They've all been little QoL or manufacuring "improvements" like not recessing the 510 connection to simply the process of building.
The ceramic base insulator shouldn't really change things much except maybe keep the mod a little cooler.

Has anyone here nailed down TCR for splinter with an RX GEN 3? I tried TCR 180 24 watts .24ohms locked on cruise but as soon as it gets passed 240 degrees it scorched it a little so something is off. Looking for the proper value so I can run accurate TC temps! Thanks homies! Old to vaping new to this forum.

Lower the tcr value by two and repeat until you get to a sweet spot level...every coil is different and will require a slightly different TCR value...mix in the difference in mods (sometimes even of the same make and model) and the role proper batteries play and you'll realize other peoples TCR values can be helpful, but they are just ballpark.

Now don't quote me but I believe the units shipping in January will be the parts coming from China which Ryan will initially hand assemble so he can check for integrity. Once he is sure that they are mfr'ed to his specs, they will be assembled in China. I think he may even be going to the factory to teach the employees the assembly.

Just be thankful that I didn't call you the wrong name in a scenario where it would have really stung.
Not so sure you'd slap me with a rose then.

Thanks for the continual important updates you provide. In particular, this message was very useful. At this point in my life, I don't check email compulsively.
I especially don't check since I started buying mods and related tech from Chinese firms. At this point, my spam folder seems to fill faster than a screen door on a submarine.

I can just imagine a few scenarios where the name 'KenZero' would have a stinging effect!
...it wouldn't feel good to be slapped by a rose either...the thorns and such.

was thinking about grabbing this underdog support splinter preorder.
Does anyone have any idea if the extra stems included are the cooling stems? or just extras of the regular stems? (I sent an email asking this, but not sure if I'll get a response in time)
also these only take the special 19mm ground shorter to 19mm right? so you can't just get standard custome stems or mini bubbler MP's to work with this?
Sorry if these have been answered before. trying to figure out a cuple of questions quickly before I pull trigger.
edit: oh and wasn't there a "long" cooling MP also? I can only find the junior on the site?
edit2: welp if you add the short cooling 19/19 to the cart it says out of stock there too...

Hi All,
First let me start by saying I love my Splinter. Its my daily driver and after owning more then a hand full of vapes I consider the Splinter the best portable Vape I've owned. My question for you wise men of this thread. And I only ask as I can't be bothered reading back thru the 130 pages to date. Has anybody got any stealth/portable cooling stem solutions? I'm aware of the xl8 stem at the RBT site. Has anyone used the short version? Does anyone have any other solutions for shorter cooling stems. I use the standard and am suffering from a sore throat from the hot vape. Was hopeful someone might have a solution that isn't a long ass stem or water tool.

I don't have any inside info but I'd bet money it's just a short basic stem, likely not even a colored one. The XL8R stems are still priced close to the deal for the chinese Splinter itself. There's next to no chance we start seeing them thrown in for free with a $60 Splinter pre-order.

It says that they ship in January, so even if you ordered now...I'm sure you would get the details well before it ships AND I'm also fairly certain that if the sale doesn't include the cooling stem, he would most likely give you the stems in substitute for a slight up charge...still well below market either way?
There was also mention of a Line...its good to be at the front of those...I still regret waiting so long to get on the nomad list!
Make the load a bit more dense, this will cause it to absorb more heat...you can also use a drop or two of flavored/unflavored VG.
Imo wood stems also take some of the heat out of the draw or you can get the new Xlr8r stem .
@DDave makes a good mod kit for the milaana to help with cooling too

Purchased a 2-hole Splinter around Halloween, and finally got around to getting a mod (actually 2) this past weekend. I'm not getting much, if any, vapor at all. I've tried slow draws, quick draws, 25 watts-40 watts. The plant material is turning a tan color, and was a bit dark brown when I tried 40 watts. But I'm not seeing any vapor, even if I puff on it like a cigar. I'm also only getting a very slight buzz off of 4 or so drags in a 5 minute period. I've tried holding the button down and drawing until the protection/shut off, as well as releasing before the shut off and immediately starting it up again. If I had smoked as much as I've used up trying to get this thing working, I would have passed out or been convinced I was dead, as I'm a light weight.
My first mod is an eleaf Aster, because I saw it was compatible with Arcticfox (which I have absolutely no clue how to use.) My other is a VooPoo Drag 1 (highest I went was 35 watts with this.) Both tried in wattage mode only.
Anyone have any advice on what to do? This is my first attempt with an herbal vape. I vape ejuice daily, and I'm certainly not expecting that kind of vapor level. But I'm starting to think this thing is broken, although I see no signs. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Not an expert by any means but I’ve had a few splinters and they all responded pretty consistently with this method- 40w preheat for 5 secs and then I drop the power to 26-27 watts and I get a nice delicious cloud with the first draw. I don’t think I’m doing anything special, are the results the same with both your mods? You mentioned you vape ejuice and this is your first flower vape, here’s a new perspective , a nice hit from my Juul is way more visual than most hits from a flower vape

Agreed. BTW, the colored stems were China stems. The German glass only came in clear.
IMO, the XL8r shorty cools better than the plain long stem, but the long one is superb.
