TinyMight / TM 2

Sorry, can’t remember if I read it here, or elsewhere but there was a TM owner that had his heater going way over temp.

That case was about a device (or two even) that allegedly was „shooting flames“ through the tube – so way beyond combustion and a bit questionable.

However, it *is* weird that combustion is occurring with the dial at 5, I think another case reported here also involved a lower temp setting. Hm. I myself use a pretty wide range of temps and never had any problems with overheating, also don't think I could deliberately make a session combust on me, so I don't think grind consistency or the like is the culprit here.

I remember the first case involved a rig and possibly the device being turned upside down during a hit (can't quite remember), @karec, how do use your TM mostly?

I think we should ask the maker whether he thinks it's okay to use the TM with a rig (more suction?) and esp. upside down (is the board isolated from the heat? Could it affect temp reading? long term damage?).

Edit: We made it to page 100! :-)

I only used a few time upside down and this happen in normal position....

Yeah you're right but i think its ok unless you push it too far.... but good to know...

Maker said wait 5 seconds after adjusting temp before hitting.

Edit:
The silicone cap that comes with Grav stem works as excellent 18 mil, maybe 14 mil too, male adapter.

They look like this:

such a high-quality and effective device, I will always support that there are at least 1000 pages in this thread ..

I think the heater is quite prone to debris. I've not had it happen but I can see how with a loose fine grind bits could find their way inbetween the coil spiral. That'd definitely combust I'd say. Maybe gradual build up under the heater and turning it upside down a load dropped onto the element? I think maybe something to include in a cleaning routine.

I've been using heavily since I got it, and my feedback is still the same. I've had no gremlins or quirks. It's just a great vape.

It does definitely need a high drain quality battery. I've tried lower discharge (less than 20a) batteries and they just don't last. As soon as the voltage drops the device just shuts off as they can't cope with the pull. I'm getting through 2 vtc5 a day, that's about 10-12 biggish bowls on 6-7. The battery capacity haptic is a bit redundant really for me as most batteries seemingly can't cope below 3/4 on setting 6 plus anyway.

Seems there was a bug in the initial batch regarding the session mode, since i never used session im suspicious that accidentally after replacing the bat i turn the session mode and went to the max temp even with the dial at 5... i need to confirm this but seems its connected to that bug..... i cannot find any other explanation, a bit falling into the heater would not origin a combustion even at the stem i guess.... but its just imo....

Cheers

Today I finally received new motors + bottom panel (also an additional cooling unit as bonus!). I quickly installed it and finally my TM is working as it should. So as suspected by the maker the problem was a faulty motor and the haptic feedback is now working properly. Really happy about this and the great customer service provided

I have a fairly early model and I'm wondering if I have a slight problem with my heater but not with combusting. It seems to be running lower in temp than it originally did. Until recently, I never went above 6 simply because the extraction was so complete and my ABV was evenly dark brown. Now I can finish on 8 and not get quite the same results. the taste is of course a little worse and there is still some obvious green visible even after the halt of vapor production. I do have some newer strains that may be responsible for some of the changes, but it would seem unlikely that they would all extract this much differently. What makes it harder to diagnose is the fact that I have been trying to cut back on my usage. I might have to increase my frequency and quantity, for the sake of science and other members of course.

That's definitely something to look out for, although I should say that I didn't even had to clean the screen above the heater yet. Yesterday I disassembled my unit (tubeholder, screen etc.) to check the coil for debris and it looked spotless. But that might depend on usage scenarios, grind consistency etc.

What do you consider to be „results“? Both clouds and (of course) flavor are very much dictated by the strain (with every vape I suppose). The differences can be huge.

This is the only way I use mine...only used stock stem and CU on the maiden voyage....lol But I have no issues what so ever with my heater or other parts.....so far that I can tell. Unit is working same since I got it...and I use it quite often.

I would be cleaning the heater out as often as I could if I used the vape native direct mouth draw setup!

