Ia! Ia! Vapor Fthagn!
ive had my stem crack from me putting it into the hole. Cracked around the tip. Was easy to fix. just ground down the cracked areas with some sand paper and put a small bevel back onto it so it fits into the hole no problem. Made it like 2mm shorter.

I've been using it native since I lost the stem while out on the town. I think it was the long stem, about the size of the box itself. Native is fine but you cant see the vapor flowing.. I think i'll look for a replacement.

I have used my one-and-only-shipped medium stem only a few times in the last month I have owned my LB and has already cracked in pieces. 
I was very careful with putting it in but it was very tight from the beginning and didn't last long.
Any recommendations for alternative stems (more durable ones)? Could it be a warranty issue? Nahhhh.....
Also another question: How do you control the temp with a medium or longer stem or whip??? I always tend to bake my stuff at higher temperatures when using them and end up with a lot of black ABV and harsh taste. I can't tell how hot it is because for me when vapor comes to the end of the tube it's always rather cold while the trench blackens my stuff.

how on earth do you people keep craking stems?!?!? I guess im just careful??
I lose them not break them. Blisssville will charge you like a buck or 2 shipping if you order stems only (I bought 5 a few months back and have 4 left) as long as you mention something in the comments section of your order. All said and done it was like $4 or $5 for 5 stems i think.
I still want a blown colored glass stem for home may have to have that custom made

I never lost or broke a stem. I just avoided the inevitable. The short stem also makes it easier to stash the lb in the console of my car.

Hey MF,
Just got the PA, looking forward to testing it
One bad thing I noticed within minutes, is that I get a small shock from touching the "battery" (when the unit is connected to the wall but not pressing the button), and also the screws that attach the cord to the "battery".
The electricity system in my country is 220V, so I use a converter, I suppose that's the reason?
Would it be safe to wrap some non-conducting tape around the part that doesn't go inside the LB?
Edit: Damn, when the "battery" is inside, the copper wire is conducting too, it gets tricky holding this thing now
Edit 2: Wow. An extra kiefy bowl produced such a huge cloud on the first hit... I don't care if it stings me, it's worth it.
Also, I've been using the short stem for over a year now, even after slightly ruining it with iso. Still like it better than native or the medium stem.

sounds like you are combusting...but you say you cant feel if its hot or not? mhmm thats odd, make sure you arnt grinding too fine you dont want it to be like powder or else it will burn in a heartbeat...i find i like to grind medium grade grind and fill the trench just below the top of the screen. make sure that the grind is right try that and get back to me

i was thinking the same my man, ive had no issue with mine granted ive only had it two week
mine is still in pristine condition. Its also my daily user since discrepancy during the day is a must and ive had no problem with chipping or cracking. For the second quote that sounds not like a may have but a must have gonna look into this

I feel it's actually over-cooking and not combustion because there are no traces of ash on the trench or even some resin. About the temperature now... I wonder if everyone has the same feeling of the temp in their mouths or it depends on the individual. When using the medium stem the temp seems lookwarm in my mouth. When native it gets a little hot but I like it. When I try with a straw the length is so big that vapor cools down before it enters the mouth so you don't have any feeling of the temp... Any thoughts?

Hi everyone! Got my LB in Nov 2010 and it is the truth. I was so exicted to receive PA #42 but it worked awesome for one day and quit. I sent a couple emails to MF and to blissville but I haven't heard anything in a week. In case they check these boards more often than they check their email, I figured I'd post it here, as I'm eager to partake in the awesome customer service I've read so much about on here.
