place?
and does so much original cu screen reduce airflow?

Not sure if I understand the question – I think the TM comes with one of those screens included, so you will be able to give them a try. I don't think they are sold as an extra part by TM – but they are very standard, you can make them yourself easily if you enjoy them. Just in case: you don't *need* those screen, I never used it.
Well actually not, at least for me the TM has a *very* free airflow. I don't know which vapes you own, but it's much more free flowing than for example a Dynavap, a Mighty or a DaVinci IQ. It's more like a Ghost MV1 or a Sticky Brick.

when your order is time he will reach out to you for repayment to ship it out. this happened to me and he will send you a message and an email to send to. the 30 day cancellation happens automatically.

oh glad to hear that, thanks. I have elev8r and lotus. I can’t wait for my TM in my humble collection. I'm a heavy fighter and this will be my first electronic powerful vape. I am in anticipation

Maybe it's just me but it seems like it always vibrates four times on boot up? Rather the same amount of time no matter the battery level for me, but maybe I am just not paying enough attention? lol I just kind of guess instead

@Shit Snacks – Maybe you have some kind of infinite battery?

Haha they definitely get weaker and you notice the long heat up time below 3.8v at least

You sure? Because since this is a regulated device with (probably) an upstepper¹, that should actually not be the case.
¹Not quite sure this is the right term – a function of the bms that balances volt drops or a low charge so the power you get will always be the same until the battery is dead.

It is very unscientific, with temp settings and other variables (like batteries amps, as LG HE4 has more than HG2 for example). In any case it is very minor and moreso when the battery is very low, but like I said I haven't been scientific about it... So no, I am not fully sure lol
Siebter

That's actually not a variable that applies when you are using a regulated device, because then it's not the battery that dictates how many amps will be taken. The max currency discharge indicates what max discharge would still be okay for a battery to give. If that's below the devices specifications, that's just bad luck for your battery.
Balancing low charges to the volts needed is one of the major jobs of the soft- and hardware of a regulated device. I'm quite sure the TM has this feature, because a) it's not exactly rocket science these days (e cig mods have been able to do so for many years on even higher power levels) and b) anything else wouldn't match my experience. As I said, I'm using the battery until it's (pretty much) dead (at ~3.2V) and I have never noticed a decrease of power.

Funny that was one of the things i think i notice is from 2 buzz down i feel a little downside to the power....
Keeping an eye on this too...
Cheers
Is 75 watts not enough for the required power?

Not heard back from glass blower yet, but got my ideas down on paper today (based on the stock 80mm stem)...
