Hey there. Hard to say! Mines a couple years old, too. Lots and lots of pain-free use. I will say that it took a slight beating in his latest episode. Flaming material everywhere. But she’s working solidly again, thanks to everyone’s help!

Thanks so much, Beluga, WisePenny, and everyone. I'll get my surgery on asap. Hey all... when reassembling, which goes in first?... the metal ring w. the screen (which I've successfully reattached!) or the empty, slightly larger metal ring?

I tried to attach them, but it's asking for a URL. So I tried uploading them to a Google drive, but it wouldn't accept that either. Apologies, guys. Here's a link to a folder of three pics: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1HgIdstJPQxRDEMR6ylLUCrCyGtf9pLD7 Thanks WisePenny. That is...

Thanks for the reply WisePenny. Indeed that IS what I am regrettably saying, and I hear you. I was just rushing. I did indeed fully disassemble / reassemble. I could be crazy, but I seem to remember the screen being seated within one of those metal rings, correct? Am I crazy? I have two...

Re-post for clarity, plus a link to pics: Hey hey friends. Faithful TM down on this sad eve. Hoping y’all can help. Was mid-use after a clean — standard set up — and noticed the cooling unit was sliding around loose in the glass pipe. (Time to change rubber bands) But because I still had...

Hey hey friends. Faithful TM down on this sad eve. Hoping y’all can help. Was mid-use after a clean — standard set up — and noticed the cooling unit was sliding around loose in the glass pipe. (Time to change rubber bands) But because I still had material in the tube, I used a a pencil’s...

Darn. That’s terrible news indeed!

Hey gang. TM woes this morn, and I’m hoping you can help. Symptoms: 1. TM has a rattle. 2. TM won’t turn on, despite full charge. 3. When I plug it in, I get a fast-blinking red light, 1 long buzz followed by 4 shorter buzzes, then no light. Any ideas? Motor need re-seating? If so, any...

Sadly I am not finding the specific instructions.

I would LOVE to know the higher-temp code. My TM has always been in different time zone as far as temperature. I start at 8.5, and then 10. Anything less does nothing (herb still green).

thanks again for your thoughts, everyone. Nope. Battery works fine. looks like I’ll be going in. I suppose I should write to TM first and at least get some instructions. sounds like this is the kind of repair intended to be done by users — vs sending it back. I’m sure it will go perfectly...

Thanks guys. The hand-banging brought the motor back to life enough to allow me to hear its gurgles. But I’d say the situation is worse now. Because now I can’t turn the unit on at all. Three clicks gets me a sustained gurgle vibration — and then turns off. So it sounds as though I’m...

Anybody’s TM ever get stuck in stealth mode (no vibrations)? I removed the battery, which is supposed to reset it, but no luck. Honestly, considering the series of moves required to turn on stealth mode, I’m worried it’s more likely that my vibration broke.

Thanks for the response. I clean very regularly... every 2-3 days, I’d say, rotating between two CUs. I have often wondered if it is the herb as well, though I must admit, it’s been a while since I had any good vapor (and a fair number of different strains). Definitely used to be better...

Fascinating! I’m afraid my TM isn’t feeling so well these days. I start at 8, get a tiny amount of vapor, and then follow w one or two vaporless hits at 10. The herb is indeed very very dark brown afterward, and —well — it works. But the lack of vapor and necessary high temps remain pretty...