My ABV is the most noticeable change lately. During my first several months of TM usage I have probably used almost a dozen different strains and they have all looked remarkably similar by the time I'm done vaping. I've had enough experience over the last decade with a wide range of vapes to recognise the differences in strains and how they "cook" in each type of vape to think it is unlikely to be just coincidence for all my current herb to suddenly be different. I did try two of the strains in other vapes for comparison. The results from the Stempod Si were normal and very similar to what I was getting from the TM originally, which is what I expected considering the similarity . Then I tried some in my new Davinci IQ, a recent purchase that I couldn't pass up for $99, and again the results were comparable to other conduction vapes. And that was at a temp of 370f in the Davinci which I have always bfound to run a little cooler than it displays ( at least on my Miqro ). The only other thing I want to check is the battery. The first time I thought the TM was possibly running cool it had a freshly charged battery, and more recently I was still getting three haptic buzzes for charge level, however, the heat up time for level 6 took over ten seconds for the first cycle and eight for the second and they were in quick succession. That is up from 6 and 4 seconds when I first got the unit. I will try another battery today to see if that changes anything as well as another of the newer strains. Lastly, my friend Vaporific has a TM that I can try for comparison

Yeah, over ten / eight seconds heat up time is definitely not normal – do you use the stock batteries?

Sounds like it may be a battery issue. I misplaced my stock bat and started using Samsung 30q's until I ordered some Sony VTC5A's and what a difference using the vtc. I get faster heat-ups, higher heat at lower temps, more sessions before a charge.

Yeah, only the stock batteries. I ordered two extras when I got my TM. None of my other 18650's fit into the TM anyway and I didn't want to take a chance with another cell.

Anytime!

Hope everyone is well. Took a break yesterday, was up 18 hours for work (related to the pandemic) and can’t wait to resume my Tinymight honeymoon when work is over in several hours. This vape hits HARD - which is a darn good thing. Even with a partially or almost killed load it extracts the last drop very well. My last draw a couple of days ago nearly put me to sleep, which I need a lot more of this weekend with work being insane as it is. TGIF!

@Vaporific all right, our tm hits incredibly hard and accurately extracting everything as smoothly as possible. The main thing is fast and convenient. I don’t want to repeat myself, but I do it because I really like this vape

Simply the best... portable vape!

I’m to the point now where this vaporizer is the only thing on my desk. I haven’t even had to grind anything for about 3 days now, it’s definitely saving my stash! Not only are the effects of the crazy potent vapor amazing, they seem to last very long for me. I just took one of my cooling units apart for cleaning last night, and I’m impressed at how such a simple looking unit can be so effective. It’s definitely one of the best vaporizers to date!

On another note, could anyone be so kind as to post an image of their quartz glass tube holder? The site never showed an image for me, even when I decided to buy it anyway I’m assuming it replaces the aluminum ring above the Oring in the chamber?

Ya ... it happens to me constantly to give a breath or two ... put the TM anywhere and just remember that I didn't finish the bowl half an hour later or more.
This is crazy ... brutal effects with little material

It replaces the actual tube holder (under the red o ring, above the heating element):



I suppose this accessoire is for those who wish to avoid aluminum close to the air path. I prefer the more durable alu version, the glass tube holder actually seems to be quite fragile. The site even says

But be careful not to drop it on floor as it will break much more easily.

Definitely want one of these bad boys when we get to the other side of this crazy shit we’re in right now...I have Milaana’s, L’il Buds and a Nomad. These reports all ring true, and I love the small form factor...

Breaks super easy. I broke it before I could even use it. I bought three though, so can try again. Wet or lube your stem before trying to insert in the heating chamber. Any side to side motion will break the glass.. .. basically.

@VapeKnight, may i suggest you to try pressing on the dial with your finger while using your TM. Your loss of power could comme from a connection that went bad between the potentiometer and the bord ?

As my Tinymight honeymoon continues, I’m still learning the subtleties of the vibrations - more like paying attention to them . My only battery ran out last night on the second draw. Oh well, into the charger it went along with one of two new Sony VTC6s I received yesterday. That should remedy things soon - I started charging them last night but weren’t fully charged before bed so I unplugged them and continuing them now. They take a LONG time to charge in my Nitecores (D2 & I4). Is that typical for everyone? I prefer to charge them externally.

Also I’m going to use the dome screen again to keep the stem & CU cleaner. I haven’t even removed the CU yet from the stem (they were cleaned before initial use though). It’s starting to show a little love. We need to get better acquainted.

Don’t worry, I’ve already waked and baked with another vape while waiting for the TM...

I suppose your charger will charge them with 1A, maybe even 0.5A (when charging two batteries); the VTC6s have 3000+mAh, and that can take some time.
