True. Don't know what else to say haha but very true. I'm not exactly sure of the lifetime warranty and what it covers so I won't comment but other portables that use glass have similar downsides. I mean anyone who has regularly used a solo or air has probably spent a good amount of money on stems. But good point man.
Hey folks!
Until the new prototype Square comes along (soon actually) I have been reaching for my Milaana for my battery operated on demand portable needs.
I do use the stock shorty stems on occasion. I cap the joint with an Arizer EQ basket and create a chamber for the herb. I dont like filling the basket and having the herb in the outside. I know some like to use it that way but I RARELY will.
I know @Vape Dr. has some beautiful stuff from @Alan and he has his own mods but I thought I would share the setups I use most often.
First a group shot:
One of my favorite things about the Milaana is that works natively with a 18MM connection (just like my beloved Evo). Parts for these mods are from VXL, 7th Floor, Arizer, Triihouse (O rings), Delta 3D Studios [thx @ratchet] (Testing pressed screens for Milaana and they are working well, not as stiff as RBT screens but that can be an advantage in some setups) and the male/male adapters are off DH Gate and sold under the name Ander. I picked up five of those and I am glad I did. They have the short 22MM joint required to properly fit the Milaana. They are currently sold out and I am bummed. I like the short joint but also a very low profile so it keeps the height to a minimum. I would buy five more in a heartbeat if I could. I use the Delta 3D press screens here and an EQ cap to seal it. The seal is also nice cuz if you want a lower temp session you simple flip the adapter around to move the load away from the heater. High temp session? Put the herb into the female Milaana joint.
Here are the adapters:
All of the elev8 glass joints require an o ring. You cannot use the ground glass joint because it is too long. Actually you can drop it down in there but it won't lock into place. With the O ring about 3/4 down the joint you can not only create a seal but you can prevent the pieces from being loose and falling out.
The Green Elev8 wand is a custom piece for the DBV or SSV GG connection. This is the coolest vapor out of all the dry setups. It has a built in screen and I use an EQ basket to create a chamber in the joint.
Just pull the o ring up and put shove it in the Milaana.
The Rasta Elev8 wand used to be a female SSV Wand but broke the female joint. The Rasta part stayed intact so I took it to my local glass guy, sacrificed a long RBT stem and had him put the RBT joint on the Rasta wand. No O ring on this since it has the shorty joint. It also has a built in screen because it used to be a wand. Sweet!
The other green and red/yellow mouthpieces are for the SSV/LSV. If I recall correctly they are really designed for vape tamers which is how I discovered them. When using the Milaana out of the house I pretty much use these, an o ring and VXL elb exclusively. It requires no stir and is more forgiving than the Milaana stem because it keeps the load suspended a little further from the heater.
Notice the Apollo is in there too. You can pretty much adapt all this to that vape which is nice. I have been enjoying that one at home quite a bit lately. Ironically I use a long RBT stem as a WPA for the Apollo!
Here is another setup I like to use. Elev8 glycerin ash catcher which gives you cooling of the vapor but without water. Its a neat experience.
No stirring, even ABV, cool vapor and very tasty. All of these connections.
Let me know of any questions.
I don't know if I could part with it now but you can hit me up.
yeah I was afraid of that actually seeing how now you found some good use for it! Maybe some day I will have the privilege some way as well... Was originally thinking it'd be great for the Grasshopper actually. I'm still using my Lana dry with stock long and short stems though, occasional scratchy throat but with my useage tapered down its not an issue and so much simpler than dealing with a bunch of extra pieces... But I do want fancy glass! May get a proper j hook from OGB at least, to use with my enroute OmniVonG, and my GH too.
I haven't been following closely enough to know what US joint is but most everything 7th floor sells is the long joints. I do have one or two piece (different mouthpieces) that have the short ones that fit natively in the Mi but they are rare. This is why I add the O Rings so I can keep them locked and slightly elevated over the heater. I will probably grind them all down at some point but for now this works!
Yeah everything is ISO (can be modified with some work at least). I have like one or two pieces that are US. One is that Rasta but again that was a Mi long stem before and the OG wand had a female 18MM connection (which is great to stuff a reducer in and then an elb in that btw).Yeah, the US are definitely the harder joints to find. Here's a good image someone (can't remember who exactly or I would give direct credit) shared awhile back that provides a visual representation of the difference. All three are 18mm, but you can see the difference in length.
That looks awesome.Enroute from @Alan. Have a feeling this thing is gonna rock! Plus a pair of Joda's midsize (halfway between long and short stem), one red & blue drip, one BLACK drip.
Love it.
Hmmm... Familiar pic.Yeah, the US are definitely the harder joints to find.

I wonder if there is a way to make that a sticky somehow...
