Oil on top of herb, oil mixed in with herb. First hit is the preheat melt, next hits get ya.
Exact same for me. Was worried about warranty but it seems he's stepping out from under the water and is finally heading towards the stars. I was more worried during the Zion Preorder, once Milaanas got rolling, I was pretty confident things would look upwards.
I completely agree! Most of the beta testers have seemed to be nothing but honest, and everything they've said about this unit has held true for me.
Once you've heard the crackle the herb stays pretty much where it's supposed to. And when you find the perfect screen depth you'll barely ever need to clean it. The glass gets resiny tho, and if you have some organic cotton or degummed hemp fiber you can use that as a pull-thru, then stuff it into the stem and vape it. Simple versatility

Well @DDave has his MIL now and I have had his first pass at the mod from the items he has on hand and tested it all the last few days.
Did someone say micro-dosing? well here is a 14mm tapered down bowl, which yes I do realize kinda defeats the purpose of the 18mm female on the unit itself but it does allow a tiny micro bowl screen. This really is the final cherry on making this thing like a portable log, as it reduced the bowl size to near the nano.
The adapter I have cut down to be more flush with the 14mm glass joint.
The taper on the 18 and 14mm mouthpiece is not a wide bore here and is pretty nice in the mouth overall, but I think something in-between what i have here and the stock RBT ones would be my ideal.
Here it is with the 18mm tapered stem.
Speaking of which did you notice the kick-ass basket screen tips? They work well seem durable so far clean easy in ISO/ETH and best of all can hold keif with 0 particle pass-through!
The above image shows on the left a RBT stock stem, on the right is a cut down ISO stem to match the relative length. Please note how this decreases the internal diameter as the glass wall is thicker, just something to note. This pick also shows off the screen well. The ISO stem has a RBT screen installed in it.
The screens @DDave has fit an RBT stem perfectly with a little bit of a scrunch on the first install, then a snug fit then on.
I have had 0 issue with the stem contacting with the heater screen with this basket screen installed on the top of a stock stem, tho I do believe the final revision will have a bit more space to work with here for safety of the unit itself.
Also something to note, which I forgot to take a good PIC of is the stem itself has an internal screen below the basket screen, which is a good second layer to catch something. But more importantly you can load between the basket and the internal screen, for a lower bowl (similar to how the stems come with screen installed from RBT) so what this allows you to do is pack the same stem in 2 locations.
Then what about double-decker bowls like the SUB? Herb in the internal chamber hash ETC in the basket?
You can see the internal screen in Pic # 1 and 4 in this post, its visible from outside the unit.
If anything here seems up your ally hit @DDave up and hop on in with us in the beta of developing this mod.
Pretty sure he also has the screens available if you just want those.
For the rest of the items in the kit, they work out of box and also fit the stock RBT stems quite nicely.
. For the record, RBT produces Convection Vaporizers for aromatherapy.
Excerpted from an E-mail with Ryan used with his permission.
" I really want to aim the marketing at holistic healing through herbal aromatherapy...
Many people are having issue with e-juice, tobacco, and 420.
... I also want to speak to the fact that we use wood from managed forest and maximizing our use of "log landing salvage stumps" When wood is logged it is cut to lengths conducive to shipping and the stumps are left to rot because they are too short to sell at top dollar. I work with smaller mills here in update NY to use the stumps as a means of sustainably. My end goal is a company that puts the employees and customers before profits. In fact, I am, and plan to remain cash neutral through the rest of the year ... But at least I'm not still blowing mc 401k... With some sales starting I think I can stay out of the red.
It's funny, the Chinese have so devalued labor such that Americans look at things with 6 hours or labor in it and go.. Yeh $60 tops... Because no one actually works in America anymore to know that it translates to less than $5 an hour. Steve jobs drove a stake in it creating the "smart" phone giving an excuse to our kids to stare into a "box of everything" while the reality of the world goes by. I am fighting the good fight and have kids from my home town drilling holes, using micrometers, learning ohm's law and experiencing it as their batteries deplete and the voltage drops. Apple had so many employees in China jumping to their deaths due to work stress they put up nets... Steve had it all and he blew it and added to the social demise of or country.... I will not make much of a difference but I will fight the good fight for the love of my country.... Angle Investor: " did you ever consider going to China to compete?" RBT: "Oh, yeh... Its in the plan, right after I jump to my death"
I might die trying.... But you can bet your ass I'll Die Hard!
Grass roots passion against corporate greed. If die I must, I will at least die with my red blooded American integrity knowing I went down swing for a good cause....
It's all in the name.... The Rasta, the Buddha, and the Tao
Feel free to use any or all of my rant you find useful. Building a brand is almost as hard as the physical company. I will get some pictures of the landing salvage area if I can."
This is the mission that I believe in!
Lol good to know I'm
That leaves a bad taste in my mouth. If he's referring to what I think he is it's not even true. That was a Foxconn factory and employees, not Apple. They supplied Apple as well as many others. They also have a low suicide rate among employees compared to the rest of China.
Apple is not the competition...it is an example of one company out of many that exploit cheap Chinese labor in order to satiate our need buy ever cheaper products.
I'm afraid you're missing my point. It is not classy to badmouth other companies. You risk alienating a lot of potential customers that could be reading this on an Apple device. I'm of the opinion it makes you look bad and I was offering it as a piece of friendly advice.
We agree to disagree.

Note: This is a beta release. While it is possible to install internal screens in the stems, it is a task I am looking to simplify! For this reason, am including 10 1" round flat screens that can be cut and installed. This takes some patience, so... am looking for an easier way to install..
