So in comparison to your e-nano, how good is the tm2? My dream portable IS a tiny battery powered e-nano. Does the tm2 approach that dream?

I have an OG tm, not a tm2, but it still hits bigger than the e-nano. If loaded with the same amount, they're not that far apart. But you can load more into the tm if you want the clouds.

I bought these after another poster recommended them. They work great and the mesh is quite sturdy. I've only needed to use one so far when I had to replace the TRRW screen that came with my wpa. They seem very similar in quality.

Not sure how it is on the TM2, but on the TM I broke my inner glass tube somehow. I only noticed because I heard some rattlin noises and when I took it apart I found it had cracked a piece broke off. Had to get a new one shipped out. I'm scared it will do it again, so I'm real careful making sure I insert the tube nice and square to everything.

Remove the stem, the adjusting ring, the O-ring, and the metal sleeve, battery, and tool.
Does it still rattle?
Does the rattle go away when the button is lightly-held still?
Tighten the bottom main screw. The O-ring between the glass and top plate may be red (like mine, or other color) rather than clear.
Hopefully, at this point it no longer rattles.
Broken oven glass can be replaced.
Broken heater glass repair requires major disassembly.

Reassemble, assuring that the stem adjusting ring is not loose.

Thanks y’all. I started to take my TM2 apart and then noted the top piece requires another screw inside to be removed (mentioned back in this thread a bit. Then I went on a hike. Came back and noticed the ring above the stem insert area was a little loose; pulled it off and then the whole metal basket. What a beautiful design! Anyway my bottom screen was just pushed concave a bit towards the heater, which I must have caused while trying to remove a few flakes that had dropped down. I push it back convex (so almost like the popular heater mod done that folks liked on the OG TM) and then reinstalled. Totally fixed! Hence the reason the rattle went away when I inserted the stem. I had of course a celebration bowl :)

I know y'all might be a touch biased towards the TM2, but I figured this is still the best place to get some advice.

Background: I've been vaping for a while. Here's my vape history:

magic flight: total classic, loved it, but hated dealing with the batteries.

silver surfer: The big bowl is great for parties, but COVID has made sharing a mouthpiece a touch taboo with my friend.

e-nano: my daily driver with dry stems (thanks Joda!!) and a bong for when I'm feeling frisky. It's so, so efficient (3-5 stems per day keeps me well medicated). It's the best home vape for my lifestyle. I can't say enough about it.

710coil and recycler: Only used when I need serious medication for my disability.

pax2: It's just ok. Too long to heat up and whispy hits,

ti dynavap: great high, but I feel like a crackhead with the lighter. I don't want an induction heater for my intended use, so it's relegated for rafting and backpacking,

Fury Edge: I thought this would be the one portable vape for me. It is in some ways. I love it for sipping while chilling at an Airbnb or at a friend's house, but it is truly a session vape. It doesn't really work well when I'm on the go, so I realized I needed something else.

Why I'm here: I want something more on demand for concerts, taking discrete hits when visiting/walking around cities and travel (flying in particular) in general. I use a smell proof bag for the Edge to keep the odor down and it works pretty damn well (but the Edge isn't the stinkiest of vapes with its silicone lid), so less stinky is always better.

Things I want: I want something that's easy to clean (I currently travel with a bottle of iso, some pipe cleaners and q-tips for the Edge). I want a vape that heats up fast and allows me to microdose two or three hits and be finished with a cap.

Does the tinymight 2 fit the bill? Is it tough enough to be thrown in a pack (in a lightly padded smell proof soft sided case)? Is there another small on demand vape I should consider?

Thanks for your help!!

FWIW, while the TM is superior to the Edge and easier to clean, I own both and wouldn't take the TM out and about over the Edge. The Edge and 4 capsules fit easily in my front pants pocket, and capsules are easy to load in advance and then swap out. You could carry the TM that way, especially with the stock MP, but many people seem to prefer at least slightly longer stems for native use.

The TM also has more glass parts that might break more easily, and reloading it at a concert seems like a PITA compared to the Edge with capsules (not a fan of capsules with the TM).

YMMV depending on if you can carry a backpack or even a fanny pack, in which case you could maybe have some extra stems pre-packed in a hard case, and then the size difference wouldn't matter like it would with just pants. But for truly discreet and on the go, I would pick the Edge hands down.

