I have tried multiple burn offs but there is still a "flavor" to the device if I inhale with nothing in the stem. Anyone else get that?

Your splinter and mod combo looks really nice.

What version of arctic fox are you running, my screen looks different.

Are you making coils glow? I don't think that's recommended?

@Shit Snacks is correct that I'm running myevic and not Arctic Fox and he's also correct that you don't need to match my settings for wattage. You can just set it to something in the 30W to 40W range, hold the button and start hitting.

As you're getting used to the Splinter ritual make a habit of turning the Splinter upside down to remove the stem with a very slight wiggle (rbt recommends removing with a wiggle rather than a twist) and look at the herb to see how brown it is and how even it is. I like to swirl my fingertip on top to sort of half stir without the need for a tool. Once you have a feel it's not necessary to do this very often, but it's the easiest way to see what the last hit or two did to your weed and can give you a visual cue to maybe raise or lower your wattage or temp.

Thank you for the tips, gonna try this. So I'm currently in wattage mode, it has 10 second puff cut off, is that ok? I was thinking 15 sec or 20 sec? When in wattage mode do I have to a temperature?

Yeah as I said you will just have to keep track of the 10 seconds to press the button again so it doesn't time out and shut off. I think if you press the up button and power at the same time you can access the secret menu to raise it to 15 seconds at least... to make it any longer you will need to go with a custom firmware, but it's not really so necessary. And no temp, no locked cold Ω, for wattage mode just wattage is all you need.

1st time poster in this thread.

Looks like I’m ready to join the Splinter train.

So my dumb question that I’m sure has been answered plenty is about batteries. I’m truly ignorant about this piece, went on Illumn and got completely confused.

Can someone please direct me to the correct type of batteries (e.g., should they be flat top)? The way batteries are described on that site makes my head spin...

I have no batteries. How many should I get? I’m guessing at least 4 so I can rotate while charging. Do you suggest more?

Thanks!

Flat top, yes. Four isn't a bad place to start, yeah. Illumn includes a plastic case with every two.

Most battery mods do run off of 18650 flat-top batteries but some run off of 21700. Have you picked out a mod for the Splinter? If so, which one is it and we can help confirm the needed batteries. If not, I'm sure recommendations for that can be given too.

That is exactly the info I needed. Thanks so much!

I think I’m gonna get the Wismec Reuleaux rx GEN3 dual box mod (thanks to @bossman !)

@Mr. Me2

Illumn.com, liionwholesale.com. or imr.com if in the US. All are reputable. Pick based on price, shipping cost, or location for faster delivery.

Although there are others, my preference is:

LG HG2 3000mah
Sony VTC5A 2600mah
Molicel P26A 2600mah

Take 2 different types to compare each mfr as you swap them to see which you prefer.

I would suggest the LGs & 1 of the other 2.

I’ve gotten very good results with the LGs and the Sonys.
