Yeah. I saw last night. Ooooweee that’s tempting. I have a better vape in my v1 than either v2 I’ve had.

You asked so I will try to answer. If you can afford it buy a Custom Z made in the USA by Ryan.
I personally lost the glass inside a V1 and a V2 Splinter. Neither of these vapes was dropped or even taken out of the house. I have numerous other vapes with glass chambers (3 Tubo models, Milaana, Custom Z, Custom hi Flow Splinter. I had no glass problems with these other vapes either.
The only glass problem I had was with the V1 and V2.
How is your replacement Splinter working out?
A small percentage of the first batch of units had wood that was fit too tight to the glass... when run at high temperatures the wood could shrink down on the glass causing excess stress... if this problem exist it shows up in the first 30 days and we have a repair by replacement policy which takes care of our customers who have experienced these failures. With proper use and care these things will last forever.
Some things to practice is to lightly apply the mouthpiece avoiding any side loading. It is also good to take out the mouthpiece when not in use as it is the lever that causes the stress that breaks the female glass. Always lay your mod down on it's side to prevent it from being knocked over. It is glass... it does break. The US made units have thicker glass and still will break all the same. Fragile... must be Italian?
All Splinters are on sale now... thanks to all for the continued support.
Thank you for the heads up!
Hi,
I just recently bought wismec RX gen 3 with the splinter Z. I was not able to load the myevic software, I had to use the Sur_myevice software. I got it to work in TCR 165 at 40w and 375 degree and .43ohm locked in. It works well with Cuise control. I would like to know if TCR 165 if safe. When I try to use it at TCR 120 at 40w and 375 degree and .43ohm locked in, after a few seconds on cruise control it reads low atomizer and at times check atomizer. If you could send me any pointer it would help, thank you.

Ryan, who invented the Splinter, just said a few posts back that with proper care they'll last forever. To your point about the spare, I just sold a V1 to justify a ZV2 purchase. I considered another custom Z. I still own a pair of V2s and a V1. I'll be curious how the ZV2 compares to the custom Z because my V1 and V2 Splinters are notably more even and less hot spotty than my og Splinter, which I sold to a friend.
So you might try a ZV1 or ZV2 as a spare to compromise on cost. @Shit Snacks was just bemoaning broken glass issues with his Chinese manufactured Splinters but I think those concerns are overblown. Ryan was explaining that it was a design issue with the first batch and my experience is consistent with that. I think @Shit Snacks endured multiple breaks and decided to stick with the custom Zs. I went the cheapskate route and have four Chinese Splinters that are all in rotation and working great.
In both cases we're solving the problem of liking the Splinter so much we'd hate to ever be without one. I thought about another custom Z but my blackwood V2s are so great and I thought the cheaper ZV2 would look good on the three cell DNA250C that arrived yesterday.
The finish on my Chinese Splinters is also aging better than my bubinga custom Z, which is looking much closer to unfinished after a year of use.

No, not me, you are thinking of @sickmanfraud LOL you even tagged me twice, fool!
I do still want a spare Custom Z though, instead of a ZV, though I like my V2 fine, I prefer the custom Zs personally... Just not the price lol
Wow better than the mv1! I Cant wait to try one, I have a splinter on its way to my home, not a z but I'm still excited!
. I even combusted once 
. Once I found my sweet spot it’s been wonderful!
. It runs a little different on all three of my box mods.sickmanfraud

Maybe the "Universe" is telling me to press on.
You told me "enough" and you get blamed. If you could see the smile on my face....
Back to the Splinter z, I would still recommend the Custom Splinter Z .
For a $40 difference in price I would say pay up, you will not regret it.
My guess is that you will always be able to pick up a Splinter of some V ersiin, but when Ryan runs out of the thick glass from Germany there will be no more Custom Z's.
Darn it, I'm talking myself in another Custom Z. Canary wood is calling my name.
@david8613 make sure you get a decent mod. It makes a real difference.

great, paid 199€ few days ago
Did you buy from someone who price matches? Will they accept returns if unopened?
Given the current low prices of foreign Splinters I think that the Z V1 or Z V2 may be worth the gamble.

TCR 120 is the way to go, in my opinion. SS is around 100, here's a mesh SS heater so the recommended TCR is around 120 as I understood.
Low atomizer? try to screw the Z not all the way in, not too hard into the 510.

I know this, and yet despite having a custom Z bubinga, and 2 Splinters (one a v2, one a custom walnut) I’m thinking of buying a purple heart custom.