Glad to hear of an easy repair. I suspect that the rattle was simply a too loose adjusting ring, allowing the metal sleeve to move slightly. Inserting the stem caused the O-ring to press tighter against the metal sleeve.
Fixing the screen was a benefit and the screen was not related to the rattle.
That metal sleeve is indeed a work of art with its three outer rings centering the metal in the glass but reducing metal to glass contact; actually creating two insulating air chambers around the metal. Not to mention the machined ledges inside the sleeve to hold the screen and stop the stem from pushing against the screen.

From time to time I find a bit of baked on bud on the ledge inside the sleeve. A toothpick serves to loosen and remove the crud.
I like double ended, round toothpicks as they are sturdier. Click to enlarge pics.

I bought a pack of 10 or 20 (not sure now) rimless cup screens from eBay almost 3 years ago when getting my TM. Still using the same ones without problem. In the description, it says it expands once heated. Might be true or not, but I've never had a problem with my screens falling out after the first bowl. I don't stir either, so that helps with the screens staying put.

Here is an Aliexpress link to the same screens for a fraction of the price.

FWIW i carry my TM/TM2 wherever i go. In my pants pocket, jacket, fanny pack or backpack with nothing to protect it.
Straw sucking your herb is for me the easyest way to load a vape so the TM/TM2 is one of the easiest in this regard. No problem for me loading my stem in any situation.
When discretion is absolutely necessry (illegal state here) i use Storz and Bickel capsules. Drop one in the oven and sit the stem on it (you have to be very very careful if doing this with the TM as you can very easily push the heater screen on the heater and then short your TM. No prblem with the new heater screen on the TM2). I flip the capsule for the last draw. Performance is less good than with loading the stem but still satisfaying anough for this kind of situations IMO.

I'm a little worried. My OG TM which is over three years old is starting to have a small problem. It still works, but it does not seem to be getting as hot as it should. I've used it between 5-7 on my dial for almost all of my vaping and it has produced fantastic vapor since its first use. Even at much lower settings it would alway give me great hits. Now however, I need to set my temp dial to 8 and even then it doesn't produce the same amount of vapor I am accustomed to at lower levels. Because it is such an early model ( first 50 I believe ) , it doesn't offer any recalibration like the newer versions. any thoughts ?
I know my buddy Vaporific will tell my to get the TM2:lol:

Did you try loosening the screw a bit and then retighten it? That has worked for me (and others) a few times in nearly 3 years.

For me a TM2 is definitely in the cards, and preferably a RED one should it ever see the light of day. Maybe a TM2 for you too! :)

As @Vaporific said, try tightening the main screw first. Really crank it down. If that doesn't fix it I would open it up and clean contact point such as under the top cap where the metal strip touches, battery door threads and point where it contacts battery to start.

The advice given by @SquirrelMaster and @Vaporific addresses a particular Tinymight OG Design issue.
The battery-heater strip of metal, the top and bottom caps, the main screw, and the circuit board contacts are different metals (stainless, aluminum, copper?).
The electrical continuity passes through points that rely on pressure contact only (metal to other metal).
Corrosion where two dissimilar metals meet is common.
Corrosion increases resistance at the contact points.
The increased resistance through the electrical system affects the vaporizer's production.
In the Tinymight, the temperature control adjusts the system-resistance to determine temperatures.
Changes in system resistance are unwelcome unless you are deliberately recalibrating the system-resistance-temperature-map.

Loosening, cleaning, scuffing, re(ally)-tightening, are the means to overcome corrosive resistance.

My glass liner around the heater is all broken. It is not user replaceable. Is there anyone on here that does these kind of replacements? Estimate cost of repair if I ship to TM?

Hello

I wonder if anybody did notice that Dan Morrison drauwn years ago something that remind me a famous vape ?

uM3husY.jpg

I found this here : https://fuckcombustion.com/threads/the-nomad-from-morwood.21143/page-10

Maybe it's well known, sorry for the repetition in that case.
This picture made me smile, that could be a coincidence or an inspiration, no matter anyway, the result seems to be great !

Bonne journée

You mean this thing. You can buy it as spare Part.

My one is now broken as well. But still working...

This is the upper glass, not the glass around the heater. This glass is user replaceable, and available for TM! and TM2 (they are different).

Apparently the glass surrounding the heater is not offered as a spare part, and replacing the glass is a major diassembly/ reassembly project that likely voids the warranty.

Yeah I bought the upper glass not relizing there was a lower one as well. It even says right on the site if I bothered to read the description lol.
@Grass Yes nailed it at 100. It covers shipping parts and labor.
