TinyMight / TM 2

A year or two back I had two friends that both got a TinyMight 2 from POV right around the same time. After a few days they both started having trouble with their heaters suddenly getting really hot and causing the bowl to combust. They ended up having to send them back and if I remember right, at the time the TM's were on back order so they just ended up getting another device. Since that was like a year or more ago I'd assume so but does anyone know this little bug got fixed and/or if POV was able to take out the bad stock??


Just depends how you use it and at what number. Mine combusts quit a lot even at 8, is the reason I stick to using other vapes.

Doesn't sound like any type of mainstream affected pattern that I've seen here, and you're talking about very none scientific samples from long ago... Sounds pretty meaningless to me, so I wouldn't be worried about any unresolved bugs, based on this?

I mean I do high temp one hitters through water with TP80, and I can do that with TM too, I just much prefer low and slow dry with TM for the enhanced vapor quality experience and for me superior even extraction (Tetra similar setup sometimes too, but I prefer using each one differently) when you take many hits on the lower end, there is actually not much left at all to extract on the higher end regardless
Exactly this for me. Multiple hits at low temp turning the dial up a bit and all the vapor gets exhausted for me. Even if I turn it up a bunch at the end. There is often nothing left.

I messaged one of them and asked about his TM 2 issue, he said that POV did say they had gotten a batch in and some of the devices in that run were having issues with the heaters over heating and they'd accidentally gotten mixed in with the good stock. They apologized for him getting a faulty device and got it swapped out for a couple of different vapes. It was just a small worry.....I'm pretty sure by now they've fixed the issue and POV has probably long since worked through all of that stock and got even more in.

I have some brief thoughts and questions about the TM2 I'd like to share.

The TM2 had an unfairly steep uphill trek to gain my appreciation. I don't like wood on my portables, bead blasted clear anodized aluminum, nor the size and ergos the TM2 seemed to have. Plus, I'm extremely pleased with other devices, and didn't feel it was something I needed. When it arrived, it exactly fit my mental model and expectations, but felt extremely light and insubstantial. The glass stems seemed to ruin the overall aesthetic, too, and I couldn't get great vapor from it. Through no fault of the TM2 itself, I didn't like it.

It was a real moment like this

At first.

Because I do love it.

One of the first positive things I noted about it was how the wood felt. It's really nicely finished, smooth and unyielding, pleasing to run your fingers and palm over. The Purpleheart has this really beautiful luminous wine coloring with intriguing grain throughout. I kinda don't want to stop handling it.

OMG It's so pretty I wanna SCREAM.

The ergos seem a lil wackadoo. I can fully grasp it in both orientations, but it feels a bit oversize. Plus, the button is way down at the bottom that I'm not sure the best way to engage it.

I really didn't like this at first, but I've come to really love how interesting it is to flop around in my hands and try different holding styles on. Even just holding the bottom part, index finger on the button like a trigger, feels secure and great given the baseplate is so much wider than the body.



sYQ2uN3.jpeg



The learning curve on this is real, and I spent a lot of time just getting more heat than vapor. With the open draw, I also kept overfilling my lungs chasing the vapor that never came. Plus, I felt like was getting incomplete extraction. The magic, for me, was running at 7.5 or 8 on the dial. From there, I inhale slow until I feel airflow resistance. This comes on like flipping a switch, and let's me know the load is starting to give off vapor.

Then I take advantage of the high airflow and rip it, resulting in some ginormous clouds. It's amazerz. While I know this thing can probably give wonderful flavor, it's more of a "press button to recieve medication immediately" device for me.

On that point, I REALLY like how instant on demand this is. I have other on demand devices, butane and electronic, that work great. We live in a golden age of dry herb vaporizers. That said, this gets close to what I needed from the Vapexhale Evo in everything but pure flavor (which could just be the temps I'm using idk).

Sometimes I go from being fine to needing to renew medication RightNowRightNowRightNow. I don't need to fiddle with reloading, lighters or techniques, hot things, or warmup times. And in those times I usually need the full big dose in a single instance, rather than over several desperate draws. That's to say nothing of the ease I can load a stem and and microdose sips from it across an evening to give me a little boost as needed.

I can 100% affirm that the TM2 does this like no other vape I own. I was gonna catch and release this based on initial impressions, but it's become indispensable.

Additionally, I really love that the TM2 doesn't time out at all once you've done the 3 clicks to turn it on. It's so incredible to just leave on as long as you want, having 1 press of the button between you and medication.

Because I'm really anxious about leaving a device "on", especially one with an internal battery, I decided to test the TM2 Power Drain In Standby. My results and math below, based on taking the included Molicel P46A right off the charger, measuring voltage unloaded, leaving it installed in the TM2 for 48 hours on standby only, then taking a reading.

