It's this for me too. The 2018 DV is still a really amazing device, with the new M7 being solid (but not as good as my 2018). It's also extremely small if you get the basic version, and offers stem loading which many people enjoy. @Akàçìa In your price range and needs, I'd instead strongly...

Yep! The straight (not flat) one on the left was designed to be the exact size of the black dimpled glass stem that comes with the Fury 3. The cover fits over it perfectly. Still love my fury 3, too! It's so easy and effective to use, and feels great in the hand.

Happy Friday Peeps! I had another setback this week that has pushed my TM2 Stem Drop to early next week (though I'll update here if that's sooner). It's gonna be a bigger drop of 10+ stems, with bowl reducers as an option, and I want everything to be done well, so I need extra time. In the...

That's a good idea! It's pretty wide so maybe only something like to SB caps would fit right up since they are 14.5mm. I have tried (and posted above) using xmax caps in the SS Bat, and it works splendly. I've also made pipes to fit those caps for the Lotus, and it works equally well. So yeah...

Sorry for the lack of updates or reply last week. I had to take an unexpected and undesired hiatus. My hope is to have a TM2 stem drop this week, along with the TM2 bowl reducers. @Pib Heck yeah and thank you!! I really need to start printing comments like these to put up in my shop for morale...

My OG long stem with the walnut/black top almost passed the reach test last Friday. The color of the wood, plus the matching black ring, looks phenomenal with the OG stem. As @Octavia so wonderfully answered, I make them! This one is my personal "short kiseru", with the beautiful walnut Lotus...

HLF!

I really appreciate the depth and detail and transparency in materials and build information you gave @Dejan LimelightHerb ! It's a topic that matters to a lot of us here, and is a relief to know instead of wonder. As others have noted, I really appreciate your offering specs on everything...

First off, thank you all for the engagement and ideas and compliments. It really makes me happy and keeps me going. Plus, having these inserts in my own life and use has been an highlight the past couple days. It's a game changer with my low tolerance. I did some more testing with the V2 (1. or...

Alrighty peeps, I've got some Tinymight Load Reducer working prototypes I'm really excited to share and get feedback on. My curiosity was such that I've been through 3 iterations since Wednesday, and really love how they work. Like, really really love how they work and the layer of functionality...

I love seeing this. Right to repair and repairability is huge for me, both from a convenience standpoint but a long term usage standpoint. I'm excited to see more pictures and videos after you release this weekend (and eventually get one in my hands!).

Thank you all for this chatter about a reducer. Stuff like this puts ideas and purpose in my head, and I've already envisioned a design. I even have the parts in the shop to make it, I think. When I start machine work, I typically choose something small and fun to "warm up" with. (Like the 304SS...

Thanks so much @Pib for coming back with reviews on these different aspects of the MMS TM2 stem! I've really enjoyed my version of your stem recently. It's so chonky and hefty that it gives the TM2 a real presence. Cools excellently overall due to the fins and thermal mass keeping the domes in...

For something I expected to dislike and was disappointed by from the start, the TM2 has become my most used and most handled TED. >_> It's so hard to resist the siren call of quickly debowling and reloading a stem, followed by fast heating and easy clouds. 8.5 is definitely my sweet spot, as 9...

I am very biased, both towards my pipes and Stainless Steel, but I get loads of flavor from the Lotus with it. Plus, the narrower bowl sizing allows for more even heating and full extraction in my usage, which brings even more flavor. It's new and untouched as I got it last month, but I'm...