4.1942V @ 10:55 AM 4/25/2025 (START)
4.0966V @ 10:55 AM 4/27/2025 (END)

(START) - (END) = 0.0976V

0.0976V / 48Hrs = 0.0020V drop per hour

(Max Charge of 4.1942V) - (Min desired safe charge of 3.0V) = 1.1942V

1.1942V / 0.0020V = 597.1 Hours to Discharge on Standby

597.1Hrs / 24Hrs = 24.8792 Days to Discharge on Standby

Need to Care about leaving the TM2 on Standby for long periods of time from a purely battery discharge standpoint = 0.000 Need to Care

Questions for you experienced TM users, if you have time to answer:

1) How do I hold this best? Pressing the thin side into my palm, engaging the button with the base of my palm, seems to feel great and natural. Will this cause harm to the button itself? Should I be using my pinky finger or something to lightly press the button?

2) I'm finding my "sweet spot" in bowl size is the dimensions of the dosing cap, but without using the dosing cap. This gives me .25g on full pack, with the ability to load much less and it still works fine. The high airflow and straw nature just sucks everything up to the intake when I draw anyways.

Do you reduce the bowl size way down with the sliding CU, or leave it higher up?

3) Do you use the dosing cap? Would you use a dosing cap if it was something smaller like the Roffu/v3pro or HR Edge/F3 dosing caps? I love a dosing cap, and normally use them exclusively, but I personally find the stem load on the TM2 provides best vapor, and I kinda like scooping up fresh herb into it to pack. I'll probably never use it on the go, though, which is where dosing caps shine.

LOLed at the arrested development

Personally, I only hold the bottom half, so it is comfortable to use any finger on the button trigger, in any configuration, and either hand... That puts less pressure on feeling like it is too big to hold, makes it feel a little more casual leisurely to me?? Using your palm should be fine though too, sometimes it just needs a squeeze really

Do you reduce the bowl size way down with the sliding CU, or leave it higher up and leave it?

You can, but you don't have to, you can leave a little room, but it is best to put a basket screen in front of the flat screen if you are using the CU, a lot of us found it better with a basket screen, but I haven't used that CU in so long? Certainly better flavor without it, lower temps can shine... You could try a low slow temp step if you want??

3) Do you use the dosing cap?

No never, just makes no sense to me when you're dealing with a glass stem-based vape, that's the beauty of having removable chamber pathways in my experience...

I usually hold it with my 3rd finger on the button, but I have arthritis and sometimes have to change because of joint stiffness. For this some reason, I’ll sometimes use it in session mode even though it is hard on the battery life.

Questions for you experienced TM users, if you have time to answer:
Especially as it's so quick and easy to swap the battery out, I mostly use session as it means I can hold it absolutely any way I want.
I use straw method to load the stem and keep it as loose as I possibly can (coarsely ground flower), then holding the TM2 upside down slide the tube in, then keeping it upside down turn the heater on, then when it's at temperature turn it 90° so it's horizontal (so the weed doesn't fall out the stem) and start pulling. Once the restriction starts (which I guess is when the cannabinoids become liquid enough to soak into the cellulose) you can hold it in any orientation as the weed generally sticks together while you finish the bowl. All that palaver is mainly for max airflow for fast extraction which is also why session mode works better as it's not on for long. This has also resulted in an immaculate oven that's never needed cleaning.

Greetings everyone, I have been using my TM2 Purple heart for a couple of days now. I got a really cool mouth piece that is purple heart from Rogue...

The TM2 is just perfection. How easy it is to clean. How consistent it is...how beautiful it is. Wow...I cannot stop looking at it. It is truly remarkable.

Last night I think I discovered what the TM2 vapor signature, in my usage/temps/stem/etc, reminds me of. The 7thfloor DBV. A bit roasty, fully satisfying, and completely filling experience. I got a rip and experience exactly like the first day with the DBV that made me quit combustion entirely. That "oh this replaces the effects of smoking exactly" revalation.

That was a long time daily and fave, so I'm very pleased to make the connection. In fact, a near instant heatup, portable DBV was always a dream. Something compact for the desk that didn't need to be left on or have a long heatsoak.

Very pleased.

Thanks for these answers! I'm definitely using the "lazily hold bottom half and press button with middle or index finger" style more, and it's very relaxed. Really reminds me of ripping on an expensive ecig mod, with the clouds to match. The palm method is working too, and I alternate. I guess I like that the TM2 doesn't fit perfect in any one config, but has a lot of different ways to hold that feel great overall.

What are you using for stem cooling if you aren't using the CU? A custom glass stem with lots of turbulation, or just straight through at low temps?

I agree with the lack of dosing caps in the TM, now. I love it in my other devices but it just adds extra steps when I can easily debowl the stem and scoop fresh. I don't really find I need to stir the stem either. Just complete extraction without removing the stem.

I usually hold it with my 3rd finger on the button, but I have arthritis and sometimes have to change because of joint stiffness. For this some reason, I’ll sometimes use it in session mode even though it is hard on the battery life.

I'm sorry you have to deal with that, but really glad that the session is there for you in these times. I'm also enjoying using the 3rd finger method now, holding halfway down the TM2. I'll def keep this in mind for when my own hands have a hard time.

Especially as it's so quick and easy to swap the battery out, I mostly use session as it means I can hold it absolutely any way I want.

This has also resulted in an immaculate oven that's never needed cleaning.

Session/Autofire must be a fog machine once it gets going. I'll try this sometime as it seems fun for bowl clearing.


What I'm also getting is that the "dosing cap depth" stem bowl depth is about perfect for all of you, with smaller or looser loads fitting within that space. Since it's convection, that makes sense that it works well when not fully packed.

On my stems, I'll have a fixed depth for the bowl, and was half expecting a lot of different preferred configs to pop up. Like "oh I use exactly 17mm deep" or "3mm deep is my maximum". Personally I tried both of these and came back to the "original/OEM" depth as perfect. Even when loading less, it's less hassle to have it deeper in the stem at stock config, than just a little bit on the end.

What stem are you using in your photo?

It's a pre production prototype I'm hoping to release in May. My sig has my FC thread, if you wanna check up on it. So far, I love this stem iteration with the TM2. Great cooling and airflow, and it looks super neat.

Well it was a journey, originally I was using backwards Milaana stems as WPA with basket screen, and variety 18mm hooks and other glass, then ultimately ideally the triple right angle side car hook from Oregon Glass Blower... Ended up with some 14 mm WPA too (no glass screens, open with steel mesh basket screens only or flat screen if they fit as some do from GVB) and more variety of hooks, other styles of dry pieces, I have some straight cooling stems that have spikes and or balls from a few different sources but I don't remember use them because upside down and bends are so much better for cooling in my experience (while not needing the form factor)

This is a nice one though, still on sale, and WPA so you can start low direct, temp stepping, then turn up connecting it through hook or other piece, even water to finish:

However this is the style I pretty much always use now, so convenient having it be all one piece, easy to hold in one hand, mine is a bit more compact, but this one has more cooling:
Can get other ones, he will make more eventually too, can go custom if patient, then you don't pay till it's ready ... He has a wide variety now!

Session/Autofire must be a fog machine once it gets going. I'll try this sometime as it seems fun for bowl clearing.

I actually don't think so, I mean I only use it for high temp one hitters, because you can't actually clear the vapor or heat, so that would drive me nuts lol I know you like session style vapes though! I just always feel like they are forcing me to do more back-to-back than I want, while wasting potentially, ruining a flavor and dirtying up the device more?? Eh

I found the most important single thing about the bowl was packing light as possible, hence my technique of keeping the tube upside down (bowl upwards) until it's got to vaping temp in the bowl (the restriction point), but with regard to depth, I got the impression that too deep started to give diminishing returns, with more stirs and intakes needed to clear a bowl.

I prefer something to be able to clear fast and easy (bad chest makes this important) - if it can do that, then the alternative of a denser pack and slower experience won't be a problem either.
I suspect there's a point where if the weed is too far from the heater (i.e. bowl is too deep), it loses too much heat to maintain a high enough temperature at that part of the bowl to properly clear it.

Be interesting to compare a tube made of a low conduction ceramic to see if that heat loss could be minimised making the extraction more efficient.

Had mine over a year now and I am very pleased with it I can't lie. Odd little gripe here and there but nothing dealbreaking, not even close.
My stock stems with CU gunked up so quickly so I've got that on the side awaiting a clean lol whilst I run the titanium stock with screen through my girlfriend's bong which happens to be the perfect size for the jury rigged WPA I created. Some form of silicone taken from an unused water dispenser. "high temp" silicone is just a marketing label, same as "medical grade" so I figured if it's rated for consumption through it's not the worst thing in the world to use.

Genuinely takes me back to being a young ass jit smoking in the woods and getting so high my visual framerate starts to drop.

I wish someone would make a simple zirconia tube stem for the tinymight. I have been enjoying the oem glass tubes a lot and can't get it quite right with the titanium tubes for out and about. I know @invertedisdead was considering a more engineered zirconia tm stem at one point. I would actually be thrilled with just a zirconia tube!

Agreed there could be better materials than glass. For some reason I've never wanted to try the titanium stem despite the fact it may work better, but I'm not really sure what puts me off, maybe the fact it's opaque, odd really, though I ended up mainly using TED's in the end and mostly keep the TM for portable use, so fewer opportunities to even think about trying it.
Anyone give a detailed comparison between the glass and Ti and save me the ridiculously massive effort of trying it myself? 😉

I've never used the ti stem, never wanted to tbh. It's got the reputation of being hot and not good for back to backs. It's not got a great reputation for flavour.

IMO any metal after the chamber (including the stock cu) greatly affects the flavour. I believe that's the premiere reason for the huge aftermarket mouthpiece market. Glass makes a massive difference with this device. Try a simple WPA with j hook for a cheap way of testing the all glass vapour path. 👍

From my personal perspective flavour has little bearing (as long as it isn't bad enough to make me vomit! 😉).
I have almost no smell or taste beyond a sort of "it's weed isn't it?".
What I wondered is whether the Ti would heat up much faster than the glass, and help to clear the bowl faster, especially higher up (bottom of bowl). I instinctively don't like it, but if it worked much better that could be enough to put up with the less attractive aspects.

It's no big thing, more just a little curious to be honest. It's not that the glass is that bad, although the shorter original did get a little too hot, the slightly longer one was much better.
